And note that there are versions that are much more up-to-date and are perfectly reasonable choices for an MTA, such as qmail-ldap.
Is that a bunch of patches that have been regression-tested against one another?
Because that was always qmails ongoing problem; in order for it to be useful IN REAL LIFE you had to apply dozens of third-party patches, NONE of which had been regression-tested against each other... any potential security advantages that the original "As Dan Intended It" qmail may have had are *gone*.
Java can appear to run just fine for hours or even days and then suddenly its like a RAM black hole... you could give it all the RAM in your entire server room, city, continent or planet and it still wouldn't be enough.
My point is that if you are sodomising someone and kill someone else (for whatever reason) while engaged in that act of sodomy it *seemed* to imply that you were automatically guilty of murder and would face life imprisonment or death sentence.
I felt that, despite my own anti-sodomy views, this seemed a little harsh.
So if you are a gay soldier and you are sodomizing your boyfriend and someone breaks in and attacks you and you kill them in self defense, thats 'murder' and subject to death penalty/life imprisonment because you were engaged in the perpetration of sodomy at the time that the killing took place...
wow.
I mean I don't agree with or believe in sodomy or gayness (thats a whole 'nuther debate, lets leave that out of this) but even I think thats harsh.
Rant as you will against corporations, it's people who make the decisions, the same as with any business.
And people tend to be short-sighted and put short term self interest many many miles ahead of virtually anything else.
Especially shareholders because they want to see *active* returns on investment even if that means slaughtering the goose and butchering the golden eggs out of its steaming corpse.
This is pretty much the exact scenario outlined in the (in)famous "Unabomber manifesto".
He starts from the premise that high tech societies need tighter controls on individual freedoms as their complex infrastructure makes them vulnerable to the vagaries of a free society. The more complex the infrastructure the more requirement there is to make sure that everyone required to manage and maintain that infrastructure does not dick around.
He believes that as societies head toward ever more delicate infrastructures the pressure on individuals to 'behave' becomes more intense and that this will lead to one of two states; either society will become almost hive-like or the technological society will break down because the individuals composing that society will crack under the strain.
Now, I don't agree with him blowing people up, well blowing fingers off of people, but he makes a LOT of sense in that manifesto.
Me would think a Fiber cable would be considerably cheaper and ultimately provide a cleaner digital signal to boot. Not to mention that fiber doesn't have the issues of being affected by interference like copper is.
Rubbish.
The laser which is used to illuminate the fiber optic cable can interfere with the signal.
You will find that video signal sent down fiber optic cable will often have a slightly reddish tinge to it.
I'm guessing US users are a large percentage of Usenet users, so if you remove them they decrease the overall "quality" of Usenet
If you were to do a survey of the postings on the alt.sex.stories group you'd find that virtually all of the bestiality, pedophilia, scat, incest and snuff stories come from American authors and posters.
So I dunno about this 'remove US users and decrease the overall "quality" of usenet'...
I think that stockholders are only interested in one thing; making great steaming gobs of cash as fast as possible.
They take no pride in the company in which they have stock. They don't care about employees or customers. They have huge great dollar signs in their eyes and cannot see past them.
They would gladly fuck it to death for all the money they can and then dispose of the corpse.
That, my friend, is 'fiduciary duty'. Fuck 'em to death, wring the cash out then wash your hands and move to the next target to suck the life out of.
The prevalence of truck-like cars for use as the main vehicle in America stems mostly from marketing savvy, not usefulness. Add to that the fuel economy standard loophole that allowed them to be gas pigs.
As I understand it, there are emission surcharges applied in America to manufacturers of vehicles. If the vehicle produces above a threshold of emissions the maker has to pay a surcharge.
But the surcharge is waived for light trucks on account of the idea that light trucks are used for commercial purposes.
Thus, vehicle manufacturers started marketing 'light trucks' at ordinary consumers rather than fix the emissions coming from their regular family cars.
Silly religionists! You worship out of fear, because your god is clearly not ethical.
Actually... my interpretation of the Christian, Moslem and the Jewish 'deities' is that they are, in fact, one and the same entity and that this entity, if it does actually exist, is thoroughly evil.
It *is* the deciever that it keeps warning people about. Its the old strategy of misdirection; it pretends that theres a *seperate* being thats evil and that it is actually the 'good guy'.
But it doesn't stand up to analysis or critical thinking; it doesn't take much to see through the tissue of lies in the bible, koran etc.
These people, christians, moslems and jews, are the real devil worshippers who obey a foul entity which does not have the best interests of the human race at heart.
Its like Cthulhu or something. No wonder it doesn't want us to see its face...
My experience with vegans, living with them and working with them, is that it isn't so much about the dietary discipline (which is pretty substantial) but about the 'animal rights' political agenda. These have been people who, for example, won't use leather.
Thats funny because the definition of regulated I gave is what I've had from various American pro-gun supporters. Not one but several. Someone is misinterpreting something somewhere.

When WoW came out there was a TON of stuff missing.
Go check the early patch notes.
sheesh...
Nuff said.

Don't forget to include positive commentary on the licensing and patch status.
Anyone who champions DJB software already has to bear the burden of running qmail. It doesn't get much worse than that already.
and install DJBDNS on a Linux box instead.
I hope you don't also disable the MTA and install qmail instead...
How long did you run it for?
Java can appear to run just fine for hours or even days and then suddenly its like a RAM black hole... you could give it all the RAM in your entire server room, city, continent or planet and it still wouldn't be enough.
So what's your point?
My point is that if you are sodomising someone and kill someone else (for whatever reason) while engaged in that act of sodomy it *seemed* to imply that you were automatically guilty of murder and would face life imprisonment or death sentence.
I felt that, despite my own anti-sodomy views, this seemed a little harsh.
Does that clear things up for you?
Jeez
So if you are a gay soldier and you are sodomizing your boyfriend and someone breaks in and attacks you and you kill them in self defense, thats 'murder' and subject to death penalty/life imprisonment because you were engaged in the perpetration of sodomy at the time that the killing took place...

For those interested, Wonderland is written in Java.
and will go down in history as the first virtual world which requires all the RAM in the known universe.
The fact is that humans are K selectionspecies par excellence.
I'd dispute that.
For, say, middle class Germans yes, they are K selected.
For, say, poor slum dwellers in Mexico City I'd say they are r selected.
What is it about that software that attracts the GPL violators like an inbox attracts spam?
In Soviet Russia, spam attracts inbox and GPL violators attract software.
For those reasons alone I never trust any sysadmin anywhere, period.
Then please take the advice of a sysadmin; never *ever* hire a sysadmin.
If you can't trust your sysadmin then don't have one. Don't be in a position where you need to hire or manage one.

A very scary kind of sense.

Actually, I think we might have made it to a point that we NEED a civil war to have any hope of improving our government.
If you want any help with that just ask, I'll be happy to come over and assist in any way I can.
I have (had) an uncle who fought in the Spanish Civil War and who I am very proud of. Fighting the modern-day fascists would be great.

Yes, actually. Second Life's snapshot function is shit
I lol'd in rl when I read this.
Srsly.
Second Life's $function is shit for almost all values of $function that you could possibly think of.

Veganism as political movement.
Would we just toss aside General Relativity, never to see it again, because we don't want to be associated with the author?
I think its very likely what would have happened.
You clearly have some experience with this game as it currently stands so...
Is it true that it uses a *turn* based combat system??
Thanks!
