ati have the binary drivers for linux (fglrx) that works fine on most things and are getting better and better since AMD aquired ATI.
but even better, AMD/ATI is releasing the specs and example code to open source developers, so the open driver gets build... most ATI cards alredy have 2D working fine and basic 3D running. with time we will see if the open drivers will get faster than the closed ones
win98 run better with a FIXED size swap (disable that stupid auto-manage swap)
win98, due a bug in the kernel, will never use more than 256Mb physical memory (not virtual memory)... so if you have 1Gb, you are wasting ram... if you saw 450Mb in use, it was probably some kind of cache or it was using in in the virtual memory (and so you are using some swap)
and useless... its a pretty thing to show off... but then you realise that only 0.1% of the users might have use it and even then in extreme cases...
its complex solution that is just a money/work hole, that management like to brag to friends ("yeh, i can listen to my emails!!"), although they only used it to twice and dont know what to do with it
> On the other hand, there are already millions of C# programmers, of whom most will learn WPF and have no trouble developing Silverlight apps.
there are already millions of flash developers today, no need to wait for tomorrow...
>Indeed, I don't see how Silverlight 2 can fail.
its from MS... not even MS use it in their sites... MS have many products that are a totally failure (when they hit, they hit it big), just remember the MS BOB!!
to work in the web, it must be cross platform, specially today with linux and mac (and appliances) in the rise, light (remember java) and give something new
i'm not even referring that people must have it installed, as MS will probably enforce its usage via some security update (think in the windows search)
Linbox had several packages to add to a debian to turn it a easy to manage ldap/AD system... they were aquired by mandriva, but IIRC, you can still install in in other OS other than mandriva
take a look over it, it cant replace all AD, but if you dont need group policies and only want a central pointo to authenticate windows and mac/linux systems, check it out
>> Just like all modern addresses are IPV6? >Oh, please. As far as I know, if you are on IPv6, you can't see a damn thing on the internet except through IPv4 translation.
i have also both ipv4 and ipv6 and there are many sites with different content (or that only respond) via ipv6... ok, they are rare but you can (again) use both ipv4 and ipv6, just like you can use both 32bit and 64bit on a configured system
its always chicken and egg, without users, there is not support, without support, there is no users but with time, both ipv6 and 64bits are growing and will be the future
i'm using 64 for several years and dont see any stability problems at all...
as for java, skype, and any other 32bit only app... you can run then without any problem... games, java, firefox 32bits and flash, skype, games, wine , etc
i'm using slamd64, that have support for both 64 and 32bit apps... not only that, i have a chroot with 32bit ubuntu (for some tests) and i can run all apps (as long as i'm running the 64bits X one and i export the correct DISPLAY)
64bits only affects the hardware support, so the kernel, drivers and X are your worries, all rest you can run fine
xnest will do that, all it would take was a kind of xdm/kdm/gdm that when another user logged in, it would start another xnest and divide the screen... the new multipoint support could help on the keyboard and mouse...
Since win95 i read about how WINFS will be released and "how good it will be"(â)... more than 10 years later is still vaporware.
in all this time all they do is keep updating the "target winfs features" and manage to do a dog slow, CPU burner FS without any real usefulness.
FS is to save files. DB is to save and manage data. FS is a special DB, just like LDAP, people dont use DB because DB is a overkill for those special cases.
For each task, a different tool but MS still didnt learn that, they like to do a "one size fits all"(â) and its one of the many reasons that people hate MS and its products.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "ONE SIZE FITS ALL" !! you will always lose some features/speed/stability/usability/whatever
you cant simply send a email using other people domains, that is what the SPF is for, to protect the domains.
If your friend setup a SPF record, is saying that ONLY those IPs/MX/etc can send that domain.
the forward using the same sender is a very broken way to work. please note that the email "From:" you can keep unchanged, but not the sender...when forwarding a email, its your server that is sending the email, not the original one, so the sender MUST reflect that.
So you must send/forward the email using a sender FROM YOUR SERVER. you can do that with SRS or plain use a valid email from your server.
you can use SRS, but that isnt even really required, SRS is to enable the bounce to the original sender, but most of the time he cant do anything, the problem is in YOUR side and it should be you to get the bounce and fix it.
so use the aliases owner-{email}: trick to force the forward with the correct sender (both sendmail and postfix support this, probably exim too... no idea about qmail) or use a procmail rule to do it for you... if not, install SRS
finally, some people are afraid that forward some spam with the their sender, it would get their domain blacklist, but first one must always try to filter all the spam, second, any blacklist would also apply to the IP, so its the same thing with and without the corrected sender. also, isnt just one email that puts a domain/ip in a blacklist, you need many...
hint: filter (or at least, give big spam points) those domains that have "allow all" SFP records... also, with spf, you can trust the received emails, so you can WHITELIST then... with that, you can play more hardball with the unknown domains, they could start with 5 spam points instead of zero...

what is more incredible is that this is what "IP rights protection" companies say about their products and people believe on then!! Of course, their products range from totally crap to snake oil... but hey... they still believe that next version will be the one!!
sorry, i didnt understand that what you really want is search folders...
claws dont have real search folters, but have tags support, various sort forms, including score and tags and a quick search in each folder
just create a filtering rule to tag each email for their account, then use the folter as you want... want account1 emails? just sort by tag or quicksearch that tag... you can even quicksearch recursively
i dont know any client that do that automatically, but you can create the folders and configure each account to put its sent, drafts, inbox and trash in each folter
offline messages exists for many years file transfer have both p2p and via server proxy webcam and voip, there is no standard in xmpp yet, but its being made and many companies already use then
you may not know, but MANY products use xmpp (aka jabber), they just dont call it by its name, they just brand it...many of the jabber deploys are for internal use only
one of the best examples is the messenger from sapo, a ISP from Portugal
then have their own client (but of course, accept others jabber clients) with webcam and voip support, including free voip to land phones and paid for cell phones and international (ie: out of Portugal) phones, SMS support and other (useless) things that people from MS messenger like... the windows client isnt gpl nor open source, but there is some hope that this could change.
the best thing is that they paid psy author to work for then in psy, to add missing features, so that Mac and Linux users could use it as easily as in windows... of course, you can also use the psy in other servers.
both sapo and gmail might define the standard for voip and webcam in xmpp
as for users, AIM is still the king, but MSM gained alot... ICQ almost disappeared, absorver by AIM, and yahoo is slowly following... jabber is increasing, specially with gmail. AOL is testing a xmpp version of AIM (and so ICQ also) and yahoo can only save it self by doing the samething, migrate to xmpp. there is no douth that xmpp will be the standard for IM, just like SMTP is for email... jabber can talk with MSM, AIM, ICQ, yahoo, and of course, other jabbers, and so is the only universal IM protocol
i even agree with you, that wasnt MS fault for x86 monoculture, but MS didnt help also... they only offered windows for alpha and even then had many problems and quickly dropped... alpha didnt last either and all other CPUs filled their niches, the only "old" CPUs still there, out of their niched markets are the MIPS (mostly scaled down to embedded hardware) and powerPC (in the Mac market, but now, with it lost, the PowerPC computer is severely minor)
IMHO, only powerPC had a change to fight the x86, but they had to convince MS to port windows to it and/or agressively push the OS/2 (or even linux, although a little early) to the market and do it extremely cheap (by OEM, enterprise licenses and not officially, easy to pirate floppies/CDs)... and by market, i mean BOTH the home and company ones... only Mac (and server) supporting the powerpc grow was too little.
he got the medication his doctor gave it and with time he got better...
the initial hit of the disease was strong and it was slow to heal, so he got scared... but with time and continue traetment he got well.
most diseases take time to solve, several are hard to diagnostic, but people must trust medics and if they dont, check with another medic and do more exams.
Short version: In a reference to the Church of the SubGenius and the real truth of the universe you get this rule:
"Slack is doing nothing and still getting what you want"
Longer version: In the beginnings of linux, people had to fetch all kind of packages, build then and hope that everything worked... the first distros where just a pre-compiled of everythings and one of then was the SLS distro... but as most of things at that time, it had several of problems and bad decisions. Pat got tired of fixing then and as SLS was slow or didnt want to correcting things, he decided to pick up SLS and corrected things that didnt work or were (in Pat view) plain wrong... most people agreed with Pat and slackware replaced SLS (like Linus, Pat just wanted to fix his own problem, not do a full distro, but other people liked it)
so slackware was just a bug fix distro to help so people slack all the trouble of the initial linux usage and better enjoy it.
