The Powerbooks didn't get a whole lot of anything this time around. Better resolution and a dual layer dvd appear to be the only real changes. The processor speed is the same. The max ram is the same. The hard drive is 20MB larger, but it's also slower (5400rpm vs. the 7200rpm drive in my Rev-D 17"). Certainly not worth upgrading. I suspect they did this only to push inventory.
Most Koreans can't understand anything babelfish says
So this is an entirely different Slashdot article now. Ask Slashdot: Can you successfully order a laptop from Korea without actually speaking Korean? I would like to see some of the creative solutions people come up with.
I'd imagine it was a reference to the fact that you'd have to speak Korean to successfully order it from a Korean retailer/website, rather than language problems using the OS.
No plans to release it in the US yet, so start learning Korean if you want this one.
Are there people really walking around with the Korean version of Windows running on their laptops simply because they bought it in Korea? What's the Korean word for fdisk?
There's been a lot of interest in this area but nobody's felt like taking it upon themselves to make a Debian distro AFAIK. Part of it may have had to do with the storage driver backend, which supports several different approaches, but required a recompile to switch from say Postgres to MySQL. In 3.6, the storage backend can be built dynamically making packaging much easier. Perhaps someone will pick 3.6 up now.
I thought that whitelisting had been a feature of every email reader/server since spam filtering began.
DSPAM's trusted sender whitelisting is automatic, based on who you converse with. It's not quite social networking, but is very useful, and requires no effort on the end-users part.
4FPs for 100-something more TPs? Heck yeah. At least for me.. But keep in mind these are just preliminary training numbers with 1000 messages in each corpus. After real-world training, any of these approaches will be much more accurate.
Version 3.4 has win32 support, but nobody wanted to maintain the build kit. It stopped working with 3.6 and was removed. You can build 3.4 natively in Windows, or you can build 3.6 under Cygwin.
Below are some tests I ran with a pre-release version of DSPAM on a test corpus. As you can see, Markovian discrimination is significantly more efficient than any Bayesian methods and Chi-Square. Markovian showed slightly more (4 more than the top contender) false positives, but it also caught 100 more spam... some additional tuning, tweaking, and most importantly, training, can easily get this down to a very low error rate.
Solaris 10, Linux 2.6, and FreeBSD 5.3... all have strengths, weaknesses, features, and deficiencies... so why hasn't the OSI succeeded in the cross-pollination of these three great OS's? If they're really going to benefit from each other, why not get some linux kernels with SMF or better SMP out there? When will apt finally replace/usr/ports in FreeBSD? And when will Soalris' TCP stack not suck by implementing code from Linux or BSD? I hug all three of these OS's on a daily basis, but if open source is really working why can't we seem to make an OS out of these three that flat out rocks?
Hacking (or any programming) is neither art or science.
Considering how most people on Slashdot use the term hacking so loosely, it could be something artful (as in "hacking the stove" when you create a recipe you like), scientific (as in "hacking an egg" by cracking it on the pan) or dastardly (as in "hacking a building" by using the back door).

the only real winner after a hybrid purchase is the environment.
With the exception of the batteries and other non-biodegradable components used in a hybrid, whose manufacture also contributes to pollution.
On second glance, you are right. This has a 5400rpm. So at least it's not a downgrade, but it's certainlly not much of an upgrade either.

The two biggest mysteries of the world: How morons get modpoints, and how a first post can get marked as redundant.

Isn't that what Babelfish is for?
Isn't carbon fibre both flammable as well as electrically conductive?
It was marketed on an upbeat as "planned obsolescence-friendly".

I won't say more since I despise vaporware.
Sounds like he has high expectations for this project.
