  Quoting Jonathan Ben Avraham, from the post of Tue, 30 Jan:
   Hi RP,
   What reason do you have to believe that your identity is worth stealing?

 So, a man decides to call himself Random Penguin, rather than, say, Daniel 
 Johnson [...] Call me whatever you want, but I 
 believe that sometimes these virtuals allow a person to express her/him-self 
 better than under the real name. There are topics some people would like to 
 discuss while staying incognito. Now, his decision that Linux in Israel is 
 one of these topics is none of my business.

I agree completely and I don't think that Daniel Johnson (or whatever)
must identify himself legally to us when discussing Linux in Israel or
any other topic. But I also think that when one conducts political
activity - such as organizing a petition - it looks very suspicious if
one does not identify oneself using a real name. I personally am very
loath to subscribe to political activities organized by anonymous
people.

I did not really understand this. Are you saying there is a limit on the

I also make backups of my emails and there can be as much as a million files, 
pherhaps more because of the mbox style(i think) of holding mails.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but so far as I know mbox
saves all the emails of a particular folder in one big file. So if you
have 200 emails in 5 folders, then you will have 5 mbox files.

Kmail has another two or three files per mbox folder, so you really
will have 5*n folders, but you get the idea. It's not 200*n.

RE: [Partial Resoltion] Re: PPTP issues and Barak over cable

2007-02-01 Thread Micha Feigin
I did it initially, but barak changed something, I'm not sure if the IPs of
their servers or something else and it got the whole thing messed up again. Took
me some time to figure out the reason (since the first time I used directions
that gave explicit IPs).
 
I think I got the overriding automatic now for the next time. Finding the right
gateway is more of a problem though.

Hi,

Just for making sure: MediaWiki is the most mature/full-of-features 
*hebrew-supporting* free wiki product?

Anyone knows something better?
