The release notes can be found at http://www.gnome.org/start/2.10/notes/rnwhatsn ew.html, and will give you a good idea of what has gone into this release overall. However, a lot of FreeBSD specific additions and fixes have been made. For example, this release offers fixed ACPI support as well as new CPU freqeuncy monitoring support. See the FreeBSD GNOME 2.10 upgrade page at http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/docs/faq210.html for the entire list as well as a list of known issues and upgrade instructions.
GNOME 2.10, as well as all of our releases, would not be possible without the great team that goes into porting and testign each and every component. Thanks definitely goes out to ahze, adamw, bland, kwm, mezz, and pav for all their work. We would also like to thank our adventurous users that chose to ride the walrus. We'd especially like to thank the following users that provided patches for GNOME 2.10:
ade Yasuda Keisuke Franz Klammer Khairil Yusof Radek Kozlowsk
And anyone else I may have accidentally omitted.
As with GNOME 2.8, 2.10 comes with a brand-spankin' new splashscreen courtesy of Franz Klammer. However, unlike GNOME 2.8, we've included all of the FreeBSD GNOME splashscreen entries with gnomesession. You can use the deskutils/splashsetter port to choose the one you like best.
As always, GNOME users should _not_ use portupgrade alone to upgrade to 2.10. Instead, get the gnome_upgrade.sh script from http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/gnome_upgrade.s h (note: you may have to wait for the website to sync before the script is updated for 2.10. You can get the latest version at http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/gnome_upgra de29.sh if you don't want to wait).
Enjoy!

I know that with software patents you have to seed them properly before you can harvest them later, but can somebody explain to me what it is doing on the agenda of the council of agriculture and fisheries?
Interesting that the first two replies (and that are the ones at +1 or higher) promote violence instead of trying to figure out why it happens and how it can be prevented.
I wonder if that are the same people who think that homosexuals should be locked up in jail (males only, females they want to lust on).
probably the only downside is the greylisting delay
Delay, delay, what is delay....
We have set it to 30 seconds (45 maybe, can't be sure), so the second attempt is always working.
For the rest, it's only the first sender/addressee/MX gateway which is delayed, the rest is automatically forwarded.
If you want to know what the real disadvantage is, it is broken windows software which doesn't know the difference between the 450 and the 550 status message: Read my experiences at http://weblog.barnet.com.au/edwin/000081.html.
Since printers are $50,- these days anyways, it's still cheaper to bulk import them from overseas and also get the overseas cartridges while we're at it.

Spammers' Upend DNS
·
· Score: 1
Then why is the article suggesting that spam is bringing DNS to it's knees and the sky is falling?
Because it's the spam which caused us to implement spam-filters and doing all kind of nifty technical solutions against a (anti)social problem.
If this is true, it sounds like a MAJOR MAJOR design flaw in DNS.
DNS itself works fine; it are applications and people who are abusing it. Same as SMS works fine; except if tens of thousands of people suddenly start sending huge amounts of them.
Don't call something a flaw until you realize how it works. We have enough people who know nothing about things calling things flawed despite that they don't know anything about them.
These two actively use the root and (cc)TLD servers to check if the domains the email is claiming to come from work. For normal email, which normally comes one by one, one lookup is enough and the result is cached. For SPAM email, which normally comes in batches with different from-addresses, you need a lookup for each and the cached result is useless because it's not reused anymore.
With regarding to SPF, that's another DNS lookup. Does it mean that SPF is bad? No. It's the people who made us design and implement SPF who are bad. DNS is the best place for information like SPF.
The Wired Company needs ads to keep wired.com free.
For the rest, the layout and the font of the printer-version is not really for mainstream people, they want something nice for their eyes too. Not everybody are hardcore nuts like you and me.
Now if a war broke out in Arkansas, can the military be given a fine for driving around in their tanks? (they most likely have a bigger gun than the cop, but two wrongs don't still make a right)

With this amount of packet loss, I feel bad for your TCP connection.
You think it's an illegal copy?
because it was foreseeable that she might get raped walking a mile alone at night along a railroad track.
I'm glad I'm not living in your neighbourhood where these things are foreseeable...
But who is going to rescue the people on the rescue-mission?
Picard: "Mr Worf, fire at will!"
*ZOT*
Picard: "Hmm... where did Riker go?"
I know that with software patents you have to seed them properly before you can harvest them later, but can somebody explain to me what it is doing on the agenda of the council of agriculture and fisheries?
Please volunteer.
If these homosexual relationships are between *consenting* adults, why are so groups of people opposed against it?
Interesting that the first two replies (and that are the ones at +1 or higher) promote violence instead of trying to figure out why it happens and how it can be prevented.

Not everybody reads all news websites, not everything is a race, you don't need to be first in everything.

I wasn't asking for solutions, just commenting on the previous post.
:-)
But if you're wondering what we're doing:
- greylisting (handy to get rid of 95% of the spam and 99% of the viruses)
- sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org
and spam assassin on the rest of the email which actually gets through
As usual, somebody describes the problem, says that all the common solutions don't work and doesn't give any other solutions.
Will probably be modded up to +5 insightful, while it is nothing more than -1 troll.
Since printers are $50,- these days anyways, it's still cheaper to bulk import them from overseas and also get the overseas cartridges while we're at it.

I don't get it.
Let me guess, you're not running a mail server?
If this is true, it sounds like a MAJOR MAJOR design flaw in DNS.
DNS itself works fine; it are applications and people who are abusing it. Same as SMS works fine; except if tens of thousands of people suddenly start sending huge amounts of them.
Don't call something a flaw until you realize how it works. We have enough people who know nothing about things calling things flawed despite that they don't know anything about them.
I don't understand the problem.
For example, this is what my mail gateway checks:
- reject_rhsbl_client dsn.rfc-ignorant.org
- reject_rbl_client relays.ordb.org
- reject_rbl_client sbl.spamhaus.org
These three produce only load on the DNS servers of the anti-spam providers
- reject_unknown_sender_domain
- reject_unknown_recipient_domain
These two actively use the root and (cc)TLD servers to check if the domains the email is claiming to come from work. For normal email, which normally comes one by one, one lookup is enough and the result is cached. For SPAM email, which normally comes in batches with different from-addresses, you need a lookup for each and the cached result is useless because it's not reused anymore.

Hi Robert Ryan!
Do I look like a printer to you? No.
The Wired Company needs ads to keep wired.com free.
For the rest, the layout and the font of the printer-version is not really for mainstream people, they want something nice for their eyes too. Not everybody are hardcore nuts like you and me.
Now if a war broke out in Arkansas, can the military be given a fine for driving around in their tanks? (they most likely have a bigger gun than the cop, but two wrongs don't still make a right)
It's a good thing that it doesn't apply to the railroad :-)
