OT: Beer

2002-09-29 Thread Jefferson Kirkland

Ok, I know that there are a number of geeks out there who just love their 
beer (some members of MELBA tend to come to mind).  On one of tonights 
newscasts they mentioned this site:

http://www.beeradvocate.com/

The "beer advocate" website contains information about beer, ratings on 
quite a number of different brews, and a whole lot more.  I just thought 
some of you would enjoy this.

Regards,

Jeff Kirkland

Re: installing Linux by floppy to get driver

2002-09-29 Thread Tom Buskey


My old 486 didn't have a builtin CDROM.  I had an Adaptec 1542b and an
external SCSI CD ROM.  Redhat, Mandrake, etc all work just fine with
that setup.  The CD can be from a mac or sun as well.  Any SCSI CD-ROM
drive will work with CDs in the boxed set (stamped).  Older drives can
have issues with CD-R disks.  CD-RW can only be read on newer drives.

Re: Anyone ran into this? Domain disabled by Verisign claiming lack of payment...

I'm loathe to use Verisign for anything... my first experience with credit 
card fraud occurred because Verisign neglected to verify the card used to 
register a domain name; e.g., they pushed the charge through without 
verifying the name on the card, the address or the phone number.  This is a 
pretty sad practice for a company who says they're in the security 
business.

My domain is registered with DomainDiscover.  I originally used them for 
mail forwarding, web site forwarding and DNS, all of which worked great.  
When I brought my email and web site in-house, the changes were 
immediate... same thing when I switched by DNS to ZoneEdit.  They don't 
have discount prices, but they're a full-service registrar with a good track 
record.

These links might help...
