After 90 years, one of the oldest journals of Canada, the Beaver, is changing its name.Its publishers say it was quite natural that the Canadian Journal of History was to be named in honor of industrious creatures dams which the national emblem of the country.But recent attempts to log to reach a new online audience fell foul spam filters - especially in schools - because of the beaver as a slang term for female genitalia.
Publishers of the magazine - now known as the history of Canada - have also noticed that most of the 30.000 or so visitors to your site per month spent less than 10 seconds.Scunthorpe problem
And they suspect that he learned about the fur trade beaver who built Canada's early economic condition was not that they were interested
Deborah Morrison, publisher of the Winnipeg-based magazine website reported BBC News: "Back in 1920, Beaver was perfectly appropriate name."And while its other meaning is nothing new, its ambiguity began to create a completely new challenge with the development of the Internet. The name has become an obstacle to our growth."

Blocking harmless sites, or by e-mail militant filters are nothing new.In 1996, the inhabitants of the British town of Scunthorpe were initially banned the registration of internet provider AOL, as the name of the city contained obscenities.
This became known as the problem of Scunthorpe.
Cyber bigotryElsewhere in England, the people of South Yorkshire Penistone and Lightwater in Surrey had the same trouble.
Such a clumsy cyber bigotry could be forgiven for the Internet in its infancy.But why some filters are still apparently unable to distinguish between clean and dirty content?There are chastity belts fastened too tight?Problems, technical experts say that when the world flooded the Web with mud, wide blocking rules often leads to false positives, meaning innocent Binned content just to be on the safe side.
In addition, a distinctive e-mail the sheep from the goats can be a tricky business, especially given the intensity of the so-called "arms race" between spammers and filters.Spammers develop more sophisticated methods for helmet-dunking our inboxes with ads extolling the benefits of the expansion of masculinity, virility pills and pornography, among other things.

Christian Kreibich, of the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley, Calif., says: "The talent quickly displays the intention that people are very difficult to automate."You can try to parse the language, but you will find a lot of this, unfortunately, deliberately misleading or broken, for example, it is not connected with excerpts from the latest novel by Dan Brown."
Researcher adds: "filtration system - all - work well enough, but, of course, individual users do not realize it when a few slip into their inboxes again."
In the farcical continuation of the Scunthorpe problem, some filters are known to act as a rogue spell checking, replacing the word "rude" words that they consider more suitable options.
"Ass" replaces "ass", "breast" is substituted for "tit", and so on, even within the more words containing ban letter combinations.
This is known as "clbuttic mistake" because the classic edit as clbuttic, passport becomes pbuttport, and so on.

Filter ruled that "gay" was offensive word that should be changed to "homosexual."As a result, paper began with the memorable headline: "Homosexual makes the final at Olympic trials 100 meters."
Some believe that the fix glitches that see countless legitimate e-mail is automatically discarded into the trash is not in the financial interests of the spam filter feeders.Bennett Haselton, Webmaster World Fire, an organization supporting freedom of expression for young people on the internet, said: "The main problem is not that filters are dumb."Many technology start Dumb and improves over time.
"The problem here is that there are no incentives for the market to improve the filters, since end users often do not even realize that e-mails they've missed."
Not so, according to Henry Stern, a senior fellow security Cisco Systems ", which says spam filters are evaluated on their ability to industry not to block legitimate e-mail or Web sites.He said that without the blockers, the tsunami between 250 billion and 400 billion spam messages a day will flood our mailboxes, crash computer networks around the world.Spam filter engineer believes Scunthorpe related Gremlins mostly gone.
However, at least one email address, noting the problem of Scunthorpe and sent to the University for this article, was all-powerful filter.
