Comment 95% accuracy (Score 1) 81

While 95% accuracy at detecting spam may sound like "wow", it's a very low rate. Simply using correctly configured greylisting gives an accuracy in the 99% range. So I doubt this technique really improves anything but it will allow to say 'we did it another way'. Given than more and more spam comes from official mail relays, accuracy will only increase when analysing the body of the mail.

no, it's not useful for development either, you cannot develop a kernel for it as it's not the real hardware, and android SDK has an emulator already, which is faster than running it on a phone with whatever virtualization.
The only possible use I see is sandboxing, but again, it's overkill...

FreeNAS Switching From FreeBSD To Debian Linux 206

dnaumov writes "FreeNAS, a popular, free NAS solution, is moving away from using FreeBSD as its underlying core OS and switching to Debian Linux. Version 0.8 of FreeNAS as well as all further releases are going to be based on Linux, while the FreeBSD-based 0.7 branch of FreeNAS is going into maintenance-only mode, according to main developer Volker Theile. A discussion about the switch, including comments from the developers, can be found on the FreeNAS SourceForge discussion forum. Some users applaud the change, which promises improved hardware compatibility, while others voice concerns regarding the future of their existing setups and lack of ZFS support in Linux."
