  1. Re:One folder to rule them all... on Improving Unix Mail Storage? · · Score: 3, Funny
    If I need any email deleted in the last 60 days, I can get it...

    ... and so can the FBI, the SEC, and the Attorney General. Using Exchange should not be an excuse to also repeat Bill's other mistakes ;-)

  2. Easy solution on Improving Unix Mail Storage? · · Score: 2
    And for some reason, it's always CEOs of important clients who use text-based MUAs while sitting behind an MS Exchange server. They call us up asking which URL to click on.

    Easy solution: Build a list of "VIP" users who will get a text-only version. Or who will get the text and the HTML version in 2 separate mails.

  3. No Notes on Linux on Improving Unix Mail Storage? · · Score: 2
    Plus, Domino runs on Linux, Aix, Solaris, NT, 2000, OS/2, AS/400... The list goes on and on. As far as a shared database, just setup shared mail.

    But unfortunately, the Notes client does not. We still need to dick around with wine to access the corprorate Notes server. If anybody from IBM (who likes to show their committment to Linux...) is listening: are there any plans for a native Linux Notes client? If so: when? If not: why not?

  4. Re:30's lingo is bang up. on 1936 Perspective on Television · · Score: 2

    They did not "crack up nervously" to this hack out of amazement, but rather because it made the quality even more shitty than it was to begin with...

  5. Re:A word to the editors on Can FAQs Be Copyrighted? · · Score: 2
    Maybe someone should publish an "intellectual property lawsuit FAQ" somewhere to prevent such frivolous legal action in the future ;)

    Not so sure about that one... What if the lawyer that wrote a similar named FAQ (for the benefit of his fellow landsharks) takes offense, and sues you? You'd trigger frivolous legal action, rather than prevent some ;-)

  6. Re:Telezapper on Disconnecting Telemarketers · · Score: 1
    There are several brand names these gizmos are sold under, the most common one is called a "Telezapper". The way they work is that every time you pick up the phone the device sends out that three-note high-pitched tone you sometimes hear when you misdial and reach an invalid number, or you get an "all circuits are busy" recording.

    If the device really worked that way, wouldn't it be rather pointless? Sure, you wouldn't have to talk to the telescum, but you would still need to interrupt whatever your were doing, and pick up the phone...

  7. Re:They were called 'skyWALKs' for a reason on Ten Technology Disasters · · Score: 2
    but not for a huge crowd to fill them, swaying in unison in rhythm to the music

    Read the article. It specifically says that dancing induced resonance was ruled out pretty early as an explanation for the disaster:

    speculation first fixed on the patrons who'd been dancing on them: perhaps their high-stepping had set off a harmonic wave that made the sky bridges buckle and crumble.

    The truth proved more prosaic. The hotel's engineers had originally designed two of the three walkways to hang on common, vertical metal rods. But the metal fabricator took a fatal shortcut, substituting shorter rods hanging from one level to the next.

  8. Re:Navy's Dead ship on Ten Technology Disasters · · Score: 2
    Also, the publisher of the original GCN article backed away from the article a little characterizing some of the content as "early speculation" or something like that.

    Well, at least that way the ship was paid for ;-)

  9. Re:What I did/do on Disconnecting · · Score: 2
    Ok, I know, lots of posters have drawn the conclusion that, because "his business requires that he open and close many ISP accounts", litewoheat must be a spammer.

    But something doesn't quite sound right. Why would a spammer need to close his accounts? Normally the ISP will be quite glad to do that on its own, without the spammer specifically asking for it, no? Actually, wouldn't that be a way of getting rid of your AOL account: just spam the world, and watch as your account shuts itself down all on its own...

  10. Another one for slashdot's trophy gallery: on Slashback: Counterstrike, Identification, Patenxtortion · · Score: 2
    If you now click on one of those links, you get:

    Error! An error has occured.

    Web Servinator v0.3 (v.terbo)

    Hehe ;-) Too bad only that the source code for Web Servinator cannot be found anywhere or else we could have some more fun...

  11. What happened to panip's website? on Slashback: Counterstrike, Identification, Patenxtortion · · Score: 2

    Yesterday already, only the main page was visible. Today, even the cover page is gone! Too bad that their stats subdirectory is password protected, it'd be interesting to have a peek ;-)

  12. Re:Not to worry on Digital Mouths, Synthetic Faces at MIT and Lucasfilm · · Score: 2

    I was actually refering to Bin Laden, not Arafat. Thought that the fuss about the translation of these tapes was common knowledge...

  13. This is amazing... on Ultra Efficient Chip Cooling Passes Boeing Tests · · Score: 2

    An article about Chip Cooling, and not a single mention over overclocking yet! Could it be that really nobody got yet the idea of glueing such a "cool chip" back-to-back to a normal CPU, and let it rip?

  14. Re:There's an even easier way on Fun with Fingerprint Readers · · Score: 2

    Or even easyer: if the print is exactly the same as for the person before, flag the transaction as fraudulent.

  15. Re:Not to worry on Digital Mouths, Synthetic Faces at MIT and Lucasfilm · · Score: 2

    Na, it's far easyer to use real footage, and then just mistranslate the damn thing. Almost nobody speaks Arab, so who's gonna catch it?
