They generally do mean that it will be complicated to do they simple daily jobs involving point and click and are generally terrified by any configuration or material even on Windows.
You have no idea how many people ask the technician to install/configure the material for them when they buy it.
In fact the goal of heuristic scanning is making people think "ooooh !!! This is great ! It will catch even unknown viruses !!!" It doesn't have to be good. It just have to exist. Pure PR.
Well... They talked about it *years* ago, I don't know if the news you heard is fresh. Orson talk about it in his book Characters and Viewpoint (c) 1988
They wanted to make Ender to be 16 at the start of the story.

Don't whine, install Linux. It can even co-exist with Windows if you want.
10 times more effective than a human hired to filter the mails. They talked about a secretary on the website.
I admit that the ten time is suspiction. The effectiveness of a human at doing this task depend on how much he/she have to filter and how many time he/she have to do it.
I agree that we didn't reached a plateau yet.
Sure, the graphics are great but they could be better. Did you remember telling your friends "Man, this is so awesome ! It's 3D ! It's like if you were there !" when Wolfenstein 3D came out ?
Did you remember telling your friends "Beside the hands, I really wonder how they could do an RPG with better graphics." when Final Fantasy VII came out ?
We always have the impression the graphics couldn't be better until they get better.
We will not reach a plateau until we can't tell the difference between a picture from a movie and from a game.
If the public reward this, the industry isn't dying. If the public stop to reward me-too games, other things will be produced.
The industry will produce what sells.
The kind of people that like to walk at night and watch the stars will be offended by this kind of publicity and certainly won't buy the advertised product.
According to a Paul Graham paper, 15 people out of a million answer to spam.
Will we reach these 15 morons by publicity ? Will they understand the message...
Well... Maybe, we should not forget that they are stupid and will listen to anything publicity tells them to do even if it is in a spam.
It would probably be more effictive than can-spam.
I use popfile as a bayesian filter. My mails are classified into 12 categories (spam being one of them) and my accuracy rate is 98%.
Most of the time, the misclassifications aren't about mails being wrongly put in spam.
Bayesian classifications are *highly* effective.
And they also easilly spot mass mailed jokes and the various hoaxes that you got forwared all the time.
You can get popfile at this address : http://popfile.sourceforge.net/
If you use a pop3 server, it works no matter what mail software you use.
The PS2 won the war over X-Box. An interesting caracteristic it has was the compatibility with the PS1.
If the PS3 is compatible with the PS1 and PS2, it could help it win the war over XBox2.
Sure, Microsoft could make Xbox2 compatible with the Xbox but more people already have a PS2.
And beside compatibily matters, most people will stick with the company they were already buying from.
So I guess that Sony will truly win that war but I can't be sure until the platforms are out.

The server just have to give a token to the sender which must be presented 10 seconds later, if under 10 seconds, the mail won't be relayed.
This way, you don't have to have a recent computer to send mails.
It *will* cost you. You probably don't send millions of mails but certain companies does legitimately. Amazon.com for instance. If they have to pay millions of dollars to send confirmation mails to people to tell them they sent the item, they will pass the bill on customers.

Guess what ! It works on Linux too ! :-)
Well... At least with nautilus and gnome-terminal, I didn't bothered trying something else.
What is the maximum attachement size that you permit ?
Not if google can separate Spam from ham. There is a thread above on that topic.
He stated that *Canada* is a much better place to live. And I agree.

Switch to Mozilla or Thunderbird then.

It's no more magic than for humans understanding irony. And I would be surprised that computer are likely to learn it in a near future.

They made a profit on what they sold and she wasn't able to get back.
If someone do have a stack of credit cards, he/she is better pay off his/her debts before buying a 200$ gadget.
*Theorically*, nobody can use your card once you lost it. But you still have lost 200$.
Isn't that too complicated for nothing ? The server just have to keep you waiting 10 sec. than let the message pass and then process the next one.

I suggest this excellent parody trailer of the Matrix called the Matrix XP : http://www.matrix-xp.com/ Nothing could fit more the situation ;-)
Maybe but seriously. Who may be interested to submit said patches ?
