Here in Columbus, OH, we have the option of Road Runner and Earthlink through TW's cable. I wonder how that will play out.
All I can say is that I'll be seriously looking at DSL...maybe my downloads won't be *quite* as fast, but at least I won't have any surprises on my bill after a weekend of downloading ISOs...
I know I'm not surprised. I'm no lawyer, but it seems to me there's loopholes through anything. I was under the impression you couldn't stop reverse engineering, which would make samba safe, no?
We got it by posting the question on the CUPS mailing list. The response we got back was from Dirk Kastens, thead called "page accounting" originated by Jim Harmon.
I don't think it's really that difficult to integrate into mutt. You just source the gpg.rc file that comes with the distribution in your.muttrc and voila, it just works. I've customized my muttrc a bit even to sign+encrypt to people who's keys I know I have, and just sign everything else. The "Well no one else does it, so it's pointless for me to do it" attitude will never help get widespread use. I say use it every day, all the time, and maybe your family and friends will get sick of getting strangely formatted messages and ask you to help them set things up on their end! This has got to be a team effort.
I'd encourage you to switch to an open source project such as GnuPG just out of principle, but I do believe it can also interact with PGP encrypted things (to certain limitations... see the GnuPG FAQ on the subject. Basically if it's implementing OpenPGP, GnuPG can read it.
The only problem with that is that you loose all the features of the printer (duplex, nup, etc.) We actually have a filter that works now written by someone else...it examines the page and gives an accurate page count.

We're currently using it at my workplace to print to both HP and Lexmark printers. Our Solaris, Linux and NT 4.0 machines all print through it. The only limitation we have seen is that the PS that comes from Windows is not able to be counted correctly in the page_log (i.e. you print a 756 page document and it only shows up as one page). I believe there's a workaround for this that we're looking into, but otherwise it's a good solid platform that we rely on in production.
This is an excellent point. Maybe they could follow the current trend and sell these puppies for $200 a piece, but then offer a $100 rebate when you sign up for the internet service. I know I was considering buying one for several weeks, but being a poor college student doesn't help much. Now that I'm graduating and will have a job, I'd have $200 or so to put down on something like this.

Has anyone managed to get Star Office running on a Redhat 6 machine? I had problems with 5.0...I'd really like to try it out so I can blow away NT alltogether.
Out of curiosity, I sent an e-mail to IBM about the microdrives. Here is what I got back:
We appreciate your interest in IBM's new microdrive technology. The 170/340 MB microdrive will be available during the second half of 1999. It is expected to cost between $300-$400.
That makes this a $500-600 mp3 player...a little out of the reach of most college students by about $499-$599:)
Unless they can give me another reason to buy a microdrive (other than it's cool as hell) I think I'll have to stick with a Rio (not that I can afford that either)...

That will never happen. Just attach a big magnet to superman and he'll take care of it before you can say Lex Luther!

Getting closer to home-built mp3/ogg players!
