Well maybe they did, but they're running web star under mac os. I've used web star in the past and here's my take- it's a fine server, but the fact is that macs _crash_. Ask anyone who works on a mac all day if they have freeze ups or have to force reboot often. This just won't do for a server. If a daemon dies on a *nix box you can at least telnet in and reboot it, but if you mac freezes and your away from the office its time to jump in the car and reboot the damn thing. I dunno- maybe the g3s and g4s are more stable than the older power pcs, but i'll take apache on a linux box any day over web star on a mac.
Yeah, they're set and it hasn't happened today. I'm at work and on a linux box and everything is going smooth (well except for the fact that images don't seem to want to come up;(). Sometimes the cookies work, sometimes they don't. Not bitching- just an observation. So, offtopic, eh? I thought that maybe what I was expriencing had to do with the topic, maybe not. H'mm, I wonder if it had to do with me breathing the evil words 'mac os'.
I'm on mac os using netscape 4.61 and keep getting this 'eek you've found a nasty bug - blasting your preferences reset them' message at the to of the right column... is this related to recent changes? i didn't see this during the day- is anyone else getting this?
So, I used to be an (active) heroin addict - been inactive 4 years. All I can say is this: I used to wake up and go immediately to the bathroom - do my biz - look in the mirror and ask mysel "what do i need to do today to do what i need to do today?" These days I wake up and lay around for at least a half hour. If I have more than 4 hours of mork to do on my box (which I do at leat 6/7 of the time) I put it in. More often than not I find myself staring at a tube at least 8 1/2 hours a day. But guess what?! If I don't feel like it or don't need to.. I don't. I wholeheartedly encourage these researchers to spend 3 weeks straight on an opiate or some kind of meth and then pull out before they start throwing numbers around and talking about addiction.
Sagan also wrote that pot enhanced his experience of food, particularly potatoes, music and sex.
I guess that explains the disappearing bags of potato chips amongst certain households. But really, I wish he had been advocate for NORML publicly instead of as Mr. X. You're at a club or a sporting event and somebody is obnoxious violent or rude. Have they been drinking alcohol or smoking pot? I imagine big tobacco would say the latter, but the true answer is obvious. Drugs that provoke specualation on the fact that we're getting screwed every day of our lives are illegal, and alcohol, used to numb it down, are legal. Now isn't that funny?
Maybe there are also monkeys, bug spray and hookers on the moon. If there is water than the monkeys and hookers will have something to drink. But there are no clouds which is good. There is nothing sadder than a wet hooker. The monkeys don't really mind though. The water may be necessary to dilute the bug spray.
At least NASA is recycling unused materials from previous missions that wouldn't have been used otherwise. Perhaps they should hurl that module they recovered from the ocean (the Grissom one) at Redmond and study the plume that wafts up.
Right, hopefully the admin has services protected and packet filtering at least so a password known by someone outside of the network won't have an opportunity to use it in the first place. Gah, security is a pain in the butt.
I like where the interviewer asks Malda what Microsoft has to look forward to in lieu of Linux and he says "Well, they're going to have to work harder." Right out of the elements of style. Anyway, pretty cool addidtion to the IBM developer site. Good to see them supporting linux.
I think the package management and install procedure (obviously they are related..) are too Windows-like as far as being spoon fed with your hands tied behind your back.
Dude. Look at the cvs checkins. It's great that some people that bust their asses extra hard are getting paid for their day gig, the product of which we may take for granted freely every day. As you pointed out, Miguel isn't employed by Red Hat, and Pennington is kicking ass for gnome with a book, weekly status updates and coding. I'm not a gnome developer, but, no, I don't feel odd about this at all- in fact it reinforces my support of gnome development.
I seem to remember hearing AbiWord being bandied about by some rhad/gnome people as being the future word processor distributed with gnome... am I on crack? or is this kinda true, and if so, are Red Hat behind them in any supportive manner?
Cool, thanks. I went and got stunnel and SSLeay and have been having trouble getting it to work, but this seems like what I want. My client can't connect to the server after I killall -HUP inetd and tell messenger to use ssl. There are keys on the server and client.. Any idea why that would happen?
It's good to see (at least a minority of) positive comments for mozilla. Why does it seem like such a large segment of the open source/free software community wants to see mozilla fail? I really don't understand it. I hear about how bloated it is, how it crashes all the time, blah, blah, blah.. and it's just not true! Try a build! Mozilla.org really helped put open source into mindshare of people who would never have known or cared (I am one of these). I am thankful for mozilla.org, and am thrilled about the builds of late. Starting from scratch after six months of moving in the direction the legacy code had taken them was the right thing to do, it's apparent today. But, sheesh! You sure couldn't tell that by all the negative press. Don't you people want to see the dominant browser end up being mozilla? If not, why? Don't bitch about how it's a failed project- why the hell do you want to see it fail? It's doing frickin' great in my book.
.. but mklinux is a pretty crappy distro imnsho. Linuxppc is pretty damn stable, while mklinux's latest (way dated) distro crashes if you look at it sideways. It's nice for nostalgia, I guess... I just think it pretty much illustrates Apples's true stance on open source or free software or whatever you want to call it.....
i remember in the very early eighties when the only online community i participated in was 'the source' and people were using this apple II program called locksmith to un-copyprotect apps and trade them - he wrote in to some journal about how he favored such practice, as it led to people learning about decryption and whatnot. these days (as back then) i purchase apps that are used for mission critical purpose that have have a license that dictate that this is the Only Legal Way, but increasingly i find this isn't the case. the mission critical apps are more and more open. beer and a shot for everyone!
I don't have any problem thinking of music as data, but it takes a lot of the art out of the concept. I think there's a fundamental difference between a creative work, be it a song or a drawing or a story, and an Excel spreadsheet.
Seems to me like this is what's happened as vinyl has disappeared and cd's became dominant - digital format, no? Still, I kind of admire his love of stacks of records - I love it when I go to someone's house and they have shelves of vinyl and are actually listening to it.

As to who's collection would survive a lightning strike, 2 things: a) tape backups , b) melting wax.
so, ftp installs are cool, yes? seems a trivial problem to make an issue about.. wtf is up with option clicks with single button mice under this distro? that's the only flakiness complaint i have. otherwise very solid.

Cool, it says that they are going to use the mozilla browser in addition to using linux. Does anyone from the mozilla project know more about this?
that'd be babelfish.altavista.com
First reply to the fourth post, yo!

Word.
Does anyone have an idea when the general public will be afforded the opportunity to invest in RedHat stock? How long does the IPO part take?

How would you improve the installation?

Is there a non-commercial imap server that supports ssl?

Just because they won't develop two completely different OS architectures in parallel? Please. Darwin seems luck a much better approach.
Why?
