Being currently responsible for migrating a large enterprise to Linux, I was plesently surprised by Evolution. It kicks butt off all my boss's arguments:) I am currently running it in a test environment, and yes, I was too lazy to rebuild the rpm and I actually installed all those 150 megs of complementary libraries and software:) I know it could be easily skipped, but I sooo lazy and I have almost complete Ximian desktop now:)
Anyway, keep the good work you guys@Ximian!
I am wating for 1.0 release to get rid of Yet Another Microsoft Application (YAMA):)
Practical and simple, though not effective ideas

LWN in Trouble
·
· Score: 1
Well, here are my ideas which I guess are simple to implement, though I doubt they will save LWN for a long time.
1. (Not exactly mine, but) I will defenetely buy a t-shirt AND a coffee mug with "LWN" or "I read LWN" sign. Hell, I might even start wearing a cap with LWN stamped on it.
2. Hosting costs might be decreased a lot by destributed mirroring. I have to different locations and will to mirror LWN. None of those is exactly T1 connection, but I am not alone:)
It will be sad to see LWN go, and I really hope there are solutions to the problem. We are a community at the end of the day:)
In pre-computer age, just at the start of space exploration Americans found out that normal pens do not work in space and guys up there have nothing to write with. Huge R&D (few MegaBuck) took place and finally a gravity-independent pen have been developed. Production of one piece cost 500 USD. They worked very nice. The idea came in to sell few such pens to Russia... But the answer from the other side of the ocean was: "What for? We use pencils.":)
I was under the impression that mail could be delayed at some point in the relay chain without the sender being aware of it or being notified of it until much later. If I'm wrong, I appreciate you taking the time to make it clear.
Well, mail can get stack and I don't want to argue on that one:)
Maybe, what I was trying to say is that normally it takes up to under few minutes for e-mail message to get to the destination point. If sender requests a confirmation with his message, and he/she does not receive it withing reasonable time then he/she knows that the message got stack somewhere, in which case something terrible should be done:) like resending the message or contacting the recepient, etc:)
I am missing something here... either I don't understand you correctly or...
You say that: "Email delivery problems occur before the email reaches the client. My point was that depending upon the email reaching the client for confirmation is not sufficient. The email may never reach the client because of problems upstream."
With Return-Receipt-To server automatically sends confirmation to the sender, when message reaches destination mailbox.
And then you say exactly the same but about a new protocol: "However, what is needed is a protocol by which a server automatically sends back an acknowledgement that a message was received."
I believe that all those problems are appliable to fax, and/or telex, and/or any other means of communication.
Some email clients to support it, like mine (elm).
AFAIK, Return-Receipt-To is a standard, so lack of support for it is a problem of non-standard compliant e-mail client.
The user may not look at his email for days, as I often don't.
Same applies to faxes. I may be out of town or just not bothered:)
The user may ignore it, as I often do when I use Outlook.
That's pretty much the same as above.
Return-Receipt-To guarantees that message reached destination mailbox - same as fax confirmation guarantees that fax message has been received by the other part and that remote fax machine is not out of paper or something.
I'm muslim, and I hate these terrorists for making all muslims out to be cowards.
Not all muslims are cowards, even if considered those terrorists to be cowards. You are talking about mass media stereotype, not the actual fact.
A) They did not officially declare war. Attacking a country at peace is the act of a coward.
Agreed
B) They attacked civilians who were just going to work in the morning. These people aren't the ones responsible for America's foreign policy, they aren't the ones championing capitalism all over the world. They were simply people going to work in the morning. Killing in war is something horrible, but maybe unavoidable. Killing in peace is just murder.
I agree that victims were innocent people. But still planning and performing such an action implies putting oneself into a danger, especially considering the powers of CIA and FBI. Making a decision of killing several thousands people is IMHO courages, even if it is a plain murder, and victims are innocent civilians.
D) It takes no courage to take out ones anger on innocents. It takes real courage to stand up for one's self within the framework of society.
Well, I might agree that 7-grader kicking 3-graders butt is not corageous. But killing several thousand people is, once again, a different story. Another thing, is that society framework differs for people of Asia from those ones of US. The attack might be a way of standing up in framework for ones, while being a "coward act" for the others.
Different mentalities should be understood. Therefor, US following the path of terrorists is NOT acceptable. US government cannot start bombing Pakistan or whatever other country just because terrorists' mastermind in hiding there. The same as US cannot hold Dmitriy Sklyarov in prison for what he did in Russia, being russian citizen, no matter wheather it was legal or not.
First of all, I am sorry for all those who have become a victim in any way to these attacks. Said that...
1. Defenetely, these attacks were counterstrikes to US politics in Middle East and Europe.
2. I strongly disagree with Bush claiming these attacks being "cowardly acts". I think, that organizing and implementing such plan takes extreme courage, even if performed by a mad man, which I don't think is a case. One should have a clear head to plan all this.
3. Targets are defenetly symbolic - world's economy center, "world's" military center. Both destroyed within one day, showing that US is not actually such a strong giant as many may think.
4. Responding fast is doubtly even half a deal. It's like saying "I respawn very fast in Q3". I get killed in the first place anyway.
5. It is shocking to which extent of globaliztion US can go... as usual... everything shut down nationwide...
6. Counterstrike from US will cause only more attacks. US is still too powerfull to fight in open space, especially by small countries.
...once again, I am sorry for all those who became a victim...

No, it is not. Sitting on a sysadmin position, it is also:
If that was just an operating system - there would be no pain. Like MacOS :)
"I hope you die" (C) Bloodhound Gang.
Microsoft has caused more pain then all of my relatives all together.

Well, usually, when you have electronics - you get keyboards aswell :)

And it was just a joke
an old joke :)

One can request a Return-Receipt-To: email . This will basically garantee that message has been received (not read or understood) by the other part.
Don't drink and read /. :)
s/un//; would make it shorter... and less readable for someone :)
Is it again about vi vs. emacs? Cause it sounds alot like it :)

There is a clear different feel on PIII 800 vs PIII 550. Not only for HF:CS :)
Good thing is my Opera can sign like any of the above :)
Strangly, but it works for me. I am using now 2.4.8 (latest at the moment of writing).
:)
And I did it both ways: building it from SRPMs and building it from clean source. None of my apps broke...
And I cannot say that I was taught how to do so during my RHCE exam pass
The movie
The Story with pictures
The FBI investigation (337 pages in 4 PDF files)
Then of course you should also thank those guys who implemented DHCP.
While I agree with you, I also want to remind that Dmitry did not have any choice as far as I know, which pretty much does not make him a hero.
:)
Did he have any chance not to be arrested? Guess no. Could he choose the date of the hearing? Nope. Etc, etc,etc.
The only thing is for sure - DMCA sux
Use RedHat rpms... If you want to do it your way, then you have to remove installed kernel rpms from the system... or you'll get screwed :)
You can always use srpms, to make your own packages, which are easier then to distribute if you have more then 1-2 machines...
