IBM has dabbled in desktop-laptop merging for a long time. The PS/2e wasn't convertible between laptop and desktop, but rather it was a desktop designed built like a laptop--it had an LCD display, very small case with room only for PCMCIA slots and a 2.5" hard drive. They were really nice little units. Here's the only one I've found through Google: http://members.aol.com/phwimage1/mycomp01.htm
I have to thank you for the link to the Wikipedia page. Far too much of my wasted life over the past 4 or 5 years has been completely captured in that page. How many nights did I set my filter as low as possible after a few too many and giggle like a schoolgirl? Probably more than I ought to have.
Unfortunately for ISPs, Microsoft doesn't support STAC compression in recent versions of Windows. We found this out after buying some STAC cards for our Portmasters:(
You're right; I was a bit extreme. How about "sitting duck" then? There haven't been any published exploits in a couple of years. But it has such a horrible security record (check Bugtraq if you don't believe me) that no one I know who's remotely security-conscious will run it. Read the code.
Did you read the thread the whole way through, or did you just click and flame? I'd say he's probably tainted by being one of the principle authors of the RFCs; that's irrelevant anway. What you were supposed to find is Mr. Sam's brazen attitude towards the IMAP standards.
There hasn't been one in a while and it's not as if they don't fix bugs when they come out; but the code quality is generally considered to be quite low and not done with security in mind.
5-10 users is a pretty light load; Cyrus is great but might be overkill for your load, unless things like Sieve filtering (which is less flexible but a good deal easier to understand than procmail) and Squatter indexes have a strong enough appeal to you. Squatter builds a full-text index of messages, so searching even large mailboxes is very fast. You'll probably never need Murder clustering or multiple spool partitions or even quotas.
I do spam filtering w/in the MTA w/amavisd-new; it uses SpamAssassin (make sure install extras like Razor2 and DCC), and once the auto-learning has trained the Bayesian filters, the spam miss-rate is very low.
Send me e-mail if you'd like a quote on a pre-configured server. (Sorry for the blatant whoring:)
I use Cyrus in a number of my packaged configurations, but for ease of migration and security Dovecot seems promising, although it lacks many of the advanced features that Cyrus has. It would probably be helpful to know exactly how many users you'll be serving and what your mail volume is. You might drop by #cyrus on irc.freenode.net and chat with people there.
You could, of course, look around and hire a Linux consultant to set it up for you.
There is a pretty passable Webmin module that will let you create mailboxes. I usually use system accounts, so managing accounts and passwords is done through the normal channels.
Pretty slim, I'd guess, since few employers really have a reason to give a rat's ass. Despite the RIAA's best efforts, they haven't managed to demonize file swappers to the extent that people who use drugs or have lousy credit are demonized.
How many other mysteries have you not stopped to investigate? How many other times has the green light of the crosswalk or ringing of the phone diverted your attention and caused you to miss a brilliant adventure? Pynchon or Auster might like to know.
Hoffstadter's Goedel, Escher, Bach. Might be too difficult if you're just getting through high school, but definitely recommended.
Not sci-fi-hacker-geek, but I very much have enjoyed John Mortimer's Rumpole stories. Start at the first omnibus, read through the first book in third omnibus, read Rumpole on Trial, and then finish the third omnibus. There's an odd discontinuity, in that Rumpole on Trial seemed to have been intended as the second book of the third omnibus, but isn't. Also, P. G. Wodehouse's Wooster & Jeeves books are great.
I also recommend Hemmingway, Maugham, and Menken. The first two are easiest to get into if you start off with the short stories.
While you've got free time, Bertrand Russell's softer philosophical works, such as Why I Am Not A Christian, Marriage and Morals, and The Scientific Outlook are also well worth the time, and are a good deal more accessible than his more difficult philosophical or mathematics works. Of course, the classics, like Dracula and Frankenstein are great.
Hm, I guess I don't really read much sci-fi any more, although the occasional horror story, like those by Lovecraft, Damon Knight, or Robert Block catches my attention. I also enjoyed Eight Fantasms and Magics by Jack Vance, which I guess is sorta sci-fi/fantasy. (Try to find an edition with the crazy psychedelic dust jacket,if you can find it all.)
Our house got infested this winter in a way I've never seen before. The blasted things were everywhere, chewing up food, eating the dog's food, pooping and pissing all over the basement.
I bought one of the ultrasonic things, but I can't honestly tell you if it seemed to work. By the time I bought it, we were nearly overrun, and they're only supposed to keep them out, not make them leave if they've already gotten comfortable.
I ended up setting out traps. I started with a few at a time, and ended up having a dozen or more all over the house. I bought the cheapest ones I could, and threw them away when they'd caught one. I think I once caught 10 in a night. My final score for the winter was 29.
I tried a glue trap too, but those don't kill them, so you've got to figure that part out. I wasn't satisfied with just throwing them into the trash to starve and didn't have the nerve to squish them. I tried to rig up a little mousey gas chamber, by putting a box with the trap and mouse over the exhaust pipe of my car and running it. It wasn't nearly as quick and probably not as painless as I'd hoped. A conventional mouse trap is effective, and death comes pretty quickly in most cases, without undue suffering.
A cat is still probably the best answer, but my partner is alleric. Our dog proved to be pretty useless. I think she thought they were her friends.
eCos is an embedded kernel that was developed by Cygnus, now owned by Red Hat. However, it is NOT a Linux kernel (although the userland tools are probably all GNU).
Are you assigning a separate IP address to each of your domain names? That's crazy expensive, given the cost of IP space. If not, you've created multiple PTR records for the same address, which is not valid. (While names can sensibly have multiple addresses, it doesn't make a lot of sense for an address to resolve to multiple names.)
The '@' is a, um, macro or variable (I forget what the offical name for it is) that is the name of the zone (i.e., the domain). You can use this mechanism to use one or a limited number of zone files for all the domains you host, assuming most are the same (which they typically are if you're doing bulk web hosting).
Lots of people seem to have missed the section. (I did at first because I have icons turned off.) I think it does fall under the nerds category, since it's about time-travel, which is something nerds love to fantasize about.

Read up on this thread.

No, it's not reasonably secure. It's wide-ass open; there have been a good many exploits for it.

And Nathan Hale got what was coming to him to... If you do the crime; you should be willing to do the time.

And beige!
You were clearly not around during the Jon Katz era then...
Not if you're dragged off by an over-zealous friend and are otherwise bored out of your mind.
Or just maybe he has a sense of humor.

Did anyone notice the reference to Trogdor the Burninator in Buffy? It was rad!
