Sure it's a solution. Any address without a valid DNS entry will return 64.94.110.11, which will return as unreachable - seems like exactly the behaviour I want.
Detail exactly how this "work-around" does not solve the problem of not wishing to direct any traffic to this net-fraud of a site.
Yeah, you're right. I normally do a DROP on inbound traffic so those 1337 h4x0r5 don't get an icmp port-unreachable. REJECT would be better for outbound users.
It's called 'mail merge' and 'legal accounting' software. IOW, nothing you don't get with OpenOffice, in the first place[0], and, er, legal accounting (which, IMSC, is just DEBK).
[0] except maybe the forms themselves, but they're not terribly difficult to produce.
I know, cos I used to write the latter, and support the former under Word Perfect (4.2 if you're interested.. which ran on Unix - and not just Unix, but SCO! Oh the irony).
Take the marshmallows and the microwave to your physics prof. Say "I will give you this fine microwave and these delicious marshmallows if you will tell me the speed of light".
Believe me, I've tried them all - the ones you list plus about a thousand others (warning: statement may contain hyperbole). For one reason or another all were unacceptable in some way. Yes, I do want perfection;)
If I could actually get gnome to realise that when I tell it I want to use window manager 'foo', that I actually *do* want to use it, that would be half the battle.
As far as gconf-editor goes, I've tried it, as well as editing the xml files by hand (before starting gnome). Neither worked successfully, causing gnome-panel to crash on startup in the worst cases.
Little things like gnome forgetting that I have a transparent panel with a colour set. It remembers the transparency but not the colour. I can live with it, but it's annoying.
I've tried running sawfish as the wm and for some reason gnome doesn't seem to like it. Can't explain more than that since it's been a while since I tried it (on gnome 2 w/ latest (at the time) sawfish), but basically gnome would forget that sawfish was supposed to be running.
I'll try the disable factory trick, that looks quite useful, thanks.
Also I'd like to be able to change the stupid little foot icon on the 'start' menu. That was easy enough in gnome 1.4, but seems to have been disabled (without hacking the installed gnome base) in 2.x
current gnome 2.x issues (any devels listening?).

No way to edge-flip to another desktop.
Thus no d'n'd windows across desktops. Pager sucks for this at 16x12.
Gnome-panel regularly poops out at shutdown.
Metacity? Feh. Bring back sawfish (and I mean updated!). The introduction of predictability has led to a sharp decrease in customisability.
I have on average 20 terminals open. If one dies (e.g. because it's a shell window on a machine not available from my current location at start-up), down go the others. This is wholly unacceptable. Because of this, I almost switched to KDE - but it only supports 16 desktops which is Fucking Lame. Excuse me.
Other than those few issues, Gnome (2.x) is very stable, reliable, and well-featured. Keep up the good work (and please attend to that terminal problem).
Do you really believe that the act of observing people who are outside their homes, and perhaps on public property, or at least in a public place, is spying?
What does it matter what some schmoe on Slashdot believes? Reality is defined somewhat differently.
I think of spying as a more of looking in the windows of your house kind of thing, and yes, that should be covered by probable cause and warrants.
Oh well, then, that's ok, because Knife_Edge (582068) thinks that spying is defined as X.
Well, I hate to disappoint ya, edgey-ma-pal, but who gives a rat's colon what spying is defined as?
the point is WHO is doing the "spying", and WHAT are they doing with the information so gleaned, and HOW do they turn it to their advantage?
the police would have to get warrants to search the records
Haven't experienced much what of what most people call reality, have you?

Especially when you consider there are probably 100x that many embedded devices, it is a narrowing of scope.
third-rate pedestrian rubbish that isn't worth paying for.
then it isn't worth listening to.
And the list of examples of how the DMCA etc are NOT being used to quieten dissenting voices is where?

I have gnome set to always save settings..

There is so much wrong with this post I don't even know where to start. Please, tell me you were just trolling.
You missed the smilie. But that's ok, keep grinding that axe.

Karel Capek (sorry, can't do weird diacritical marks here) invented the term robot, from the Czech word for 'worker'.
i.e. those who it's damn well likely have committed a crime.
You misspelled 'those who it's damn well likely the police can make a profit from the arrest of.'
HTH
Come talk to us again when you stop being 15, and stop seeing the world in such stark contrast.

What on earth did Glazier mean by that? If a law is current, how can it need bringing back?
Isn't it about time the RIAA (MPAA, et al) just quietly went away? Can't they see they're not needed any more?
you mean like this?
