  1. esound and other misc. components on Ask Miguel de Icaza About Gnome · · Score: 1

    Hey Miguel it's fun to be using GNOME! This thing sure has come a long way... Of course the amount of work seems to also have gone up exponentially right along with the passage of time. As a fairly middle of the road professionally employed linux user I do a lot of installations and tweaking for security and stability. My question is this: When I go to install I normally try to keep the number of packages (yes I use RH mostly) to a minimum. However, what I find is that I almost always end up with alot of development libraries, running daemon's, and other stuff that I really don't know how safe it is to remove during or after the fact? Can you tell us for instance why enlightenment or GNOME seems to be dependant on say: 'esound'? Or in other words, is it safe to install without all those libraries under the 'development' context? Thanks, doulos

  2. Call them TOLL FREE at: (888) 642-9675 on Network Solutions E-Mail Security Alert · · Score: 1

    No busy signal either!!! This number was advertized at the following URL on their own site: http://www.networksolutions.com/dotcommail/email_a ccess.html but who knows how long it will be up. I called it and asked to speak to a supervisor, where I was then politely taken care of. I explained the matter of security compromise, and then politely requested the e-mail accounts to be removed for all of my domains in question.

  3. Finally... on Evolution is a Myth in Kansas · · Score: 1

    When evolutionary theory is based on the theory of a geological column that could somehow represent the age of the earth, and the column itself is based on evolutionary theory, then you have a circular argument, and it should be acknowledged as such. I think it's great that the evo-theory isn't mandatory curriculem in that state anymore. I think it's great that some free thinking folks are questioning the established dogma and deciding that there may be other hypothesis worth teaching. Shoot, forty-nine other states still mandate this. What's the matter, can't we accept one being a little different? We're all such hypocrites. Why can't we be a little more forgiving and open minded toward one another? (I know why... Hurray for freedom, honesty and diversity!!! :-)

  4. Quotes from "Pirates of Silicon Valley" on NT Beats Linux in Round 2 · · Score: 1

    I like how the exchange went between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates just as Jobs realizes that Bill had stolen from the ideas that Jobs had stolen from Xerox:

    Jobs says: "Our stuff is better..."
    Gates replies: "Your missing the point. THAT does'nt matter..." (something like that anyway :)

    Cool irony huh?
