Using gzip As A Spam Filter

[0]captainclever writes "[1]Kuro5hin have an interesting [2]article on
detecting spam using gzip." Here's a sample: "Loosely speaking, the LZ (Zip) and the related gzip compression algorithms look for repeated strings within a text, and replace each repeat with a reference to the first occurrence. The compression ratio achieved therefore measures how many repeated fragments, words or phrases occur in the text." Links

Open Source and the Art of First Programming http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/01/26/1834204

Largefile Support Problems
http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/709

The Unix98 standard requires largefile support, and many of the latest operating systems provide it. However, some systems still chose not to make it the default, resulting in two models: Some parts of the system use the traditional 32bit off_t, while others are compiled with a largefile 64bit off_t. Mixing libraries and plugins is not a good idea.

ZoneMinder 0.9.8
http://freshmeat.net/releases/110744/

ZoneMinder is a set of applications which support capture, analysis, recording, and monitoring of video data coming from cameras attached to a Linux system. It features a user-friendly Web interface which allows viewing, archival, review, and deletion of images and movies captured by the cameras. The image analysis system is highly configurable, permitting retention of specific events, while eliminating false positives. ZoneMinder is built around the definition of a set of individual 'zones' of varying sensitivity and functionality for each camera. This allows the elimination of regions which should be ignored or the definition of areas which will alarm if various thresholds are exceeded in conjunction with other zones. All management, control, and other functions are supported through the Web interface.
