I'm having a weird problem - none of my mail clients will check an IMAP account - weird, non?
A complete guess, but could your firewalling rules be blocking the port on which IMAP runs? That's the sort of thing that gets changed with a new distro. You could try running 'nmap -sT localhost' or netstat while the client should be connected.
Never played Splinter Cell, probably never will. But assuming it is the usual Jack Bauer, you're-the-only-man-who-can-stop-the-terrorists action, I'm guessing they're referring to the Pandora of Greek mythology, who released all evils upon the earth.
The following likely has nothing to do with the game, but Hesiod tells us additionally that 'hope' (elpis) was also in the jar, and that was the only thing that didn't escape. About which, scholars for centuries have been re-echoing the title of this thread, WTF??
Might be too late for Xmas, but one of the games at http://www.cheapass.com is bound to be a hit. I've played 'Kill Doctor Lucky' and hear that the card games 'Agora' and 'LightSpeed' are both good. Best is, as the name promises, they won't break the bank. (Please tell me you aren't asking about computer games.)
When are we going to get decent working SVG support for Mozilla (and Phoenix) in X then?
Adobe has a new SVG viewer plugin in beta. Currently, only Win32 versions are available, but the lead developer said on the SVG-dev list that they build and test for OSX and Linux. Unlike ASV3, this works fine with current Mozilla/Firebird, but its scripting can't talk to the browser or to the other documents the browser displays.
For my work with SVG, this doesn't matter, but if you want, e.g. your javascripted html to control your SVG, or for one SVG doc. to control another, then it's a problem.
Executive summary: the glass will be 3/4 full for Moz. and for Linux in a short while.
http://www.tinyline.com provides a viewer for Nokia series 60 MIDP, a 2D Graphics implementation for creating SVG Tiny docs and other cool stuff. The guy behind it is very fun to chat with, too. Cut and paste the link if you're interested.
Don't forget that the Batik SVG toolkit includes a Java Graphics2D class that outputs to SVG. This means roughly that any class that draws stuff to the screen can be quickly tweaked to draw the same stuff to SVG. If you find a pleasing Java graphing package whose source is open, you could use it to make SVG graphs on the server. (I assume when you claim that java is slow, you are referring to client startup or something.) Just remember to gzip the output stream because svgz documents are about 20-30% the size of their svg equivalent.
Finally, it should be noted that the upcoming Adobe SVG Viewer 6 (available now in beta plays nice with Mozilla / Netscape 7. (Although a win32 binary only is provided, the team at Adobe stated that they are building for Linux and OS X, too.) Assuming ASV6 will be out by the time your project is done, platform breadth isn't a problem for you.
I believe this is right, which is why I've installed Alice on our family computer to seduce youngsters into programming. What's cooler than an interactive 3D modelling environment?
Alas, it only runs on Win32 right now, but they are looking for collaborators to beef up their Mac and Linux prototypes. This would be very worthy work for folks looking to test their 3D programming chops.

Help out my ham-radio-operator level of confusion here.
How can a conductor carry 1*10^6 amps while still having some level of resistance (and, presumably, no heat-sink)? I'm thinking of P = IR^2
where, with I reeeally big, P is going to get out of hand for a tiny nanotube unless R is reeeally small.
Phoenix is a lightweight and fast browser, so it's ideal for boxes built around the last generation of processors, like K2s, Pentium Pros, etc. (Or is that the generation before last?)
The bummer is that both milestone and daily builds are -i686 binaries. Someone else filed a bugzilla ticket on this in December. I guess we can just vote for it and hope that the mozilla.org folks find the time to do a -i586 build, too.
Shouldn't SAX-based tools *not* have to load the entire thing into memory?
Bray's paper appears to express a strong preference for an XML that would work well with ?standard regex tools. In it he says, "If I use any of the perl+XML machinery, it wants me either to let it read the whole thing and build a structure in memory, or go to a callback interface." And then it adds that callback "is sufficiently non-idiomatic and awkward that I'd rather just live in regexp-land."
This, in turn, seems to be based on an article linked to in Bray and advocating the same thing.
It seems to me that to convince the larger world that this is necessary, some other options would have to be excluded. Aren't regexs of some sort going to be in v. 2 of XSLT? None of its successful implementations require loading the document into memory, and it nicely magics away the namespace kerfuffle that Gregorio's examples illustrate.
What I took away from the article was considerable amazement that one of the markup luminaries uses such low-level tools to process XML.
Precision-guided bombs made up nine per cent of the weapons dropped in the Gulf War. This time, the figure would be well in excess of 60 per cent, allowing more effective bombing with fewer total aircraft, officials say.
Taken from a useful set of articles over at CBC News, including one on new weapons which mentions the microwave bomb. CBC's reporting tends to be less enthusiastic about things military.
Your second point is a good one: I need something to keep those index fingers properly located. It seems to me, though, that a 70mm square patch with reusable adhesive on one side and a rough surface on the other would do the trick nicely. You'd stick them where the 'f' and 'j' keys are projected. 3M would give away six of them with the keyboard dealy; to buy more you'd go to Office Depot and pay through the nose:-)
Its Gnome 2 terminal can deal with any truetype unicode font, even those that are proportionally spaced such as the luscious, but now under-wraps, 'Arial Unicode MS'. RH 8's vim is also unicode savvy.
uses Cocoon2 as a web-publication engine. The Norm Walsh xslt sheets are your best general-purpose transformation, but they sometimes choke on Xalan. This Wiki Page should clear up that problem.
of the ATAPI/IDE to SCSI converter might be when one a) already has a SCSI controller and b) wants to add many additional ATAPI devices to the machine. A SCSI chain can comprise many more devices than your usual 2 and 2 on an IDE controller. Furthermore, one might hope that the SCSI converter would keep the ATAPI/IDE device nicely saturated regardless of system activity. Perhaps a CD copying station would benefit from this arrangement.
Nevertheless, when it comes to hard drives, the basic performance of the drive itself will be a limiting factor. I doubt your IDE drive will suddenly get a boost in performance, though it would be neat to see some Bonnie++ results to confirm this.
As for the SCSI controller, does anyone have any experience with these? Its a fair bit cheaper than the equivalent Adaptec model. After putting SCSI in my Linux workstation at work, I'm hooked on it: what's not to like about cutting compile times by 50%? Maybe I could get SCSI at home if this controller is the real deal.
10,000 disks at 99 cents per in my books would be a worse way to make a living than my day job which, if you follow the link from my nick, you will find consists in teaching ancient history to fantastic university students and researching computing and history. Still, if they don't give me tenure it might make a good backup plan:-)
Sure enough, they've got an audio archive. Best thing is, individual interviews are downloadable mp3s or oggs. (Check out the 'what's an ogg' link beside each of the latter!)
Using the Wayback machine trick outlined above, I was able to get a copy of the original ariuni.exe file. Below is the EULA, which is written as a supplement to that of applicable software. The definition of the latter includes "Microsoft Office" (no version specified), whereas the MS website now stipulates that the font is for Publisher 2000 users only.
Thus, to expand on my comments above, there is an even more dire need for a OS'd and free prorportional TrueType (or better) font with as broad a unicode coverage as possible.
The only alternative I know of is Cyberbit; Bitstream's website says it is now a commerical font, but you can download it from netscape's ftp site.

IMPORTANT: READ CAREFULLY - These Microsoft software product components, including any "online" or electronic documentation ("Components") are subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement under which you have licensed the applicable Microsoft product ("Product") described below (each an "End User License Agreement" or "EULA") and the terms and conditions of this Supplemental EULA.....

What's being overlooked here, but is of at least as great importance, is MS's concurrent withdrawl of Arial Unicode MS, a 27 Mb unicode font with an unequalled combination of beauty and coverage that Cyberbit can't touch. Ancient Greek, for instance, looks great in arialuni, and with it installed, Mozilla would be sure to render just about any unicode encountered. This page provides mandrake rpms for it.
In light of the observations above on the Georgia et al. EULA, does anyone have the EULA for arialuni? Perhaps it was offered on the web with similar terms.
... something I would definitely appreciate on RedHat, when used for things like webservers and CVS servers (for file servers I'm just fine with ext3 though)
glwtta, could you elaborate on this preference or point out a link or two that would explain reiserFS's superiority in the webserver/CVS department?
Don't overlook active participation in an existing, well-conceived project. I've mentioned my Historical Event Markup and Linking Project here on/. before. Our system's generation of SVG maps and timelines
is wonderfully internationalized
in order to apply to as many disciplines as possible;
my partners and I hope it will get widely used at this early stage so that peer criticism will direct its adolescence.
Strong projects using existing technology will exploit the network's ability to deliver to, and collect from, anywhere. For instance, your older faculty in archaeology, Classics, Religious Studies, etc. probably have thousands of excellent slides under their own copyright that they really hope will not disappear after they retire. A local, web-based catalogue of these would be a treasure-trove to new faculty and might even be a selling point in the increasingly competitive market for academics.

Very exciting stuff: one of the flight engineers shouts 'GO!' with such palpable joy. Thirty years later and I'm still one of the guys "turning blue."
This document could be all the more interesting and useful if it were marked up with SMIL. Using this, we could synchronize the display of a transcript, including the names of all the speakers. Last fall at the Virginia Center for Digital History I saw a demo of a similar treatment of some audio surrounding Kennedy's administration and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
