To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

After working on press releases for the So Cal Linux Expo for literally
months, you run a bit dry sometimes.  I asked the SCALE volunteers with
suggestions for reasons why you'd want to come to SCALE.  Here's what we
came up with (remember at this point the staff is a bit punchy, too):

The top Ten Reasons to attend the So Cal Linux Expo!

12. The booth babes
11.  An extended tour of LAX terminals and shuttles
10.  The 405 freeway at 5 p.m.
9.  Experience El Nino up close and live
8.  You didn't get one of the flashing, magnetic Google pins last year
7.  Your own personal 6.0 on the Richter scale
6.  LinuxWorld was too far
5.  Walking sideways in expo floor aisle
4.  Scrumptious hotel food.
3.  Tell her you're shopping for that perfect Valentine's Day present
and these things take time
2.  Your very own VLAN
and the top reason for attending SCALE:
1.  The SCALE T-shirt
(OK, there were more than ten. We had fun with it).

Seriously, folks – here's the real Top Ten reasons to attend SCALE:

10.  Airport close!
9.  Great raffle prizes
8.  Tutorials on essential Open Source networking applications
7.  Put on by people who really CARE about putting on a great show for you.
6.  The best place to view Open Source applications in action
5.  Great talks by Open Source Luminaries
4.  Best collection of .org booths anywhere
3.  It's not the East Coast!
2.  The best place on the West Coast to meet people who LOVE Open Source
software.
and the top reason for attending SCALE:
1.  The SCALE T-shirt

Come to SCALE and have a blast!
SCALE will be February 9-11, 2007, at The Westin LAX Hotel.  For more

Check all the mixer settings and try to set direct cd play (not 
digital).

Re: crappy audio

2007-02-03 Thread Diego Iastrubni
That's nice, analog audio does not work... only digitaly. Another Microsoft 
consipracy? Who cares.

I changed the outpur engine from arts to alsa (kscd). Sound still sounds 
crappy. Anyway, this is not the solution since most of my music I consume 
digitally (ogg on amarok, using xine engine if anyone wants to know).

Enabling powersave for an lcd screen

2007-02-03 Thread Tzahi Fadida
Hi,
A while ago i had a system crash and i had to reinstall kubuntu from scratch.
The powersave before worked and it also work now in windows.
However, i can't seem to get it to work on the new installation.
both acpid and apmd do not work.
sudo acpid start
acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy
sudo apmd start
No APM support in kernel

I have kubuntu edgy updated.
Bios have apm enabled.

I also tried in the boot process to add acpi=force apm=off.
and acpi=off apm=force, though this method did not load the kernel.

I also tried installing powersaved.

What else can i do?
10x.

p.s.: i started with dapper and upgraded to edgy with adept.
and the kernel is
Linux Linux 2.6.17-10-386 #2 Tue Dec 5 22:26:18 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

Re: ID theft (offtipicish)

2007-02-03 Thread Ira Abramov
Quoting Michael Vasiliev, from the post of Thu, 01 Feb:
   What reason do you have to believe that your identity is worth stealing?

actually I have something to add to that: how does a name on a list help
an identity thief? there's not enough information here about you to
abuse it.

 one of these topics is none of my business. I like to see who is who in this 
 trade, but that's my point of view and I am not to project it on others. Not 
 to mention that we all agree that withholding one's identity online is a 
 right worth exercising. The question of how to do it efficiently is left as 
 an exercise to the reader.

well, according to Google, my name draws a few results, so I'm already
out there and it's too late. My address and phone number are also online
on my site and in the whois DB. I don't publish my state ID and of
course not my credit card, because that would be bloody stupid of me of
course... I'm less likely to have my identity stolen from the archives
of this list than by the waiter at the pub I went to on thursday when he
takes my card.
