As an aside, I'd appreciate iTunes letting me easily select blocks of music I could keep in the same order, even when listening to randomized music. "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" should always be followed by "With a Little Help from My Friends" (and maybe the album's entirety). I stumbled across this yesterday, and I haven't had a chance to try it out personally.
Maybe put the songs you want played together in the same grouping, then change your shuffle preferences to shuffle by grouping?
SSL certs can be used for IMAP/SMTP, and clients such as the SnapperMail for the Palm only support verisign/thawte as a CA. I couldn't install a different CA. There is an option to trust anyway, but then this opens an attack vector: anyone could create a self-signed cert and claim it as the original server. This was a year or so ago, it may have changed by now.
I'm pretty sure the web client on the Treos are the same way.
It's not true that Japan always gets the toys first...The Nintendo DS was released in the US before Japan. They did this so they can catch the US's Thanksgiving buying rush for Christmas. They released it in Japan on Dec. 02.
My personal theory on the tech deficit: Americans are cheap, and Japanese have more disposable income, because owning a home is nearly impossible versus renting. I have no numbers to back that up, though.:)
BTW, if you want to see how commercial Christmas can become, visit Japan in December. You can't avoid the Christmas lights, music, and sales, even though the population is less than 1% Christian.
I had a HFS+ partitioned drive start going bad on me (clicking very noisly). I determined that the disk couldn't read one of the first few sectors, but could read most of the drive just fine.
I used dd to try to copy the drive, and got about 20gb out of 30gb of the drive, then the drive completely died.
I tried to use a few disk recovery utilities on the web, to no avail. I found out that there's only two Master Directory Blocks, one at block 2, one at the next to last block. I had lost both.
If I had done my research, I should have pulled the MDB first, and then tried to get the rest of the data. Instead, I have 20gb of garbage. A data recovery company might be able to pull files from the data I have, but I gave up at this point.
I was inthe Windows 95 preview program, and in the MSN beta. I think I stayed with them for a couple months after that.
Fast forward about seven years. I've had at least seven different mailing addresses since then. I get a letter saying that I was a valued customer and they wanted me to try their newest version.
It's pretty obvious that MSN has never purged their databases.
If you want something even more subtle...try gaelic. All the letters match, and the numbers are unshifted. It gets fun when you need to use symbols.
For a Windows shop:
Make sure to turn off the "enable indicator on toolbar".
Add Gaelic as the keyboard language, so you have two input locales.
Set "Switch between input locales" to whichever is more common for the user. Unfortunately, you can only choose between left alt+shift or ctrl+shift.
Unfortunately, it may take a while before the user hits the magic sequence...so you may want to just change it to gaelic to start out with. When they ask you to take a look at it, hit the change locale hot-key, and say that everything's fine. Right before you leave, change locales again.
Many years ago, in my communications class in high school, somebody presented this article (or a similiar one) as fact. Nobody else in the class, including the teacher and the person presenting the article, caught on to what dihydrogen monoxide was. This is the sad state of public education in Conway, Arkansas.
If the traveller is using webmail, it works fine. Otherwise, the traveller needs to use SMTP AUTH to relay outgoing mail through his home base.
Which is fine, until you run into an ISP that redirects SMTP connections to their SMTP server. I had that problem while travelling on business. The hotel's ISP redirected all SMTP requests to their SMTP server, and choked on AUTH. The error I got back was generic, so I thought I had entered my password wrong. The end result I sent a couple of my passwords to an unknown party!
This is why I now use SSL for SMTP; I'll get a security warning before passwords are exchanged.
Yes, iTunes let you burn it on a CD, and then rip from CD to MP3/WAV/AAC/AIFF. In fact, I did this yesterday without even ejecting the CD. When it imports, it even remembers the Artist/Album/Title information.
"Prosumer" line of wireless equipment?

How Stable is WEP?

Somewhat on topic, does anybody know of a prosumer line of wireless equipment, to avoid the problems the original poster has described?
I like what the Linksys line promises, it just doesn't live up to it! I have to constantly reset my WET11 (802.11b bridge), and my WAP11 (Access Point) has horrible performance compared to the BEFW11S4 (Access Point+Router). Not to mention, my WPC11 (laptop wireless card) has horrible range and terrible configuration software on Windows. I've also had one WPC11 and one WCF11 (card flash) die on me.
My biggest beef with them is that they constantly release newer versions of their hardware, and pretty much drop support for the older stuff.
I'm pretty much looking for what linksys has, except software and firmware that works and is usable, and good support. I don't mind paying for what I'm asking.

Apple's Airport line supports IPv6 and 6to4 for those on IPv4.

That only took 10 years to figure out. Either that, or I'm getting senile.
I'd settle for a year in archived stories. All I see is MM/DD.
If memory serves right, wasn't there a time when there wasn't even moderation?
They removed support for the camera adapter in the current generation of iPods, including the Classic. I was quite disappointed with this decission.
Maybe they'll come up with something more elegant, like a simple dock connector to camera cable, instead of an attachment.
A good tip in the article is check your audience!

What is the UI being used? Is the EXP/HK bar up top part of the same UI, or an add-on?

Every Sprint Store I've been to had working models. Not those little kiosks in the mall, but brick & mortar stores. A link to their store locator.

That one in Dulles is a decoy. The real one is in my closet.

I can save you the 30 cents. You can use a CD-RW to record and rip the tracks from iTunes.

Where can I find mod_rendezvous?
:P It returned no documents. I also couldn't find it on modules.apache.org, unless I'm missing something...
And yes, I checked google.
The way I read the headline, "OpenSSH Gets Even More Suspicious", it sounded like we're supposed to be more suspicious of OpenSSH.
:P
What has the world come to, where we can't even trust OpenSSH?
Oh, OpenSSH is more suspicious of its environment! That makes more sense!
See the GNU GPL FAQ, they have an answer for this type of situation.
