Itegno 3000 and Fedora Core 3

We bought Itegno 3000 last week and plugged it into a Fedora Core 3. To our surprise, it’s detected by FC3 straight away, and accessible via /dev/ttyUSB0

Then we’re able to set the internet access via Applications - System Settings - Network. We’re now able to share the internet connection to a few users more reliably.

Very nice. Kudos to Itegno for opening itself up to open-source developers.

And thanks also goes to Fajar for his information, which led to the purchase of this great device. We bought it from Data Sari Citra, which allowed us to test it for a week, again very nice. Just ask for Mr. Sudiro (marketing).

Akismet problem

When I started enabling Akismet plugin in this blog, it worked great. Shortly it caught 5000+ spam.

However, in the last few days, I noticed that spam has managed to pass through Akismet, and it’s getting worse by every day.
Today there are 12 of them.

Coupled with Akismet’s false-positive problem, I think my best option is to use a strong captcha (weak ones has been confirmed as useless now).
Suggestions?
