I use an IMAP based webmail client (Squirrelmail or SM for short) for all of my email (~50-100 messages per day)
I believe it makes (good) use of every feature you name. SM "looses it's mind" every time the browser refreshes or you click a link. Yet it is still able to notify me of recent unread messages without telling me HEY! THERE ARE UNREAD MESSAGES every time it refreshes, and without having to have a DB back-end to keep track of which unread messages it has notified me of.
I'd prefer to have something that replicated changes made to one disk to another disk located in a separate PC that may well be in a location 100 metres away. Is there anything open sourced that can do this?
This is not pure politics, there is solid science behind the following statement: If you increase the amount of so-called greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the global temperature will rise.

As a scientist, how do you make this leap from correlation to causation?
Said another way, how have you controlled the extraneous variables? How do you know that the (well established) natural temperature cycle does not explain any documented temperature fluctuation?
There can be no question that there will be another ice age, can you be so sure that significant land mass will be lost to rising sea levels?
I DID get it by telnet. While they could send this out as HTML, they CAN'T send it out by HTTP, since we don't even know "they" are out there (and of course HTTP is an "on demand" protocol.
I was assuming that they would be sending it out plain text, where, of course, extra ^Ms will cause problems for any UNIX using being.
Actually, my original post it wrong. I was pretty groggy when I wrote it. Stair stepping happens when crlf is expected, but only lf is recieved. (makes sense, no "return" to the start of the line.)

You are absolutely correct about the admins role in security.
My point is that of 17 packages that they worked on, one of them is rsh. Rsh is simply not even an option on a secure system.
Said another way, there is nothing that could be in that patch file that would make rsh secure, so I am skeptical about the whole thing.
For the record, I use scp for all of my file transferring needs. I use http for file distribution, and will start using ftp once I get a chroot-ed, non-root, upload only (that is upload from the servers point of view), ftpd set up.
Finally, I made that original post as a sort of off the cuff remark, I didn't mean it as +5 informative, and frankly, I think it is overrated;-)
I am guessing, but I bet that there is a "ground bus" at each 40pin connector (or maybe just the blue one) that the 40 extra wires are connected to, which is in turn connected to one or more of the grounds un the tradtional 40 pins.
When U2W SCSI first came out there were a lot of problems with cables that were a little too noisy. The answer? Twisted pair. Each signal cable twisted with it's ground neighbor.
It seems like the same thing would benifit ata66/110.
It seems like you used to be able to get 40 pin header connectors with no wires attached . . .
As the creator of the intellectual property it is your privilege to apply whatever conditions on its use that you see fit. This applies equally to free and commercial software
The first statemnet is generally true. The second is false.
As soon as you place use restrictions on software it ceases to be free. (This includes "free for non-commerical use," it is not free.)
Free software does not place restrictions on use. That is what makes it free.
In fact, it seems that stephend is defining free software as written by hackers, and commercial written by companies.
Here is a clue for you. It is ALL written by hackers.
The way in which RMS is "less evil" than MS is by CHOOSING not to create non-free software.
There is, of course, one freedom that he takes away, and that is the users (actually distribuors) freedom to deprive the people he distributes to of the same freedoms.
If you were convicted outside Canada and five years have elapsed since the termination of the sentence imposed (not the sentence served), you may apply through a visa office for the Minister's approval of your rehabilitation. The Minister's approval will permanently remove the inadmissibility caused by your conviction.
Over 20 years with no further incident. Seems like he would qualify.

I sure hope this was NOT the last census.
I enjoy living in a Republic. How can I be represented if I am not counted?

is available seperately. I belive that the idea is to re-use the hooks, but the possiblities are endless.
Attach your velcro to the adhesive strips, then pull the tab for a clean get away.
It should be in the same cardboard display-thingie as the hooks themselves.
Good luck.

At this time you still have to do some tuning if you are really going to sock the crap out of a Linux webserver.
With 2.2 you have to do some (minor) kernel hacking and some OS tweaking to increase the number of processes and open files.
It is also important to note that each process consumes a file(handle?) so that can become a limitation.
Start by doing ulimit -a, and if you can only have 256 processes (or your webserver can only have 256) you aren't tuned.
From there, search google for "nproc linux kernel apache" or something for more info.

From the script:
"BEN: That's no moon! It's a space station."
Emphasis mine.
Still funny though.
They must have used windows to make this.
I'm getting an extra ^M at the end of each line. This is sure to cause "stair stepping," as any superior alien race is sure to be using UNIX.
-Peter
Even a dipshit like me can see that you are making distinctions which are irrelevant to the point.
Pot, "Contact", it's funny (to me anyway.)
Anyway, it is just a sig. It's not a big deal.
-Peter
Read the included file Documentation/Changes.
It is there to address this exact question.
-Peter
Okay, so I should have told that guy that asked to fuck off, just so I wouldn't upset you?
How about if you fuck off instead?
-Peter
What's your sig mean?
If you are asking me, see my user page.
I know who they are, I am just questioning if they are involved in any way with the Cosmos DVD set.
If not, they hardly deserve kudos for not region encoding something that they have no authority to region encode in the first place.

Does the MPAA have anything to do with a PBS special filmed circa 1980?
I don't know for sure, but I suspect they do not.

I heard that Linus said he is going to give a 5% discount for each day that 2.4 misses the December release date by.

I mirrored it here anyway in case they take it back down.
(The mirror is done, and includes all of the files.)
According to the package list it includes rsh and WU-FTPd.
Come on, an ultra-secure system with rsh and WU-FTPd?
Okay, so it says WU-FTPd is untested, but there is no excuse for using rsh.
This makes me skeptical of the whole thing.
Wow, this guy has single-handedly re-invented the manufacturing calendar.

Yeah, U2W is AKA LVD, Low Voltage Differential.
I'm no ee, but it seems like this would be of benifit if each signal was twisted with it's neighbor ground. Am I wrong?
