I have the same feeling. She's dead. She was a spammer. Good. Good spammers are dead spammers, and how good it is to be able to ventilate my frustrations here.
Plus the fact that xs4all dared to take on the creeps of scientology, and won. That, and their technical expertise is why I have been a subscriber from 1994.
I thought Z/OS was the meta OS on which all the VM's where runnning, eacht VM containing a Linux installation. How do they do the controlling of the different VM's? Does Linux for Z series have their own meta/VM controls?
I would gladly pay $ 10 for a CD here in the Netherlands. Unfortunately, the recording industry mob has used the introduction of the euro to raise the CD prices one more. Many 'normal' popular CD's often cost more than $ 20. Of course, downloading and pirating music is a crime. But so is pricefixing.
Although the idea of Microsoft infiltrating into every appliance and the kitchen sink, there might be a small advantage: isn't it very easy to convert your dix;-) movies to wmf? In that way, we could see DVD players that can play our converted DIVX movies...
I like sylpheed, it has a lot of features I really miss in evolution, like the use of an external editor (I like vi, ht internal editors of most email programmes suck) and descent keybindings. If you want to use the cutting edge vrsion of sylpheed, there's the sylpheed-claws fork. What I do miss in sylpheed is the ability to view html mail. I hate when people send me mail with html, but I want to be able to at least read it.
I remember when I was working in a computershop, my colleague installed Bob on the PC of my boss. You can imagine my boss's reaction.. it was actually quite a good joke.
If I look at the numbers, I see that the difference between the systems in benchmarks are rather small. In fact, it reminds me a bit of a presidential election in a not to distant past...
With such small differences, the only thing that matters is which systems gives you warm fuzzy feelings... (Oh! Apt-get! Oh! make world!) (but wait, what if both systems give me warm fuzzy feelings?)
I use Debian linux on my workstation, FreeBSD on my server, openbsd on my firewall and netbsd on my old sparcstation. If you have the hardware lying around, you really can use the right tools for the right job.. (and oh, I run Mac OS 9 on my Mac and I have a BeOS partition somewhere...). But then, I love operating systems, and I love toying around with them, including the obscure, like hurd, minix, plan9 and this thing called solaris..
Is there some up or downwards compatibility between 802.11a and 802.11b or are these completely different incompatible devices? Or are there dual protocol devices on the market?
I have installed ext3 on my debian unstable box, using 2.4.13-ac7, and I disabled the fscking of the file system (tune2fs -i 0 -c 0). I wonder.. does it replay journals automatically when I reboot after a crash? Or do I have to do this by hand? Up to now, no problems, but I do get the feeling that reiserfs is slightly faster. I use reiser on my laptop, since the battery lfe of my sony vaio is only 50 minutes, so I can shut it down in a brutal way if nessecary..
SLackware was my 2nd distribution (after SLS). It was the distribution which always installed, contrary to (at that time) redhat or debian. But later, I switched to redhat, than to mandrake, and than to debian. I like the package system, and I like the fact that I can upgrade my distribution easily, which was not the case with slackware. Besides, you do not have to use packages, you might as well use source tarballs to update your software. On the other hand, I think slackware is a good distribution for learning Linux, it has not got the temptations of graphical configuration tools like redhat has, from which you learn nothing. Apart from that, I see no reason anymore to use Slackware (for myself that is). I stick to Debian.

Is this the Peter Jackson who made low budget horror movies like Bad taste and Braindead? He's a genius! Bad taste and Braindead are two of the funniest splatter movies ever made.
After reading this interview I kind of like this guy. Too bad he likes Bob Saget.. I mean, Bob is one of the most terrible abominations on Tv and probably the stuff Microsoft Bob was made of..
Here in the Netherlands I was teaching something similar. Here we had a programme for unemployed people (but not nessecarely gang members..) to become webdesigner or webengineer. IT qas quite an extensive programme, including subjects like html, javascript, dhtml, flash, photoshop, coldfusion, asp, webservers/operatins system basics, and I have seen many of my students who had few computer experience become rather good webdesigners, making websites that looked good and were viewable with any browser.
I run FreeBSD on my server, openBSD on my firewall and Debian Linux on my workstation. I do like the apt-get system better for upgrading, because, with cvsupgrading of the source tree, you have to have the diskspace for all that source, while when using apt-get, binaries get replaced, and the system is cleaned up with apt-get clean. This is not such an issue if you have lots of diskspace, but on my openbsd machine, I have only a small harddisk. The last time I tried cvsupdate my harddisk was full, so I couldnt upgrade. Portscollection is great, and I was surprised to see it actually being ported to linux.. and to Mac OS X.
Indeed, if this would help against those dreadful websites with shitty html that that frontpage abonimation has spawned... frontpage should be forbidden. The HTML that it creates is a good lesson on how not to make HTML.
I just got a M-audio Audiophile 2496, and I love the thing. Primary reason I bought this card is that it works with windows (up to xp!) Mac (9 and X!) and Linux (with alsa drivers). I now use a PC with Linux for most of my tasks and windows 98se with logic for audio, but I'm really sick and tired of windows (and logic doesn't work on windows 2000/xp). I'd love to have logic on linux, but that's not evry likely. So I am saving for a Mac G4 . Mac's are more expensive than PC's but when you're doing pro audio the price of the machine itself is not so much an issue, the price of your protools, you're mackie 8bus digital mixer and your adat gear are more significant..
Well, in my experiences (both home an professional) I had lots of Maxtors breaking, lots of Western digital breaking, some quantum breaking, some hp breaking, some seagate breaking and no fujitsu breaking (but I have only used one..). But... I must say, I have had almost no problems with scsi harddisks, except a HP harddisk that overheated, so I guess you might give scsi harddisks a try if you can afford it.. I have been banning ide from my Pc for years..
I agree, every brand has once in a while a bad apple. The rest of the IBM harddisks are very good I think, while I had so many Maxtor harddisks failing on me. Maxtor is a brand that I'll try to avoid just like Western digital. I prefer IBM or Quantum, and maybe seagate, the latter has gotten much better over the years.

Great, I would really love to see a solution which gives me non-ugly italic fonts (especially in my webbrowser) with Linux.

Anybody remember the game "Stroker" on the commodore 64? Anybody remember the work of Jeff Koons? Voila!
