For those of you running Linux: You may want to look into whether
NoCeM is compatible with your newsreader and your version of Linux.
It checks newsgroups news.lists.filters and alt.nocem.misc for lists
of spam posts, and will automatically hide them for you. Not available
for other operating systems, though, except possibly Unix.
Anybody serious about programming should be using a form of UNIX/Linux if you
ask me. It's inconceivable that these systems should be avoided if you're
serious about Software Engineering and Computer Science, etc. For UNIX there
are loads of decent news reading software and mail user agents to learn and
use. slrn is a good one and point it at gmane.org as someone else pointed out.
I can't even imagine using a browser or Google Groups, etc. now.
Anybody serious about programming should know that an OS is a
combination of the hardware and software. Can the *Nix variants now do
proper clustering or are they still decades behind VMS? Never used the
other main/mini frame systems myself but perhaps they are still vastly
superior to this highly overrated *Nix crap.
