  1. opium in Macs on Torvalds Switches to a Mac · · Score: 1

    There are some stories about opium in Macs so people like me will feel really good, but if the engineers at Apple could hide some opium in the computer and keeping dissipating out for 4 years continously, history channel should make this into Modern Marvels.

    To be seriously, the reason some people claim the plastic Mac smells different from plastic Dell or whatever may be the Material Selection. Apple doesn't use Polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) or Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in its product, because of potential harm to people.

    but how much RAM you can add on a 386 board?

    BTW, the fact my B&W can run mysql+tomcat didn't excited me. I was amazed that I can still running firefox and writing posts to /. while browsing localhost in the other tab on the B&W.

    We saw this killer and that killer all the days, don't know what is the problem, why people enjoy hating somthing so much that want to kill it?

    Why don't those business guys stop hating their competitors and learn to love their costumers?

    Come on, give your costumer a hug.

  6. Re:Firefox is mostly a cute interface on Problems With the Firefox Development Process · · Score: 2, Interesting

    but built on xul, which is sort of cool XML interface, and has a lot of media coverage. Maybe the most known one outside OSS world, more than Linux.

    You know, the traffic man and the weather guy from our local radio station are talking firefox.

  11. Novell is good, but Netmail was bad on Novell Releasing Hula and 200,000+ Lines of Code · · Score: 1

    Monday night, April 19, we experienced problems on the
    Mail@"Sorry, I removed something here" e-mail system. We were able to bring the system
    online that evening but related problems caused a system
    outage early Tuesday. We brought the vendor on-site. We
    made several attempts at recovery but were unsuccessful.
    At that point we ran a program to identify all folders
    with suspected damage. Approximately five percent of
    accounts were affected. If you are receiving this note,
    you had one or more folders identified as potentially
    damaged.

    As you may be aware, the Mail@"Sorry, I removed something here" system was out of service for
    approximately 3 hours on the morning and early afternoon of
    Wednesday, May 12. A number of folders were adversely affected
    by a server crash that required some time to evaluate the scope of
    the problem and take corrective action.

    A Mail@"Sorry, I removed something here" system outage of approximately one hour during the afternoon of September 28 is being investigated by Office of Information Technology staff members and the product vendor (Novell). During the outage, the system was unavailable for sending or accessing e-mail.

    Recently, you received a message to the campus community from
    XXXXX XXXXXX, Vice President and Chief Information Officer,
    concerning the replacement of the current e-mail system.
    Since your account is on Mail@"Sorry, I removed something here", you are receiving this
    follow-up message about details of the changeover.

  12. Re:Backup? on Novell Releasing Hula and 200,000+ Lines of Code · · Score: 1

    But I am only a user. And the servers were supposed to be somewhere several miles away from my building. The story was something like that.

    And I got no email for a whole day for several times, at the beginning I was happy, you know, no email no work.

    Then I got an email with only one line from my boss, "What do you think?" Then I replied "What what do you think?"

    Then my boss replied "My new idea, I sent you email. I need your feedback."

    "???...$%^&"

    Then one day later, an email from HelpDesk told me, "Sorry, our email system crashed and some of your data were failed to recover."

    The second time, we had a report due. We have someone cooperate with us 40 miles away. And we use email to communicate. I sent out my version, waited, waited and waited. I became angry and called that guy, "hey, what do you think?"

    "I sent you email several hours ago."

    "???...@#$%"
