Group Logic has documented several cases where the sendmail program running on the Linux server lost an e-mail message.
Umm, ever heard of qmail? Postfix? Exim? All better than sendmail. It kinda makes me wonder how well the NT servers that replaced the linux servers are configured. With sys-admins who don't know to properly configure sendmail (or replace it).
Good article though, I liked all the BSD references.
Does anyone know of a cheap way of transfering music to vinyl? There is a lot of music which never makes it to vinyl which I would like to scratch to. The only way I've heard of is having it mass-pressed (500+ copies).
Thanks.
Perhaps this is slashdot's pre-april fools joke.

Why else post a link which 99% can't read, which is speculation on a product which is a year off, and only contains two vague artist's renditions?
This comment is clearly fair game. While some may disagree with it, there is no reason for this unfair moderation. With the recent wave of trolls, you wonder how moderators have enough points to make unfair moderations like this one. I've seen half a dozen pro-linux anti-IE posts moderated up, why is this put in a threshold with trolls.
How about using an ounce of common sense? Rap is an art form which is primarily based around African American culture. By supporting Signal 11's post, which made racist generalizations, he was attacking those who make up rap music (90% blacks).
Ever listened to Common? How about the Roots? Or the Coup? What about De La Soul? The list goes on.
None of these artists create music which fits your racist generalization. Most of the rap which has the elements shown in Signal 11's post is based on life experience. Maybe if you took a fair look at what you're attacking, you would begin to understand it.
If you don't like an art form, no-one is forcing you to listen to. But making negative stereotypes just shows your ignorance and immaturity.
One point which seems to have been overlooked is that WordPerfect Office 2000's dependency on WINE make it pretty much stuck on the x86 platform. I would really like to be able to run this with LinuxPPC or RedHat/sparc. I wish that corel would have opted for a native port.
With a $150+ price tag I'll will have to wait. Too bad, I was really anticipating this product
They stated that they were thinking of porting RealPlayer for Linux to PPC. Their reason for not having a port already is that they claimed that it would take a lot more than simply re-compiling their sources for a PPC.
I'd be more interested if it weren't for the Mambo X P300. In case you've been living in a hole, the P300 is a portable CD player which can play Mp3 CDs (read the specs). They're $200, and now taking pre-orders.
Now lets see:
~4 megs per MP3 650 megs per CD 650/4 = Thats about 162 songs per CD. Now there's about 15 tracks on the average CD. 162/15 = Thats about 11 albums per CD.
11 albums per CD!
How can this 64 meg device even compete? Even by recompressing your mp3s at lower bitrates (bleh), you're fitting about 1 album on this device. Do you want to be able to listen to 11 albums or 1?
The only legitimate arguement I can think of for buying Sony's device is it's small size. I personally don't find portable CD players too big. The P300 is even $100 cheaper.
This sony device sounds nice, but I think solid state audio devices are still a while off.

Just because something will be on computers shipping in 2 months does *not* mean it is released. Released means that it is *avalible* to the public.
FYI, 2/17/2000 is the day that it will be released to the public. Read for yourself if you don't believe me. .. "We must move forward, not backward, upward not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom."

What the fuck is wrong with you? People dying of cancer... LOL!!! Real funny.
Read the site. All these features are *planned*. They aren't even done with the HTML 4.0. Most of those features are still vapor.

..but I still think that "Trollers Wheel" was funnier. Man, this troll is hilarious.

Thank you. Pretty expensive but interesting none the less.

StarOffice *does* discriminate based on OS. You cannot run StarOffice on any linux platform except x86, and from the looks of things, WP2K will too.
Meanwhile I sit here staring at a 4 year old 15" ViewSonic monitor at 800x600.

I'll be six feet deep in the cold, cold ground before I will give up my /bin/bash.

Oh my - FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSDI, PicoBSD, EclipseBSD, Darwin, Debian/BSD (hopefully), etc..
As long as there is some standardization effort, the linux distributions won't become different.
This device embodies everything that you just outlined. And they're taking pre-orders today!
Now lets see:
~4 megs per MP3
650 megs per CD
650/4 = Thats about 162 songs per CD.
Now there's about 15 tracks on the average CD.
162/15 = Thats about 11 albums per CD.

Why did the the post saying the exact thing above get moderated down, yet this one gets moderated up?
