Plan9 vs Passport

September 20, 2002 - Posted by André Restivo- 0 Comments

How Apache & Plan 9 will defeat Microsoft’s Passport. I
especially like this passage: ‘Passport brilliantly combines the
kludgey and unstable nature of NIS+ with the insecurity of the
trusted hosts concept to produce a nine-step process with obvious
opportunities.’

Mozilla Mail with Spam blocking

September 20, 2002 - Posted by André Restivo- 0 Comments

It seems spam blocking is finally coming to Mozilla as reported by
Blogzilla. You can
see a screenshot href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=99819&action=view">
here and the bug entry on bugzilla href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169638">here.
If they get this one right I might consider moving from href="http://ximian.com/products/evolution/">Evolution.

Daypop

A current events/weblog/news search engine. A nice complement to href="http://www.google.com">Google helping to index all those
rapidly changing blogs and news services. Thanks to href="http://blog.portugalmail.pt/K/archive/000054.html">K for
pointing this one for me.

I don’t know if Google already does this but I don’t think it
would be too hard if they checked which pages change more often and
index them 2 or 3 times a day.
