Fwd: ai takes over internet
---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: "Bill Crawford"

Subject: ai takes over internet
"MIT is claiming they can make the Internet faster if we let computers redesign TCP/IP instead of coding it by hand. They used machine learning to design a version of TCP that's twice the speed and causes half the delay, even with modern bufferbloated networks. They also claim it's more 'fair.' The researchers have put up a lengthy FAQ and source code where they admit they don't know why the system works, only that it goes faster than normal TCP."

Oracle switches Berkeley DB license
Oracle had the right to change the BerkeleyDB license to AGPL, but many will view Oracle's switch as a betrayal of trust
http://www.infoworld.com/d/open-source-software/oracle-switches-berkeley-db-license-222097
From the articleFuture versions of Berkeley DB will instead use the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL). This is also a strong copyleft license, but with an important difference. The AGPL says "your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network ... an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version."

NOTES on Implementing an Email Parser with Python
The most common method for reading an email message is:
Or you can read the entire file first by doing:
Either way, the email message has been processed for ease of use. The header has been stored in a python dictionary, and the body of the message is in a blob.
The list of available rfc822 headers can be gotten by:
Next, you might want to get the value from a field. The lookup is not case sensative.
And of course you'd like to get the body of the message.
import email
# read a file which has just one message
f = open("mbox",'r')
emailMessage = email.message_from_file(f)
f.close()Or you can read the entire file first by doing:
import email
# Process the message
emailMessage = email.message_from_string(str)
Either way, the email message has been processed for ease of use. The header has been stored in a python dictionary, and the body of the message is in a blob.
The list of available rfc822 headers can be gotten by:
print emailMessage.keys()Next, you might want to get the value from a field. The lookup is not case sensative.
print emailMessage.get('subject')And of course you'd like to get the body of the message.
print emailMessage.payload()Monday, July 08, 2013

"Someone
had said something to the effect of 'Oh you're insane, you're crazy,
you're messed up in the head,’ to which he replied 'Oh yeah, I'm real
messed up in the head, I'm going to go shoot up a school full of kids
and eat their still, beating hearts,'" recalled Justin's dad Jack. "The next two lines were lol and jk."
But an
unidentified woman in Canada who saw Justin's comment didn't realize it
was supposed to be tongue in cheek, and tracked down (...)
