[zzzzteana] Moscow bomber Man Threatens Explosion In Moscow Thursday August 22, 2002 1:40 PM MOSCOW (AP) - Security officers on Thursday seized an unidentified man who said he was armed with explosives and threatened to blow up his truck in front of Russia's Federal Security Services headquarters in Moscow, NTV television reported. The officers seized an automatic rifle the man was carrying, then the man got out of the truck and was taken into custody, NTV said. No other details were immediately available. The man had demanded talks with high government officials, the Interfax and ITAR-Tass news agencies said. Ekho Moskvy radio reported that he wanted to talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Police and security forces rushed to the Security Service building, within blocks of the Kremlin, Red Square and the Bolshoi Ballet, and surrounded the man, who claimed to have one and a half tons of explosives, the news agencies said. Negotiations continued for about one and a half hours outside the building, ITAR-Tass and Interfax reported, citing witnesses. The man later drove away from the building, under police escort, and drove to a street near Moscow's Olympic Penta Hotel, where authorities held further negotiations with him, the Moscow police press service said. The move appeared to be an attempt by security services to get him to a more secure location. ------------------------ Yahoo!

[IRR] Klez: The Virus That Won't Die Klez: The Virus That Won't Die Already the most prolific virus ever, Klez continues to wreak havoc. Andrew Brandt >>From the September 2002 issue of PC World magazine Posted Thursday, August 01, 2002 The Klez worm is approaching its seventh month of wriggling across the Web, making it one of the most persistent viruses ever. And experts warn that it may be a harbinger of new viruses that use a combination of pernicious approaches to go from PC to PC. Antivirus software makers Symantec and McAfee both report more than 2000 new infections daily, with no sign of letup at press time. The British security firm MessageLabs estimates that 1 in every 300 e-mail messages holds a variation of the Klez virus, and says that Klez has already surpassed last summer's SirCam as the most prolific virus ever. And some newer Klez variants aren't merely nuisances--they can carry other viruses in them that corrupt your data. ... http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,103259,00.asp _______________________________________________ Irregulars mailing list [email protected] http://tb.tf/mailman/listinfo/irregulars

[zzzzteana] Playboy wants to go out with a bang The Scotsman - 22 August 2002 Playboy wants to go out with a bang AN AGEING Berlin playboy has come up with an unusual offer to lure women into his bed - by promising the last woman he sleeps with an inheritance of 250,000 (�160,000). Rolf Eden, 72, a Berlin disco owner famous for his countless sex partners, said he could imagine no better way to die than in the arms of an attractive young woman - preferably under 30. "I put it all in my last will and testament - the last woman who sleeps with me gets all the money," Mr Eden told Bild newspaper. "I want to pass away in the most beautiful moment of my life. First a lot of fun with a beautiful woman, then wild sex, a final orgasm - and it will all end with a heart attack and then I�m gone." Mr Eden, who is selling his nightclub this year, said applications should be sent in quickly because of his age. "It could end very soon," he said. ------------------------ Yahoo!

[zzzzteana] Meaningful sentences The Scotsman Thu 22 Aug 2002 Meaningful sentences Tracey Lawson If you ever wanted to look like "one of the most dangerous inmates in prison history", as one judge described Charles Bronson, now�s your chance. Bronson - the serial hostage taker, not the movie star - has written a health and fitness guide in which he shares some of the secrets behind his legendary muscle power. Solitary Fitness - a title which bears testament to the fact that Bronson, 48, has spent 24 of his 28 prison years in solitary confinement - explains how he has turned himself into a lean, mean, fitness machine while living 23 hours a day in a space just 12 feet by eight feet, on a diet of scrubs grub and at virtually no cost. The book is aimed at those who want to get fabulously fit without spending a fortune on gym memberships, protein supplements or designer trainers, and starts with a fierce attack on some of the expensive myths churned out by the exercise industry. "I pick up a fitness mag, I start to laugh and I wipe my arse with it," is the opening paragraph penned by Bronson. "It�s a joke and a big con and they call me a criminal!" You can�t help feeling he has a point. This is not the first book that Bronson has written from behind bars, having already published Birdman Opens His Mind, which features drawings and poems created by Bronson while in prison. And he is not the first prisoner to discover creative expression while residing at Her Majesty�s pleasure. Jimmy Boyle, the Scots sculptor and novelist, discovered his artistic talents when he was sent to Barlinnie Prison�s famous special unit, which aimed to help inmates put their violent pasts behind them by teaching them how to express their emotions artistically. Boyle was sentenced to life for the murder of "Babs" Rooney in 1967. Once released, he moved to Edinburgh where he has become a respected artist. His first novel, Hero of the Underworld, was published in 1999 and his autobiography, A Sense of Freedom, was made into an award-winning film. Hugh Collins was jailed for life in 1977 for the murder of William Mooney in Glasgow, and in his first year in Barlinnie prison stabbed three prison officers, earning him an extra seven-year sentence. But, after being transferred to the same unit that Boyle attended, he learned to sculpt and developed an interest in art. He later published Autobiography of a Murderer, a frank account of Glasgow�s criminal culture in the 1960s, which received critical praise. And Lord Archer doesn�t seem to have had trouble continuing to write the books that have made him millions while in jail. He recently signed a three-book deal with Macmillan publishers worth a reported �10 million, and is no doubt scribbling away as we speak. So why is it that men like Collins, Bronson and Boyle, who can be so destructive towards society on the outside, can become so creative once stuck on the inside? Steve Richards, Bronson�s publisher, has published many books about criminal figures and believes the roots of this phenomenon are both pragmatic and profound. He says: "Prison is sometimes the first time some criminals will ever have known a stable environment, and this can be the first time they have the chance to focus on their creative skills. "It may also be the first time that they have really had the chance of an education, if their early years have been hard. It could be the first time anyone has offered them the chance to explore their creative talents." However, Richards believes the reasons are also deeper than that. He says: "Once they are behind bars, the cold light of day hits them, and they examine the very essence of who they are. "They ask themselves, am I a man who wants to be remembered for violence? Or am I a man who can contribute to society, who can be remembered for something good?" Bronson - who was born Michael Gordon Peterson, but changed his name to that of the Hollywood star of the Death Wish films - has, so far, been remembered mainly for things bad. He was originally jailed for seven years for armed robbery in 1974, and has had a series of sentences added to his original term over the years as a result of attacking people in prison. In 2000 he was jailed for life after being convicted of holding a teacher hostage for nearly two days during a jail siege. Standing five feet ten and a half inches tall and weighing 210lbs, he is renowned for his strength. He has bent metal cell doors with his bare hands and does up to 3,000 - yes, 3,000 - press-ups a day. As he puts it: "I can hit a man 20 times in four seconds, I can push 132 press ups in 60 seconds." But judging by our current obsession with health and exercise, Solitary Fitness might be the book which will see Bronson�s face sitting on every coffee table in the land. He might be the man to give us the dream body which so many so-called fitness gurus promise but fail to motivate us into. Because Bronson has learned to use words as powerfully as he can use his fists. "All this crap about high-protein drinks, pills, diets, it�s just a load of bollocks and a multi-million-pound racket," he writes, in what can only be described as a refreshingly honest style. "We can all be fat lazy bastards, it�s our choice, I�m sick of hearing and reading about excuses, if you stuff your face with shit you become shit, that�s logical to me." As motivational mantras go, that might be just the kick up the, er, backside we all needed. Solitary Fitness by Charles Bronson is published by Mirage Publishing and will be available in bookstores from October at �7.99 ------------------------ Yahoo!

Looney mentioned: > This is likely because to get it to boot, like the cobalt, I'm actually > passing root=/dev/hda5 to the kernel, not /dev/md0. Just to solve this...the reason I was booting the box with root=/dev/hda5, not /dev/md0 was because /dev/md0 wasn't booting - it would barf with 'can't find init'. It turns out that this is because I was populating md0 with tar. Which seems to have 'issues' with crosslinked files - for instance, it was trying to make a hard link of glibc.so to hda - and failing. It was only as I did it again with a friend present, that he spotted the errors, and queried them. We noticed that the hard linked files just didn't exist on the new rootfs. When we duplicated the filesystems with dump instead of tar, it worked fine, I was able to tell lilo to use root=/dev/md0 and everything worked. Woohoo.

The case for spam SpamAssassin is hurting democracy! Owen --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.bayarea.com/mld/mercurynews/news/opinion/3900215.htm Internet can level the political playing field By Mike McCurry and Larry Purpuro NOT many months from now, people across the country will experience one of the great recurring features of American democracy. At shopping malls, on factory floors, at church socials and even on our front stoops, we will be approached by individuals who want to represent us in public office. While chances are high that we won't know them personally, they will walk up to us, offer a handshake and a flier and ask for our votes. Just as technology is affecting every other area of communication, it has begun to affect the way political candidates communicate with voters. In this year's GOP gubernatorial primary, California Secretary of State Bill Jones, who faced better-funded candidates, acquired the e-mail addresses of more than a million potential California voters and sent each an unsolicited e-mail asking for support. That day, he might have chosen any of the more traditional -- and more expensive -- methods of contacting voters, such as direct mail, radio spots or TV ads. But he spent only about 2 cents per message, instead of 35 cents or more per message for direct mail or in another medium. Had Jones chosen direct mail, radio or TV, that communication would have been equally ``unsolicited,'' as defined in the e-mail world. Few voters would have ``opted in'' to receive campaign information from Jones through any of those channels. The response to Jones' e-mail effort, however, was swift and intense. He was lambasted by anti-spam advocates, and media coverage was almost entirely negative. To be fair, some of Jones' tactics could have been refined. He used a less-than-perfect list and no standard-practice ``paid for'' disclaimer in the message. His detractors, however, attacked him not for his tactical miscues but because the e-mail was sent unsolicited. In fact, Jones' online campaign may have been his most visible asset. In an era of cynicism toward money in politics -- money typically spent on other unsolicited communication mediums -- Jones tried to level the playing field. No one likes commercial spam. It is irrelevant and untargeted and can be highly intrusive and even offensive. But as a sophisticated society, it's time to differentiate commercial spam from very different unsolicited e-mail sent by political candidates to voters. The debate is particularly relevant in light of legislation in Congress that would constitute the first federal law to directly address spam. We believe e-mail is no more intrusive than direct mail, telemarketing or TV advertising when it comes to politicians seeking to reach voters. A simple link in good e-mail campaigns allows recipients to opt out of future mailings. Direct mail takes at least a phone call or stamp to be taken off a list, and viewers must repeatedly endure TV ads. When a candidate lacks a large campaign war chest, he or she can use the Internet to provide constituents with information to better prepare them to perform their civic duty of casting educated votes. With more than 60 percent of all potential voters in this country possessing e-mail accounts, it makes sense that political candidates use this medium. Candidates might avoid some of the tactical problems encountered by the Jones campaign if they use the technologies available today that better ensure quality of e-mail lists and target content to specific recipient groups. But the broader point remains. When a political candidate sends a voter an e-mail, that recipient can choose to delete the message without opening it, unsubscribe from the list, read it or even reply and engage the sender. That choice should belong to the voter -- not to anti-spam advocates whose efforts are better focused on commercial e-mail. Political candidates should be free to communicate with voters as best they can, and let voters decide what to do with that information. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike McCurry, former press secretary for President Clinton, is CEO of an advocacy management and communications software company.

Re: [ILUG] Sun Solaris.. On Thu, Aug 22, 2002 at 05:13:01PM +0100, Fergal Moran mentioned: > In a nutshell - Solaris is Suns own flavour of UNIX. Though I'm sure that this nice person would like a bit more detail. Solaris is quite different to Linux, though these days you can make solaris act a lot like linux with an extra CD of GNU tools Sun ship with solaris. It is based on the SysV unix family, so it's quite similar to other unixen like HPUX and SCO. Sun's hardware in general is more reliable, and a lot more expensive. One of the main bonuses you get by buying Sun is that you are getting your hardware and software from one company, so if you have a support contract, they have to fix it. They can't fob you off with 'that's a software problem, talk to the software vendor.' etc. If you are set on Linux, you most likely can do your own support. There is then a world of different hardware options. You can run Linux on Sparc, though some companies like RedHat don't maintain a sparc port anymore. You can also buy your machine from linux-oriented companies like DNUK, who do machines designed to run linux, and their own version of linux, that has a few extras for their machines. Or, you can get a machine from a cheaper company like Dell, and it'll most likely work, most of the time.

RE: The Curse of India's Socialism > You have multiple generations of > peasants/squatters that cultivate and live on the lands almost as a > human parts of the property package. When I'd read that "getting legal title can take 20 years", when I believe that 1 year ought to be more than sufficient, (and helped by the Cairo reference) I'd assumed that we were talking about the urban poor. If I see people living in mansions, or even in suburban subdivisions, I assume they didn't have too much trouble with their titles. If I see people living in shanties and haphazard alleyways, I tend to assume their parcels weren't exactly recorded on the government maps, or paid for with a bank loan, especially when nearby vacant lots have shotgun wielding men presumably intent on keeping them "development" free. Now, it may be that "Manhattanites' view of America" to say that outside of Metro Manila, Davao, and maybe another city or two (Cebu?), everything else (literally) is the boondocks. But going on that very broad assumption, I guess I'm describing the flip side of Mr. Roger's experience: the paisanos (who leave behind those who remain on a patron's rural land) move to Manila, and (the second assumption) squat in shantytowns there, at least until they can line up a middle-class job. So, going on two large assumptions, I can come up with a scenario under which title would take 20 years: a shantytown arises somewhere in the midst of a section (or whatever the Spanish used to divvy up the land) and it takes decades of arguing to put together a package which somehow can both compensate the owner and record lots for the inhabitants. Just transferring title to an existing lot, between parties who have money, ought not to be a problem. The obvious solution, at least to us barking farting chihuahuas on FoRK, is to "introduce market mechanisms". It is left as an exercise to come up with one which works when many of the agents (are perceived to) have negligible NPV. -Dave > [land reform] meant that all the agricultural producers had > to plant crops all the time (profitable or not) ...

[ILUG] Newbie seeks advice - Suse 7.2 Folks, my first time posting - have a bit of Unix experience, but am new to Linux. Just got a new PC at home - Dell box with Windows XP. Added a second hard disk for Linux. Partitioned the disk and have installed Suse 7.2 from CD, which went fine except it didn't pick up my monitor. I have a Dell branded E151FPp 15" LCD flat panel monitor and a nVidia GeForce4 Ti4200 video card, both of which are probably too new to feature in Suse's default set. I downloaded a driver from the nVidia website and installed it using RPM. Then I ran Sax2 (as was recommended in some postings I found on the net), but it still doesn't feature my video card in the available list. What next? Another problem. I have a Dell branded keyboard and if I hit Caps-Lock twice, the whole machine crashes (in Linux, not Windows) - even the on/off switch is inactive, leaving me to reach for the power cable instead. If anyone can help me in any way with these probs., I'd be really grateful - I've searched the 'net but have run out of ideas. Or should I be going for a different version of Linux such as RedHat?

Entrepreneurs An apparent quote from Dubya, from the Times (sent to me by my Dad): http://www.timesonline.co.uk/printFriendly/0,,1-43-351083,00.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TONY BLAIR's special relationship with George W. Bush is under considerable strain. Not only do the two disagree on Yassir Arafat's tenure as leader of the Palestinian Authority, but Blair has started telling disparaging anecdotes about the President.

Bush proclaimed, "The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur." Origins: Yet another French fried "George W. Bush is dumb" story has been taken up by those who like their caricatures drawn in stark, bold lines. According to scuttlebutt that emerged in the British press in July 2002, President Bush, Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair, and France's President Jacques Chirac were discussing economics and, in particular, the decline of the French economy. "The problem with the French," Bush afterwards confided in Blair, "is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur." The source was Shirley Williams, also known as the Baroness Williams of Crosby, who claimed "my good friend Tony Blair" had recently regaled her with this anecdote in Brighton. Lloyd Grove of The Washington Post was unable to reach Baroness Williams to gain her confirmation of the tale, but he did receive a call from Alastair Campbell, Blair's director of communications and strategy. "I can tell you that the prime minister never heard George Bush say that, and he certainly never told Shirley Williams that President Bush did say it," Campbell told The Post. "If she put this in a speech, it must have been a joke." This is far from the first time Bush has been made the butt of a jibe meant to showcase what some perceive as his less than stellar intellectual abilities. Without straining our memories too hard, we can come up with three other instances we've chronicled on this site. In the summer of 2001, the joke of the moment centered upon a supposed study that had resulted in the ranking of Presidential IQs, with George W. Bush being pegged as the Chief Executive who scraped the bottom of the intelligence barrel. In December 2000 it was a fake Nostradamus quatrain which pontificated that the "village idiot" would win the 2000 Presidential election. And in the spring of 2002, it was the story of Bush's waving at Stevie Wonder that set folks to chortling up their sleeves. Stories that illustrate this widely believed intellectual shortcoming will always waft after George W. Bush because they seemingly confirm what many already hold as true about this public figure, that he's not the brightest fellow that's ever been. It is human nature to revel in yarns that the hearer at some level agrees with, thus tales of this sort will always fall upon appreciative ears.

If Habeas is going to die just because SA does not support it, that's a serious problem with the business model; but that is nobody's problem but Habeas's. A possible solution is for Habeas's business model to include some kind of incentive for users of SA to give it the benefit of the doubt. I have yet to think of an incentive that fits the bill ...

This is off the topic of the rest of this discussion, but amavisd (in all its incarnations) and MIMEDefang and several other MTA plugins all reject at SMTP time messages that scores higher than some threshold (often 10). If some new release were to start scoring all spam no higher than 5.1, there'd better be _zero_ FPs, because all those filters would drop their thresholds to 5.

Habeas is priced way too high -- a factor of at least 20 over what the market will bear, IMO -- on a per-message basis for most typical mailing lists (Lockergnome, say) to afford it.

If the Habeas mark actually becomes both widespread enough in non-spam, and effectively-enforced enough to be absent from spam, such that, e.g., SA could assign a positive score to messages that do NOT have it, then spammers are out of business and Habeas has no one to sue. There's nobody left to charge except the people who want (or are forced against their will because their mail won't get through otherwise) to use the mark. Conversely, if there are enough spammers forging the mark for Habeas to make all its income suing them, then the mark is useless for the purpose for which it was designed. Either way it seems to me that, after maybe a couple of lawsuits against real spammers and a lot of cease-and-desist letters to clueless Mom&Pops, then either (a) they're out of business, (b) they have to sell the rights to use the mark to increasingly questionable senders, or (c) they've both created and monopolized a market for "internet postage stamps" that everybody has to pay them for. The latter would be quite a coup if they [*] could pull it off -- they do absolutely nothing useful, unless you consider threatening people with lawsuits useful, yet still collect a fee either directly or indirectly from everyone on the internet -- effectively we'll be paying them for the privilege of policing their trademark for them. I don't believe they'll ever get that far, but I don't particularly want to help them make it. [*] And I use the term "they" loosely, because the whole company could consist of one lawyer if it really got to that point. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk

HTML would probably be the best format for use with Plucker/SiteScooper, depending on how good the DOC --> HTML conversion is. i haven't used either in over a year as AbiWord or OpenOffice work well enough. (prefer AbiWord for it's light-weight size, but OpenOffice has the better DOC importer.) don't know which of these are better or worse than the other, but i figure, "the more the merrier". ;-) > You could also try openoffice and/or abiword if you > have x installed. AbiWord supports exporting to PalmDoc (.pdb) which is about as PalmOS-friendly as you can get. never tried/needed it, but it's listed there in the "Save As" dialog box. Wine (or CrossOver Office, if you already have it) may support Word Viewer (free download from Microsoft), but didn't a year or so ago when i last tried. Word Viewer is what i used back in the day to convert Word 97 docs to Word 95, as you could display the Word 97 doc and copy & paste the text (with formatting) into Word 95, which was the only version of Word that i had. anyways, a little nostalgia. > > I don't have a Windows machine, so it becomes problematic to convert them; > > I know that if this were not the case, in Word I could save them as some > > other more friendly format. i have a windows (dual-boot) machine, but it only get used by my significant other and for burning multi-session cd-r/rw. (is there any linux gui app that supports cdrecord's multi-session feature?) since OpenOffice, i've been able to edit Word docs flawlessly (or at least the simple Word documents i receive from others). anyways... -- PLEASE REQUEST PERMISSION TO REDISTRIBUTE AUTHOR'S COMMENTS OR EMAIL ADDRESS. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?

[Ximian Updates] Hyperlink handling in Gaim allows arbitrary code to be executed Severity: Security Product: gaim Keywords: gaim hyperlink manual References: CAN-2002-0989 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-0989 Gaim Changelog http://gaim.sourceforge.net/ChangeLog Gaim is an instant messaging client based on the published TOC protocol from AOL. The developers of Gaim, an instant messenger client that combines several different networks, found a vulnerability in the hyperlink handling code. The 'Manual' browser command passes an untrusted string to the shell without escaping or reliable quoting, permitting an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the users machine. Unfortunately, Gaim doesn't display the hyperlink before the user clicks on it. Users who use other inbuilt browser commands aren't vulnerable. The fixed version of Gaim no longer passes the user's manual browser command to the shell. Commands which contain the %s in quotes will need to be amended, so they don't contain any quotes. The 'Manual' browser command can be edited in the 'General' pane of the 'Preferences' dialog, which can be accessed by clicking 'Options' from the login window, or 'Tools' and then 'Preferences' from the menu bar in the buddy list window. Please download Gaim 0.59.1 or later using Red Carpet. You may also obtain this update from the Ximian FTP site.

However, the additional information won't be required. The opinion could encourage the adoption of text-based political ads, as campaign experts look for new technological ways to sway voters. At the same time, opponents of the plan fear it could lead to anonymous political spam. Target Wireless, a small New Jersey-based wireless media company, had asked the FEC for an opinion on the matter, saying that requiring financial disclosures on short messaging service (SMS) mailings would use up too much of the 160 character-maximum. Political messages on bumper stickers and buttons are also exempt from the financial disclosure requirement. Target Wireless' petition was supported by the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association, and some advertising trade groups. FEC spokesman Bob Biersack said the opinion was in keeping with the commission's policy not to meddle with new technology that has the potential to reach more voters. "We have tried very hard not to get in the way--particularly before everyone understands how the technology is going to work," he said. Opponents of the plan have worried the exemption might encourage spam or allow senders to blast people with mass amounts of negative political messages while remaining anonymous. Biersack said the FEC can revisit the issue if those problems surface. Target Wireless President Craig Krueger characterized the opinion as "good for America." "It will allow people to receive more communication from those running for office," he said. "We have free speech on our side." --------------080808010909060409040405-- http://xent.com/mailman/listinfo/fork

If you visit a samizdat site you can get in trouble. If you get samizdat spam, the worst that can be said is that you might have read it. And as long as the mailers send to individuals who clearly didn't opt-in, like party officials, then other recipients can't get in trouble for requesting the mail.

GPL limits put to a test XviD [1] is a project to make GPL divx codecs. Sigma Designs [1] is a company looking to put out hardware to playback, amongst other things, divx files. Problem is Sigma is using XviDs gpled code in ways not very gpl. The results....XviD stops work on thier code and ask the users to put preasure on Sigma to honor the GPL. Some notes from other places.... >>From Doom9 [3] "XviD development has been stopped! The Sigma Designs REALMagic MPEG-4 Video Codec contains wide portions of code taken from the XviD project. Soon after the initial release of the REALMagic codec the XviD developers have contacted Sigma and informed them about the GPL violation (for those who don't know, XviD is distributed under the GNU Public License - GPL - which demands that if you modify a GPL program you have to release it under the GPL, which in this case means that the source code of the Sigma codec must be freely available). Sigma promised to replace the stolen code, but the new version of the codec which was released this month only disguises the stolen code, it was not actually removed. Sigma was once again contacted and asked to remove the offending code but until today nothing has happened. Therefore the XviD team is now turning to the public in the hope to receive wide public support in their efforts to convince Sigma Designs to respect the terms of the GPL. And until the matter has been resolved XviD development will not continue. That being said I hope all the forum members who saw their threads about the Sigma Codecs being closed will understand our motivation now. Internally we already knew what was going on but since the XviD authors first wanted to try and resolve this internally we respected their wishes and kept quiet about the matter at hand. [Update] Sigma has issued a press release announcing the availability of the source code of their MPEG-4 codec and it's already up for download. However, not a word was lost about the XviD issue and the press release makes one think that the Sigma codec was entirely developed by Sigma so we might be hearing more about this. [Update] I found a GPL notice in some of the source code files, but it also looks like Sigma placed their own copyright lines there and XviD doesn't get any credit in the source either. The GPL notice also collides with Sigma's Software Licensing Agreement that you have to sign before downloading codec or source. On on the same issue DivXNetworks said they'd fully support XviD in this issue and apparently DXn's relationship with Sigma didn't really work out either, as Sigma's Xcard is not as DivX compatible as it was advertised. [Update]First an update on the XviD situation. The release of the Sigma source code does not mean it's all over, it's far from being over. The license agreement which you have to agree to before you can download, and install the codec is not compatible with the GPL. Furthermore, it can now clearly be seen (download the source code and have a look for yourself) that the Sigma codec is pretty much a copy of the XviD codec, but all the copyright notices of the original developers have been removed and replaced. This does not only violate the GPL but copyright laws - you can't just take a program, change a few lines and change the copyright statements, you only have copyright protection for the parts you wrote on your own. And related to this the Sigma codec also contains code taken from the OpenDivX project, the files were outfitted with 2 different copyright notices which is quite funny."

The GOv gets tough on Net Users.....er Pirates.. from http://www.arstechnica.com/ "There has mostly been talk thus far and little action, but the Department of Justice says it may be ready to file criminal lawsuits against individuals [1] who distribute or receive unauthorized copyrighted material over the Internet. Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Malcolm believes that "criminal prosecutions of copyright offenders are now necessary to preserve the viability of America's content industries." Malcolm also believes that people who trade copyrighted material think they are participating in a legal activity. I certainly think people who download copyrighted works understand that such distribution--barring provisions such as fair use--is not authorized, and it is not surprising to see businesses continue to look for means to discourage distribution of copyrighted works. "Some prosecutions that make that clear could be very helpful...I think they would think twice if they thought there was a risk of criminal prosecution," said [RIAA President Cary] Sherman, who was on the same conference panel. I'm not too confident that lawsuits would have the effect Sherman is hoping for. Although infrequent, there have already been civil suits or warnings issued to private individuals, and they have served as minor deterrents to the file-sharing community at large. Criminal lawsuits carrying with them the possibility of prison sentences may generate further animosity against groups such as the RIAA and may be difficult to initiate because of the "schooling" effect of millions of systems participating in file sharing. Only servers would seem to stand out from the crowd. The article cites the No Electronic Theft (NET) Act [2], which defines illegal activity and maximum penalties for copyright infringement: Criminal infringement: Any person who infringes a copyright willfully for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain, or by the reproduction or distribution, including by electronic means, during any 180-day period, of 1 or more copies or phonorecords of 1 or more copyrighted works, which have a total retail value of more than $1,000.... For purposes of this subsection, evidence of reproduction or distribution of a copyrighted work, by itself, shall not be sufficient to establish willful infringement. ... The term "financial gain" includes receipt, or expectation of receipt, of anything of value, including the receipt of other copyrighted works. Therefore, receipt of a work of value would be defined as "financial gain" even if no money is involved. The NET Act excerpt does not clarify how the value of a work is determined; an album or movie could be worth only $15 to millions of dollars depending on whether the value is assessed from the perspective of the consumer or copyright holder. The statute of limitations: 507. Limitations on actions (a) Criminal Proceedings.--No criminal proceeding shall be maintained under the provisions of this title unless it is commenced within five years after the cause of action arose. (b) Civil Actions.--No civil action shall be maintained under the provisions of this title unless it is commenced within three years after the claim accrued. The penalties are too extensive to list here, but they can be found in Section 2319: Criminal infringement of a copyright. In general, first-time criminal offenses will carry a maximum prison sentence of 1 year. I'm still not sure where the DOJ would start in choosing people to prosecute because of the aforementioned "schooling" effect, but my guess would be that, just like speeding, primarily the most prominent individuals who operate large servers or transfer the most data will be targeted in order to discourage more recreational file sharers. Thanks to MonaLisaOverdrive for pointing out this story.

And yet STILL noone is out there creating _public domain_ content. Is there even one person out there can can even begin to talk without being a complete hypocrite? And no the "open source" people cant talk either, the GPL aint even close. I know I cant talk. If the creator didnt say you could have it without paying, it's theft, so simple, hell that's even in all the major holy books. Fair use needs to be clarified a bit and then I hope they start locking people up.

With static object allocation and a few other programming techniques, performance differences disappear, but C++ gives a boost in development and maintainability. The real issue is compiler availability. Almost every embedded platform has C cross-compilers. Many have C++ compilers. But there is still a range of platforms that have the first but not the second.

Agreed, not much difference there. With C it just doesnt seem as wrong to be crawling around in registers and things. Quite frankly you cant fit _that_ big of a project into a 32K ROM, so large project issues dont matter as much in the embedded world. And in the realtime space, or when you have data coming in at 2Gbit/sec [fibrechannel], every cycle DOES count. > The real issue is compiler availability.

E.g., I ported a wee 15000-line C program to Darwin on PowerPC in a few minutes yesterday. Sure if it was badly designed it would be 10 times the size and harder to port. If it depended on unavailable libraries it would be much harder. Portable code is easy to port.

[ILUG] VPN implementation I need to setup a VPN between a few sites. From what I've read, the the choices come down (on the Linux side) to IPsec (using FreeSWAN) or CIPE. It seems that FreeSWAN is 'better', being an implementation of IPsec which is a standard. However, CIPE does the job as well for Linux clients and is somewhat simpler to setup. The problem is that it's not a pure Linux situation - a couple of the sites run OS-X. I'm pretty sure that I'll be able to find an implementation of IPsec for OS-X, but I think CIPE is Linux only. So, the question is for those of you have have implemented BOTH - is there a significant difference in setup time and hassle between CIPE and FreeSWAN ? If CIPE is going to be much easier than dealing with FreeSWAN (and whatever on the OS-X sites) then I'll simply get a Linux box for each of the remote sites - with the low price of hardware, it doesn't take much more complexity in software to make buying hardware to use simpler software economic.

[ILUG] The Age Old 'Which Mailer' Question I am trying to manage the email for a domain which I have hosted with hosting365, and am trying to get the whole email send and receive thing working nice and easily. At the moment I have configured Fetchmail to poll the different pop3 mailboxes and deliver the mail accordingly, although it appears that I have to have only one unix user being able to receive from each pop3 mailbox. This could be a limitation of the fetchmailconf programme, I'm not sure, but It would be much handier if I could just tell it to collect all of the mail from the different mailboxes, and then deliver it locally according to the "To:" header instead of the pop3 mailbox it came from. The other issue I am having is sending outgoing mail. I have been trying to use sendmail, but am finding it to be an absolute pain in the posterior, and when the relay server will only accept outgoing connections if I have checked for incoming mail in the last twenty minutes, and I don't know how to set sendmail to run a command before it sends out the mail. Do any of the outgoing mailer programs, exim or postfix or whatever, have a 'nice' configuration interface, or do they all have nice friendly configuration files like sendmail. Any suggestions of alternative solutions would be much appreciated. There are only three or four email addresses in my domain, and setting it up for scheduled collection and either scheduled or immediate delivery would do me fine. Thanks, David.

[ILUG] What HOWTOs for SOHO system Hi All, I'm trying to set up the following: 1. A Linux server running with a modem for internet connectivity and an ethernet card for LAN connectivity 2. Other LAN pcs with ethernet cards, using the Linux server for DNS/DHCP etc. Basically, I want to route any non LAN traffic through the ppp0. I've got some of the way, but like a similar post earlier about modem problems, when I am connected to the internet with eht0 up, the routing is all incorrect and noting goes out through ppp0 (eh0 must be the default route or something). Is there standard "out of the box" Linux tools that will carry out portmapping on behalf of the LAN PCs ? (I'm planning on non routable addresses 192.168.x.x for the LAN, routed outwards via the ppp0 interface). Can someone point me at the right HOWTOs or routing documentation I need to follow ?

Re: [ILUG] Serial number in hosts file -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Your actual serial number is 1519761310 - from a dig I've just done. Try resetting the zone number to 2002082901 - some of your secondaries seem to have a serial number below that, so they clearly regard 1519761310 as being less than 2002082601. That should enable them to pick up the new zonefile. T.

[ILUG] Marketing SIG has a good start :) |::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::| IT's Monday 520 02 September 2002 |::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::| STUDENT LIFE BEGINS WITH LINUX by John Sterne The launch last month of a marketing special interest group by the Irish Linux Users Group (ILUG) - open source and marketing, it seems, might not be mutually exclusive concepts - has already sparked an interesting initiative at University College Cork. When the new academic year begins at UCC, every incoming student will be offered a copy of Red Hat Linux 7.3. ILUG member Braun Brelin proposed this promotion, when he ran a training class for staff at the UCC computer science department. Brelin, who is the director of technology at OpenApp, says that the Linux offer could be extended to any or all of the other Irish universities. The user group is tapping into an international Red Hat programme that aims to introduce students at all levels to the open source style of computing. The Linux distributor runs an 'educational channel' to reach this audience, bundling educational software with its operating environment and offering networked support services to eligible applicants. This scheme was originally designed to suit the educational structures in the US, but is now available to schools and universities throughout the world. Red Hat Linux 7.3 incorporates ease of use and maintenance features and is intended to counter objections that Linux is hard to master on personal systems. The Linux-for-all project at UCC could also raise the profile of Red Hat Ireland. Based in Cork, this operation has run shared financial services for other Red Hat offices in Europe since 2000. Until now its involvement with users in Ireland has been fairly limited, although it does sometimes refer them to other Red Hat offices in Europe that offer consulting or technical support services. David Owens, Red Hat's director of global logistics and production, sees the formation of the ILUG marketing group as a reason to take a more proactive approach. In the last three months, he notes, his office in Cork has received more and more calls from Irish companies that are interested in adopting Linux and has introduced some to Red Hat pre-sales consultants. ------------- Many thanks are due to Braun and David for working together on this one.

Null, the third beta was out last week. It'll be an interesting release. Gnome 2.0, and GCC 3.2 - both very new, large projects. I'd not be putting it on any production machines for a while... Though many say "RedHat X.0 releases are rubbish" - it's worth baring in mind that they jump a release when the underlying archtechture changes, not just the installer, so they are .0 for a reason.

This is a large corpus of 42,619 preprocessed text messages and emails sent by humans in 43 languages. is_spam=1 means spam and is_spam=0 means ham.

1040 rows of balanced data, consisting of casual conversations and scam emails in ≈10 languages, were manually collected and annotated by me, with some help from ChatGPT.


Some preprcoessing algorithms


Data composition

Spam vs Non-spam (Ham)


Description

To make the text format between sms messages and emails consistent, email subjects and content are separated by two newlines:

text = email.subject + "\n\n" + email.content

Suggestions

  • If you plan to train a model based on this dataset alone, I recommend adding some rows with is_toxic=0 from FredZhang7/toxi-text-3M. Make sure the rows aren't spam.
