As long as you remembered to set SSH up before you shipped it, making a shortcut is just editing a text file. Make a script to do what you want, and a shortcut to it on your machine (shortcut in the same window manager as Mom) and then use SSH to connect and set it up. using SSH to tunnel VNC, you can even test it (or build it from scratch there, but it's probably safer to test it locally, in case of catastrophic typos:)
Set the system up to go off if it fails to get a signal for over, say, 5 yours. Then set up a system to send the signal hourly, and leave the country. They start jamming, and BOOM!
but you've got to remember that slack doesn't have to support a small army of people, just Patrick, David, Logan, and Chris. I think he has a better chance of holding on than a company like mandrake, since his overhead is MUCH lower, and his product is (IMHO) better.
Please don't bother flaming me about that statement of opinion, since that's all it is. I prefer the clean simplicity of slack, that's all.
um, it's _Business Week_ The magazine is aimed at people who's primary focus is the bottom line, so of course that's the article's slant.
It's better to present it this way to business than to say 'this is bad for my freedom' cuz (as we know all too well) most businesses care a LOT more about their bottom line than your freedom.
A similar thing happened to me, while trying to install win2K. I started the install, started reading a book, and was startled by the drive slemming open and the disk sailing across the room into my GF's desk.
I'd just chalked it up to my PC's aesthetics being offended by the CD...
um, wait a minute here, how are you going to enforce a fixed IP on people who are changing their MAC address? You do know how DHCP gives leases, right?
You could try limiting based on cable modem ID, instead of the ID of the device behind it, but that could be worked around too...
HTTP_USER_AGENT='"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.01; Windows NT Sucks)"'
I've been sending that header for a long time. OSS browsers are getting a bit more respect lately, but there are still a lot of sites that only accept browsers with knows USER_AGENTs, so we continue to spoof.
You should know better than to believe stats based on unproven data.
Amazingly, no-one seems to have pointed out that GPG is easily integrated into the mail client that, in the words of the author 'just sucks less' -- mutt.

No, it's not GUI, but it's a damned lot easier to use than Outhouse Express, and it SEAMLESSLY integrates GPG.
The funny thing about it is that I have a specific entry in my junkbuster to allow ads from *.slashdot.org, cuz I don't mind supporting slashdot. But I'm sure not going to start allowing doubleclick thru. Net loss in revenue, guys...
One quote stands out: 'This is Linux. It's designed for Intel. '
I think that the kernel developers who work so hard to make linux work on so many different platforms could reasonably be a bit bothered by this statement...
This is a question that I'm surprised not to have seen in this discussion somewhere. Whether this site can turn a profit based solely on banner ads should be a pretty good marker of the viability of them. If any/. staff read this far down the comments, please respond.
And, of course, the obligatory junkbuster plug:/. ads are among the very few that I actually see, since I have ~.*slashdot.org.* in my junkbuster blocklist. I am willing to deal with _targeted_ ads from sites I like...
And add gvim to the list of applications. This problem only appears to happen with the Intellimouse driver 2.2 and when "Universal Scrolling" is turned on.

easy, just bill for your time to undo the damage they did

That'd be a pretty interesting way to time it.

please tell us your domain so I can add it to my filter now

Mutt can do this stuff with mbox, I hardly see that as a reason to add DB complexity...

OK, here's the obligatory junkbuster plug
http://www.junkbusters.com/ijb.html
Sorry, that should read '1000Mb/s'
:)
100Mb isn't really newsworthy, is it
I have 3com 100Mb/s cards in a few machines at work. The driver CDs came with windoze binaries, and linux source. Very stable, too.
I think we need another moderation category:
'poster is a fscking moron'
This will cost the moderator all his/her remaining points, but will make the moderated poster's next 10 posts start at 0 instead of 1
Of course, by the time I finish typing this, the parent will be -1, and I'll be marked OT...
slemming = slamming
must remember to preview (or learn to type)...

This isn't really part of the client, but I feel the need to put a plug in for the procmail-based email cleaner I use.
a il-securit y.html
Blocks everything you want blocked, VERY flexible, just plain good. See the website:

Read my lips: No More Viruses!

Oh, and near-perfect PGP/GPG integration.
And since it's console-based, no work so synchronize mail between work/school/home/...
User-definable headers,
And yes, the IMAP does work with Exchange
HTTP_USER_AGENT='"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.01; Windows NT Sucks)"'
I've been sending that header for a long time.

As I understand it, Salon is in violation too, for publishing the 'circumvention technique'
Come on, where are the paranoid geeks we all know and love.
Everyone knows that junkbuster can be used to fake the referral header...
The link works fine for me, since my referral string reads 'mom' not 'slashdot'
I know there's a 'menace' or 'clone' joke for the above line, but I can't seem to find it...
The funny thing about it is that I have a specific entry in my junkbuster to allow ads from *.slashdot.org, cuz I don't mind supporting slashdot. But I'm sure not going to start allowing doubleclick thru. Net loss in revenue, guys...
can you give more details?
I have a dell inspiron 3800 running 2.4.17 (with APM, not APCI) and have had no lockup issues.
what models/kernels/config have you seen issues with?
One quote stands out:
'This is Linux. It's designed for Intel. '
I think that the kernel developers who work so hard to make linux work on so many different platforms could reasonably be a bit bothered by this statement...

From the help file (I've tried this, it works)
intellimouse wheel problems:
When using the Intellimouse mouse wheel causes Vim to stop accepting input, go to:
ControlPanel
Mouse
Wheel
UniversalScrolling
Exceptions
And add gvim to the list of applications. This problem only appears to happen with the Intellimouse driver 2.2 and when "Universal Scrolling" is turned on.
