  1. QMail HOWTO + an alternative All-in One Solution on Recommendations for the Right IMAP Server? · · Score: 1

    first of all, for those that think qmail is a pain in the ass to install, qmail-conf takes all the headaches out of configuration.

    http://www.din.or.jp/~ushijima/qmail-conf.html

    Secondly, I've written a command by command howto for qmail
    http://www.killerfocus.com/howto/qmail.txt

    Thirdly, if you want an all-in one solution, instead of installing Courier-IMAP, you can install the whole Courier Mail Server. It includes pop, imap, webmail, webadmin and optionaly SSL on everything.

  2. School's Out for Summer!! on Filesharing Traffic Drops After RIAA Threats · · Score: 1

    Is there any possibility that filesharing dropped signifigantly because of all of the college students in the country that either went home or were studying for finals away from their super-fat university pipe?

  3. Combo/considerations on What Kind Of Computer To Bring To College? · · Score: 1

    I go to UCLA and you'll see a few things that I think are indicitive of most campuses:
    1)most people use pen and paper in class
    2)a few use pdas with keyboards to take notes
    3)a few more use laptops
    4)very few people tape record lectures

    (On this last note, I've noticed that people are replacing their tape recorders with their mp3 jukeboxes that can record)

    Most people actually learn material better by physically writing it down, and if you are at all spacial or use diagrams or are in a class that is, you need either a tablet of paper, or a tablet PC (PC considerably more expensive)

    As far as computers go, I have a desktop that I love, but I ind myself always using my roommates or my girlfriend's laptop to use on the bed, on the couch, outside, in the lounge, etc.

    My recommendation is a laptop. As for games, if you know how to overclock a video card, get a desktop, but for everyone else, get a laptop, new ones run the newest games just fine.

    If you really need a big screen (games, graphic apps, cad, mad code windows) a best of both worlds solution is to get a badass laptop and a big screen and a mouse and keyboard for your desk. Plug in when you need it and storm the world when you don't.

  4. Jared Diamond on On The Collapse of Complex Societies · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I go to UCLA and had the unique opportunity to study Guns, Germs, and Steel among other books with Jeffery Miller, pre-eminent microbiologist. A highlight was a guest discussion with Jared. The depth and breadth of his knowledge is amazing, and he is, in my professors words "a national treasure."

  5. CMD not command.com on TCSH on Windows XP? · · Score: 1

    the NT/2000/XP environment provide command.com for backwards compatibility. If you are actually using the command-line, you will want to use cmd. cmd provides long filename support, tab completion, etc. just launch cmd from the run-line instead of command.
