3 of 3 installations of ubuntu failed for various reasons. Linux hardware support is getting worse since 1995.

error27 Please make your hash trees be compatible with the THEX spec. And you should modify your code to use different hash functions for leaves and internal nodes. Just prepend 0x00 and 0x01 respectively before hashing.
Bayesian spam filters solved the spam problem for me. But I don't like the use of a big (X MB) and slow database for word counts. (And I want that deleted emails leave no traces on disc.) So I modified some bloom filter code I had around to classify my emails. While this code is still untuned and uses a stupid shell script as tokenizer, the first results look promising. Two 64 KB bit-arrays are more than enough information to detect spam emails.
nuncanada Gödels incompleteness theorem does not show that certain traditional theories are not able to handle arithmetics. It states that all formal systems which can handle arithmetics are incomplete. Formulated differently: All systems which are complete are boring because they can't even handle arithmetics. So incompletness is a feature and not a bug.
