No, this isn’t a rant about the vast amounts of unsolicited junk I receive on a daily basis, it’s about two research papers I have recently written on anti-spam tools.
Last week I learnt that a paper I had written based on the work of one of my part II project students had been accepted for [...]
From the ucam-webmasters mailing list — yet another reason to switch to Firefox:
After application of SP2 to Windows XP there seems to be an interaction that we haven’t yet managed to isolate, which causes html files sent from IE to the validator at validator.w3.org (by either method) to be given the mime type of text. [...]
