Not at all. If you have paid for a iNet connetion and are also paying for phone (and want a "land line" as opposed to just a cell phone) then voip makes lots of sense -- esp when the implementation allows you to plug in any phone to the "box" -- like vonage. I am currently test driving vonage and am close to terminating the majority of my "normal" phone service. This will be saving me about $400 per year in phone bills (my wife makes lots of coast to coast calls). I plug a wireless phone into the vonage (cisco) voice modem and use it like any other phone.
If you don't download the images then you *probably* have no way to differentiate spam from any other mail you may receive from online acocunts, pix of friends kids, etc and the spammers win again. If the information is in the image, then there is nothing to key off of, right?
if the filter could render what would show up on the user's email window, somehow analyze and pull statistics (OCR maybe?) from the image(s) and filter against that...
Synthesize polio with mail order components? egads! One would expect that this genie can't be put back into a bottle.
This being the case we better figure out how to minimize incentives to build weapons. Thus far we in the good'ol USofA have a rotten track record in this regard.
IBM has implemented airbags for laptops? OOOhhhhh -- better watch out, I think SCO has the license for that technology. Wait, nevermind. That was Wind Bags.
I would be even more proud with Dean (or reasonable facsimle thereof) in the White House. Getting more and more embarassing to live in the US of A the way things run today
Release of his campaign tools is an indication of how he interacts with folks around him. The grassroots nature of the Dean campaign is a breath of fresh air. Everyone knows that campaign contributions give leverage to the giver. Dean's funds mostly come from you and I. Much rather have someone in the white house that answers to the contry as a whole -- not to a few fat cats.
Too bad not more voters seem to get it. Things really could be different and better!
Given all the donations that the Calif recall candidate Cruz Bustamonte received from Indian tribes I am suprised he is not releasing patches for Apache.
Have had my Prius for 2 years and 45000 miles (reminds me -- I have to take it in for its FREE sched maint). This car is wonderful. While wide open roads don't show much of its strengths (except for being significantly quieter and smoother than other econo cars) when the traffic gets bad the mileage goes up. Lifetime AVERAGE of the car is near 45 MPG in mixed commute (highway/surface street) use. Battery appears to hold just as much charge now as it did when it was new. Reliability has been great. There was a fuel system "issue" and the dealer fixed that and gave me a loaner car (not a Prius, *sigh*) while they had mine.
Downsides are backseat without much legroom, Front seats are tight for folks over 6 foot. Mine didn't have a cruise control available when new but you can get that (&even Satelite nav system) now.
Next years model is supposed to be bigger, faster and use even less gas. Will have to wait and see -- I might want to trade up.
Car has *enough* power to get the job done. Can't remember when I thought it was too slow to handle the current driving situation but will lose in drag races to most other cars (but will do the qtr mile with a fraction of the pollutants put into the air as the competition).
I Strongly recommend this car. Expecially for folks who live in nasty commute areas. I find the car to be much more relaxing in traffic. There is a calming effect when inching along in stop and go and the engine is not even running. Very nice.
Now that is a real possibility. For some reason, the masses in the good 'ol USA seem to like this windbag. If he winds again its because we deserve him. I will be heartbroken that education in this country is far worse than is acknowledged by anyone. Maybe it is time to move...
I just hope that when all the terrorst attacks start that folks recognize the huge red targets Bush painted on all our backs.
Vote fraud is covered in other posts. This was adminstered by jeb and his pet, Katherine Harris
by purging voter rolls of folks with names "similar" to those of convicts.
Another item, Lets not forget that Bush also doesn't want to be judged -- he vetoed US participation in the world court.
Known by who? All our electoral system does is add noise to the will of the people. Last election was separated by a few percent (even in popular votes). That being the case the 15% who DONT vote on party lines can easily tilt the tide. Why one person's vote should count more than any others in an election is a mystery to me. Maybe we should also go back to only having white mail landowners vote...
Anything Bush does or directs or his agents do can be blamed on Bush.
Bush thrashed our alliances long before Sept 11 or the attack on Iraq - now we are the ones left holding the Iraq bag when it could have been a UN operation.
Running the justice dept like the Gestapo is quite predictable with this "president".
Oh yes, another loophole in the constitution made this windbag our chief executive. More people voted for Gore. Gawd.
No lie, that film has it all! action, very cheezy special effects, superficial love interest, kung fu combat, and a david vs. goliath story line -- I LOVED it!
You can build a 16 board system in a 9U chasis that has 16x16 or 256 altivecs. With enough of a hurricane of air you could stuff two of these boxes into a 19" inch rack for 512 processors. How about that?

to see if DMCA really has merit in the courts. This is so nutty its unbelievable.

that is why I suggested pulling stats from the image or doing OCR. Words from ocr could simply be fed back to the baysean filter system.

Sounds quite difficult but not impossible?

I heard that Jay Leno had a response to Colin Powell's deadline for composition of a new Iraq constitution:
They can take ours, after all we arn't using it...

Or even, "This old POS"
That would be too smart for us Americans. Heck we are so dumb we put Bush in office (somehow).
Now that is a real possibility. For some reason, the masses in the good 'ol USA seem to like this windbag. If he winds again its because we deserve him. I will be heartbroken that education in this country is far worse than is acknowledged by anyone. Maybe it is time to move...
