John Robb writes: "Wow. I have ramped up my portfolio by 30% in a week of trading on HSX (this puts me within a 1/2 a percentage point of the top 10 players this week -- out of 300,000 + players). Update: I am now well above that and should be in the top ten as of COB today. I have found handicapping movies just prior to their release gives me the best return."

Anatomy of an embryonic identity-theft-by-email: " I would like to inform Kuro5hin of an identity thief-by-email I seemed to have caught. The question is, what should I do? I have informed Yahoo, but have received a simple form letter in return. This guy is definitely plagueing other users of Yahoo, as his email was flagged as bulk from Yahoo's own email services, indicating that he is spamming many Yahoo users." [kuro5hin.org]

The effectivity of Mac OS X spam filter -- Comment()
I have been using the spam filter of Mac OS X for about a year, and the effectivity has varied a lot, getting as low as 70% of received spam messages. On the other hand, currently the filter is performing excellently: 239 recognized spam messages out of 266 messages received in one week. Thus, the filter recognized 90% of spam. Not bad. And apparently there were no misclassifications of legitimate messages as spam.
