    It's a prison. They're ALL convicts. If that's the kind of crap your father told you he likely wasn't being quite truthful with you about his occupation.

    As an ex-prison guard I have to call BS on this. The guards are legally not allowed to know what you're in there for. Cop-killers get no different treatment than say a sex offender. The opposite side of that is, since you can't tell the difference between a pedophile and a cop killer, beat the shit out of both of em.

  4. Re:Stupid on Department of Defense Now Blocking HTML Email · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Wow. Everytime I read a comment like the stupid trash you just posted it makes me want to scream DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE FUCK EMAIL IS? Why do Windows users feel it necessary to cram 50 different applications' functions into one super crappy, insecure piece of bloatware and then rave on about how superior it is? Me, personally, I'm using mutt in an enterprise environment because I'm just crazy enough to believe you should read email with, you know, a fucking email client.

    Careful Novell. I'm almost positive Microsoft has patents that cover these sorts of bullshit surveys.

    Uhhh let's see. By your own post you admit that you're registering for the blog to post one time. No plans to actually take on a conversation or even return to the site. Just drop your 2 cents (as if a one time poster would get much cred anyway) and leave. Yup that qualifies you as a blog spamming jackass.

    Well, I'm not you and I'm damned sick of having to keep a long-ass list of usernames and passwords for sites I really don't care much about. If I have to register to post a comment on some blog, I don't really care if someone steals that registration or password because I'm not likely to ever visit that blog again.

    And blog-spamming jackasses like you are the reason we all have to register for every little thing on the internet.

    Not sure why you're calling BS or why you got modded up for it. It's not like it hasn't been done before. Wes Craven's: New Nightmare was released on VHS with a set of modified 3D glasses, and yes it worked.

    Yes I'm breaking the rules to reply to my own comment. Why was I modded flamebait? I'm a friggin ubuntu user (Xubuntu actually). I think I would know as well as anyone that Ubuntu, by default, may work beautifully but it looks like absolute shit.

    Have any of you even seen Edgy installed? The artwork you keep linking to isn't what was turned down, it's the artwork for the damn release.

    Of course Shuttleworth would hate the Blubuntu theme. My god, I mean, if that got out Ubuntu might actually look...good.

    Good point. Myself, I have plenty of domains and servers to handle my email, so I use Gmail to catch all the crap messages I may or may not want. Some people don't have this luxury and just need an email account with pop access.

    While I agree that an article on configuring fetchmail and mutt is not exactly ground breaking, the point is to get your mail out of that horrid gmail interface and into a real mail client.

    You've got no one to blame but yourself. As has been said in previous posts, if you go putting #!/bin/sh at the top of your scripts and expect bash syntax to work, you should not be writing scripts in any environment. The Ubuntu (uppercase intended) devs were absolutely right in telling you to shut up and RTFM.

    Xen requires 256M of RAM for EACH virtual machine. I don't know what your idea of "low overhead" is, but it seems to be quite different from mine or most sane people on this planet.

    Well that blog post was a waste of five minutes of my life. Oh and from your blog "Fedora simply isn't relevant in the Linux world anymore. Ubuntu has almost single-handedly replaced all major desktop-oriented distros."

    I'm still shaking my head and trying to figure out what Charles, as well as you, are going on about in regards to flash file systems. Hate to break this to you but ffs works just fine on flash, as I'm posting this from a NEC Mobilepro running NetBSD 2.0.1 and installed entirely on a 1GB CF card.

    I have a lot of respect for this project and I'm glad to see it's working out seemingly well.

    "Neither Exim nor Sendmail provided an out-of-the-box solution which met our specific our needs under RHEL4. I never claimed that setting up systems shouldn't take work, I merely stated that RHEL did not support basic functionality which we desired, that was written into the packages themselves but not enabled at compile time."

    And that is just fine. What's not fine is to blame RedHat's support just because they decided not to include support for a specific function of the postfix package which severely complicates the ability to provide a high level of support for it.

    "My reference to you being a troll is that you assume that what I built is a "POS" that is on the verge of a breakdown. If you do not wish to be categorized as a troll, perhaps you should stop cursing travelers from underneath your bridge."

    And I categorize that setup as a POS because I see it every day. I have extensive experience troubleshooting the broken postfix/mysql setup even though neither RedHat or the company I work for offer support for it. Again, stop calling people trolls just because they have experience in the area you are referring to, and do not agree with you.
