OT : filtering the aioe spam

| Has anyone got a good filter for filtering out those idiotic
nonsense replies that seem to be hitting this ng all of a sudden?
I considered filtering on message-id: 'aioe' but I noticed quite a few
legit people also use the free service as well.
I am using pan btw, so if someone has got a pan-specific filter I could
use (be it regex or other) I'd be delighted. SLNR regex is a different
flavour isn't it?

"strcmp('apples','oranges') is -1"

Just ignore him and he'll go away. Just some script kiddie trying to
get a response from the group members. No response - no pleasure.

Technically, PHP doesn't guarantee this -- just that the return value will
be less than 0. It could be -42.

You are completely right Toby. Which makes me wonder why there's such a
loose definition of the retval, and what is actually stored in it inside
the func.
Sig fixed anyways.

Perhaps in a future version of php they want to make it return some sort
of number to indicate how much they are different. Or maybe they find
out that returning -99999 is faster than -1... Perhaps in the future
strcmp('abc','abd') might return 1, because only one letter is
different, but strcmp('abc','xyz') would return something completely
different. If they keep the definition loose, they can improve the code
in the future, without breaking backwards compatibility. This means that
a script that now tests if(strcmp($foo,$bar)<0) works now for -1, but it
will also work for -42. It's all about reserving the possibility for
future improvements.

I suspect this goes back to the C strcmp, which has the same definition.
Some C compilers return exactly +1, -1 or 0. Others return the
numeric difference between the two. The latter is slightly faster in
machine code.
