A useful thing to do (although in no way a solution) if you need a backup MX and can't use exactly the same rules on one as the other, is to set up priorities as such:
10 primary 20 backup 30 primary
This way, if spammers prefer the highest MX, which they are known to do, you get all the benefit of the filtering on the primary, as well as backup if the primary goes down.
Here's my #1 Windows networking complaint, which still doesn't seem to be fixed in Vista (and I'd love a workaround for). You have a C, D and E drive locally. You map a network files drive F with 'net use' or the GUI.
You then plug in a USB hard drive. Windows assigns the drive F, and you can't access it unless you change its drive letter in Computer Management.
Why? It's not like it doesn't know there is something using that letter...

I remember rushing to try XGL and Compiz the day they were released, and getting nowhere. About a week later the smart people who do such things had figured it out, and I was able to run it, but it was still pretty 'hardcore' and prone to breakage. About three weeks later it was simple.
Don't upgrade on the first day and expect things to go smoothly. You can only be as good as your last RC, and not enough people upgrade them to be able to find all the bugs. Wait a week and then answers will have been found for all the common problems.
Open source is crying out for more QA people. All you have to do is report a bug, or help by triaging the bugs that are there. It's a contribution that almost anyone can make.
I would think that over the longterm Oracle's Unbreakable Linux will fork off, especially if this ends up seriously damaging RedHat, but for now Unbreakable Linux is nothing more than a re-branded copy of RedHat.
Dystopian future: because Unbreakable Linux is built off RHEL (like CentOS is), Red Hat lose (some/half/all) of their support customers to Unbreakable, can't afford to keep producing RHEL, and Oracle base future versions of Unbreakable on what, now?
Jim Gettys has written a rebuttal in his blog. To summarise, the low power nature (and being able to forward packages while the machine is off) is more important, and they are sponsoring development of an open source firmware.
Everything in this makes sense. Someone wants to see if the license fits the criteria, so they submit it. No malice. The OSI report that they require the owner/licence author to submit it - with good reason, no malice. They contact Microsoft, who, according to the article, say "We aren't going to report anything to the OSI while they still align themselves with the Halloween documents", and point out that they reflect the state of the company some years ago. If they are trying to change, which submission of an licence to OSI surely should be recognised as a step towards, then they deserve an (official) break from their past.
They're not asking for the documents to be erased from history, just a very anti-Microsoft link removed from the OSI President's web site.
Is there a way to give people local administrator access, which is required to have the broken applications they depend on, work; and still block them from installing software?
Originally, Buys says, the videos were encoded in QuickTime H.264, but "thanks to the feedback form [on the site] I quickly learned that this was far from optimal." Flash video seemed a good choice, except the software he was using to encode the video produced Flash that didn't work in Linux. "I received emails asking for Ogg-Theora videos, so I converted all the original QuickTime videos." Now, he installs the distribution of choice in Parallels Workstation on Windows and captures the virtual machine in proprietary Camtasia. "I've been looking for an open source replacement, but I have not found anything that provides the same level of functionality," Buys says. After the Camtasia capture, he exports the video first as Flash and then as a.mov file. "[I] convert the.mov to Ogg-Theora with ffmpeg2theora, then upload all the files to the server."
In this case, I think it was because (a) jdub liked it (b) they wanted to imply 'polished' with dapper, and 'willing to take a few more risks' with edgy.
Segoe UI is a ripoff of Frutiger Next. Frutiger Next is an upgrade of Frutiger. Adrian Frutiger created the Frutiger typeface by updating the typeface he created for Orly Airport..: Windows Vista - O RLY?
I want to enjoy the show, while I'm there; knowing you have to be really quiet with a recording device is bad enough without having to hold it in front of you for the entire show. Plus, it attracts a lot more attention and might get you kicked out. Thanks for the suggestion though!
On a related note, I'd like to buy a setup for 'surreptitious audio recording', namely recording of shows by artists that have an open trading policy, but who don't let you waltz in with a microphone stand. I tried this on minidisc once but having to change discs was annoying and battery life was bad.
Is MD still the way to go? Is there a good digital audio recorder out there? What sort of microphone should I get?
And what it says is "the boxed product will slip into Jan 2007; the MSDN/volume license rollout is still on track". This makes sense. It implies to me it will still be available to PC manufacturers to put on their PCs in November, if they want to.

in a Unix system it's more complicated, for i in *.jpeg; do mv $i `echo $i | sed s/jpeg$/jpg/ - ` ; done or something like that would do it
Even easier: rename s/jpeg/jpg/ *.jpeg
(A very handy utility that comes with perl.)

Be careful with that.
On Trade Me, which is New Zealand's primary online auction site, they'll pull auctions where your friends have legitimately bid on them.

You can use Kickstart on Ubuntu, or you can use Ubuntu's automatic installation (preseeding debian-installer), which is much more powerful, and lets you configure pretty much anything you want at install time.

Novell NetMail has been open-sourced (and largely superceded) by the Hula Project.
The web interface is one of the key improvements over NetMail.

I very much doubt that. I'm in UTC+12, so I'm probably at least 18 hours ahead ;)

You're welcome, but they are not my packages - I just found and published the link.
Breezy Badger packages version 7667 of the NVidia drivers. It is Dapper Drake that you might have to worry about.
Ubuntu Breezy packages for MythTV can be found at http://deb.thehunter.ws/. Huge thanks to those Drunken Caffeinated Monkeys.
