  1. Good clone on iTunes For Linux, Thanks To CodeWeavers · · Score: 1

    Juk is a quite good clone of itunes for KDE (not the shopping stuff, just a library manager)

    You can transfer files to your ipod with gtkpod

    Better prefer to launch a proprietary software with a windows emulator.

    Avoid the ID3 tags !

    Adblock for Mozilla is not as powerful as proxy filters like privoxy but it's really easy to hide images/flash/iframes with regexp patterns

    You tried it ?

    Some outlook users will end with your email in their addressbooks, a virus sends mail from you to someone else, then to a mailing list which is archived online, your "private" address is now on the web, game over.

    > 13888888 hours

    / 8 hour per day -> 1.7 millions people

    average of 10$ per day (plenty of poor people in the world get less than 1$ daily, but you need the ones who can read) -> 17.4 million dollars per day

    / 100 millions users -> 17 cents a day per user

    * 3 for triple checks -> 50 cents

    So for half a dollar per day you have the ultimate solution for spam !

  7. Free business model on Gmail Users Get A Storage Boost [updated] · · Score: 1

    1 GB or 1 TB whatever, something which is never considered is the kind of customers you want.

    I think you would get better customers (sell ads at a bigger price) if you put a small fee for the service if it's well deserved.

    I don't understand how someone who doesn't want to spend 10$/month to handle his mail can have a decent probability to be interested in buying a dell server, a travel to world top 100 beaches or mortgage refinancing (some examples from yahoo just now)

    I know this sounds like "who cares to help these guys they'll never vote for us anyway"

  8. Weapons of mass destruction on White House Website Limits Iraq-Related Crawling · · Score: 1

    Silly me, that's why Google sends so few results "mass destruction irak", for a moment I thought they didn't thought any.
    I feel better now.

  9. Roundup on How Do You Manage Requests in Your Organization? · · Score: 1

    I'm using Roundup for customers issues, it's the implementation of the Software Carpentry Contest design winner. It has a great customization model, it's written in python, I'm using the MySQL backend, some others are available, the main developper is active and responsive.

    Reading the paper which begins with "We present a new class of ..." it sounds like these students discovered a new concept from nowhere.
    Maybe their genius has been triggered by the recent advisory about a DOS exploiting hash collisions in netfilter.

    I don't pay for email spam because I have an unlimited bandwidh.

    About Debian and OpenBSD, a quote from the latest Debian weekly news :

    Debian/OpenBSD ceased. Andreas Schuldei announced that he is discontinuing the effort to combine OpenBSD and Debian. He found out that there are several indications that security in OpenBSD is mostly at the same level as it is in Debian. Since the reason to work on this port was primary to provide a more secure environment for Debian users this port doesn't seem to be worthwhile anymore.
