It did apply a few years ago, one of my ex-bosses was a role model as Mr Pointy Haired and another was an alcoholic who had been promoted there by the Pointy Haired one, but my bosses over the last 5 years have been generally aware of what is going on. This is in a mainframe environment, somewhere there is no 'need to know' about these things. The people I know who do have difficulties here all seem to be over 60.
Mozilla does just what I want, even it it does take some time to load. I like having an integrated Browser/HTML Editor/E-Mail client.
At work, I run Firefox under NT4 (!) and editing HTML there is a pain in the ass - no 'Edit Page' option there. I am sure there are other ways to do this, but what I actually do at work is sufficiently taxing that looking things up (with no internet access) would just be a distraction.
I wonder how this mess actually came about, it has been clear for quite a while now that the Itanium was going to be a turkey.
The deity known as 'Linus' did a pretty good hatchet job on it a couple of years ago when he said that it was a badly designed processor which was not even compatible with existing code. With him having recently left Transmeta at the time, it was obvious that he was a good judge with no particular axe to grind.
The way it looks to this outsider, two companies were involved and no-one from either dared kill the beast because they would have left their side open to a lawsuit.
The obvious answer there is: you should not be driving fast in fog anyway so that 'malfunction' is a 'feature', assuming it really does work like that (which I doubt).
Thanks - a far more interesting response than I had imagined seeing here.
Yup, I had noticed that Samba mainstream was drifting towards the TNG model when winbindd came out.
What I said above was only part of the story though, the claim was that you wanted to introduce several additional daemons and this was deemed too complicated back then.
All this is a few years back, I was a Samba administrator up until mid-2000 but have been in Novell shops with no smb since so my memory of the details is fading. That website you see as my homepage here has not been updated for a while and probably will not be unless something changes workwise.
I'm aware that I am preaching to the converted, but your esteemed employers should be aware that when you get 150 spams a day, there is no such thing as a false positive.
Anything that lands in my spam-box is spam and gets nuked unseen. (actually that only applies to one of my addresses, and when I actually expect something there such as a response from a registration-only site, I download and delete all spam there, register, save *that* mail and then go back to ignoring everything).
Unsolicited mail from people I do not know does not get looked at. End of story.
I never knew the name but was told that he was difficult to work with. Classic innuendo tactics really, unless it happens to be the truth and that I can't judge.
The CCC organised something similar last season and then just left the server online and forgot about it.
Some Spanish group crafted a new exploit and broke into it a week or so ago, placing the details of the participants in the web. The CCC talked them into taking some of the more sensitive stuff offline again, but it was hugely embarrasing to them. Sending e-mails to all participants warning them what had happened was not their finest moment.
If you get a mail from the Korean government which *says* it is from the Korean government, then the originator's IP Address will match and the mail will get through to you.
If you get a mail from the Korean government which says it is from http://www.sexybabes.com then there will be a mismatch so it will be sorted out.
Quoting the article, which you appear not to have read: Among the new features in AbiWord 2.2 are:
* A MacOSX port
* Tables of contents
* Document history/revisions
* Text frames * Better support for international scripts and locales
* List folding
* Text wrapping around images
* Faster rendering
* Dashboard integration
* Visual drag and drop
This release also includes an enormous number of bug fixes and improvements across the board.
I don't know of anything which is that automatic and do not think that it is a good idea anyway. Someone sends you something which registers as a false positive and you nuke them.
Bad move. Your company will not make friends that way.
What you need is something that will attack hand-picked sites and that exists, the source is also pointed to on that page.
Be aware that it does not like Mozilla, but is fine under the konq.
One last question: all that artificial traffic will cost your company as well. Are they cool with that?
That is not the way to go, you want to put the sites that are being advertised under load. Obviously you don't want 'false positives' but there is a load of sites out there which would 'benefit' from artificially high traffic.
Is this a bad thing? Those BarStewards spend a lot of time and energy looking for ways to get past our spam filters. They know we don't want their stuff but they insist on subjecting us to it.
One of my addresses gets 130-150 spams a day and I have long since given up checking for false positives. If my filter says it is spam then it gets nuked. Go where the money is, go for the people who comission them.
What are the alternatives? - a baseball bat? No comment. - Microsoft lawsuits? They are the good guys here but they can only really go for spammers in the US, so the guys who advertise using spam just move to offshore spammers.
Go for the money, the sites being advertised this way, the people who commission spammers.
What you say is only partially true, the US have no problems getting heavily involved if they consider it to be in their best interest. Think Afghanistan.
Under Clinton or Bush the Elder, the US were prepared to get involved even when they had no direct interest. Think Somalia, Bosnia and Kosovo. Somalia turned out to be a messy mistake, but when the US took on Serbia, they finally stopped something that no-one else was willing or able to get involved in. Ray Boorda saved a lot of lives there.
There are two approaches, one has traditionally been used by left-wing terrorists and the other by right-wing terrorists.
The left tend to target specific people or objects. The attack on the Pentagon would have fitted that pattern, the attack on the WTC could conceivably be said to fit the pattern if you were so far out of 'the loop' as to not have a clue how diverse the people were who were in the WTC at the time (rather long winded, that one).
The fascists have traditionally gone in for general terror attacks, just killing people at random.
The ETA in Spain target individuals - sometimes for the most insane reasons - which is why the idea that they had been behind the Madrid bombings was so crazy. The Madrid bombings were typical Fascist terror. IMO the Spanish government were not voted out because of the bombings, they were voted out because their idiotic attempts to push the blame onto the ETA made it clear that they recognised that Aznar had made Spain a Qaeda target - it was an admission of guilt.
The train bombing in Bologna years ago was by fascists, as was the Oktoberfest bomb in the early 80's and the other ones I mentioned - Bali and those E. Africa bombings. The E. Africa ones in particular were classic fascist - around 90% of the victims were locals who just happened to be in the area, but who cares what happens to a load of primitive darkies anyway? Nuff said.
Going to Israel: suicide bombings of buses or cafes fit one pattern, assassination of an extreme right-wing minister the other. I am not sure where to place attacks on settlers - they are people who choose to occupy land which is not part of Israel (they are just occupying it) in an attempt to expand Israel's borders at the expense of Palestinians. Their choice.
If I felt I had to target the US (and I was born outside of it), random mass murder would be out. You *always* have to be picky about your allies because they can drag you down with them. Hitler was in trouble before Pearl Harbor, he was finished when he aligned himself with the Japanese. One of the insane things about the US/Iraq war was that Saddam Hussein was allegedly attacked for his non-existent WMDs *and* his non-existent bin Laden links. How do Hizbollah get on with Al Qaeda? Not very well, I suspect. The US lump them together even though they have little in common.
One last point, Timothy McVeigh. He targeted a government organisation in that building, accepted the other 'casualties' as collaterel (sp?) damage but was shocked when he realised that there had been a kindergarten there and he had taken out a load of kids. I really don't know how to label him, he did not fit the classic patterns.
A friend of mine has finally got around to checking out Firefox and Thunderbird. He misses a couple of features:
Firefox does not have parental control features. His daughters are around 8 and 10 and he seems to feel the need to restrict their surfing experience.
Thunderbird can apparently read multiple e-mail addresses from one domain (userx@noddy.com, usery@noddy.com . ..) but only allows you to use one when sending messages. His family have one email address each.
He says the Mucrosoft products offer those features.
He will probably switch anyway because he does not trust any member of his family (possibly including himself) to recognise a trojan or virus before being infected by it. At least the kids have their own PCs but I don't think his firewall treats the internal network as a DMZ:-)
Sticking my neck out, it is not possible to issue good instructions without knowing what you are running now. Not the kernel itself but stuff like GCC, modutils, whatever. If they are recent enough then it is compile and load, if not then my advice would to be to upgrade them first.
I can understand your point but disagree with the emphasis - you misunderstood the post you were replying to.
The journalists and non-violent protesters who were beaten up are the ones bringing the court case. The police totally ignored the the violent 'protesters' (the 'black block') to the extent that suspicions arose that some were policemen in disguise, and then mounted a night attack on some of the peaceful protesters who were sleeping in a school. The peaceful lot (young men and women both) were beaten up and then hauled into court on trumped up charges, charges that were laughed out of court by the judiciary. Now the police are having their day in court, it has taken long enough.
I had to turn off the GMX Spam filter because it was blocking messages from a mailing list I am on.
I tried marking the messages as 'not spam' based on the sender, but every single message has a different - unique - sender so that failed. To top it all, I could not even remove the 30-odd senders from the list again.
Now it is down to Mozilla's spam blocker again. It has virtually zero false-positives, but misses too many (30%) spam messages.
There are times when I'd love to have a baseball bat and a list of spammers - they are perfectly aware we do not want their garbage but they persist on finding new ways to bypass filters and dump their stuff on us. Anyone who actually wants this stuff will not have filters set anyway. Failing a baseball bat, I am about to try SpamVampire again. This sort of obnoxious antisocial behaviour demands some response.
A couple of a/c's don't seem to believe you - maybe you should have given the names of those abducted along with some links.
What the hell.
It won't be Japan in this case anyway - it will be good old Britain. John Lennon was just a little bit anti-establishment and both Labour and the Tories tend to react allergically to that. The Ted Heath or Harold Wilson governments will have been in a sharing mode when it came to slander back then.

Not in my experience.

Does it not just validate the IP address against the domain? That requires no action at from the sender, just one from the DNS servers.
Thanks - a far more interesting response than I had imagined seeing here.

Is he your hero for 'standing up to' Spain? Australian tourists in Bali? Turkey? Those bombings in E Africa which mainly killed locals?
Bin Laden's closest allies were the Taliban. Is their society the kind you want to live in?
If you are serious, your mind is tiny and you are out of it.
Well, I know one and (s)he is a disaster zone professionally. Totally incompetent but good at bullshitting.
afaik, (s)he was pretty incompetent before the sex change so it is not as though Estrogen made a difference either way.
Not sure he's using XP, it could be '98 which sort of screws using different logins. The rest I can use on him.
