If you're really wanting to do charting for programming then you probably want to do UML. ArgoUML is Java based and the recent versions work pretty good.
This isn't like the Judge that signed up the list. These people are in the telemarketing business. Don't you think they would need to know if their competitors are following the regulations and how effective the Do Not Call list really is? They've probably ordered several employees to sign up for it.
And if you read the article some of these guys are saying that someone else must have put their name on the list. I know several of you would say "yea right!" but it's well within the realm of things that people on/. suggest. It doesn't talk a rocket scientist to post their name on the list then just wait or even leak that their name is there.
How far from a normal pc is a Xbox? If anyone ever gets Linux loading on a Xbox without having to resort to any hacks expect an explosion of these types of cds.
I was working a small chain of computer store in the Houston area. A completely relaxed enviroment. The manager of the store where I headed up the tech shop at would check out his tribes game and wwf websites every morning with breakfast. Well I called the owner ahead of time and let him know what I was planning. When my manager wasn't at his pc I changed out his hosts file so that those certain websites would resolve to a server I had setup on our lan. I grabbed a copy of the company logo and hacked together a page that said something along the lines of "This site has be filtered and is not work related. Please contact CEO's Name if you have any questions." I just "happened" to be in his office to see his reaction; It was nothing short of glorious! He actually called the CEO and started screaming that he works his @$$ off normally and that if he wanted to read up on WWF during breakfast that it was his God given right. Even better was that he keep hitting refresh in disbelief so I just had to change out the site to tell him what a moron he was. About 1 minute after I walked back into his office he hit refresh. He quietly told the CEO he'd call him back and I believe it was a stapler he thru at me.
My fav of all time was what happened to me at the Atlanta airport(I think it was Atlanta, they all blur after so much traveling). I was there on a short lay-over. I stopped at a barbeque quick serve resturant right outside the metal detector on my way to my gate. I got a chopped beef sandwitch wrapped in aluminum foil and it was placed in a plain brown paper bag. Without even thinking I walked thru the metal detector which of course was set off by my sandwitch I was carrying. The security guard asked for the brown paper bag and had me walk back thru the scanner. Since the scanner didn't go off I wasn't a threat so I was given back my sandwitch. The kicker is that no one every bothered to look in the plain brown paper bag that set off the metal detector.
Another time,in Minnesota, I forgot that I had a long small head screw driver in my carry on bag that I used to change out laptop hd's. The extra machine tech saw it and handed my bag to a security officer. I was asked about it and admitted to being absent minded and leaving a screw driver in the bag. They tell me they'll have to take it so they start to search the bag. They can't find the damn thing and it's not some complicated bag, it's a cloth laptop bag from Sun's Java store. I offer to reach in the bag and get it for them, nope that's not allowed. They end up xraying the bag a second time still seeing the screw driver there but even though I'll telling them there is one they conclude that it's a fantom screw driver being caused by several pens in my bag.
As for the security profiling that airports do, some do the "he looks like a bad guy" approach. Sadly if you get behind someone that isn't white you have a much better chance of avoiding searches. Other airports have profiling systems in place that will flag you if you do things like switch your flight to a different time, ignoring the fact that you have a million frequent flyer miles.
One problem with Squirrel I have had (Suse 8.2, not sure about the version but pretty recent) is that it sometimes fails with folders with boatloads (several thousand) of mail in it
Most likely php was timing out. In your php.ini or eqiv there is a setting that caps how long any single php request can run for. You can either up this or get the folder displaying in less time. By changing options for SquirrelMail to use ServerSide sorting(admin option), not every changing your display prefs "Enable Sort by of Receive Date" to No, and making sure you have Courier setup with plenty of allowed IMAP connections you can speed things up alot.
Haven't tested with several thousand but with about 2 thousand messages the inital folder view delay went from around 35 seconds to 4 seconds. Your times might be different since I'm running everything on an old 300Mhz Sparc/Solaris system. Other then that if you haven't already checked it out I'd suggest look at SquirrelMail's performance tuning ideas here.
Why do you want to offload mail delivery? Performance? Security? Ease of administration? I ask because I'm under the impression that if 1 program [such as Postfix] can do that, then it would be more efficient over all, or in general to just leave Procmail out of it. Maybe I need to read up on Procmail. Doesn't Postfix or the IMAP server allow you to sort out the mail?
Something like Sendmail or Postfix usually defaults to doing several jobs typically referred to as MTA (mail transfer agent) and MDA (mail delivery agent). Procmail is designed just to be a MDA and since it focuses just on that it's a lot more flexible. Each user has a.procmailrc file in their home dir that says things like messages from person a goes to this mail box, messages with this subject go to another mail box, messages with exe attachments are bounced, etc.
It also works together with spamassassin to filter spam. Basically procmail runs all mail thru the filters outlined in the.procmailrc file. One filter could be a spamassassin line that say take this message and send it to the spamassassin program for modification. Spamassassin modifies the message headers by adding in a spam score line. Another procmail line say to read the message headers and if you find a line that says the message is spam then send it somewhere.
If you ever do use the SquirrelMail+Courier combo and you convert your old mbox mail to maildir take a look at here. I've only run into one issue when using SquirrelMail to get my mail so I wrote a little program to fix things for my work since I'll probably be switching my work's email setup to the same setup I run for my sites.
It's the RIAA just going after people that are sharing songs? So all these lawsuits are because someone forgot to check the box that says "disable filesharing"? Yeah, I know it's kill p2p and that but what I want to know is if anyone is aware of the RIAA setting up p2p servers with bogus files and tracking users that download from them? Any lawsuits from that yet?
What other properties are you looking for in your email server? For my domains(osdev.org and variants) here's the combination I use:
Courier IMAP - Supports Maildir, works well with most IMAP webmail setups, easy to setup, support Secure IMAP
Postfix for SMTP - Can offload mail delivery to another program like Procmail, replaces Sendmail
Procmail for Delivery - The Great thing about IMAP is that you have message folders on the server, procmail will allow you to sort incoming mail as it arrives.
Spamassassin - Integrates with Procmail to sort spam into a folder or/dev/null
SquirrelMail - Seems to be one of the best web based IMAP clients around, done in PHP
The reasons I picked the above: Free, Wanted IMAP for server-side folders, needed Maildir support because I didn't want to use mbox because of performance and locking issues, and I needed webmail and an IMAP server known to work well with webmail.
Companies are willing to go to great length to make Walmart happy. Why do you think that bar codes on products ever took hold? It'd also give normal people a compelling reason to want to go to Mars. Ma and Pa will want to check out that new Super-Super-Walmart. At least For once we wouldn't have to listen about Walmart driving local shops out of business.
Seriously, this is your main concern about space travel???? Silly problem gets silly solution. The whole reason for your standard container sizes is to reduce cost. Space travel isn't cheap and isn't done on a massive enough scale to need this yet. Maybe in a hundred years you'll be a visionary but for know just steal standard sized boxes from behind Walmart.
...there would be human interaction. Wasn't the whole point of page rank so that results couldn't be manipulated so easy? Yeah I know there is that link exchange stuff that google had to deal with but for the most part it works. As soon as we allow humans to voting someone will start to screw with the system.
Force feed back devices could be used. Just vibrate out the keyword in morris code with backgroud vibration noise to keep it from being easily figured out by computer software.

Optical Disc Corporation announces industry technology breakthrough -- CDR-ROM!
Wednesday, 26 February 2003
Optical Disc Corporation (ODC), a leader in optical disc mastering systems, today announced the introduction of its CDR-ROM(TM) disc. This revolutionary new product provides many new possibilities for digital content delivery, not previously possible. ODC's CDR-ROM (patents pending), combines CD-R and CD-ROM on the same disc using its advanced mastering technology. The CDR-ROM is a standard size 12 cm disc that provides a pre-recorded ROM area and a writable CD-R area on the same disc. Although the format has been published for years, available manufacturing technology has limited the ability to record on standard CD-R writers worldwide. ODC's advanced technology provides a breakthrough, allowing the writable portion of the CDR-ROM to be recorded by the content provider, or the end user on their own computer. Either area can be as large or as small as required by the application with a total capacity of up to 700 MB. The CDR-ROM conforms to all specifications of the industry Orange Book standards for hybrid discs and is compatible with standard CD-R writers worldwide.
The ODC CDR-ROM, with its desktop CD-R writer compatibility, provides the ultimate in application flexibility. The CDR-ROM opens a world of opportunities for new applications such as, Anti Piracy/Copy Protection, Enhanced Data Security, Direct Marketing with mail-merge, and unlimited other software applications.
"The major challenge in CDR-ROM disc manufacturing has been the requirement to produce a stamper with widely varying pit and groove geometries from the same master. This has proven very difficult to do with photoresist mastering, which is why this type of disc has not yet been readily available. ODC is uniquely capable of readily producing CDR-ROM masters, stamper and replicas because of the tremendous flexibility in ODC's Dye Polymer Mastering process," states Richard Wilkinson, President and CEO of Optical Disc Corporation. This capability has been demonstrated within the last year and is ready to be placed into pilot production. Major software companies and copy protection companies such as Macrovision Corporation (Nasdaq:MVSN - News) and Smarte Solutions have expressed a keen desire to develop applications for the CDR-ROM.
ODC is now taking orders for the CDR-ROM, which is manufactured at ODC's headquarters facilities in Santa Fe Springs, California. ODC also plans to license the CDR-ROM technology to other manufacturers.

Something as robust as UDI might not be needed if Linux could come up with a standard Driver API. But that would involve a feature freeze and open source is the last place you'll see that.

You can't really do this sort of thing at the filesystem or device driver level anymore because of the internal drive geometry translation.
