    None of the MX's for hotmail are in the passport domain, so no mail should have bounced however long the domain remained unavailable.

    Unsung indeed, I don't even know who three of em are... (2,4&5)

    So for all other like me, here some short bio's.

    Alan Cox (not spelled Allen Cox) is a primary author of the
    linux networking stack, and generally does alot of work for
    Linux in a variety of different areas, from suggesting changes
    to VNC, to the MMU-less palm-pilot Linux port, to the gnome
    project. He is one of the most brilliant Linux developers I know,
    and has been the most helpful in enabling me to do my own
    Linux development (primarily in the area of PPP, L2TP, and
    Multilink PPP). By being brilliant, helpful, approachable, and
    available, he ...



    David Dawes was a PhD student in Theoretical Physics when he started playing around with X source code. He is still working in the
    same place, at the School of Physics, Sydney Uni, although now he is the Network Administrator. He works on XFree86 in his spare
    time.

    Did quite a lot of network drivers for linux. Most of the drivers for 3com cards are his.

    Hawaiian born, he is one of the big cheeses in the Free BSD
    project. He was one of the original founders, as well as the
    release coordinator. He lives with 14 cats and works at
    Walnut Creek CD-ROM. [14 Cats? That makes him cool by me!]

    Brian Paul is the original author of the mesa3d library. (No, it isn't called mesagl! No! Bad neuron!)


    I couldn't find out who abstain was, does anybody know?


    Sorry that some of the bios are short/incomplete, I either didn't know, didn't care or didn't have the time. Pick any three.

  12. Re:Truth and Effects on New Antiviral May Cure Common Cold · · Score: 2

    1) You claim you want evolution. But you don't want any casualities... the only way of doing that is stopping the weaker specimens from reproducing. (Wait, don't we have the internet for that? :-). And somehow I doubt the common cold is going to seriously stop someone from reproducing. Personally, I say bugger evolution, let's all get extinct. It doesn't matter for us personally, and it's nice for the conscience...

    2) Yes, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't use it. Using it doesn't harm anyone without antibiotics. And, as the AC said, antibiotics only work against micro-organisms...

    Hmmm, you seemed so happy with it I decided to try it too... Pretty cool stuf indeed. I'm sticking with w3m in text mode too.... One slight minus is that it ignores $EDITOR, and starts vi for editing textfields... I'm typing this in vi now, and what to get back to my jed. If you're reading this, :w is the way to store changes and quit...

    Hmmm, that just saved... Well, I can try :q now, everything should be saved with :w...

    1) Why? It seems to clash with what we call ethics. Kill all those that are born with disabilities? Let's just say some people may object.

    2) Why? Who says we can't keep up with evolution? Germs became resistant to antibiotics, but that doesn't mean we're worse of than before we had antibiotics.

    3) Argh. What, the human brain runs IIS? ARGH.

    The people who provide them could of course cut of the feed entirely, but @home would take their business elsewhere. It's impossible to stop them from getting a newsfeed from someone, as long as one person is prepared to give them a feed. However, if only one admin is prepared to carry their articles, that means that the rest of the internet never sees their messages.
