I have found that an AIM chatroom will not accept certain URLs. It eats any message containing something it doesn't like. One notable example is anything from theonion.com. None of the URLs that trigger this behabior make any kind of sense to me. If you run any of the banned links through tinyurl, it is allowed through.
A direct IM of the problem link outside the chatroom will make it through just fine.
I use Debian for any server systems I can. I've wanted to try Gentoo, but my spare hardware is all very old and slow, so inertia keeps me on Debian.
In the current stable release of Debian (sarge), the nagios-nrpe-plugin package does indeed depend on the actual nagios program, which through other dependencies, requires a webserver. Considering the massive number of packages in Debian, it's amazing there aren't more stupid problems like this.
On the testing and unstable versions, the dependency on nagios has become a recommendation, so this is no longer a problem. Gentoo would be a way around the problem without running whatever risks are inherent in the testing and unstable distributions.
I believe Eudora would cost you about $50 if you're not upgrading a previous purchase. The newest version (4.3.1) gives you options... 1) a feature-limited free mode. 2) a fully-functional "sponsored" mode - it downloads ads that display in the window. 3) paid mode - send money, get all the features without the ads. I remember when I first bought Eudora (3.0) that the PGP program was there, but it doesn't seem to be available as an option in my current version. That may be because I downloaded the upgrade.
Microsoft has been planning this for some time. One of the primary requirements when the "Designed for Windows 95" Logo came out was that the software run without modification on Windows NT, unless it was a low-level, OS-specific program like Norton Utilities.
For the latest gnome and enlightenment for slink, add the following to/etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://www.debian.org/~jim/debian-gtk-gnome/gnome- stage-slink unstable main
The same thing for potato is accomplished with:
deb http://www.debian.org/~jim/debian-gtk-gnome/gnome- stage-2 unstable main
To get back to loading Windows: In addition to FDISK/MBR, make sure that your Windows C: drive is marked active in FDISK. You'll still boot Linux if your Debian partition is marked active instead.

A fact of life about computer systems is that if someone with malicious intent has physical access to the machine at all when you're not looking, the system is not secure. There are extra precautions, like BIOS passwords, case locks, keyboard locks, measures to prevent access to single-user mode, etc... but you run the risk of being unable to access your own computer system if you forget passwords.
The only advantage that someone with the source code has is this: they can come up with their destructive ideas on their own, instead of getting a pr3-p4ck4g3d pr0gr4m from someone else.

This would only be with old ports. With the newer EPP and ECP ports, I believe the limit has been raised to about 2 megabits.
