Um, no. qmail has patches available to add components to the MTA. Show me one race condition or even a "fix" on something other than changing functionality like allowing more concurrent remote connections.
Or maybe we do not like to waste time on those games. I was in to RPGs for a long time and there was a very steep learning curve compared to most games. Even if you read the manual, there is still more things that just keep gobbling up your time and without learning them, you will not have a good character. I for one enjoy a mindless game like doom or racing where almost everyone has an equal playing field without spending hours each day playing it.
by the amateur radio community is that this internet signal is transmitted through the electrical lines at frequencies from 2Mhz to 80Mhz - 80 through 6 meters. Studies have shown that, at the power levels suggested by the power companies along with the transmission lines acting like very large antennas, the typical amateur operator with have an estimated 33.7db to 65.4db of additional ambient noise to contend with, and would obviously ruin ham radio.
This verdict is quite a blow to Research In Motion, but an injunction against RIM to stop selling the BlackBerry would be devastating. I have to agree with Balsillie in his assessment that an injunction of that magnitude would be unlikely. The US$23.1 million dollar settlement could also be overturned in February. After all, anything can happen in a jury trial, and it is really not until an appellate court gets the case that the legality of NTP's claim is truly measured.
I am sure that Handspring and Good Technology, companies that have felt RIM's legal wrath in the past, are happy to see RIM get a little taste of its own medicine. An interesting thing to note about NTP is that it has no commercial operations at all. It is simply a holding company that has the patents. Needless to say, owning and defending patents could easily be a source of revenue for a company. As it relates to this case it seems that type of business structure may be profitable.
The combination of the BSD and Debian package tools works really well in Gentoo and so far I love being able to install and play with newer software. All in all I give it a thumbs up since the online documentation is excellent and will answer most, if not all of my installation questions.
I'll take a look at this as soon as it gets to 10 gigs in capacity.
If it gets to 15, then I'll really start paying attention, and start comparing it to the Archos Jukebox.
But man. If you've experienced a player with capacity measured in gigs, then it's hard to seriously consider devices that are measured in (albiet high) megabytes.
256 megs? I am an audiophile and I couldn't fit more than 3 albums and a few big audiobooks on that. Which is still a lot, I guess... But still not nearly as wonderfully flexible as my 15 gig Archos Jukebox.
Mosts standardized tests do not allow calculators with external storage slots like the old HPs and now this one. I am happy with my TI-89 anyways, the HPs cannot do symbolic integration which is very handy for checking answers.
For anyone who understands how these technologies work, this makes sense. It's one of the compromises that allows connectivity to happen over longer distances. As you might expect, signal degrades as you get furth away from the access point and rather than being unable from far away, it drops down to a lower speed. It just makes sense. Most people understand that wireless (802.11anything) technologies are shared bandwidth. People think "Oh it's 11mbit, that means when the access point is saturated it will be a total of 11mbit." Of course, this is only partly true. If everyone is really close and connecting at 11mbit then it will be 11mbit shared, but if everyone is connecting at 1mbit (far away) then it will 1mbit shared between everyone. This is nothing new, this is just how things work. This is why many access points have the option of only allowing 11mbit and 5mbit connections. This just seems like a bigger problem as peoples connection speeds are further apart in speed. (e.g. An 802.11g user humming along at 55mbit alone will loose approximately half his speed if a 1mbit user starts using half his bandwidth.) Don't expect to get the best of both worlds. People want a large range and high speed, it can't really happen, there are tradeoffs.
Just the MPAA member company shareholders/execs? Since you sound very knowledgeable about the topic, can you explain exactly how actors, directors, cinematographers, writers, or even key grips get paid when you pirate a movie and don't pay a dime for it? Or how about computer people just like us, who work on the special effects, or just install and support the computers for the people involved with a movie? You're going to save me a lot of guilt from downloading, so I await the answer anxiously. Thanks!
I've started to do some free lance computer work for small businesses. I promote linux by using it. When I built an application for a local mechanic I used an Apache/Linux webserver with a MySQL database and I installed Mozilla on his windows clients.
He very happy with my software, Mozilla, and the server. He is also happy with the overall performance and the fact that the server has not crashed. Of course I also gave him an estimate of how much everything would cost without open source. Needless to say he likes open source now. Not only does he like it, but his employees see the benefit and they learn that free doesn't mean worthless.
Even getting a small business to use open source helps a lot to promote it because every employee that uses it gets comfortable with it and has some exposure to generate marketing buzz.
Google already does this to a certain degree, although I don't know if their Activity ranking takes into account replies to topics or just number of messages or what.
If you look at the Google Groups listings you'll see a rough measure of their activity as shown by a green bar. For example, if you look at the rec.arts.comics.* hierarchy you'll see rac.xbooks has no activity. And sure enough, if you go to that group you'll see 2 posts from 2003, 8 from 2002, and a handful of older ones. rac.european has an almost full bar and looking there shows 5-10 posts each month. The others have completely full bars showing lots of posts each day.
Maybe Google should explain better how the Activity rating works; I didn't see a mention in the faq. Or perhaps show more detail than just the green bar.

are you kidding? they give you minimal information and encourage you to buy their book so you can get the rest of the info.
No, you would have to be spinning in the opposite direction or else the spinning would be slower relative to yourself.
I beta tested for the new office coming out (2003 they call it) and once again outlook is lacking support for newsgroups. Better luck next time.
