I've often wondered why the do-not-call-list was based on phone-numbers and not on persons.
Like submit your name or so to the do-not-call-list and that would be it. You do not want to be contacted by whatever means.
It would also place a burden on telemarketeers/... in that they would have to verify who the numbers they want to call belong to.
Actually, it will shutdown if your BIOS supports ACPI; most do these days.
Compiling ACPI-support in the kernel (inlucing thermal zones, fan...) helps you control the temperature in your machine, and you really don't have to do anything. The kernel handles it all.
I found out the hard way, and learned something by it, wondering why my laptop would keep overheating and hence shutting down, and this ever since trying the kernel 2.6.x. Stupid kernel configuration choices where the culprit.
Try using it as an POP/SMTP-server with a regular mail-client. I use Evolution and Yahoo,. Works great. When I send mail through Evolution, there are no annoying signatures/footers.
There is a way to get it for free, at least there was, I think if you agree that they do sometimes send you some messages too about special offers or whatever. It's called the Yahoo Delivers membership. I was worried this would open the way to spam-hell, but I do still only get a few spam-messages a week, if that. And that's after more than a year of extensive use.
A lot of people mentioned XUL. But, isn't this also a lot like what Glade offers ?

The minute I discovered Python, I never went back to PHP. And that's just for the sake of the language.
Once you look into it, you'll understand that stuff like Zope really needs stuff like Python. Python really is that great and well worth learning.
It really is more powerfull. And a lot easier, IMHO, to extend than PHP.
Something else I do like about Python is that IMHO it is becoming the the facto scripting language in (at least) Linux. You can use it to create Gnome APPS, there is now a pretty good mod_python for Apache, and that's a lot faster than PHP, it can be embedded in PostGres... Python talks to all the databases you want. You can do Python in Gnumeric, there are talks about integrating it in Openoffice.org...

What I worry about, is that exact license.
They "gave" it to CA, CA seems to have accepted the license.
The license is VERY restrictive though. I mean EXTREMELY RESTRICTIVE.
I wonder whether CA by accepting that very license gave away their rights to do with Linux whatever they could do before.
That's even way worse than SCO just wanting to give an impression of legitimacy. They actually screwed CA big time. Or at least, you could see it that way.
And hence: Could CA now be sued by SCO for normal Linux "use" ?

One format, nice, but then: which one. I don't see us agreeing on this one. And I also doubt whether autopackage will be successfull.
The main problem is not the format I guess, it's the dependencies. The only way you can resolve dependency hell, is by establishing a central repository that all distros use.
That would however indirectly imply that every distro has their stuff compiled the exact same way. But what then , what would be the difference between the several distributions...?
The only way you could achieve this, one standard format, would be source I guess, but hey, we've got tar.gz...
