"The more spam you get the less you read" is what somebody told me at a recent user group meeting.
The trick is to train the spamfilter against the spamtrap addrs so that when they hit the good addrs the spamfilter knows they're spam.

The article admits that they didn't follow the training guidelines for CRM114. Its HOWTO and FAQ clearly indicate that training of the type used in the Shootout decreases accuracy significantly. I followed the author's recommendations carefully (having found his rationale for them very rational) and have had very good results.
One thing I really like about SA is how they are very careful to make sure their error rate is on the right side. It's better to let some spam get though than to mark good mail as spam.
My ISP implemented postini the other day and it had collected 30000 messages before I realized that it was blocking my Mexican cousin's email- his trip to visit was almost fubar'd.
And the only way to get the messages back was via frickin scroll, click click several hundred times. (Or open the ssl client scripting can of worms)
I've got Xandros 1.0 and I use packages from debian sarge and sid all the time. I just make sure I always do an apt-get -s (simulate) before a real apt-get to make sure I'm not replacing something I don't want to replace. But that's a good idea anyway.
Of course they can't log every byte. But The Government puts a box on the network that they control. The box can packet-filter mail by Persons Of Interest regexs, http headers for Sites of Interest, etc. Easy.
Actually, I don't know if the box that does the encoder is Linux (I don't read Japanese) but the Zaurus sure is. And
this box
supposedly encodes the mpegs onto compactflash cards or sd cards or ibm microdrives that you can
view on the Z. It's from the same manufacturer,
so chances are it works.
If you don't want to wait for the US model, "kenwinning" is
selling them on ebay (now that I can read!).
I've successully played video clips (I showed everyone at my way-too-long-running project South Park's Orientation to Hell. 'That would be "The Mormons." The correct answer is "The Mormons".) but battery life is horrendous. (You could hack some together an external battery pack out of a Walmart flashlight, a USB extension cable, and a USB power adapter like I did, I suppose.)
Well, I guess the encoder really is a TiVo-like black box, but the media is portable and encoded
into a form that would work on a Linux laptop or desktop just as well as a Z. That's the cool part, me thinks.
If any of you buy one, let me know how it works out;)
... made from big ol' stepper motors salvaged from an pair of 5MB (if I recall correctly) removable hard drives that each were bigger than your typical tower box today. The hard drive cabinet was the size of a refrigerator.
Tape reels for wheels and darlingtons for power (one amp at 5V per coil, up to two coils active per motor at a time).
Motors bolted together back to back with shorter bolts at top and longer bolts at bottom, so axles are slanted and center of gravity is below center of wheels (and thus balances on two wheels, tho it rocks back and forth a bit when it starts or stops).
Programmed (in Forth of course) to do a series of military maneuver farces.
Had to build my own parallel port when I first built it, but a PC-clone port works fine. (Original machine was a Sanyo Z80 CP/M box with ribbon cable for a bus: I stuck a Z80-PIO on it).
The thing was so goofy/hilarious I entered it into the annual student art show/contest and had it on display for a couple weeks. I used to love to sit in the lounge and see people come around the corner and confront it. They would walk in when it was pausing between performances and jump two feet in the air a couple of minutes later when it started to wave its flag like a maniac, turn in place, and do zig zags. Poor art-lovers didn't know what to think.

Well, they have been growing lately, and the intelligence of
a group is well known to be in inverse proportion to its
size.
The statistical evidence (U of Pa., U of Calif.) indicates that there's something very funny going on. The academics who are often quoted by media "debunking" the concerns (the CalTech/MIT group) have apparently admitted that the data they relied on was faulty.
Anyone with a conscience and a brain should be fighting voter fraud, regardless of political affiliation.

So is a wallawalla the one who does the one who does?
