So what do you do when someone sends spam to one of these encrypted email addrs? You know exactly where they got it from. Then what? Do you call up the place they got it from ? What stories can you relate from your personal use of it?
thanks

Hmm. A "number of member" implies "not all of the members". So, you're saying that not all of the members of the review team are familiar with a routine network management tools?
Encouraging indeed...
Open letter to Bob:
Dear Bob,
Please describe what computer configuration you use on a daily basis as chairman of the board of RH and (assuming its not windows) what software you have installed to to read mail, surf, view/edit word docs (internally and externally), Word processing in general, presentations, spreadsheets.
What setup does your secretary use?
What do your children use assuming you have kids?
What does your wife use?
The FSF or such should have organized a 15,000$ reward to those who crack the watermark, proove it to FSF and agree to not tell SDMI. And of course pay out anyway if SDMI receives the crack from another source.
As one who bought the 4k$ PFAFF high end hoop machine for my wife, I can tell you these machines are AMAZING works of hardware and mechanics. They're like a very large Rolex. Totally programmable. You can code up patterns in windows and store them on a pcmcia like memory card that plugs into the machine. Then clip up the fabric and watch the thing sew the exact pattern perfectly. I've wanted to digitize a face and translate that into a 4 color pattern then looks photorealistic when embroidered, but haven't had the time. Remember the base color of a piece of thread looks different depending on which way the light hits it and which direction the thread is going across the material. I believe with just a few colors and threads laid down in the right patterns with a precision machine like this, you can get amazing picture quality.
Beyond the embroidery function (the hoop portion), is the basic sewing ability which is breathtaking. the thing moves fabric forward and backward with thousandth of an inch precision, can stick intricate patterns, 2 needles at the same time, through thick leather, yada yada.
Anyway, I took a weekend and satisfied (almost) my engineer lust with the machine, then gave it to my wife. Haven't touched it since....:)
Goddamn right! Why would those idiots write yet another longlived daemon when they can do a simple proc. And if they need it to fire ad hoc, just tack it onto inetd or similar.
My first hand exp with apache itself on SUN is great.
I can tell you I watch apache handling literally a sustained 600 http processes and 80 raw http hits per second all day long (5 to 7 MILLION reqs per day). And it's only burning maybe 3-5% of a dual sparc 450.
I've been through the cross platform C++ GUI library thing twice before. It never works. Its never clean. You never quite get the results you want. The same number of people working on your current product won't be able to magically do the cross platform one no matter how good the GUI abstraction library is. Do it right and perfect. Use the native APIs.
So Carmack describes how Kevin fires a programmer out of spite because he lost an argument/power play and then in the next bloody paragraph he says please send resumes to Kevin. What kind of dumb fuck shit is that? "our boss is an egotistical fuck. if you too want to work for him, send your resume."
Aren't there any websites for sharing/downloading legal live recordings of dave mathews and phish? It'd be alot easier to upload and download to always on bookmarkable websites than to hunt around napster for that stuff and hope you get a connection. ie, for legal music websites that organize and present it are better than napster. And don't argue about getting better bandwidth through napster than websites unless you can point at websites with live DM and live phish and shity bandwidth.
They say they're doing this to stop abusers with auto-scripts etc. But flat out, anyone can tell you the engineering effort to develop and support a proprietary client is far more than the effort to modify their servers to detect/block abuses.
This is probably not as big a deal as it looks. I've been involved in OEM deals. And one thing the initiators of these deals always try to do is get a bi-directional press release. That is, the press release should include quotes from both parties. This release has no quotes from MS. That is significant. It appears vmware merely came in as an ordinary customer and probably paid a big NRE plus revenue share just to bundle windoze like any other customer.

So if they don't use Linux, its bound to fail is that what you're trying to say?
Duh. No. So if they DO use linux it's bound to fail. That's what THEY'RE trying to say.
Napster loses money per month. So a similar deal would mean napster had to pay RIAA for being shutdown.
doesn't support linux so I can't use it.

Write a realserver clone. Just for the music portion can't be too hard compared to other hacks.
Go down to the courthouse in their jurisdiction and look for lawsuits against them.
