The spam problem is getting bigger and bigger every day. I've always archived my Spams and now have ca. 12000 in my Spam box. Appr. 8000 have been sent in 2002. That means, I've got 2 times more spam this year than in the 5(!) years before.
BUT I'm not the only one. People will start fighting. Bayesian filtering is a wonderful and elegant solution. It's not perfect, but it works good enough. After only 6 days of active filtering and training with POPFile, it detects nearly 60% of my spam correctly, with just one false positive. And it's getting better every day.
It's a POP proxy on your computer and should work with nearly every mail client on earth. POPFiles configuration and management is done in your browser. The documentation makes it failsafe to configure Outlook (Express), Eudora and some other. Installation is done in 2 minutes. Written in Perl and therefore works under Windows and Unix. A new version has been released just yesterday and now works better with international charsets, allows white-list (or magnets in POPFile jargon), configurable stop-word-lists.
The perfect solutions for all, who don't have IMAP and don't have admin access for their mail server (or simply do not have time to install server based filtering).
If POPFile manages to detect 90% of my spam with no false positives after 2 weeks of training, I will be perfectly happy.
Although I wouldn't second all of your remarks, you're mostly right.
Palm should have done the licensing deal sooner. IMHO Sony is the last innovator in the Palm league. Palm would be mostly dead without Sony.
If Palm had licenced their OS sooner, we could possibly enjoy a bunch of wonderful PDA/mobile phone combos. But Palm was closed those days and Nokia chose Symbian instead.
And I think learning pie menues is easier than gestures cause you have visual feedback. Wait 1 second and it shows you what the icons mean.
Therefore I don't need months to memorize them. I just need 4 or five (next/previous tab and reload to name the three most important).
Of course one can argue, that the normal right click text menu is enough. Perhaps I'm just happy, cause the pie menues give me exactly those functions that are missing (for me) in the normal right-click-text-menu.
It's available in Europe only (not a problem for me, cause I'm from Germany) and ATI doesn't have any specs online. Passive cooling? Driver support for Linux? Perhaps, perhaps not.
I don't need the latest DirectX-9 gimmicks and want a passively cooled, cheaper, but fast enough version.
The Radeon 9000 graphic cards are wonderful. An All-In-Wonder-Card based on the Radeon 9000 would be wonderful for my quiet "home theatre - MP3 - DVD - digital videorecorder"-PC.
But with the lack of resonable Linux driver support this won't happen anyway.
As I don't have an Apple, the usual "I'm a stupid guy who uses Windows and Linux"-disclaimer applies. But I may have something interesting for you: VNC-OSX
Don't know, if it works, if it's ready for prime time, etc. You know, I'm a stupid guy with a stupid disclaimer...
and rfbproxy and not to forget the desktop sharing feature in the next KDE, which will be based on VNC as well. Don't know on top of which of the gazillions of versions of VNC the KDE team will build their solution.
VNC is already split into the original distribution from ORL (now RealVNC, TightVNC from Constantin & friends, eSVNC, which added security and file transfers (though win only) and a bunch of Pocket PC, Palm, MacOS, OS X etc. forks.
VNC is such a wonderful und useful program and I sometimes dream of how much better, securer and faster it could be.
Plaese combine your efforts. The world will thank you.
Look at PartDrake from Mandrake -- Good tool, noone but Mandrake uses it. Look at HardDrake from Mandrake --> Good hardware detection (one of the main problems for Linux), noone but Mandrake supports it. Look at apt4rpm --> wonderful stuff from Connectiva, noone but Connectiva uses it.
This is a real shame.
But the thing I miss most: Something as userfriendly as Mandrake based on.deb.

Check it out at POPFile Homepage. It's worth it!

You need a self cleaning toilet? Look here.
I'm sure that there will be many more examples of this great technology in the next months.

Can you use a ultra-cool Zaurus as a remote control a la the Sony Clie oder other Palm based organizers?
Any hints?
Bye egghat
Can somebody with access to the ACM library could check this and if parent is appropriate, mod him up?
That may be the prior art we're looking for.
I hate software patents and I hate MS.
Bye egghat.
Dito.
Always remember that Mozilla is NOT targeted at end users!
That's what Beonix and now Phoenix are for.
bye egghat.
Stupid and off-topic question, but I have to ask:
Is this feature (automatic session saving and restarting a la Opera) in Mozilla somewhere?
TIA

Hey,
...
now their name *Red*Hat even makes sense

What a big strategic fault of Palm.
Perhaps because Lindows is built upon a bunch of GPL programms (Linux, KDE, etc.) and hasn't released the source for their modifications.
That's not what I would call "Play fair with the GPL".
Bye egghat.
Good idea!
Hmmm,
for me they aren't laggy.

As I've said before: YMMV.

God, how I love this.
Much better than gestures, at least for me as a trackball user.
Optimoz PieMenues.
But your mileage may vary.

Have you seen him? I mean HIM? The devil.
Not a single comment. Puuh.

Wow, didn't know that Slashdot had Microsoft ads back then ;-)
BTW.: Happy Birthday! I really enjoy this thingie.

Interesting.
What can one do about it? Use blackdown's JVM for example?
TIA for your answers.
Bye egghat.
Ooops. 92 postings, excellent karma and all this with a typo in my sig. How could this happen ;-)?

Perhaps everybody thought that a typo in "inconsistent" was kind of a strange joke

hey, I'm German, plz bear with me ...
I have to agree wholeheartly.
