Back in the way early 80's, my father was a programmer on a few IBM mainframes. Although we had this fantastic Tandy TRS-80 with the dual drives and b/w integrated monitor at home to play with.
I remember it used to run Visicalc, all our home expenses would trundle through the program to manage the families finances.
We used to also have one of those big fuck-off printers which was a clunker! Fantastic device, who can forget the large orange reset button and the fantastic array of BASIC programs available.
Those were the days!
I recently found a Perl CGI version of Eliza, which used to run on the TRS-80 which brought back more memories....
sendmail was delivering mail long before the first source line of qmail was created, a little credit where credit is due.
I use qmail quite extensively, however what bugs me the most, is the significant amount of effort required in patching the souce to allow qmail to do anything fancy besides the basic functionality of delivering mail.
and all I will say is that I am glad that the electric vehicle has been revoked.
Not only are batteries a danger to our environment they are made with toxic materials that harm our environment. Yes you can go on about as much as 90% of a battery is recyclible but its not a solid fix to the problem.
My opinion is that in 5 years time is should be law that all the car companies in the world must provide a demo of a car running on hydrogen. You think its not possible? Well the technology is already here, its just that all the oil companies run the show (similar the ciggarette companies).
Too bad noone gives a damn about anything except their buttom line and short term balance sheet until its too late.
Unfortunately, my apcaccess doesnt work because the apcupsd service doesnt start cleanly (USB support is flakey), so my UPS just sits there and monitors the line and doesn't shutdown the box, which is still OK. We have reliable power in my area, only the odd spike etc.
However, if you're using a USB UPS, you can do something like cat/proc/bus/usb/devices to get the same results.
Take a look at the outputs of the mount command if your device is mounted under a different USB filesystem path.
My UPS is within the serial range for callback - doh!
With the way humans are going, it will be interesting if we will indeed last the next 500 years?
I read that our newest bridge named Anzac Bridge in Sydney has a 400 year warranty. Just wondering if we will be around to claim it in the event of it needing a serious service:)
We will have some serious global issues if we don't start to discourage the use of fossil fuels, hell its upsetting we have the power to use hydrogen + solar energy but our business and world powers are more interested in here and now profit.
Ever since NT4 became a serious peice of infrastucture, Microsoft provided Resource Kits available to manage the more advanced characteristics. You can control everything that the GUI offers. It's just that a lot of people don't bother to look past the surface of the Control Panel.
If you want more advanced analysis of NT domain related issues, RPC problems etc, mass creation of accounts the only solution you have is to use the command line.
I have a friend who is a spammer, I told him that what he does totally sucks, his come back was that his making good cash out of it.
I receive about 10 emails per day that are spam, and this is through my regular ISP email account - not an MSN/Hotmail-we-sell-your-email-addresses service.
The simple fact we have spam is because the recipient either buys the viagra or views their website on how to make some serious cash. So obviously there is food out there that is supplying the food chain.
Spam isn't going to go away - lets hope the Internet community becomes a bit more clued in on the ramifications of buying some crap from the spammers.
Hope it has better milage than Winzip

I remember when Winzip came out and PkZip didnt really have it together in terms of a GUI, when companies started seeing the benefit of using compression Winzip came along and took most of the market only because it had a half decent GUI, Pkzip's was pretty shoddy, if anything Winzip had better icons heheh.
Not being a troll, but ever sick of the woes of the 2 gig limit on zip's data structure. (I'm in data engineering and usually work with files over 6 gig) Other missing features were not being able to easily click on a few files/dirs and select the size of the volumes (disk span) and save the files to the current dir without sticking in floppies one at a time, poor password/encryption security.
Winrar on the other hand has had their features for years including an 8 gig limit on rar's, (one of the major reasons i *had* to switch) you can also setup policies so each time you create a rar it will follow the policy you setup originally in the configs.
Supports multiple NTFS file/permission streams among other things.
I hope the new PK Inc can live up to some of the features in rar, they may have a good chance...

A reminder to all DNS administrators to enforce the use of certificates to validate who they are before any changes are permitted.

Not exactly so.

The problem is the receiver of the spam.

This will probably provide inroads to create easily scripted trojans, virus's in QT applications?
Also with linking support for Active X within the QT suite, it sure sounds like a cocktail of fun for would-be viruses.
Look out KMail!
start with a new haircut :)
