What we need is for some crackhead intelligence analyst to write a report that says there are terrorists on Mars building weapons of mass destruction, so the government will decide that the mission is worth the risk of life.
I have a Compaq Contura 410c. Ancient little thing, 486 with 16 megs. Missing its screen, hard drive has bad sectors, keyboard sucks. Been my home firewall and primary dns server for years (though it's offline now; didn't pay the DSL bill, and not in any particular hurry to give the bastards at SBC any money). Was also doing MX duty for a while, but I moved that to another box.
Just use ident. Maybe return a little extra information, like an "@sitename" suffix.
Yes, it would require immediate global adoption, but not if you just assign a higher score (towards spam) to messages that came from sites with no identd running.
Now I understand that Hotmail isn't the best architected system in the world. Looking at the URLs, it seems to me that each person has a "home" server, and so it's quite possible that sysadmins are now patiently upgrading each server by hand, in the process increasing the storage for that group of users. I don't envy them.
Having seperate servers for groups of users seems like an appropriate thing to do. Why is that a bad thing?
Didn't Sun donate a Sparc to Linus (or someone(?)) so they could get Linux running on it?
Anyway, on with it.
3) TCL came from where?
4) Java came from where?
Ew and ew, respectively. The only thing Tcl is good for is quick and dirty Tk scripts. I won't comment on Java... I'll probably get yelled at worse than for bashing Tcl.:-)
*nod* That does sound damned cool -- wonder how they do it. Just broadcast the game over the wlan? Wonder if you can get roms with an appropriately placed laptop...

Hmm. I remember seeing that before. Cool stuff.
Question: I always figured atoms looked, y'know, spherical. (Roughly, anyway.) Why do they look like little mountains in that top picture?
It's not the size, it's how you use it?
My God, it's full of starrrs....
*thud*
I put it on your tab. Hope you don't mind.
They missed, though. :P
Well, yeah. You put soap in a soap dish, wine in a wine glass... satellites in satellite dishes.
I was reading AppleGeeks earlier, this was in one of their blogs. Was thinking I should've submitted it. Oh, well.
CherryOS, do you accept this decree of shenanigans?

Best uptime was a little past one year.

And this, lady and gentlemen of Slashdot, is why I try to get drunk as often as possible.
For example, I drank shitloads of tequila at my friend's house about four hours ago, slept it off, woke up drunk, and posted to Slashdot...
"Some"?
Windows keeps you from crashing?
Besides, Net::SMTP.

Mine starts with 'xy', and it got upgraded a long time ago.
If I had to do that every time I called someone, I'd stop calling people.
:-)
I'm sure they'd appreciate it, especially after 6 shots of tequila and a few beers. Good idea, actually...

I've just come up with a new drinking game.
Any time a post references Hitler, Nazis, or tinfoil hats, you have to drink once per reference.
This post included.
By the way, that "Unix to Windows" link just sits there reloading. I'm assuming it's a cookie thing.
