Amen, Brother XanC. KMail rocks the house. And it makes using gpg encryption a sweet happy dreamland. And it uses a mailbox format compatible with VM. I am eager for KDE/Win32 just so that I can use KMail on Win32 instead of putty/xemacs/vm/mailcrypt, which I would rather reserve for the rare analog modem login.
Firstly, it seems very odd to be moving development from unix to windows. Unix is designed for development. Windows is not. I would seriously take a look at your reasons for doing this.
Secondly, it would be a very rare and odd thing for your unix code not to be easily portable to the Windows environment. Cygwin is for that.

SNMP is open. It's an open sore. A morass of absurdly irrelevant abstractions knotted together so as to make a correct implementation effectively impossible. SNMP just doesn't work, as devices and software from Cisco, Juniper, HP, Sun, demonstrate on a daily basis for thousands of network professionals around the world. It is closed in the sense that any actual deployment depends on the dark-matter morass of proprietary MIBs using non-standard datatypes and proprietary extensions.
SNMP must die. This is NOT the solution, however. SOAP is not the correct vehicle for NMS traffic. The correct vehicle is XMPP.
How is that Ironic? And why do you think that he votes pro-life because of his religious sensibilities?
I think most people who vote pro-life do it for one of two reasons independent of religious sensibility: Either they want the government to protect the weak, because they don't want to live in fear for their own lives and the lives of their less able loved ones, or they regard killing people as morally repugnant. Admittedly, moral repugnance for killing is often derived from a religious belief, but it's not by any means restricted to people with identifiable religious affiliations.
I don't think its in any way inconsistent to want the state to protect both life AND liberty. The two goals might at some point come into conflict, but I have never seen it happen in practice.
Exactly how does Peroutka fail to do the separation of church and state? As a principled constitutionalist, he can be trusted to protect, defend, and enforce the constitutional proscription against establishment of a church by the state. Personally, I'm quite comfortable with that. I'm sure he's offensive to the reactionary antichristians, but to atheists, muslims, and jews who believe that document, genuously applied, is their best defense against a right-wing Christian dominion, Petrouka is *exactly* the kind of right-wing Christian they would like to see in power.
Evidently the concept of using valid logical arguments to derive conclusions from premises is beyond your ken. If so, then, yes, we have no need to argue. Indeed, to do so would be a quixotic effort. You might like to take a basic course in the foundations of mathematics and formal logic sometime. It would open new horizons for you.
More than two. I live in Minnesota, and we'd like to form a nation with Manitoba, eastern North and South Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan and northern Iowa. We'd be willing to federally partner with Idaho/Montana/Wyoming/Saskatchewan/Alberta/western -Dakotas/Colorado/Nebraska/Kansas and with the great state of southern-Iowa/Illinois/Indiana/Ohio/Missouri/Kansa s/Nebraska, but those dirty New-England-Eastern-Seaboard-Ontarioans will have to crawl through razor wire to visit.
When the problem IS the government, e.g. the "war", or loss of civil liberties (USAPATRIOT, DMCA, et filia) and democratic responsibility (loss of FOIA transparency), yeah, then the solution is less government.
It's kind a funny to hear a guy who has done nothing of any substance to deter infanticide, and killed about 50,000 people outright referred to as "pro-life".

every argument which is valid "assumes the conclusion", implicitly in its premises. if it did not, it would not be possible to derive the conclusion from those premises. that is not a criticism.
therefore, those arguments from first cause which do not fall into the first category remain unimpugned.
as regards denying the premise, i infer from your earlier post that you are referring to the implication of regress in cause. but any argument which holds that the first cause is outside of the (partially-)ordered set which is the domain of the regress does not imply an infinite regress, and is thus immune to your criticism.
if you ask what caused the first cause, you make a category mistake. temporal causality does not apply to a factor or agency which has no temporal evolution.
You must mean that you can see through the holes in the straw man that you devised.
If you're going to criticize an argument, and your correspondent has not specified a form, you should either criticize the state-of-the-art form of the argument, or demonstrate the relationship between your criticism and the categories into which fall the various contemporary forms of the argument.
Not doing so in a slashdot post is quite sensible, but taking the low road and tearing down a straw man does no service to your viewpoint.

You can't wear a uniform to an undercover drug bust, because then people would understand what an evil thing you were trying to do, and stop you.
EVERY time the government invokes security to excuse the antidemocratic practice of government secrecy, it is because what they are doing is evil, and they know it. Sometimes it's legal, and sometimes it's illegal, but it's still evil.
Actually, undercover (meaning, without responsibility) police work is antipathetic to a secure society. It creates a police state, and in a police state there is no security for anyone, not even the police.
> should have their personal information shared too
And they do. Having been arrested and imprisoned en masse for exercising their rights to peacable assembly, their personal information is a matter of public record.
Idea that people who have positions of *public responsibility* are the ruling class and therefore exempt from the norms and standards that apply to us *little people*, such as being tracked by our enemies in databases containing private information, is pernicious, antipathetic to democracy, and morally absurd.
Nah. Anti-abortion groups like MCCCL could post that stuff and get away with it. Nuremberg files couldn't though, because it was very directly implying that they were naming people who required punishment on the model of the Nuremberg tribunals -- where folks were hung for crimes such as waging a pre-emptive war.
