From users I never heard of (hotmail,yahoo,btinternet)..
"Important document enclosed".
Or: "Thanks for your payment - your invoice".
The zip shows a text file inside.. pretty innocent. Any stupid dopy PA or temp would open it.
Of course under Linux the extension comes out as:
invoice.txt
.exe
An exe fed with lots of new-lines.
I usually reply asking where they know me from.
And I get Mail-Delivery-Failure (unknown user).
I mean its weird because it's my private-company address and noone dares spam pr0n (are they selective?)
Anyway, I don't know why but its happening more and more often - I really think someone purposely wants to infect me:(
But then give I am as vile to companies as I am online (and when posting here) I shouldn't be too surprised:)
That would be cool.
But then they can't include VBA.. fine.
Use Gambas or StarOffice Basic instead (if that is allowed)
I am a Corel Enthusiast - shame it crashed no end.. it was a love/hate affair.
I agree with you.
I vowed to give up IT and computers altogether.. forever. Was planning to become an actor instead lol - Seriously though! I mean I had the contacts and started off doing a few tv adds and photo shoots thanks to my psycho look;)
... But then one day I discovered Linux -... and got addicted again...
It's more than a machine OK?
Alright?
I mean you wouldn't understand now would you? Cos you have no soul - Go on be cynical say what you must...
But it does has feelings just like me and you (and she loves me and I love her)...
And I talk to her - I caress her, I hug my wonderful companion with all the care in the world .. Only she - undestand me - more than any woman would ever do:(
Now you BASTARD you've hurt me AND you've hurt Thelda!!... I hate you truly!... DIE !!!!!!!!!
If people want Lindows and Xandros - where they can't fine-tune their apps, or have a greater degree of power and freedom - fine.
If people want to spend a few nights compiling from scratch Gnome 2.6 only to find out they did something wrong (in which case its time to restart the process) - also fine.
Linux is about choice - that is cool thing about it.
Linux Distros will cater for all types.
So possibly in order of ease-of-use I think it goes like this (Please correct/amend!):
I really dont know if this already exists, I've visited a few of the spamgourmet sites listed here but it appeared a lil more complicated than what I wanted.
OK - I've been thinking - and I am sure many of - of have thought on similiar lines.. a public email service like this:
You add who may send you an email.
Anyone else is Blocked.
But if you send an email to anyone - that person is added automatically to your "allow list".
Wait there is more:
* Knocks *
When anyone emails you - you will get a "knock" but just ONCE (and never again?).
You may then email that person asking him to resend the email which was automatically deleted(or stored?)...
Anyway by emailing that person you immediately allow him to your list.
I dont know I have this bad feeling there is some bad flaw here somewhere.. I need more coffee - I will think more later.
It's because it is a standard coming from the UNIX days.
If you change that.. you don't have LINUX anymore.
Also no Linux program would ever install - there wouldn't be universal compatibility.
I just don't get it.
Why is this distro so incredibly over-priced?
Given that most brazilians earn peanuts?
It's really unfair (if not utterly sick).
Of course you always can get Conectiva for what? $9 from many ISO-burning website, but if you pay via their website (and most brazilians newbies wouldn't know better) - they will charge you around $40 for the Standard Edition, and around what $120 for the Professional.
When I bought Red Hat 9.0 it was like $20 (amazon.co.uk), Suse Pro 9.0 ok that was dear around $80?? Libranet $60. Gentoo $12-20(?) ... But hey I live in Europe - these people live in Brazil earning like a 1/5 of what Europeans/Americans earn. Seriously revolting.
Ok Conectiva has done some good stuff like apt4rpm and that crystal theme (and I don't know what else).
But I hate when I see that happening: brazilians sucking up to the outside world but neglecting their own kind.
Fuck Conectiva, I'm gonna purchase or donate to Kurumin cos at least these guys seem more conscientious
Oh.. and by the way - Conectiva- see that you hire back Everaldo, your website needs revamping - it looks shit.
yeah but not where the pounds are at:(
It was money I remember
I worked part-time (seriously must have been the happiest moments in my life)...
They were paying me contract rates, I did about 20 hours a week - just right for you to prepare good lessons and teach well without getting drained. Teaching is a very energetic/highly exhausting exercise. Think about it... you have to think as a teacher AND as a student at the same time
Here in England, if you go full-time (which just kills the joy of any teacher anyway).. you get peanuts (like what $12000 a year?) - the College I taught was in debt and to cut costs they decided to have only full-timers.
I declined: long hours, poor pay.
and I went into computing/programming.
I still give private tuition from time to time and once was start making a maths-website, did the prototype and random exercises - with a mascot I drew kinda cute
I loved teaching, I taught like big classes of 40 wild kids 15+ but they respected me. Mind you I looked like a kid too (that was funny).
But the challenge was to make Maths fun and different. That technique I owe to TEFL (teaching English as a Foreign Language).. which tells you that each lesson should be highly stimulating as well as structured: Materials, setting the theme, nice continuation of previous class (and quick revision), engaging games - are all part of technique.
Imagine now with HTML/FLASH and App Programming how much I could do to aid my teaching. I got other dreams too, and I've lived the "teaching" one - time to move on (but really wonderful memories, I have to admit)

What is the advantage of having a building measuring but a few nanometers in height?
...
I just dont get it
You *probably* can get Linux distros in the street markets in Brazil - just like you get any other (pirate) software.

>You won't go back.
Sorry I just did.
Mandrake's apt4rpm for lack of repositories is simply useless.
Gone back to urpmi.
I agree.

So I will chicken out
