We purchased a Matrox frame grabber card in.. 1990 I think. It took two ISA slots, and required us to cut a hole in the case above where it was to let all the heat out. It did single-frame grabbing with some processing ability at 1024x1024 pixels I believe. (this was not a display card).
That card was $17,000. And it was worth every penny for the application we used it for. The Matrox engineering group were spectacular to work with.
I use spampal. I love it. I don't use the bayesian feature of it, mainly because I don't have to. The DNSRBL's work just great for me. But that doesn't mean I don't appreciate it, it just makes a good product even better.
Keep your Quake, your Unreal Tournament, your Counter-Cheat. NETHACK IS THE BEST.
I have been playing nethack since 1992. It is without a doubt the most addictive fun you can have with a computer. If you have not played nethack, you must get nethack and at least give it a try. Forget what you knew about AI, become a slave to the ULTIMATE AI run by the RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR. www.nethack.org
I have been building the 1.3 from source routinely just to get access to the mozilla spam filter.
I have this to say about it
GET IT.
I trained it on a corpus of spam I've been keeping around for just such a purpose (about 300 messages, not a lot really). Since then I have been giving it minor corrections to tag new spam and it is nearly perfect. No false positives. The interface is easy to use.
If you use Mozilla now for Mail, you owe it to yourself to start using the 1.3a. If you're using something else, it's worth looking at Mozilla.
At a local mall once, as you entered the mall doors they were handing out ballots for a draw in the mall for some dinky prize (I don't remember what it was). I don't normally fill such things out, but I noted it needed your name and phone number. Sure enough, I flipped the 'ballot' over and it had on the back text detailing how by filling this out you were requesting to have your long distance service switched to some bunch of scumbags. Pretty devious, I thought.
Just because this is on Space.com doesn't mean it's legit. Who the hell are the "National Institute of Discovery Science" ? How are they different than any other crackpot group saying they see black helicopters? I don't believe a lick of this until (a) there are PICTURES not drawings and (b) the contractor tells me what the aircraft model is. I think this whole thing is a load of crap for cheap publicity on the part of "NIDS".
Because I think Apple would be better served by improving their own Office suite -- Appleworks. Not that I don't like Staroffice (or Openoffice.org). I would be concerned that if Apple "took over" development on Star/Openoffice for OSX that
Apple would merge and have only "one" suite - which would be Appleworks + Staroffice as a blend. This would translate into less choice, not more for the OSX user.
If Apple took it over, I forsee that 99.9% of the development would be by Apple itself. Yes Apple gives back to the community, but then the Star/Openoffice.org group would see that as a chance to slack off. What OSX needs more than Apple working on things is *other people* working on things. Diversity breeds innnovation. Apple is good, but they shouldn't have to do everything.
Appleworks has come ("free") with every iBook/G4 Powermac I've bought at our company since OSX 10.1 came out. It's default loaded in the dock even. That's the best exposure any Mac office suite can get.
I have the exact same problem. Company has a fridge. I bring in soda (theoretically for myself) and everyone will take it.
I have an "honor cup" setup so people who feel guilty can actually pay for a can. I get about fifty cents worth of pennies every six months or so.
I started out by bringing in a few cans and putting them in the fridge, only to find they'd all be gone. The way I've 'solved' the problem is to flood the market. At any one time I have three cases of soda in the fridge. It's been my experience that the losers can't take it all, and at least I can have one when I want it. The only small point is I have to open (tear the end flap) off the case when I put it in, or I find the cases will wholesale disappear (easier to carry off if the cans don't all fall out).
At my previous job we had no fridge, I'd keep them in a small (6-can) cooler under my desk. For interest's sake, that didn't work either. If people will steal from a cooler under your desk there pretty much isn't anything that will stop them.
They sit the two guys down in the office with the boss. The boss says (paraphrasing) "This is hurting morale, so we need to make a decision. Neil gets out first, that's it, end of story. Get your assses back to work".
Alright, so it wasn't exactly like that, but I still thought it was effective. More decisions should be made like that.
And you wonder why people hate Linux Supporters

You go through all the trouble to develop, design, construct, and market a box that does something damned useful, and then a snot-nosed 14-year old who can't program other than running a vbs worm starts calling your tech support demanding your "GPL" code.
Tip: Not everything is GPL. They don't have to give you jack shit if they wrote it and it's not under the GPL.
Tip: You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. Don't call their tech support and rag on them, you write them a nice letter on paper and request it, mentioning their 'oversight'.
Denise Crosby discussed with executive producer Rick Berman the possibility of using her Star Trek: The Next Generation character Sela in the film, but they could not work out a way to properly fit the character into the movie.
Fuck, when has that ever stopped them before? Think "Voyager"
It's their perogative not to pick a winner if they don't like them. After all, knowing this world 104 of them were of the goatse guy, 1 was the exisiting freebsd daemon with "I made this myself" in the email, and 1 of tux. I'd leave things open if that happened too.
Does he not think the reason nobody buys his albums anymore is because they don't have to -- they just need to turn on the tv and wait for an ad break? I feel so sad for him and his millions of dollars.
From looking at the article, they have $7.9m in assets, and $101m in debt. The "biggest" single owing was to their lawyer, which was $2.1m. So they owe nearly $99m to a slew of people, all of which are less than $2.1m apiece. Sounds to me like they shopped suppliers until they got cut off, then moved on to another person to ripoff.
I get the impression is the entire procedure is designed to jettison the debt, so they don't have to pay it, but Bert gets to keep their assets (WHAT assets?).
I've been a big fan of the X-files for years, and I feel cheated by that last episode. I feel manipulated having watched this entire season, thinking they were going to make something of themselves. Instead all we got was THE BRADY BUNCH EPISODE. Burt Reynolds should have shown up at the end to slap everyone silly.
In the 80's I got a tape drive from a two-letter company. Shipped with the tape drive was... a q-tip. Not just any q-tip, a single q-tip in it's own sealed bag with not one but two part numbers (the internal part number, and the external customer part number). Often I wanted to call and give the part number just to see what it would cost to reorder.
Considering that every link pops up one or two ad windows, every page is plastered with ads, the main page seems more of a promo for Symantec, and I really couldn't find much information, I think "web-mistakes.com" would be a better name for them.

But why would people want to develop software for Symbian now that there is Maemo?
Maemo's been out for years (N700, N800, N810, N810WIMAX) and nobody decided to develop anything of worth for it yet, why would they start now?
Is there no quicktime feed for the Keynote broadcast this time?

and yes, spampal is FREE.

I'm sure Bender would very much appreciate your 18000 euros, then say "kiss my shiny metal ass!"
Which of those make this a "high end" portable? Hell, you can get iBooks with better specs than that. It must be the price that makes it 'high-end'.
