  3. Re:You'd think.. on Microsoft Forgets To Renew Hotmail.co.uk · · Score: 4, Interesting
    You'd think that Microsoft would be bright enough to give hotmail.co.uk an MX record so that it actually works.

    The present situation:
    • User enters hotmail.co.uk into browser and it redirects to hotmail.com.
    • User believes that their e-mail address is bleh@hotmail.co.uk and tells people so.
    • Person sends e-mail to bleh@hotmail.co.uk and it bounces.


    Bit annoying.

    hotmail.co.uk doesn't have any DNS records ATM...

  7. We wanted a large = 1TB file server... on Secret Irish Data Repository Uncovered · · Score: 2, Informative

    So that's why Linux.ie built a teraserver.

    We wanted a large >= 1TB file server mostly to store backups.

  10. Re: redhat? on KDE 3.1 Released · · Score: 2, Informative
    Yes; clearly it's Red Hat's fault that they didn't include today's release of KDE in a release of Red Hat that came out all the way back in September.

    But they have included a KDE 3.1 snapshot in the latest beta ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/beta/phoebe/ . Tagged as '3.1-0.11 Red Hat'.

    I use tabs like this:
    middle click on a link
    let it load in the background
    watch for the tab having loaded
    go read the tab contents.

    Also, in galeon, 'sessions' and 'open whole folder in tabs' from bookmarks makes reading a large number of sites frequently very simple.
