Agreed: something like

Browsing back through my old virus warnings, it looks like something
concerning this has changed between versions 3.02-1 and 3.03-1 of
MailScanner.
And btw, yes this last warning was about the MyParty virus. Tnx for being so
darn fast with fixing MailScanner to detect it!

As you may or may not have noticed, people have been wanting the

spamassassin uses..

I think mailscanned is a wonderful utility and as it gets more

I would love to see better intergration ability with
spamassassin and maybe razor in future releases. And maybe a flat text
file whitelist for people you dont want mailscanner to mark ANY mail as
spam, and still scan for virus's. Basically a little more flexability. I
know some requests are a little iffy, but im interested to see how many
people would like this functionality from the wonderful mailscanner by

color, at least. We're thinking about changing that. Kinda. We're
running out of usable color schemes. I'd like to use the same
background images in each newsletter, which will actually speed up
things for those of you who read more than one regularly (since
they'd be cached). This will also decrease our server load, and
allow us to use new colors without having to get too creative.
"Huh?" The title bars and text colors will stay - they're great
visual cues. I'm hoping to make the background images color
neutral, like a much lighter (and whiter) spin on the one we're
currently using for the Penguin Shell. I
may have a mock-up for y'all soon. Of course, by then, we may have
switched everything over to the "new" system. This is a functional
change, folks. I'm interested in hearing what you have to say
about it first, though. Don't make me break out the burnt sienna;
it was bad enough when we decided on sea foam (hospital) green for

{Weigh them molecules} Who needs a molecular weight calculator? I
sure don't. But you see, my friends, I not only feature stuff
that's useful to me, but stuff that might be useful to others, as
well. Therefore, let me introduce all of you "chem" Gnomies to
this lovely little calculator. It contains a formula finder, an
amino acid notation converter (I just sold mine on eBay last
month), and a capillary calculations monitor - just to name a few
features. "Note the notation used to enter a molecular formula and
note how the program can display multiple formulas simultaneously,
while formatting them with subscripts as needed, plus superscripts
for isotopes." Yes, please note that. Don't make me repeat it
6.022 times ten to the 23rd times.

{Mastering foreign verbs} Conjugations can tie a person's head in
knots. Not to mention, their tongue. Okay, they might not be too
difficult to understand in your native language, but what if
you're trying to study a different one? Those things can trip you
up bigtime. This program was designed specifically for learning
verbs; over one hundred languages are supported (pending
registration). Besides being a wonderful learning tool, it can
also save you a lot of "look it up in the dictionary" time.
"Unlike any other sources, Verbix for Windows also returns the
glossary look-up form from any inflection; you no more need to
know them by heart!" Free languages include: Arabic, Dalmatian,
Ancient Egyptian, Classical Greek, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese,

How to Use Dates and Times in Microsoft Excel
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q214094
"Microsoft Excel stores all dates as integers and all times as
decimal fractions. With this system, Excel can add, subtract, or
compare dates and times just like any other numbers, and all dates
are manipulated by using this system. In this system, the serial
number 1 represents 1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM. Times are stored as
decimal numbers between .0 and .99999, where .0 is 00:00:00 and
.99999 is 23:59:59. The date integers and time decimal fractions
can be combined to create numbers that have a decimal and an
integer portion. For example, the number 32331.06 represents the
date and time 7/7/1988 1:26:24 AM. To help you perform complex
date and time calculations, Microsoft Excel includes many built-in
date and time functions."

Enough with the Passwords, Already!
Scribbled by Ron Pelton
Jake wrote about e-commerce solutions while explaining the absence
of your store. Sounds like he found a good one, but now I get just
a little steamed. When grocery shopping, fueling the family
transportation system, Christmas shopping, or whatever commerce
that is done in the non-digital world, do you have to provide a
password so that a merchant will let you browse or (worse) let you
make a purchase. Of course not!
At this point, I have password overload and have sworn off online
purchases. There are some exceptions, however. To date, 26 online
merchants have lost me as customer because of a request for a
password. I have written to each one of them after backing out of
their shopping carts to let them know that they lost a sale - and
to request a rational reason [as to] why I should invoke an
accounting program to track passwords when it is not necessary in
real life. Even bizrate.com, which provides a wonderful service,
has begun some selling on its own and lost a sale to me. NOBODY
has even had the courtesy to respond with an attempted answer. The
truth is, all you need is enough personal information to conclude
that I am a real person with a real credit card, which is more
than they do at Wal-Mart where they don't even bother to compare
signatures (or even gender). I hope Jake's new program is customer
friendly, not just administratively friendly.
(Furo) Agreed. It's stupid to have to register on a site just to
place an order with them. It's not like they won't have a way to
market to you anyway, so why the registration? Oh, gee whiz, so
you remembered my shipping address... big deal. One way I get back
at them is to re-register every time I place a new order, creating
an email account just long enough to get the receipt, then I
destroy the email account so further emails are bounced back to
them. Sure, it's a little more work, but bleep 'em. It's worth it!
I don't normally do that for large sites like Amazon, but I do for
the small shops. I did that exact thing on Monday to a site
because they forced me to register. My order should be here today
and I'll never have to hear from them again and I don't have to
remember a password for their site.
(Jake) Actually, until the legal system gets changed to more
closely match the Internet transaction space, or a better
verification system gets put in place to make fraud less likely,
the more information a site can gather and store about its
customers, the better. The burden of proof with all transactions
occurring on the Internet lies with the seller. If a purchaser
chooses to block the transaction, even after they've already
received delivery of the product, too bad for the retailer - they
eat the cost of the merchandise and get an extra charge to boot.
Lockergnome can't afford those risks; I'm guessing that most small
retailers can't either. If that happened with only one
transaction, it would take as many as several hundred transactions
to make up the lost revenues.
Making customers provide more information about themselves helps
ensure that abusers are going to be less likely to want to cheat
the system because it becomes inconvenient. It is less expensive
for a company to sit on extra inventory, creating a longer
inventory turn cycle - even if that inventory might have been sold
to a legitimate purchaser if they hadn't been forced to jump
through an extra hoop and provide information. In addition to
decreasing the likelihood of people defrauding the system in the
first place, retaining more information also provides further
ammunition for proving that the transaction was legitimate when it
gets called into question by the credit card company.
Many Internet sellers, including the previous company that hosted
our store's fulfillment, even go so far as to require buyers to
FAX a copy of the card for them to keep on file - in an effort to
take an extra step to ensure that they weren't dealing with a
phony. This did tick off some people (who chose not to purchase),
but it also kept their chargebacks down to virtually zero, with
their closest competitor in their space incurring upwards of $80k
in chargebacks per quarter. It would take a hell of an increase in
transactions to justify losing $25k+ / month to fraudulent
transactions.
By our collecting names and addresses, forcing people to log in,
we've added a layer of protection that should act as a minor fraud
deterrent. If that also blocks a few purchases along the way, so
be it. If I truly believed that we would do more volume by making
the purchasing process easier and simultaneously not lose any
money by taking an extra risk, by all means - I'd go with a system
that was more "wide open." However, people exist who will take
advantage of any easy means of defrauding the system, so until
there is a better system for defeating fraud, the "best" system is
having as much information as possible.

Open Diary
http://www.opendiary.com/
{Read my thoughts} If you share your diary openly with other
people, should it still be called a diary? That was a rhetorical
question, really - it just popped into my head while I was
browsing the entries available here. Perhaps I might add my own
soon. "Today I almost asked Susie to the Homecoming Dance. I hope
my Camaro starts." Anyway, if you have something to say and don't
mind sharing it, give this a short spin. There is a charge to use
the service, but it's small change, trust me. "Open Diary is the
next generation of online diary communities. This community will
be limited to only 10,000 members. We are currently home to 2,821
online diarists." There ya go - rather exclusive.

Who here doesn't use a Microsoft Office application on a regular
basis? Wow. I didn't realize there were so many of you. Look at
those icons. I mean, each one is a miniature work of art. Except
that one. Right there. You know, the ugly one on the end? Right-
click on a Toolbar and select the Customize option. Now, right-
click on any given "ugly" icon you'd like to change. Yes, that
Change Button Image menu is nice for other pre-formatted icons,
but what if you don't see what you want in there? Easy. Select the
Edit Button Image option. Look at that - a pseudo icon editor. If
you're so inclined, you can also edit menu items. As long as that
Customize dialog is still open, you can left-click to open a menu,
then right-click on any given option and change or add its icon.
If you mess up, then simply select the Reset Button Image option.
This thing is foolproof. Sure, you don't have many colors to
choose from, but how fancy do you really need these things to be?
I made a strawberry for Word's Insert Field menu option. It'll
stay there forever.
