Yeah, you can enable BSD Configuration Files in Directory Access, but I can't think of a real compelling reason to go that far. Never done it myself, but I assume it works.
I'm a fan of Dotster. I've been using them as a registrar and domain server for years and I have no complaints. At $15/year, it's pretty reasonably priced. They seem to be under pretty constant renovations in a good way, updating services and their interface as time goes on. (Unlike some companies that grow stagnant.)
If I load an image or a link from spam, it's possible that a spammer could be validating my e-mail address for future sale, or perhaps increased spamming since he knows someone is actually reading the message. For example, http://server.foo/image.gif?id=ab0a98df12j3 could be unique to the spam that was sent to me. If any user-agent accesses that URL, the spammer knows that my e-mail is active and I'm reading his junk.
I don't know if they actually do this in practice, but I'm wont to load HTML messages because of it.
Slip a letter under a few of your professors' doors, or do a hit-and-run drop off at your university's help desk, if you're really worried about retaliation.
Well actually, I was being sarcastic. "Enterprise operating system" and such, with judges swayed by shiny buttons and a pretty color scheme, etc. etc. Got a -1 Offtopic when I was already at 0, though, so maybe I should stick to just reading the articles. =P
I set up TWiki a few days ago, and I'm still trying to grasp all the concepts. I'm getting there, slowly. (I haven't had much time to read through the docs yet.) It has some weird features, like saying "SET variable = value" inside a page and suddenly having that variable available to the whole site. Very different from what I've seen and worked with in the past.

My Epson 777i seems to be possessed ever since I installed Slackware 9 with CUPS. When I print a document, the cursor does random things, like move around and click.
I'm thinking about opening The Gimp and letting it draw little pictures for me. Hopefully nothing satanic..
Here at the Rochester Institute of Technology, all Windows file sharing ports are blocked between the internal network at the Internet. I believe Mac ports are turned off as well (along with SMTP, to boot).
Any user who is violating the network policy in some way, be it running some sort of illegal file server or unknowningly hosting something of the same sort, has their network jack deactivated.

I will create a device that sends watchers thirty seconds into the future. Pure genius.
Yeah.. They're too smart to fall for the same trick. ;) (Though personally, I hate this practice.)
It's a wiki, which implies back-revisions. It's just a matter of fighting the trolls until they get bored.

% setenv PATH ${PATH}:/usr/local/bin
/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
% echo $PATH
% unsetenv PATH
And bash:
$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
$ echo $PATH
$ unset PATH
There are other differences, of course, but it's a start.
As you mentioned, chsh will not work.

The Hubzilla was always one of my favorites. This one's Firewire, but worth it for a laugh.
I read /. at work, natch.

Or, in the case of nitotine, you make someone addicted, and the government increases the price.

Also, RedHat is super pretty!

Actually, didn't apple have some sort of agreement with Apple Corps. (The Beatles' label) about this very thing?
Utter bullshit. I'm disgusted.

We went on vacation and asked a neighbor to watch the house for us. She came over one afternoon just in time to see the TV turn off.
I think she wandered around the house, scared out of her wits, for half an hour. Probably figured it was a burgular or a ghost.
Hehe.. OS X 10.0 was a step up from OS 9, yes, but I'm glad we got 10.2.x relatively quickly. 10.0 was painfully slow..
I'm still itching to install OS X Public Beta again, just as a refresher on how far we've come.
Just trying to keep up with Slackware.
"Are you running Linux 9 yet?"
Several years ago, I gave a lift to a pair of Appalacian trail hikers. They had started in Georgia, and I met them in New Hampshire.
"Rancid kitchen towel" isn't quite strong enough to describe the smell. They might as well have been decomposing in the back of my car.
On a different note, my last girlfriend enjoyed my underarm smell very much. To each her own, I guess.
