I've put 3.0.0pre1 on a production system that filters ~350k messages per day. With some tweaking of the RBL, bayes, and AWL rules, it is much (~10%) more efficient at tagging spam than 2.63, which I'm running on a parallel server that also sees ~350k messages/day (load balancing is your friend).
Just out of curiosity, that sounds like you're running it on your mail gateway. How do your users set their spamassassin options to adjust their filter settings, or do you just give everyone a global setting?
I know the Slashdot crowd will likely rake me over the coals for stating all of this, saying we are just evil and greedy. However, we are a R&D-driven company, and it helps pay my paycheck.
You are evil and greedy. Companies should invent things and give them away to the public domain for free, like open source programmers do. Anything else is doubleplusungood.
You're clearly uninformed - a 4U Nexan 'ATA-Beast' array with fiberchannel connect to a server holding 43 300G SATA drives RAID-5'd works out to about 11.72 TB - costs about $41,000 fully populated.
Fully $9000 under the cost quoted by the original poster. Fantastic! We'll need about 50 of those for our backup needs.
You backup 500 terabytes of stuff? Tell your users to clean out their porn directories for christ's sake. WTF are you backing up that takes up so much space.. video?
Yeah, well 7 years ago I paid $200 for 8MB of RAM. A Travan backup system is pretty ancient in terms of technology.
For perspective, a 100GB/200GB LTO1 tape costs like $55US. I'd say that is a pretty good deal in the price department. Tapes will be around for many years to come. For archival and most sisater recovery, there aren't many better solutions.
On the other hand, that LTO tape drive is going to rock you over $2500. Compare that to the $250 I bought my original Colorado Jumbo 250MB tape drive for when a 250MB hard drive was about $400. Tapes were under $20. So basically, with compression, I could backup my whole hard drive. I'd need a $2500 tape drive and $55 tapes to backup the $120 200GB ATA hard drive in my workstation. That's a bit impractical. Tape drive prices have NOT kept up with hard drive price drops by any stretch of the imagination making home tape backup impossible.
It might have been clear if you'd paid attention to the repeated references throughout all three films of the imminent departure of the elves to the Grey Havens.
Did you miss the entire leave/stay subplot with Elrond and Arwen?
No, I didn't, but from the sounds of it the elves were just retreating to some island until the war died down. From the way people are describing it the Grey Havens is more like an afterlife that you never return from.
I guess I'm getting it confused with the elves in Dragonlance retreating to Southern Ergoth to flee the coming of the Dragon armies. That was a physical place they were sailing off to and not really a permanent evacuation.
And actually, yes... I did take a class on this shit.
They have a class on Lord of the Rings? Jesus, this is a lot more complicated than the movie presents. I guess I may have to break down and read the books. Though, I guess I can't berate you guys for being huge geeks because I could probably spout off tons of the same kind of useless trivia about the Dragonlance universe.;-)
Now I use adaware and only remove the small subset of ads that I find annoying. Most ad banners make it to my browser unmolested. And that includes the majority of Slashdot ads.
I agree. The trouble with most ads is that they are TOO annoying. Anything that flashes rapidly is instantly going to get the boot via adblock. WTF are they thinking using seizure-inducing banner ads on some of these pages? Idiots.
If they had just put a simple static banner ad up I very likely would have looked at it as I'm browsing the page, but the minute you animate it, make it flash, turn it into a Flash ad, etc. then the game is up. I will go out of my way to download adblock on a new Mozilla/Firefox install and use it to block ads before I continue web browsing. I hope whoever invented animated GIFs spends eternity in a lake of fire.
I hope they flesh out that one ending where Frodo, Bilbo, and Gandalf get on the boat with the elves and sail away. WTF was that all about? It made it seem like they were all going to die, yet Frodo and Gandalf looked fine. Were they committing suicide on the high seas? Maybe it would've been more clear if I had read the books, but the movie should explain it well enough so one doesn't have to resort to that. I don't have time for books anymore which is why I rely on getting my culture through hit movies.
In placental mammals, the fetus is parasitic on the mother.
Well, that was the old view of it, but if fetuses contribute stem cells to the mother then they are no longer simple parasites, at least according to my dictionary:
# Biology. An organism that grows, feeds, and is sheltered on or in a different organism while contributing nothing to the survival of its host.
and png truly is a better standard why should geeks care what happens to gif?
Because most people still use GIFs and most older browsers and paint programs don't support the PNG format. If GIFs are unencumbered by patents then it becomes the preferred format for activist web-nerds again since there's no need to worry about PNG incompatibilities with older software.
I don't drive to work, and it's exceedingly inconvenient to go to a LAN party uptown by way of northern NJ, as that means going from NYC to home to NYC again - inefficient.
Then you need to ask your workplace to offer a secure storage area for your personal belongings during the day, perhaps in a manager's locked office, then you could pick it up at the end of the day. I can't carry my gun to work or even have it in my car (work on federal land) if I want to hit the range at the end of the day, but you don't see me complaining. I accept that there are limits we must work within, not just blatantly thumb our noses at.
When corporate policy is stupid, you ignore it. Otherwise you can't do your job. The people who follow company rules no matter what are usually drones who care more about their retirement than actually doing something.
What an ignorant view. When corporate policy is "stupid" you bring it up to your management and work through the system, you don't "ignore" it. You obviously have no respect for your company's policies and certainly have no business working there if you're going to violate them so blatantly. Nobody is forcing you to work in an environment you don't like, so if you feel that way why don't you save everyone the headaches and just leave?
Where do you fit, I wonder?
Being a computer security person I guess I'm a "corporate drone" to you. That's fine, but I'll be the one on the other side of the table with your manager handing you your pink slip for violating company policies.
The sneaky bastards kept trying to steal my laptop, my PDA and my Nomad Jukebox to do this. I kept catching them and throwing them out of my cube (at one point, literally, as he refused to leave until he had formatted my laptop's hard drive and I had to roll him out in my chair and overturn it in the corridor).
You make it out to seem like your corporate security people were in the wrong here. What were YOU doing bringing those items in when it's obviously against your corporate security policy? Remember, you're at work to work, not to screw around with your personal stuff. Leave them at home or in your car until you leave the premises. Security policies exist for a reason, and believe it or not, nowhere in there is "To fuck with M-2's head" written as a reason for it being put into place.
Yes, but not an iPod. A top secret program was smuggled out of the CIA headquarters in The Recruit using a USB keyfob hidden in the base of a coffee mug. The stupid thing of course is that top secret CIA workstations probably don't even have USB ports or removeable media drives of any kind. Hey, it's a movie though.
No kidding. I'm suprised these same guys haven't torn apart Fahrenheit 9/11's factual errors and inconsistencies and bitched about those too. They're movies people, they're not meant to be truthful representations of facts. Sheesh.
And I *still* have trouble getting my sister and mother to use Mozilla Firefox. I had converted my mother over to Firefox and Thunderbird Friday night only to get a frantic call in the morning that it wasn't working. Whenever she tried to view a profile in Yahoo Messenger it'd give an error message about the component not being found, which she'd click ok to, and then it'd bring up the profile in Mozilla Firefox just fine. Clearly this annoyed her enough to force me to switch her back to IE as the default browser. Stupid Yahoo Messenger must be tied to IE too tightly. At least I told her to use Firefox for just normal web browsing... she did say it was faster and didn't crash when playing Yahoo's Canasta game like IE 6 does.
If you throw out all the 1's and all the 10's (which may well be the beast practice for any 1-10 raking system) the average is 7.7581 for Americans. Meh.
Then factor in that 95% of the people seeing and voting for the movie are liberal Democrat activists and suddenly it's a pretty shitty movie.
And it's about getting John Kerry elected. This is a pretty blatant violation of campaign finance laws hiding under the blanket of being a "documentary". I'm sure Moore is getting quite the kickback from Mrs. Heinz-Kerry and her husband to bring this movie out right now. The funny thing is that most people have already forgotten about F-9/11 and are going to see Spider-Man 2 instead. Only the most die-hard liberals and/or America-haters even bother to see this mockumentary.
Unfortunately you won't see this comment since the moderators will kill it in a few minutes, but I kind of expect that with the liberal slant here. The truth needs to get out though.
While the U.S. has oftentimes been at odds with French policy, we must remember that the U.S. exists mostly due to the efforts of France.
That was the French monarchy. The complaints are usually aimed at the cowardice and weakness of the French republic which didn't emerge for at least a decade after that (1789?).
I played COH on a friend's account, and all i could think about was for 50$, and a monthly fee, what exactly am i getting besides a really cool character creation menu?
Well, you can run around and kill bad guys, gain experience and level up to get more powers. That's about it. I still love it, but it has gotten kind of boring and I'm only at level 10. I'll probably cancel it next month since it's not really worth $15/month... BF1942 is free.;-)
Had it been done automatically, the server would have simply stopped working for unknown reasons, at some MS-selected random time...
You mean the random time like 3:00am that is listed in Automatic Updates by default, or some other random time that's selectable from the drop down box on when to check for and apply critical security patches automatically? I've been using this since it came out and have no problems, but then again, we don't really do anything complicated or mission critical with Microsoft software.
Its the deterent. Now that people can and will be caught it'll make people think twice.
And thus comes an end to Jerry Seinfeld's bootlegging career.
(It's sad I'm going to explain this to avoid a -1 offtopic, but Jerry Seinfeld was forced into bootlegging movies for a professional bootlegger in NY during his TV sitcom when the bootlegger ate too much candy and got a stomach ache and had to leave. He made Jerry finish the bootlegging of some movie and liked his camcorder work so much that he made him bootleg other movies.)
