My ISP runs a tweaked up version of SpamAssasin to great effect.
I get a bunch of X-Spam fields tacked on to each email that evaluate its 'spamosity' For instance:
X-Spam-Report: 28.5 hits, 6 required; * 1.0 -- Subject contains lots of white space * 4.0 -- Invalid Date: header (timezone does not exist) * 2.8 -- BODY: Uses a dotted-decimal IP address in URL * 1.2 -- BODY: Tells you how to stop further SPAM * 3.2 -- BODY: URL of page called "remove" * 1.3 -- BODY: "if you do not wish to receive any more" * -2.0 -- BODY: Contains a claim of copyright * 4.2 -- BODY: Asks you to click below * 2.0 -- BODY: Link to a URL containing "unsubscribe" * 1.1 -- BODY: Saved web page * 2.0 -- BODY: Image tag with an ID code to identify you * 1.6 -- BODY: Link to a URL containing "remove" * 2.0 -- Received via a relay in relays.osirusoft.com [RBL check: found 254.1.233.63.relays.osirusoft.com.] * 2.0 -- Received via a relay in relays.ordb.org [RBL check: found 2.48.70.194.relays.ordb.org.] * 2.1 -- Subject contains a unique ID number
I still think that counts as 'hard-wired'. A newborn is really an extremely rudimentary creature, if you've ever had a baby you probably know. The real question is whether a baby who spent his 'first 9 months' in freefall would react the same way..
of course, if you'd read the article you might have noticed this:
For instance, says McIntyre, if you place an infant safely on a glass table where he or she can see the floor below, the baby will become fearful. He's not falling, yet he expects to fall -- without any prior experience of falling. "It doesn't take much to elicit this response," he added. "It seems like a very robust, common effect that we expect a downward acceleration."

There's been "omlette" MREs for years, too. I would never eat one, but they're there. Too bad they got rid of the dehydrated pork patty - now _that_ was nasty.
Well, I had tolerated Katz's articles, thinking all of his detractors to be just a bit unfair in their quick pouncing on anything he writes. Now he says "dont miss" the most unfunny, juvenille piece of tripe I've ever read.
I don't think this Beckerman knucklehead's 'alternative views' have been surpressed by the Iron Fist of the ruling right wing media(? uhh. ok jon.), I think he's just a jackass. I wouldn't hire him to pump my gas, why would I hire him to write for my paper?
Welcome to my 'Exclude Stories from the Homepage', Jon.
Well, yeah, just like any projectile larger than a standard rifle round is not supposed to be used against personnel. But like my Drill sergeant always said, 'Aim for their belt.'
and, of course, you're going to get an offtopic moderation for daring to post a 'who modded this down?'
I gave up on the whole moderation thing when they took away my metamoderation (and presumably moderation) abilities after I modded "The Post"
They're a bunch of self-important nancyboys who have no reason to fix a system that encourages their sycophantic followers to maintain their twisted status quo.
"Think about it mang. If he had posted it on his own private website, it would have been cowardly. But Slashdot has a hojillion readers; this'd be like taking her to Times Square and having "WILL YOU MARRY ME" scroll across the giant tickers. "
Yeah, but it's like gathering all of your friend and family around , asking her, and then everybody looks at her like a bug on a plate. If she says no in front of all those people, she makes a fool out of you. If she likes you enough to not want to make a fool of you in front of all your friends, but otherwise doesn't like you enough to marry you, what's she going to say? Putting her on the spot like that is cowardly.
I asked my wife to marry me in private, where she had ample opportunity to say no without hurting anyone's feelings but mine.
Integral to the mathematics of the RC5 algorithm are 32-bit rotate operations.
For whatever reason, the designers of the IA32 (32bit Intel x86) and the PowerPC architectures decided to implement the rotate function as a hardware instruction.
Many other CPUs do not have built-in hardware rotate instructions and must emulate the operation by (at the very least) two shifts and a logical OR. This handicap is why many non-32bit-Intel [1] and non-PowerPC computers run RC5 slower than one might expect based on real-world benchmarks. It is also the main reason why the RC5 client is a poor benchmark to use in determining the speed or performance of a particular CPU.
[1] The IA32 architecture is that used by the Intel 80386, 80486, Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III and Pentium 4 processors. The Pentium 4 does not however have a hardware rotate instruction.
Buy lots of these cds, open them, and return them. I'll bet that after enough hassle, the retailers (who are the label's real customers) will stop buying defective product.
Thanks, you've answered my question. My local cable 'fabulous digital-quality music' channels are utterly unlistenable, I figured this would be the same.
expensive, on the order of $500/gallon. I saw a thing where some guys immersed a celeron 500 in a flourinert bath intercooled with liquid nitrogen, clocked it up to like 1.2 gHz, but they got the wrong spec flourinert, and it gelled on them. My wife works at 3M, I keep bugging her to gank a couple of gallons for me so I can try it;)
That's the machine queueing up your call before passing it on to a drone. They anticipate that it'll take you 3 or 4 rings to answer and shave a few seconds off the total time that a human spends with the call. The problem with hanging up is that you just get pushed back into the list and you'll get the same call 24 hours later. I once got the dead-air call every day for a week at 8:03 pm, until I finally held on long enough to get the actual person on the line.
I've thought about the 'charging for my time' idea too. I think it'd go something like: "Hey, it sounds like a great product you've got, I'd like to hear more, but first I'll need to get your billing information. Do you already have an account with me?"

I can't imagine the point of doing this.

I can't imagine the point of doing this. Cramming a GBA into an original gameboy might be amusing. That handheld 2600 is cool.
This, on the other hand, is like saying "well, with a lot of effort and some patience with the dremel, I put the motherboard from this Dell into this Compaq case. excuse the big holes and stuff, I'm not really that good at this."

uh, ok. $1 a piece for a .1 watt bulb. sounds great. Exactly how many would I have to gang to be able to read my newspaper?

Ummm.. AT&T is my cable provider. The only one I have to choose from, of course.

but the real benefit of this research is insight into very powerful propulsion systems. No?
Not until we find a good source of dilithium crystals to control the reaction in the warp core.

P4 lacks a certain shift instruction in hardware, it's emulated, and it's the biggest part of the rc5 algorithm.
