Just add a minus sign in front of the words you don't want. I went to their advanced search page to make sure of the syntax. Turns out that you'd want to search on Signetics "write only memory" -"jargon -file".
I got it when I first tried to submit the comment. Then I added "PS: What's a formkey?", but I still got the error. After adding the rest of the text, the problem went away.
I used MSN way back when, because of the $400 rebate thing that they offered.
Anyway, IIRC (it's been 2 years and I've probably only booted MS-Windows a handful of times since then), somewhere in the mail options for Outlook Express (and Outlook too, I would imagine) there is a checkbox for an option that states something like, "Use Secure Password Authentication (SPA)?" I was never able to find out much information about this Secure Password Authentication stuff, but from what I can tell, it's a proprietary protocol. I had found a short mini-HOWTO-like document that described using MSN under Linux and it made mention of this. I could dial up and login to MSN under Linux (I had to specify the username in a particular way in my dialup scripts, dialed up to UUnet). I could even send email; they just used straight SMTP. What I could not do was receive email, as this required the previously-mentioned SPA.
So, besides the fact that everybody already knew, that this won't stop spam unless they block outbound port 25 to all hosts, you can still send mail through their servers any way you like. The problem is actually getting to the mail you receive.
(Addendum: After I started working for an ISP a few months later and was getting free dialup, I stopped sending in payments. They cut me off after a couple of months but never came after me for the $400.)
I'm using gcc 2.95.4 (just checked). I haven't had the cojones to upgrade to 3.0 yet, although it's available in Debian unstable.;)
As for not using 2.96, I've seen several warnings to that effect on Kernel Traffic (highly recommended). If I'm not mistaken, Red Hat provides 2.95.something as a "kgcc" package, intended for kernel recompilation ("kernel gcc").
Make sure that you're not enabling any of the APIC options. On my T-Bird, I kept building kernels that would crash on my until I disabled the APIC stuff. Note that the stuff in the Configure.help is incorrect when it says it won't affect anything if you don't have APIC; apparently, this is only true with an Intel system.
Anyway, that's what worked for me. Until I discovered that, I was using the pre-packaged kernels from Debian. But it works fine on my system now.
Yes, it's a whitespace issue. It took me a few tries to get it right. I would've just went in and and changed it by hand, but I wanted something automatable that I can reverse before I apply patch-2.4.13.
After you've saved it to a file, just edit it and replace the initial whitespace with the appropriate number of tabs. You'll need the odd space on a few lines in order to get it to match up exactly. Looking at the lines in question in ieee1284_ops.c should point you in the right direction. You might also try the '-l' or '--ignore-whitespace' option to patch, although I haven't tried this myself.
Here's how it worked for me. I've converted the tabs to '\t'. Copy-and-paste this into vi, and then run ":s/\\t//g".

Now I just need to know how to stop the lame animated GIFs -- can anyone please tell me if there's a way to halt them in Konqueror the way I can by hitting ESC in Mozilla/Opera/IE?
You can do it, but it's a bit annoying. You need to right-click on the page and select "Stop animations". This is only in recent versions; I forget at which version this made it in, but I believe it was around the time of 2.1, definitely by 2.2. As far as I know, there's no keyboard shortcut to do it. That could've changed with the last release, however. (I switched to Mozilla because I was tired of the 20 other processes that fired up when I started Konqueror when I wasn't using KDE.)
Hmm, at least they provide binaries for a scanner and cleaner that you can download. Just run those as root, and... Oh! Wait a minute!:)
(In all fairness to them, they do provide source alongside the pre-compiled binaries, so the security-conscious can audit the code and recompile.)
This reminds me a lot of a rant or two by Rick Moen of SVLUG fame. The main problem is sysadmin inexperience. Granted, you can still trash your own files (and lose all your user data), but the system will be safe. So just run untrusted executables as a different, non-privileged user, if you must run them at all.
This is cool news (the accompanying art is a nice touch with this Dr. Who presentation), but it would be nice if they would put the episodes into more audio formats as well.
If you don't like RealAudio (and who does?), you might want to check out vsound. If you're wondering what it is, here are a couple words from the web page:
"VSound is a sort of like a `virtual audio loopback cable'. That is, it allows you to record the output audio stream of a program (similar to connecting a loopback cable to the line in and line out jacks on the sound card, and recording the sound from the line in jack, but without the DA/AD conversion losses). One possible use for this application is as part of a RealAudio to wav file converter."
It's pretty neat -- it uses the LD_PRELOAD trick to override certain library functions, allowing you to save the sound from an application like RealPlayer. I've used it myself before, and it works, and works well.
If you have a Debian system, here's all you need to do:
root@localhost:~# apt-get install vsound
If you're on another system, you'll need to download the a href="http://www.zip.com.au/~erikd/vsound/vsound-0.5.tar.gz">source and also make sure that you have sox installed. (vsound uses sox to convert the raw.au into wav format, which you can then compress however you'd like.)

PS: What's a formkey? I finally got one of those weird formkey errors that I've been hearing people talk about.

Yahoo news is carrying a press release that confirms that one of their founders is dead.
There's a blurb at http://news.philly.com/. There's a link to a longer story, but I'm having problems getting through to it.
