This article hits the nail on the head. I was almost ready to give up on T-Bird and resort to using Microcrap. Yes T-bird is that bad when you need to read a dozen IMAP accounts some of which are on gmail.
The solutions posed make sense. What I'd like to know is more about the tool used to diagnose this: PerfProtector. There are only passing mentions of it as open source/ freeware but google reveals no known source for download.
You must be a Republican. The only way out of our mess is to get rid of our collective debt. After all who do we owe it to? Ourselves of course. We can do one of two things to flush our debt, one is to universally default on all debt, the other is to inflate the money supply. This is what always happens at the end of an economic Kondratiev wave (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kondratiev_wave ) like it or not. Sooner or later the Chinese are going to refuse to buy dollars denominated debt at which point the federal Reserve will have to step in and buy it. That's when the value of my underwater house will start appreciating again and I can repay the bank with devalued dollars.
For the Americans here, the inflation of the 1980's paid off the Vietnam war in less than 10 years.
For me Gizmo5 and sipgate.com provide all the VoIP services I used to use skype for. In fact when I combine Google Voice with either Gizmo5 or sipgate.com, and a Linksys 3102 SPA box, I can not only replace skype, but replace my land line as well. I also do most voice communication at home, so I ditched my cell plan and got a T-mobile prepaid plan. Now if I receive a call via GV on my cell phone, the moment I walk in the door I can transfer it to VoIP.
If I had an asterisk box set up, I could probably do GV-connected outbound calling automagically from my land phone. At the moment I place most calls via the web interface.
I know Skype can do IM and video chat, but frankly I never needed that. so yes, SIP is a good alternative. And ekiga can do both SIP and video chatting using open protocols. Works quite great, despite SIP's retardedness.
... and sipgate.com has run out of numbers for North America so everyone is SOL.
Are you nuts? As much as I despise Christian Extremists they didn't drive three airplanes into buildings, they didn't murder 3000 Americans. Islamic extremists want a religious war. They firmly believe they will win any such war just as firmly as Fundamentalist Christians and hyper Orthodox Jews believe that the same God is on their side. Since it's the exact same God I'm hoping * (whatever his/her/its name is) will start bitch slapping these idiots.
If you can bring the system to life then login as root and make an old fashioned tar file of whatever you want to recover. Then use something like Windows Hyperterminal that supports Z-Modem file transfer (gosh I'm old) . On the Xenix side just type "sz filename" and the transfer should start up. A word of caution however. I did this once (about 20 years ago) and the transfer took 4 days. On the last day we had a power failure and I had to start all over again so make sure both boxes are on reliable power.
If you want to mount the disk on a new machine good luck. The disks are ST506 format.
All the ones I've been trying are over the ear hearing aids with a small tube that runs into your ear. They are called open fit so there is not molding or any of that stuff. One size fits all.
Entitled attitude? This guy is trying to save money or find an alternative solution to a problem, as he can't afford the options he's seen so far. We should frikkin' elect him to public office.
Thanks but no thanks. I ran for School Committee when my kids were young. I lost but I only spent $35. The guy that beat me spent $10,000 of his own money on a job that doesn't pay anything. I've been asked repeatedly to run again for School Committee, Selectman and even State Rep. Only the State Rep job pays anything but it's less than half of what I was making before my data was taken over by H1b's. My wife has threatened to divorce me if I ever run for public office again.
Honestly, it never occurred to me to become a registered deaf person. I wouldn't know where to go for that.
Linux systems (and Unix systems before them) can most certainly get rooted. I had a Linux server (I was a mere contractor) get rooted about 4 years ago. It was pretty well locked down to outside penetration but unfortunately many of the inside PC users eventually knew the root password. For example the boss gave his secretary the root password so that she could login and start tape backup jobs - she stayed logged in as root for weeks at a time. We never did figure out how it was rooted but it clearly was and we had to regrove it and create web only interfaces (a limited Webmin account actually) for worker bees to do admin jobs.
If you look at this map there is a chain of islands from Crete through Rhodes to Asia Minor in one direction and to Greece in the other. The links don't appear to be more than about 30 miles apart or within sight. I'm sure the idea of a paddle came early to man or proto-man. I don't see this as a very remarkable revelation.
One problem in using Loran is that only older craft still have it and few still know how to use it. I'm not sure I could even buy a LORAN-C receiver anymore. The real question is when will they stop putting the LORAN lines on ships charts. Once that happens LORAN is really toast.
I took a quick look at the last 500 records in a weblog I manage. Firefox was way down on the list. At the top was MSIE 7.0 with 130 hits followed by MSIE 8 with 88. Firefox 3.01 had 71 hits, Chrom.02 had 54, Safari 4.03 had 39 hits followed, finally by Firefox 3.5.5 with 36 hits. Sorry I look at real data not someones wish-list.
I had, until recently, a 2000 model year Saab model 95. It was the most comfortable car I have ever owned but the most expensive to maintain. There were 22 pumps (I kid you not) and I think I replaced almost half at an average of $600 per pump. I'm not sure what happened but the automotive part of Saab was not well designed and reminded me of an old Fiat I once had only an order of magnitude more expensive to fix.
And they wonder why the ordinary citizen has utter contempt for the laws and the courts. I had an almost identical thing happen to me. Fortunately I had a reasonable judge threw the case out but not before an over zealous prosecutor publicly told me that for $200 she would drop the charges. I yelled at the top of my lungs that I would NOT pay a bribe to make the state do the right thing. The judge heard me and asked what I meant - I told her and charges were dismissed. I hope that junior DA rots in hell for her complete lack of ethics.
I can attest to the volume of junk passed as email. I've had the same email address since the early 1990's. I get ~30 legitimate emails a day. My filters (Spamassassin, RTBL's and iptables - yes I run Linux) reject between 3,000 and 8,000 emails every day.
Does your rib cage and pelvis flare out to make you egg-shaped, does your lower jaw jut forwards, and is your skull elongated? Seriously, look at a Neaderthal skeleton side-by-side with a human one. A heavy brow is the least of a Neanderthal's odd traits.
Also, there's no evidence that Neanderthals were hairier than humans.
It's the Iranians that are saying that they are doing everything short of making WMD but they are developing rockets that will reach Israel and Europe and that IF they had WMD's they'd wipe Israel off the map. I'd say they are dangerous bastards bent on starting a war no one wants.
Since journalism doesn't pay anymore most good writers have found a home in industry writing articles that will pass as journalism. Blame publishers for this. They only want to sell ad space, not pay for content. This is what you get. The next time you read your local newspaper look for planted stories. You'll find lots of them.
What gobbledygook - "anthropogenic" warming is a hypothesis that is difficult to test. The climatic optimum was a lot hotter than now and there were very few human campfires contributing CO2 to the atmosphere. Even the Medieval Warming period was a lot warmer than now. Greenland was called Greenland because it was. Lief Erickson had a dairy farm there and Eriksfiord was ice free in the summer.
The truth is we are coming out of the little ice age and since 1980 there has been a dramatic acceleration in global warming data. No doubt about that but is this the end of the world? I doubt it. One burp from a good sized volcano could throw everyone calculations (not to mention real data) out the window. On the Geological scale of things we are actually due for another Ice Age. - SG
Dan Bernstein has mostly been off in left field over the years but I have to agree with him 100% this time. IPV6 is fundamentally flawed because of its all or nothing approach. I would recommend scrapping the current IPV6 entirely and replacing it with something more like this:
8 bytes - reserved for expansion 4 bytes - current BGP Autonomous System number 4 bytes - current IPv4 address
This way IP(V8) could be built up from the core outwards. Once the core of the Internet is talking IPV8 the interior can expand as needed and as noted in the Bernstein article. This scheme provides an almost transparent transition to the new and improved Internet.
Back in July someone put up a page that mentions me so now, just when I'm beginning to feel special you go and tell me I'm just one of 3 million pages. It kinda popped my balloon. So much for my millisecond of fame.
If they really wanted to stay afloat they'd provide at least minimal tech support. Right now their tech support is just about worthless: You have a broken install on a NEW machine. Call Microsoft or PAY us to help you fix it.
That's NOT acceptable so after 20 years of Dell equipment (including managing a datacenter with hundreds of Dell servers) - I'm all HP from here on out... until they screw up.

And how is this not evidence of prior art?
