One good thing about bush and this bunch of concerned christians is that the black market for cross-border abortions in Canada and Mexico should explode.
Praise the lorb.

At least the process will be fresh, since you documented the process... right?;)
I started doing 1.3.17 but then realised that I'd have to do PHP, mod_ssl and imapd and since I'm leaving my current job in two days I'll let the FNG (#@!%! new guy) deal with it, after he untangles my 11 years of customization on the network.
It sure would be nice if the Canadian fucking gubmint would collect on all the lost shareware dollars for all of the software that I release that gets used but never gets paid for. I'm gonna have to put those nag screens back in until Jean Chretien decides that I'm being treated unfairly.
My guess would be that George stopped submitting to this piece of crap called the Simpsons about two years ago. Worst... episode... ever, is probably his only contribution.
Man pages are my favourite choice of documentation for the nitty-gritty, get it done details. Info is fucking nearly useless and whoever decided on that interface should be shot and pissed on and then have coke poured over them and maybe a bit of cigarette smoke blown on them for good measure.
DocBook is a promising alternative to that, though.
Modification of/bin/install is a good idea. I'm only suggesting that it look for an already installed program in its 'standard' location. Since most of these apps install themselves under/usr/local, that would be the reasonable place for an rpm to look for dependancies. If an rpm is dependant on a specific library it should, in this day and age, be able to look to see whether that library is available (the way configure does it, for example.)
The biggest problem I've had with rpm, IMNSHO, is its inability to deal with dependancies of non-rpm packages on the system. I don't mind having to go root around for my rpm updates, in fact I prefer this so these benefits for apt-get aren't of great concern to me.
If rpm could be configured to look around, in the standard places, for a particular library it would greatly simplify my life as a sysadmin. For example, openssl is stuffed into/usr/local/ssl. In recent RH rpm updates ssl is required but since I hadn't installed the openssl rpm it wouldn't install those packages until I take the time to --force it or --nodeps or whatever is necessary to get it to go.
Many packages I install manually because of the complexity of getting many installs working properly. The Apache-php-mod_ssl-openssl-imapd combination is one good example. I like to be able to update all of these packages as soon as possible if a serious problem occurs with any one of them. This is also the reason that I don't bother with kernel rpm updates since I normally am 2 minor versions ahead of redhat anyway.
These dependancies should be extended from the rpm level to library level. If an rpm for a given library is not found then rpm should go looking for the default location of the library itself before coming back with an error. I'm not even sure that it should be an error, perhaps a very strongly worded WARNING would be better, or at least a configuration to do this by default. Hmmm, I wonder if I'm missing something...
You're right. It is absolutely rediculous. So we're now down to arguing desktop icon placement and artwork are we? What a fucking stupid goddamn world.
...but this would be a great science fair project.
Yeah, and then little Johnny (or Joany or chocci or whatever) wouldn't have to worry about funding their University education because the leukemia would get them long before their freshman year.
You should be able to hack something together with vgetty. I vaguely recall mention of caller id capabilities for this program. If you want to do this right then you need a *good* modem. Courier good. Sportster bad.
Like the Yew-Ess really needs another venue for litigation. Of course I could just be a little more paranoid than normal having just read Neil Stephenson's Cryptonomicon... must... check... spelling... right!
So yeah, they force a name change from ssh to srsh or somefing (my feeling is that this is a natural move from rsh to ssh and that their claims are unenforceable but IANAL) and then just so our scripts don't work any longer we're forced to do,
Hey dude, it was Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure that started the whole dumb buddy movie trend. Wayne's World came 3 or 4 years after Bill and Ted. Too bad Keanu didn't end his career there and then though, especially after his many embarrassing attempts to provoke as a serious thespian. Yeeks.
That's how I remember it. Mind you I was stoned for most of the 80's so it could be an hallucination.

Unless they licensed it under BSD but then didn't bother releasing it to the OS community.
I guess that makes sense.
Bunch of fuckin' bullies. Whacha gonna do?
No. I'd consider going to kernel 2.4 to take advantage of the kernel http.

They're both dark grey. The conservatives tend to be more anal about everything though which is why I dread the next four years.
I was wondering the same about Friends and Frasier.

Get over it, this show sucks now.

Except that all of these are windows programs. Never use windoze to answer your phone. Ever.
