I used to work for a portion of @home (now AT&T, formerly TCI) If I remember correctly, they have a very odd 3 tiered mail scheme, there are only a few mail servers available from the outside, after that the mail gets filtered down through 2 internal mail hosts before finally arriving at the mail host that the user actually checked, this caused us huge problems with messages sometimes taking days to be delievered. I wonder, are the mail servers you're trying to access actually the ones available to the outside. I've seen the monumental screw ups @home can make. All the information I received as a lowly tech was filtered and stupified by management, so I don't know to much about behind the scenes. I believe they are located in Redwood City, you might try the phone book.

Wouldn't this pretty much make TiVO unusable?
My question is, what to do about somethign like this. There are a couple of options, Boycott, letter writing to the companies, and writing your congressman.
I'm working on a website to assist with all of those, however I'm not yet very good at figuring who to write and exactly what to say. If you know who to write or what to say, check out http://openadvocacy.net and email me suggestions.
Does this strike anyone else as a little bit worrisome? Yeah, it is GPL, but it connects to thier website, the package installation requires RedHat. I'm sure someone can/will hack it to support other version of linux, but don't you think they could make it a little more open?
I'm currently working on a php based "homeware" application and have been trying to decide how I want to do the calendar, I can write my own, use a calendar server or borrow one from another package. I'm currently leading toward writing my own because the current programs don't offer the extensibility that I need. The application is going to include financial software and a few others that require use of a calendar, rather than write a separate scheduling program for each, I'd like a calendar that is extensible, so that I can write my own applications for what to do when an event occurs. even if it's something as simple as running a command line. Other than that, here are my basic calendar requirements.
being able to set who can view my calendar, I think three levels would suffice, public, private, secretary.
automated scheduling
event timers that include pager or cell phone( could be part of the extensibility)
I know there is more, but that is all I can think of
NOt entirely true, the electoral college only affect presidental elections, which means candidates when a state, or not. if you want to be a senator, you have to when a state, if you want to be a Rep, you have to win a district.
Without the electoral college, you'd win 15% of the vote, but that doesn't mean you'll have 15% of the congress.
The real problem is campaign financing, it cost around 10million to run for office in New York. Can you imagine how much it costs to run for president? It's a catch22, people don't know who you are or your views without campaigning, but they aren't going to fund you if you don't know who you are. We need to level the playing field as far as campaign funds go.
That is kind of the whole idea of how insurance works, it's like a raffle, we all pool our money together to help the sick ones, just in case the sick one turns out to be us. With genetic testing, we're able to eliminate some of the higher risk people. Good if your not one of them, very bad if you are, do you want to take that chance?

I skipped (or rather dropped out of) college. It took my about 3 years to build up my skills and experience for a fairly high paying job. During that time I was making money rather than spending to to have people teach me skills not necessary for my job.
I do sometimes run in to barriers of "bachelors required" but not often. I now plan on going back and getting my degree, but I wouldn't change what I did in the past.
He doesn't actually say Linux is obsolete, just that the hottest topic in computers, Linux, is based on 1976 techonology, and that ALL OS's are obsolete. 7. "The network is the computer" - yes; but we're less interested in computers all the time. The real topic in astronomy is the cosmos, not telescopes. The real topic in computing is the Cybersphere and the cyberstructures in it, not the computers we use as telescopes and tuners.

20. If a million people use a Web site simultaneously, doesn't that mean that we must have a heavy-duty remote server to keep them all happy?...
This already happens in a way, or at least spreading it out to different websites, using web portals and ultramode, I don't actually go to freshmeat to see what is there, I get it from slashdot, and I pull down all the comics that I want
29. The rigid file and directory system you are stuck with on your Mac or PC was designed by programmers for programmers - and is still a good system for programmers. It is no good for non-programmers. It never was, and was never intended to be.
still the biggest problem with Linux, by programmers, for programmers, problems with user interfaces and poor documentation are pevalent

There have also been many studies showing that the supiority of DVORAK is a myth.
