Useful, but shouldn't the link be http://www.google.com/wml ??
It might just be that google sends the html page to me because my blackberry does support html too, maybe wap.google.com works okay for others with wml only phones?
I find wap quite handy for reading RSS feeds from several sites including slashdot. Bloggo is a useful RSS to WAP translation service.
I also access my Nagios monitoring server using WAP.
Wouldn't automount / autofs fall under the same shadow?
No, autofs/ automount automatically mount media (be that an NFS share or whatever) when they detect it is needed (so the process is demand driven rather than media driven).
I personally like the principle of two or three technical people coming together to quickly and informally work out the solution to a problem. We usually follow up with a quick email outlining what we have agreed (and why if that isn't obvious), the email goes to anyone technically involved in the project and any managers who may have it on their radar.
...A scheme to encourage spammers to send out even more trojan laden viruses to send their spam from compromised machines at the expense of the victim.
I fail to understand how a scheme that involves the schemes administrators making a profit for every mail sent is going to reduce the amount of mail sent.
Bill Gates is the man who made computers accessible to the common people. He certainly deserves credit for that.
I think, in the UK - which is what we're talking about right? - that honour must go to Sir Clive Sinclair.
Having said that, credit should also go to Commodore and the BBC (BBC 'B'), not to mention Alan Sugar of Amstrad (and, trust me, I tried not to - I still haven't forgiven him for killing off Sinclair and the QL!). Don't get me wrong, I'm not makingany value judgements about the quality or otherwise of any of these system - just the ability to penetrate the market and get into peoples homes, schools and businesses. Bill Gates was pretty late to the party, with his then chums at IBM.
The latest SpamAssassin is 2.62, released in the last few days here
It gives the Habeas blacklist a score of 16, (which with the default -8 for the headers gives 8 in reality) so assuming Habeas can keep the blacklist up to date (doubtfull I'd have thought) it should be effective.
blade desktops? (assuming you've not already got the hardware?). I've just read an article about them at ZDNet.
Looks like the main manufacturer at the moment is ClearCube, although HP are about to get in on the act.

Connection closed by foreign host.
Interesting that it rejects the first recipient, but accepts the second, then bomb on the DATA stage. I wonder if they're logging the email addresses that are being sent?
They are both under the same license, it's the same license and same terms that allow SCO distribute both of those pieces of software.
So how exactly is it that you figure contributors can revoke their right to use their piece of the app in the case of one and not the other?
They are not the same license they are identical licenses, they represent two seperate agreements which happen to bear the same terms, but in relation to different code.
Anyone know if KDE/Gnome or even Xfree is planning something like this? I heard talk about multiple X servers, but its not out of the box simple use, of even possible.
Mandrake supports it out of the box, and provides a menu option [Configuration->Boot & Init->New Login with GDM]. You switch with CTRL-ALT-F7, CTRL-ALT-F* etc. Works pretty well, the only issue I had was that I had to change the permissions in/dev/sound so either user could use XMMS.
Yeah, rdiff-backup is neat. I've been using it for a while now to take daily snapshots of one of my production filesystems, at a remote site where I don't have the bandwidth to do a normal backup remotely. Its also pretty cool when someone needs a restore to be able to do it immediately. I know that recent versions do quite a lot of metadata storing and theres been a lot of work on windows compatability (don't know what the staus is with NT acl's though - I'm using it between two Solaris machines).
How much of the total internet traffic is made up of email? What happends of we all install 'greylisting' filters and each email has to be resent several times? Is doubling/tripling the amount of email traffic going to be noticable?
It won't be doubling or tripling the traffic because the majority of the traffic occurs during the transmission of the headers and body, ie the DATA stage of the SMTP transaction. This approach temporarily rejects the mail after the MAIL and RCPT stages which are only a few bytes each, so the email itself will only be transmitted once when it is finally accepted.
"SCO is also today filing an amendment to the complaint against IBM for a permanent injunction requiring IBM to cease and desist all use and distribution of AIX and to destroy or return all copies of UNIX System V source code. In the amended complaint, SCO is seeking additional damages from IBM's multi-billion dollar AIX-related businesses that began accruing Friday, June 13th at midnight."
Time for IBM to countersue perhaps. I wonder if this is what they have been waiting for?
..why should I need something at the end of my address which says exactly where my house is, isn't that what the address is for? Postal codes are not an alternative to addresses, they're codes for the postal service. I always forget my postcode anyway, guess thats because I never post myself home.
I agree - I was really impressed when I installed the toolbar about how much effort they had gone to to make it clear exactly what it did and to address privacy concerns. If you want to worry about privacy lets go back to bashing Kazaa and Bonzai Buddy and.. and.. and...
This rather depends on how the worm picks the IP addresses it tries to connect to. If its totally at random then it may never hit your internal servers (or not very soon). If it only hits public address ranges then most internal networks are safe. On the other hand if it primarily targets hosts on the same subnet then Monday's not going to be good for lots of people!
Slashdot Mirror
In that case you should perhaps try visiting the link in the article to the manufacturers website - as that seems to be their other product.
I have no problems getting a serial console on my G2's. Just added the following line to /etc/inittab
S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -r -s 115200 ttyS0
(after the mingetty line - can't remember if I also had to install mgetty)
I also added the following to the kernel 'append' options in lilo.conf
console=ttyS0,115200
Then you can use ILO's serial console to your hearts content. I also use this with BL10e blade servers.

Perhaps you're thinking of supermount

That'll be SPF you're talking about there then.

But Utah is the home of the morons, or did I mishear something..?

Theres now an integer only decoder library for Vorbis called Tremor (see here).
Strangely they describe it as a codec, even though it's apparently only a 'dec'.

Maybe IBM should buy SUN and then use there [sic] options to buy a large chunk of SCO at bargain basement prices.
Sco market value: $136,513,460
Sco share price: $10.46
Number of shares: 13 051 000 shares
Sun's share option: 210 000 shares
Suns option as percentage of total: 1.6%
Thats very much minority shareholder territory I think.
Like mandatory pop-ups...
I tried g4u, didn't like it. As far as I can remember its essentially...
dd | gzip > file
Which is probably okay if your partition is full, but otherwise sucks. It doesn't even seem to bother trying to zero slack space on the disk first.
