The Halloween documents hold special interest for me, as, IIRC, I first installed Linux about six weeks prior to their release. I was looking for some Linux help, and stumbled upon this crappy site (slashdot, if memory serves:). While I got no Linux help, I did get an earfull about what MicroSoft thought of it.
Apparantly, most of the other people who replied in this thread are abject morons. CT, as usual, complained about HIS level of spam. You, as many others in the past have done, recommend Spamassassin. (I'm sure there are other good tools. FWIW, I also use Spamassassin. I think one spam has slipped through in the past month.)
In any event, thank you for doing your duty, and telling CT to get some cheese to go with his whine.
To everyone else who has responded to this thread to date: CT uses Linux. Therefore, he is not using Eudora, Outlook, etc. He is a USian, therefore not paying per minute for his net connection. Even if he were in... wherever they do that kind of crap, I imagine his employer would be footing the bill. He's also not a programming moron, so he should be able to set fetchmail to run only when there is not other traffic on the line. Finally, reaper20 was not trying to solve the entire spam problem. He was trying to solve Taco's. I understand being too lazy to read the story. But don't be too lazy to read the post you are replying to.
Instead of going back, just hit reload. The browser (either IE or Mozilla, I've done it on both) says something about wanting to REPOST form data. Say ok.
Because the poozers on/. who actually use Linux use RH or Mandrake (because Mandrake is 'leet). FWIW, debian.org is slowing down quite a bit for web page stuff.
I'm getting things in order. Plan on sticking with Woody, and to hell with Sarge.
Does the aroma come from the oil, or from higher weight compounds that are not combusted out during the burn of the fuel? I think the latter, because I have often heard that veggie oil cars smell like this. 'Course, it could be a leaking fuel tank.
The former is the reason why most people who do this secure a source of vegetable oil from various restaurants. The latter... I don't know. I did a chemistry (later turned into economics) seminar on the topic of price point of gasoline before ethanol made sense. It was a couple of dollars per gallon, US. This was in 1996.
Boy, sounds like an impressive comment, but I'll be damned if I see much useful info in it. Sorry:)
Did you read the John Lasser article? He was a bit closer to the 'correct' track: "MicroSoft? They make keyboards, right?"
It's a bit stupid to have blinders on. Even if you don't snag code, snagging ideas is not a bad thing. Perhaps MS will come up with some new ideas.
(BTW, when I needed new keyboard/mouse, I went STRAIGHT to the MicroSoft offerings. I don't care who invented optical mice. I just like the ones MicroSoft makes.)
Anyway, I'm surprised you have any karma left, given how often you rail against the party line.
You don't run 'testing' on a server. That is what stable is for. Stable is stable. Very stable. Servers don't need X. Or GAIM. etc. Servers need stable software. That is what Debian stable provides.
I'd like to know how it determines when files are the same. Checksums? File names? Complete file pathnames? I also didn't see what happens when one node gets infected with a virus. Does it then propagate back when being restored? (Probably. This last is the least of my concerns).
But RCT STILL doesn't have a sandbox mode. And, unfortunately, most of the 'real world' coasters for download are too damned big to fit in many of the game's parks.
Still, I bought each of the three CD's new. For full price.
Probably install it again when i get tired of Ghost Recon and NWN.
I noticed a fair number of problems, but nothing that prevented me from finishing the game.
The truly bizarre thing is that I didn't have big time path finding/AI issues until sometime in the third chapter. Maybe that's just when I noticed them. (FWIW, I played the entire sp campaign under version 1.19. 1.20 didn't come out until after I finished sp.)
Wrote a journal entry, but comments seem apropos here:
Look at the server list, and here is what exists:
1. People serving the built in modules. 2. People hosting deathmatches of various sorts. (And, in environments where only maxed out fighters with tons of bogus equipment have a chance. Can't count the number of people swinging a pair of Holy Avenger's) 3. 'Chat' areas. 4. Barely begun 'real' modules.
It's quite depressing. I keep telling myself "good modules will come, good modules will come"
The EULA does do a bit to stifle creativity. But I'm certain that if you spoke to the correct person at BioWare, they would be willing to license the tech/tools for your own modules to be sold. But you would have to pay for them.
Due to the hardware involved, I imagine this isn't something that some OSS coder is going to slap together. NIH should have a reader/software somewhere.
Nature of questions would help answer the question a bit better.
The problem is, much of medicine is not a customer based business. In any other industry, customer demand matters. But if you have an insurance that will only pay for you to see certain doctors, there is not much incentive for those docs to do a whole lot for the patient.
Don't get me wrong: it COULD be a factor. But given the business climate of medicine, I'm not certain how large a factor it would be. This would matter more to urban hospitals with more competition, as well as in over-crowded specialties.

Not unless you want to help me use linuxfromscratch to make a cross-compiled distribution:)
I found some better sites, bought some ORA books, and figured it out. Mostly.

Kinda like this '733+ script kiddie who can't even figure out how to install spamassassin?
You give people far too much credit.

But, if enough people do it, maybe the Lars and others of the world will say "waitaminnut. Our fans AREN'T trying to fuck us. It's really the RIAA."
Yes, I've looked at the clones, and yes, they suck. We need M.U.L.E. All of it. Especially the music. Best party game of all time.

I have a diesel car. Not on the road now. Was planning on putting in a rather high output small block or Olds big block. But this... Is interesting...

The thing I never understood is why these sorts of things were not done on Sept. 11. They would certainly have been easier. Possibly cheaper.

Debian was not intended to be a 'major player'.
I thought many of the theatre chains were being bought up by the various studios.
Wasn't there an anti-trust case about this in the... 40's?
Yup. Just looked it up. Cineplex Odius and Loew's are both owned by Sony. Certainly this can't be the only situation like that.
Knowing Sony, they have some competing format.

YHBT. YHL. HAND.
Thanks for the link. Looked at the screenshots. Graphics don't look much better. Hrrmmm....
Check out this thread for thoughts on NWN.

I believe this is what you are thinking about.
Or maybe this?

(I used to be one of the faithful, but fell from grace. I'm thinking of returning however, thanks to the iBook and OSX.)
