  1. No POPFile? on 11 Anti-spam Products Tested · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Before I moved to Gmail I used POPFile. Not only as a spam filter, but to classify mail into categories. After a week of training it almost never got anything wrong.

  2. No no no, /your/ syntax is all wrong on MySQL Database Design and Optimization · · Score: 2, Funny

    escaping is good.

    They are talking about "Fast" TCP, which AFAIK just consists of a better routing algorithm and using multiple TCP streams at once.

    Looks like they still have some work to do. The picture looks fairly washed out.

    Maybe you just dont see it. Or maybe I have an overactive imagination. Either way, I think HL2 is different from other games. All FPS games move you from point A to B, but the way they convey the story is different from HL2. HL2 lets you play the entire epic and make it your own story whereas other games tell you the story then set you on an objective.

    In a reply to the post in your link:

    Is this coming from a confirmed source? It would explain why all of a sudden the site and its content completely disapeared...

    I think thousands of slashbots pounding on the server explain it better :)

    Very simple solution:
    • Zip up all your files
    • Encrypt with GPG/PGP
    • Rename to "Olsen Twins Nude - XXX.zip"
    • Upload on Kazaa

    Does it really matter? I mean, it's the electoral votes that count.

    I'd say the worst is a tie between Wife Swap and He's a Lady. Both make me want to commit genocide equally.

  16. Re:Congratulations on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    No shit.

    I've never cared about politics before, or the presidential voting. But now I do.

    Three years ago, USA was generally looked upon as a great country. Now other countries will laugh at us. "Stupid Americans" isn't an uncommon phrase.

    That one man could cause such huge change by lying through his teeth and STILL win the popular vote astonishes me. I hope he can pull us out of this, because I am certainly not proud to be an American anymore.

    Luckily for the ones with the rounded cables, none of them understands the crosstalk issues, but ignorance is bliss

    You can get round cables with shielding that prevents this.

  25. Re:Tips for running a successful Freenet node on P2P Not Dead, Just Hiding · · Score: 1

    I suggest checking out Entropy.

    The author learned from Freenet's faults and created this to fix it. Not only is the network much faster, it is written in C so you get much better CPU/memory usage. It is also compatible with FCP, so most of your Freenet client apps will work with little or no change.

    I currently have a Freenet node with a 50gig store, 30gig of that used. It has been perm on the network for a few months now. On the other hand, my Entropy node has been running for two weeks and is an order of magnitude faster at getting files than Freenet.
