  1. Re:IMAP in Pine on PINE Releases 4.50 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Pine handels one IMAP server just fine... but that's just not good enough anymore. Personally I have three imap account one three different servers, Pine doesn't not handle that well. Sure you can do it, or at leasts thats what they claim. I just gave up, it amazingly complicated to setup, just my opinion. If you just have the one IMAP server it pretty good.

    Im still looking for a console mail reader that can handle multiple IMAP servers as good as Mozilla does. Any ideas ? (And no, the answer Im looking for is NOT Gnus, I hate it okay, no reason, I just dislike it in a bad way, live with it.)

  2. Re:ReiserFS on Which Desktop Distro Will Die First? · · Score: 1

    If an error in the hardware mean that the algorithms in the filesystem software, miscalculate something, all the journaling in the world is not going to save you. Because of the complexity of the algorithms in ReiserFS it becomes more vulnerable to errors in hardware or driver, or at least that how I understand it.

    One example from the namesys FAQ:
    Q: Why do I get a signal 11 when compiling the kernel using ReiserFS and not ext2?

    A:Your CPU is overheating or you have bad RAM.

    On the other hand I used ReiserFS for 3 years now, never had a problem.... Well once, I did't read the manual and thought I understood what "Rebuild Tree" did. Im not impressed with Ext3, sure you got more recovery tools and backward compability (Are you sure you want that ?). Haven't tried XFS or JFS, but for now Im sticking with ReiserFS.

  3. Re:CD sales decreasing? on BMG Stops Producing CDs · · Score: 1

    Writing the artists seems like a good idea. In most case we doen't want the artists to suffer. But that is what will happen if they don't start demanding that the record companies treat their fans right.

    The main problem with this is of cause the bands created by the music industry doesn't really care about their fans, at least not the same way. In the end talented artists will lose money and we'll be stuck with crappy music.

    If possible buy your music directly from the artist, if you can't don't buy it. Simple as that.

    I don't hate musician, I hate the record companies.

  4. Could Linus get fired ? on Transmeta Needs Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I wonder. Would Transmeta fire Linus in order to please Microsoft.

    I mean could Microsoft say "We'll buy your CPU, but only if you dump the Linux guy". Of cause they could say that, but would Transmeta do it ? Or would Linus leave the company to help it ?
