  1. Re:what we have lost on The Many Paths To Data Corruption · · Score: 1

    Actually even today, a mainframe running OS390 and CICS still has problems with disk corruption. If a machine crash or power outage happens when a file is being extended via a CA split, the only way to recover the file is from backup and then forward applying the CICS journals.

  2. Great, I traded a gaming addiction... on The Science of Game Addiction · · Score: 1

    ... for a chat with a therapist addiction.

    The article links to http://www.netaddiction.com/clinic.htm which charges $95 an hour to councel you in a chat room about your addictive behaviour. Talk about cultivating a prime target audience.

  3. Re:Impossible. on Consumer Electronics Companies Plan Common DRM Standard · · Score: 1

    Yes, but in those days, people copied CD's on to metal tapes to play them in their cars (or atleast I did). In the same way, people will want to make copies of the new format (even in lesser quality) so that the use is more flexible. Heck they even do it today with DVD's -> DivX.

  4. My ratio on CAN-SPAM One Year Later? · · Score: 1

    One of the many duties I hold at my company is managing the email flow.

    We receive between 60k-80k messages a day into our company and of that, about 90% is spam.

    I have found the people who get most of the spam are those who have their addresses in other people's address books. I think that spammers get lists of emails gathered by viruses that collect address books.

    Of course my boss is the worst because his email is set up as the billing email for all of our domains. The benefit of this is I have a great control subject for my home grown spam solution. I can tell when it is working well by how much spam gets through to him. He gets about 1000 spam messages a day.

  5. Re:What I would like to see on Bayesian Tail · · Score: 4, Informative

    I currently use CRM114 and on the mailing list, some one (Evan Prodromou) has created a program that does just this using the CRM114 language. It is called "Monkeyplexer" based on the idea that you could train a monkey to sort your mail box into folders.

    If you pop over to the CRM114 site and search the general list archives for monkeyplexer to find the discussions about it.

    Here is the last version announcement that I could find in my mailbox:

    monkeyplexer is a tool for automatically sorting incoming email messages into appropriate folders. A new version of monkeyplexer, 0.7, is now available. http://bad.dynu.ca/~evan/monkeyplexer/monkeyplexer -0.7.tar.gz

    This version includes the following changes:
    You can specify which mailboxes to use, instead of which mailboxes to exclude. This can save some typing and some time at runtime, at the expense of dynamically updating the list. You can tell the monkeytrainer to only train messages that were received in the last few weeks, days, hours, minutes -- whatever. The monkeyplexer remembers which messages have been trained for which folders. If you train a message for a different folder, the monkeyplexer will automatically forget the first folder before training for the new one. Thanks to everyone who has installed monkeyplexer already. I hope this new version helps some people out. I find it easier and more accurate.
