From the FAQ: How can I make Outlook talk to the Kolab Server?
You need a Plug-in called InsightConnector from http://bynari.com. This is proprietary software and you need to aquire a license. Demo versions are available. A second company, konsec.com, announced to make a similiar plug-in offering in Q3 2003.
Later on it states: Is there no Free Software Outlook plugin? Will you create one?
We are not aware of an existing Free Software plug-in for Outlook.
Within the Kroupware project we have not been contracted to create such a plug-in.
"Kervin L. Pierre" announced to work on it and started sourceforge.net/projects/otlkcon.
The best zip program for Windows is FilZip. IT'S FREE!!!! It also supports ace, arc, arj, cab, gz, lha, jar, rar, tar, AND it has strong encryption (AES)
It also looks like PKWare isn't going to put their new stuff into the public domain, as they did with their deflate algorithm. Considering the fact that I haven't used a PKWare product to handle ZIP archives since the DOS days, this is probably the only way they can survive.
I guess we won't be seeing a free Linux version any time soon either. Not that we need it, GPG does a good enough job at compression and multi-platform compatibility to make this completely unnecessary.
Ideally, a new extension should be used for any format that is incompatible with existing ZIP archives. For example, EZP for encrypted zip, or SZP for secure zip.
But it's likely that they'll keep using ZIP because of its brand recognition. That's really too bad, but at the same it might frustrate people enough to get them to try another compression format, like BZIP.
Or better yet, figure out how to jam DirectTV's satellites. Wasn't there a story on Slashdot a few days ago about that? Jam them for 30 minutes during the highest-rated sitcom from some random location, then pack up your equipment and do it again from somewhere else a few days later.
Permanently jamming the signal is difficult and will probably result in getting tracked down. But doing it randomly will annoy the hell out of millions of viewers.

a decent capture card for Linux that will do realtime MPEG2
The Myth TV mailing list suggests that the Hauppage PVR-250 is the best choice. Someone on the list said it can be found for $90 OEM.

According to the MythTV site, you'll need two TV tuner cards to do that.
A lot of people seem to be asking about how well Scribus imports Quark or InDesign files. First of all, there's almost no compatibility between commercial DTP file-formats. It's already been mentionned that InDesign doesn't do a very good job with PageMaker files, and there's almost no compatibility between Quark and InDesign. And it's not even worth discussing Publisher.
So why should Scribus be held to a higher standard? If Adobe and Quark decided not to waste their time reverse-engineering the other's file formats, why should the OSS community? DTP requires such precision that a less-than-perfect conversion is useless.
So if the developers are reading this, don't waste your time on import or export filters for other DTP file fomats!!!!!!
That's a wonderful observation. But you're not absolutely correct. The symbol you mention is pointing counter-clockwise, which technically makes it a Hindu religious symbol.
A Swastika must point clockwise. It's supposed to represent progress, and in Nazi propaganda films, the symbol is animated and rotates clockwise too.
1) Design letterhead for the police department, include a city seal and a motto ("To serve and protect") List a false address in case they ever mail something. The envelope will end up with the local cops, who have plenty of time and motivation to hunt you down.
2) Three numbers should be listed: main, fax, and emergency - the voice numbers should be promptly answered with "Police Department" until the information from eBay is received - make sure these are "American" voices, foreign accents will arouse suspicion. The numbers should be as similar to each other as possible. Again, try to use numbers that won't eventually lead back to you.
3) A specific, verifiable complaint must be included. If you want info on Seller X, bid on one of his items as Seller Y. The request to eBay should state that "Seller Y has filed a complaint against Seller X" - the information for the transaction should be easily verifiable by eBay.
4) Design a fake police ID in your favorite graphics program. Print it, make a bad photocopy, and include it with the request.
Your goal is to provide eBay with with whatever information they might be looking to verify, and to make them comfortable enough to accept it at face value. For example, you DON'T want them looking up the real number for the police, you want them to use the numbers you provide.
If this succeeds, you've got their trust. Referencing this case should allow you to bypass scrutiny in future requests. Once you have this information, wait a week, and send them a forged subpeana (sic) asking for detailed financial information. Include their previous response.
Any easy way for me to save pages I'm looking at? Perhaps a little button in Mozilla that automatically saves the page with graphics, and places everything neatly into a timestamped folder?
I absolutely agree - there are minimum wage laws to consider. Check out this article . This Pizza place is paying homeless people to advertise - but they're almost definitely violating labor laws.
You don't want one of your "volunteers" suing for back wages, do you?
Maybe giving them non-monetary gifts would be a good workaround?
It will be interesting to see the legal fight that occurs when they try implementing this in handguns. Smartguns with shooting logs, including timestamps and biometric reading indicating the shooter. You can bet the NRA will fight that with everything they've got, even though it will have no significant impact on legitimate gun use.
Unless the fancy electronics in your gun fail when you need it the most. Or if the gun's biometric authentication refuses to let you fire the gun because your hand is dirty. If armed intruders just burst into your bedroom, every second counts.
You're right and also consider this: by increasing the living standard in these 3rd world countries, we reduce the number of potential terrorists. Someone having a nice job, being able to afford a home and take care of his family is far less likely to be a threat to us. There will always be exceptions, of course, but poverty breeds hostility. Combine that with constant exposure to anti-American propaganda, and you have a serious threat to our security.
Check out my comments on the Hiptop forum about the B&W version and the responses that were posted.
I was going to get the B&W unit until I found out (from reading the message boards) that websites have to be "supported" by Danger in order to display on the Sidekick. In other words, if you go to an unsupported site, you get a "sorry" error mesage on your screen. Then you e-mail Danger and ask them to add the website, but people on the boards have complained that AFTER A YEAR it hasn't happened.
This matters to ME because I want to be able to view my own web pages. If I'm running Squirrelmail or Horde on my cable connection, there's ZERO guarantee that I'll be able to use to Sidekick to access it.
Since Danger is continuing to make users rely on their servers for EVERYTHING (including syncing your contacts and calendar), I doubt that this has changed.
My Nokia 3650 will arrive in a few days - free after rebate from Amazon. For the money, that's the best "smart phone" out there.
Orienteering... It is also cheap! A compass is under $10 at Wal-Mart. In central Florida, one event is only $6.00 (including a map).
Whaddaya need a compass for? When I was young, we didn't have these fancy "compasses" - we had to find our bearing using the sun, and if it was overcast, migrating birds!
Why can't states figure out that if they are spending more than they are getting in income then cut programs, cut spending, cut, cut, cut. If people want those programs bad enough then they will authorize a gas tax and if not then they obviously didn't feel it was worth paying taxes for.
Excellent point - I completely agree with you. In this case, since the state isn't liable for injuries or deaths caused by horrible road conditions, it would be perfectly legal for legislators to let Oregon's roads degrade. I'm being completely serious here - people have to realize that it takes MONEY to have good roads, clean air, and safe neighborhoods.
But I can tell you why they won't do it. Because people are stupid and they'll end up blaming the politicians currently in control. The governor and the members of the state assembly want to get reelected, and they'll do anything to keep their voters appeased.
I like what Colorado did - they just slashed school budgets. The reason for that, of course, is that the consequences of ruining the school system won't be seen for decades, long after the current politicians have left office. Their only concern, it seems, is for the next election.
Agreed. Also keep in mind that black box data can be used in conjuction with other evidence - such as marks left on the driver's body by the seatbelt.
Conversely, if a car company was trying to prove that a driver was not wearing a seatbelt during a crash (which possibly led to his or her death) then the bruises left by a seatbelt would be FAR more convincing to a jury than the data from a black box.

I thought it was public knowledge that their "Click-N-Run warehouse" is nothing more than the Debian mirrors.

No, you can use it as many times as you want before it expires. But doing so reduces your ability to track a fraud back to a particular merchant.
Permanently jamming the signal is difficult and will probably result in getting tracked down. But doing it randomly will annoy the hell out of millions of viewers.

You guys must have missed the sign: DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS.

According to his FAQ he's using Microsoft Visual C++ for the Windows port. Perhaps that's the problem. :)

Kids these days...
My mom lives in Baltimore, where these cameras have recently been put EVERYWHERE - I'll mention this to her. Thanks for the idea.

Too bad for the kids. Too bad they can't vote.
my brother (age 12) and sister (age 18) can't stop playing the GameCube version - it looks freaking amazing
