  1. Re:Well, the reply-to argument is at rest... by Sendy · · Score: 1 · on New Mail RFCs Released

    ESC really sucks in IE

    There is some discussion going about 'Reply-To munging'.

    I found this in the Mailman "general/reply_goes_to_list" details help:

    There are many reasons not to introduce or override the Reply-To: header. One is that some posters depend on their own Reply-To: settings to convey their valid return address. Another is that modifying Reply-To: makes it much more difficult to send private replies. See `Reply-To' Munging Considered Harmful for a general discussion of this issue. See Reply-To Munging Considered Useful for a dissenting opinion.

    I prefer _not_ to set the Reply-To header.

  2. Re:Availability ? by ibis · · Score: 1 · on Dell to sell laptops with Linux preinstalled

    The 7500 is already available, although Dell makes it hard to find the Linux boxes on their web site.

    This site has a direct link to all of the Dell machines available with Linux:

  3. Hard to find the Linux boxes on Dell's web site by ibis · · Score: 3 · on Dell to sell laptops with Linux preinstalled

    It used to be that Dell had a single page with links to all for their systems that you can get with Linux, but when they redesigned their site, it disappeared.

    If you would like an easier way to find Dell computers with Linux pre-installed, please visit MetaSystema.org, where they are all laid out on one page:

  4. Re:racist by ibis · · Score: 1 · on Mindcraft Posts Linux Hate Mail

    Whatever. Too bad you haven't got a sense of humor. I think it's just as funny in Cockney, or Redneck, or Elmer Fudd, or Swedish Chef, or Moron, or Pig Latin.

    If you've got a problem with it, then read The Dialectizer's Not Discriminatory statement. If you still got a problem, don't bitch at me - I didn't write the program. Bitch at Samuel Stoddard, who did write it, at his feedback address.

    Please try to have a nice day!

  5. Re:Am i the only one who think "ja ja.." is funny? by ibis · · Score: 1 · on Mindcraft Posts Linux Hate Mail

    You want to see something really funny? I ran the page through The Dialectizer. It won't work from The Dialectizer page, something about Mindcraft's server not being standard. So I make a copy of the page and dialectized it. You can view the result here.

  6. EULAs have actually been upheld in court - 1997 by ibis · · Score: 1 · on Mosix looking into GPL concerns

    Actually, EULAs have been upheld in court. The judge, however, seems to have made enforceability dependent on three conditions. One of those conditions is that a refund must be available for those who don't agree to the terms. I forget what the other two are. You will find links to the case and an analysis of it at http://www.metasystema.org/dell.mhtml. The links I refer to are near the bottom of the page.
