Spam
by Jason Couture 07 Jan '12

07 Jan '12

If anyone knows a good way to get various types of spam, please let me know. I've tried the usual suspects and tactics but I'm not getting enough (approx 1 message per hour Max). I'm attempting to train a Bayesian filter. I've got a honeypot email address setup (honeypot(a)openflock.com) if anyone has a maildir formatted spam folder that has alot in it, please feel free to tar it and send it to me. I'm looking for approx 3,000+ emails.

Acer Flat-screen monitor, needs repair, does anyone want?
by E Johnson 05 Jan '12

05 Jan '12

Offering this here first. I have a monitor which started blacking out 3 days ago. I always liked this monitor (had 2, the other one still doing just fine!). This is an Acer Flat-screen monitor, 19-inch screen, 1680x1050, DVI or VGA input. The resoultion on this is especially nice. Good color, at least I always enjoyed it. Specs: Acer X193WBD. 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor - 5ms, 1680x1050, (WSXGA+), 2000:1, DVI, Black (A179-1944) This ls not-quite 3 years old, still in warranty. It powers on, but flickers, then black-screens. Acer says they can and will fix it (free parts / labor) . It needs to be shipped back to Acer (in Texas), who will fix it & return within a few weeks. Shipping might be around $40.00, but is still considerably cheaper than buying a new monitor like this. Acer ships back at no cost, the only shiping cost is one-way, TO Acer. Or if you are good at fixing stuff like this, it might be just the thing. E-mail me for details if interested. I'm in Worcester near Elm Park. Liz J

[OT] Internet Service Provider
by Chuck Noyes 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Hi All, I'm getting fed up with Verizon's inability to fix their DSL service - it's been incredibly slow for the last couple of months. Customer support has been no help. So, I'm curious what ISP people like (and don't like). I'd prefer a local one, but at this point, I'm not fussy. I'm looking for something reliable. We have Charter as the cable TV provider. I don't know if I want to go that route. I don't want to start a "religious war" - I'm just looking for information so I can make an informed decision. Thanks, -Chuck

Question about dpkg
by Randall Mason 27 Oct '11

Sometimes it only compiles for the currently running kernel. Are you running the old one outside of the chroot jail? When you are in the chroot jail, and run uname -a, what do you get?

Question about dpkg
by Andy Stewart 26 Oct '11

26 Oct '11

HI guys, I have a bunch of files in a chroot jail which are used to create my remastered Ubuntu CD with ham radio applications. I installed oss-linux from its .deb package downloaded directly from opensound.com. I did this because OSS worked with this package but not the packages in the Ubuntu repository. I have removed alsa, pulse audio, and any other non-OSS sound software I could find. The result works great for my needs (older computers and software insisting upon access to /dev/dsp). Now, here's the interesting issue. In that chroot jail, I upgraded the kernel from 2.6.38-11 to 2.6.38-12 via the Ubuntu repositories. Doing this somehow wiped out my installation of oss-linux-<ver>.deb, so I attempted to reinstall it via "dpkg -i oss-linux-<ver>.deb". The error that I received indicated that it wanted to see the kernel sources for 2.6.38-11 (the old kernel). I can't get it to look at the new kernel sources 2.6.38-12. There some crufty file laying around somewhere and I can't find it. I even tried "dpkg -r" (to remove it), and "dpkg --purge", both to no avail. Does anybody have any idea where I should look?

Myth Box Resources and HD DVR Info?
by joel d 24 Oct '11

24 Oct '11

Hi, I am re-working our TV to HDTV currently and trying to decide on a DVR. Currently I use Charter's DVR and not impressed with their DVR layout/features. Currently I am looking at either the DirectTV whole house DVR option or building a Myth DVR box(s). Not sure I want to bite off the Myth though due to needing 2 machines, tuner card, and chunks of my time (vs turnkey for an "appliance"). I have read the docs at MythTV website but am asking current Myth users: 1) Others are running for Myth hardware (front and back end specs) 2) Any estimates on install startup hours and monthly maintenance hours. 3) Any tips for a quick & smooth Myth install in late 2011 My current plans include a video source of HD via satellite from Dish or DirectTV and am leaning towards a Samsung 55" LCD/LED set. I got the impression around three years ago that Myth was a "techie time intensive" thing to setup and run. I could be all wet on that impression or it may have changed. Thank you, Joel

Originally I worked with SUNsparc work stations using Aurora. About 2003 I added Fedora Red Hat to a dual booted Windows machine. My two SUN's got reduced to one virtue of hardware issues. Then I turned it off. The Red Hat part of my big disk became sick in 2005. I've been Windows XP 2004 Professional ever since. Recently I rebuilt a Fedora machine and am appalled at how much I have forgotten.. Sigh...... Thanks, Ken
