Best bet is: 1) back up any data, 2) format and reinstall, 3) apply all patches, 4) reconfigure and reinstall any necessary 3rd party stuff. That is bound to be the safest and fastest method of fixing it. Alternatively, 1) back up any data, 2) backoff any recent changes. 3) This may work, but probably won't. 4) This is of course the fastest way of attempting to fix, refer to rule #3. --- Zscoundrel wrote: > My darling bride just updates her 'doze 98 box and > TOTALLY fubared it. > It locks up 3 times a day instead of the usual twice > a week and she is > not able to connect to a secure website she uses to > VPN into the work > LAN. > > Any ideas on what needs to be done to fix it.

No, he's just trying to put the rest of the US IT industry out of work, in order to kill off all software competition in the US. Resistance is futile. ;') __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

One is to wait for the DVD and rent/ "buy for your collection", and two is to make a party out of it with some friends. Go out and have a nice dinner with some friends and then see to movie together. That way at least you get a good meal and good company out of it. And you have immediate contacts to rant on the terrible movie, and vice versa. ;') Brian D. I unfortunatley will have to see it, just for the completeness thing. Not like TLoR trilogy, which was really very good and the extended versions are even better. It would have been nice to have done the Hobbit also. I'm still waiting for the rest of the Dune series to come out. Which brings up the topic, was there a novel for Star Wars story before the movie? Or was it just a script? I assume Stevie choose to start in the middle for a reason (like the beginning part was boring). Brian D. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

OT OS issue
by Zscoundrel 29 Apr '05

My darling bride just updates her 'doze 98 box and TOTALLY fubared it. It locks up 3 times a day instead of the usual twice a week and she is not able to connect to a secure website she uses to VPN into the work LAN. Any ideas on what needs to be done to fix it. It has been several years since I lowered myself to tinker with a 'doze box that I sort of forget the drill. Walter * * * * * This week Bill Gates announced that he would like to see the limits removed on H1-B visas. Isn't it good enough that he can afford to BUY India without having to bring it here for storage???

Commentary On Revenge of the Sith

Made me laugh: Re:I don't trust him (Score:3, Funny) Seriously though, even if RotS is every bit as dark and well-written (and freakin' well-acted please!) as one could hope, am I the only one who is beyond giving a damn? Looking at the last 2 from Lucas, it would be like having a 3-course meal where the final dish was fantastic but the first 2 gave you projectile-vomiting food poisoning. No real way to salvage the meal. If I do see it, it'll be the DVD rental. A $5 rental for the entire family is all I'm willing to risk. Re:I don't trust him (Score:5, Funny) I'm on the verge of not downloading it... after the Phantom Plot, and Attack of the Cloned Wooden Actors, there's no faint spark of hope that RotS won't suck donkey balls. Expect a total letdown. Jar Jar? Check. Hayden Cristensen? Check. Cartoon Yoda? Check. Yup, it's gonna suck. I pity tha fools.

I think Hal needs this for his current project. As found on Slashdot: Our OS who art in CPU, UNIX be thy name. Thy programs run, thy syscalls done, In kernel as it is in user!

Extracting ALL of the attachments from a mailing list
by Gerald Combs 29 Apr '05

29 Apr '05

Before I start rolling my own solution, does anyone know of a utility or collection of utilities that will 1) Extract all of the MIME attachments from a mailing list archive, 2) Extract the files from any archived (tar|zip|rar|...) attachments, 3) Move each extracted file to a specific directory, renaming it if there's a naming collision, and 4) Remove any duplicate files.

Howdy: I was considering to pursue a Linux certification. According to your opinion which certification is better or more rewarding to pursue, if any.

I'd like to go anywhere too, but I'll probably just dream about buying a new PC and paying off my lawyer. Although I really need to get a new (read used) laptop. Or at least a power cord for my current one. Anyone have a powercord for an IBM 380Z, they'd be willing to sell cheap?
