But is there a way to get some nice, printable output from DocBook? It can export to something similar to TeX which you can compile to PostScript with jadetex, but it looks pretty much as if it was written in MS Word---the margins are too small; the font is some ugly kind of Times etc.
What I would like is a way to convert a DocBook document into a nicely formatted LaTeX document. Is it possible?
By the way, why does/. strip HTML entities such as —?
NAT is the wrong solution to an artificial problem and has to go away, because it breaks point-to-point connectivity, which is a necessity if you want to use the Internet the way it was intended. Instead of using NAT you should bug your ISP to give you more addresses.
While you're at it you should ask them for an IPv6 address block as well. They will never start rolling it out unless they know there is customer demand.
* which is a different Ask Slashdot: why is there no version 4 of so many things? No DX4, No Palm 4, no Voodoo 4, no Borland C++ Builder 4... all skipped straight to 5... go figure
Obviously it all began with Larry's being to drunk to remember whatever happened in episode four.
how come we don't have a female mascot around
here, anyway? What do Tux, Beastie, and Hexley
go home to at night?
I dunno about those other guys, but Tux goes home to Gown.
Maybe the satellite has special shielding or something, but there's enough wired connections down here on the ground that you can probably, for the most part, only use wireless to get a couple miles to the base station/cell tower/802.3 (# correct?) hub.
Thats IEEE 802.11b (aka wavelan) you're thinking about. IEEE 802.3 is Ethernet, IIRC. And what you call a hub is normally refered to as an access point, although they are similar in function. They're not equivalent, though, even if you don't count the wireless part (duh!). Access points usually include a router and nifty features such as NAT and DHCP.

So, does anyone know how I could get my hands on one of these units living outside of the United States (in Stockholm, Sweden, to be more precise)? Is anyone of you US residents interested in selling me a couple for, say, $125 each?

You'd be using glibc for sure.

Is anyone aware of what rules apply in various parts of Europe?
How can something be exponentially more than something else? Do you know what exponential means? Take a hint!
This article (with identical wording) has been posted before and should be moderated accordingly.

I, for one, won't miss the EMBED tag. I'd also
be willing to go without IFRAME, MARQUEE, and
BLINK.
The blink element is already gone.

Mine does, if I want it to. It's a Sony SA3ES.
