I had a catch all account set up on both my domains, and I was recieving up to 4000 spams a day before I had had enough and switched it off - I don't care how good your filtering is - when the spam:legit email ratio is that high it's difficult to trust, and for that matter is a waste of bandwidth - Yahoo's POP3 server would also tend to fail if I had to download more than 200 at a time anyway.
You don't want a catch all email address - the only time it's ever been used by a human being was when they thought it would be funny to include some of the message before the @, etc.
cp is just as dangerous: dd is just more powerful and flexible (try cp/dev/zero/dev/hda) - unfortunately cp insists on working in 4KiB chunks, which is very irritating if you have to copy large directories full of large files, and can't use dd.
Exactly right: number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12, but it wasn't always that. More, with a pretty good introduction and brief history of the SI system, with interesting trivia (such as the fact that the metre is defined in terms of the speed of light as of 1983, rather than a wavelength of Krypton-86 radiation) here.
Thanks - thought it would. Don't think I'll bother upgrading just yet - there's no material advantage in doing so and I'm not too concerned about the legal stuff.
Does the nvidia driver work without fiddling with XF86Config/reinstallation? I gather that the split between xfree and xorg doesn't affect the nvidia driver, which is supposed to work on both, but any experiences whether this is actually the case on Gentoo?
Also, might be worth running "quickpkg xfree" just in case.
Lead the eye. One of the basic objectives of a good photograph is to keep the viewer looking at the picture. Using lines to lead the eye works well to draw attention to parts of the picture. Fences, roads, coastlines all create interest as well as leading the eye around the picture. Conversely, lines going out of the picture will lead the viewer outside of the picture, and make them feel less interested in it.
Frames, as discussed in the article also help to create interest for much the same reason, because they also try and stop the eye from leaving the image.

Why on Earth would you want to do work on photographs in 16 bit mode?
You've misinterpreted him. He means more than 8 bits per pixel per colour (the 24bit you talk about is 8 bits per colour per pixel, not including alpha). For instance my camera can produce pictures with 12 bits per pixel per colour = 36bits per pixel excluding the alpha channel (no, my camera cannot take photos with an alpha channel:). It is annoying that I can't use all the of the information in my photographs in gimp, and the grand-parent post makes a good point, but maybe someone will include this feature - it is apparently on the wish list. This is the one single feature that is holding gimp back in my opinion.
Commenting on a complaint from a Mr Arthur Purdey about a large gas bill, a spokesman for North West gas said, "We agree it was rather high for the time of year. It's possible Mr Purdey has been charged for the gas used up during the explosion that destroyed his house." (The Daily Telegraph).

I got a silver in the Physics Olympiad - and a book on the European space programme (program) - a surprisingly large book...

When people buy sony, they expect a quality product which will work properly. When they buy microsoft .... okay, point made.
/. by proxy?
I can't help but feel I'm being discriminated against.

The Right Stuff - evidently they didn't think through what would happen if they delayed the launch long enough!
I thought NASA called them extra vehicular activities or EVAs (which is my term for pulling in at the side of the road to releave myself).
Black is the new white?
Number 1 beat you to it (albeit slightly varied). Not seen number 2 yet.

No, if they did that the UN would have nothing to do all day.

You can't just send someone to jail because they can't spell. Think what would happen to Dan Quayle.

"No comment, but don't quote me"

Which is why we should tariff the import of intellectual property. /. will have to pay to host my comments submitted from the UK?

No, the stuff you put in your swimming pool is chlorate(I) ions (usually sodium chlorate(I)). The alternative is ozone gas.
Who is this General Protection Fault, and what's he doing reading my hard drive?
