Kinda off topic... But still cant find a solution.
I studiosly use bash on AIX, HPUX, Solaris ( at work ) and on Linux (at home).
When I telnet to any of these unix boxes Bash craps out, at the end of the page and end of line. It starts wrapping around what I type and over previous lines as the line starts to wrap. I cant even see what I'm typing.
ZSH fortunately does not have such issues. However zsh is not prevalently used on all the boxes I log on to..
My First (and Last) Time With Bill O'Reilly by David Cole
Print this article E-mail this article Write to the editors Take Action Now! I t started innocuously enough. On Monday, June 21, a producer from Fox News's The O'Reilly Factor called to ask me to appear as a guest that evening to comment on a front-page story in the New York Times claiming that the Bush Administration had overstated the value of intelligence gained at Guantánamo and the dangers posed by the men detained there. I'm generally not a fan of shout-television, and I had declined several prior invitations to appear on O'Reilly's show, but this time I said yes. Little did I know it would not only be my first time, but also my last.
I sat in the Washington studio as the taping of the show began in New York with a rant from Bill O'Reilly. He claimed that "the Factor" had established the link between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein, and then played a clip from Thomas Kean, head of the Senate's 9/11 Commission, in which Kean said, "There is no evidence that we can find whatsoever that Iraq or Saddam Hussein participated in any way in attacks on the United States, in other words, on 9/11. What we do say, however, is there were contacts between Iraq and Saddam Hussein. Iraq, Saddam--excuse me. Al Qaeda."
ADVERTISEMENT I was impressed. O'Reilly, who had announced his show as the "No Spin Zone," was actually playing a balanced soundbite, one that accurately reported the commission's findings both that there was no evidence linking Saddam and 9/11, and that there was some evidence of contacts (if no "collaborative relationship") between Saddam and Al Qaeda. Maybe all those nasty things Al Franken had said about O'Reilly weren't true after all.
But suddenly O'Reilly interrupted, plainly angry, and said, "We can't use that.... We need to redo the whole thing." Three minutes of silence later, the show began again, with O'Reilly re-recording the introduction verbatim. Except this time, when he got to the part about Kean, he played no tape, and simply paraphrased Kean as confirming that "definitely there was a connection between Saddam and Al Qaeda." The part about no link to 9/11 was left on the cutting-room floor.
Now it was my turn. O'Reilly introduced the segment by complaining that we are at war and need to be united, but that newspapers like the New York Times are running biased stories, dividing the country and aiding the enemy. "The spin must stop--our lives depend on it," O'Reilly gravely intoned. He then characterized the Times story that day as claiming that the Guantánamo detainees were "innocent people" and "harmless." He said the paper's article "questions holding the detainees at Guantánamo."
I noted that the Times had said nothing of the sort. And I pointed out that the article relied on a CIA study finding that the detainees seemed to be low-level and had provided little valuable intelligence.
That didn't convince O'Reilly, however, who again criticized the Times for misleading its readers by terming the detainees innocent and not dangerous. I replied that he was misleading his own viewers, by exaggerating what the Times had said. "No, I'm not," he retorted. So far, the usual fare on newstalk television.
But then I decided to go one step further: "It seems to me like the pot calling the kettle black, Bill, because I just sat here five minutes ago as you re-recorded the introduction to this show to take out a statement from the head of the 9/11 commission stating that there was no evidence of a link between Saddam Hussein and 9/11."
Apparently O'Reilly does not like being called "the pot." He exploded, repeatedly called me an "S.O.B." and assured me that he would cut my accusation from the interview when the show aired. He also said I would "never ever" be on his show again. At this point, I wasn't sure whether to take that as a threat or a promise.
You could do a / and search to search text anywhere in firefox. Also you can just start typing and it would search just the links. No more Ctrl+F (open a search window ) business.
Also you can do Ctrl+G and find subsequent matches.
The matches themselves are intelligent and find the closest matching text.
For a moment I thought you were serious, as I read the first 2 lines of your post... I felt this venom building up inside me. They I saw, you thread was maked funny. What a relief.
My current CRT TV will last that long... I have long wanted to buy a projection, then a plasma and now LCD. Right when I am convinced I can put down the money something new comes along.
For years linux guys have been using gpg to sign/encrypt their email. One could generate a private key/public key and submit their public key to the publicly available key rings. Also people can sign off on other keys forming "TRUSTED" networks.
We might see this patended my M$ one of these days...
The first job that I worked for, in India, back in 1997-98, was a big M$ shop. We worked on C/C++/Win32SDK/VC++/MFC/COM. I used to be treated as the villain around the office, because I was the only Linux evangelist. I had to sneak in one 486 and run a seperate domain for the few linux lovers there.
Last week I had a chance to run into my previous project manager, and he was telling me that they went completely Linux. The organisation grew from a group of 40 programmers to 250 dudes. The only reason for this is, with the recent M$ licensing policy it was impossible to buy so many licenses. Now the whole organization is running RH 9.x and they use it to monitor home security systems and medical automation.
The most important question I would like to ask is "Is the picture there as rosy as painted by the media?"
Indians with their teaming population still have to strive to get into a job. There are lots of layoffs as the markets fluctuates here in US. Bottom line is, there are more jobs now than there were. But they are not easy to get.
From my own personal experience, interviews in India have always been tougher.
If you have a degree, immaterial of what degree, you can get a tech job."
Absolutely false.
Oh wait, if one has a good passing knowledge of English and can be trained to speak 'American', one can do midnight( indian time ) tech support for companies like toysrus, amex..etc.
Yeah. These laptop companies really piss me off. Once during a important meeting my laptops power adapter failed and I had to wait 3 freakin days to get another power adapter. Thank god, I had my personal laptop in my hotel.
Only then after numerous trips to bestbuys did I come to the realization that all power adapters are made differently. They dont work with each other. There are no ( as far as I know ) companies making these things.
Talk about locking out competition =(
Besides Debian, What distros have 2.6.x ?

Sure enough, when The O'Reilly Factor aired l
I am never convinced with this argument. "If you are innocent, what do you have to hide ?"
Oh wait... are you really Ann Coulter. I cant believe it. This wont be the first time that would have disagreed with you either.
I am both enraged and impressed after reading all the links.
I wonder why nobody found this interesting.

Use fluxbox/blackbox with all your favourite apps from gnome/kde all keybound using bbkeys. The desktop will work like greased light ! tis what I do !
Just when I thought I can listen to the Universe... you go and slashdot it...
grrr...

Oh well, now that oled is here, I'll forget lcd

Some receivers like the Denon 3802 and upwards, are aware of these issues. They allow you to dial in delay so that you can sync with TV.
...
Just my 2 cents
No kidding ! I didnt notice the Bb Bb Bb (60hz) hum produced by my desktop till I read this post !!!
Is there a way to convert quicktime movs to mpegs in Linux. I know could buy software to do this in Windows.
Just wondering, coz this would help me convert all my MOVs from my digital camera to VCD/DVDs !!

Aint no pussy. Not often do you have enough space for compilers and devel rpms.
Whats wrong with just being an end user and not a pussy ?
This has been asked before , but I' asking it again ?
Where are the Mandrake rpms ? For us folks who have powerless laptops, compiling is not an option.
I only hope somebody will build it sooner or later.
Yes, I know, 10.x betas have 3.2 beta, but they just wont install fine.
I heard news all afternoon, at lunch, on CNN and MSNBC and didnt see a thing about this mentioned.
However its still the first artice on the Boston Globe website.
This is shocking and disappointing.
Will the real EZEZ, please stand up ?
Just want to know if you are a SCO-in-sheeps clothing !!!
