That was about the only time that it worked apparently. :-( I've been a tiki developer for some time, and this gives me a reason to kick around in the code a bit to make sure that the surveys work. There's also a problem with the Javascript: Warning: ob_start(): output handler 'ob_gzhandler' cannot be used after 'URL-Rewriter' in /home/freephile/www/tiki/tiki-setup.php on line 800 Thanks, I noticed this problem too. Actually ob_start is a PHP function for output buffering so that a callback function (gzip compression) can be enabled for browsers that support gzipped responses. From the error message, and because this message is intermittent, I am guessing it affects certain pages where the application's chain of execution is flawed. I am in the process of upgrading my tiki site to the latest release and expect that will fix these problems. If I can get this poll working properly I will repost the invitation.

OT: Voting results in NH
The US Census Bureau reports that there were 926,224 persons over the age of 18 in NH in the 2000 Census. http://fastfacts.census.gov/servlet/CWSFacts?geo_id=04000US33_sse=on/ The Associated Press reports that about 200,000 people voted in the NH primary yesterday eg. http://abcnews.go.com/wire/Politics/ap20040128_982.html. They say it easily eclips[ed] the record 170,000 turnout in 1992. The AP does not mention anything about how poorly that turnout represents the population of NH. We can simply deduce that 22% of persons over the age of 18 voted yesterday in NH. If NH is the Live Free or Die state, I guess 78% would rather let Democracy die than cast a ballot for President of the United States The Greatest Democracy in the World. John Kerry received 84,229 votes which made him the winner. Put another way, by convincing fewer than 10% of eligible voters to vote for him, he 'wins' with a 38% share of the ballots cast. Regardless of your like or dislike of the candidates, they ARE the candidates. Democracy and your freedom are the casualty of a system that no longer can be called 'representative government'. If you live in NH and didn't vote, you missed your chance to participate in Democracy.

fetchmail truncating msgs?
I can send a large email message to myself (like, a msg with a large attachment) and retrieve it by hand if I telnet to the ComCast POP server and do the POP conversation myself, so I'm confident that the server isn't truncating my msgs. Unfortunately, it appears that fetchmail is unable or unwilling to haul the same large msgs off that same server; if I allow fetchmail to contact the server and pull the msgs over they arrive truncated. Any clues?

If NH is the Live Free or Die state, I guess 78% would rather let Democracy die than cast a ballot for President of the United States The Greatest Democracy in the World. But we're a republic, not a democracy. If we were a democracy Gore would be president. Your numbers also suppose that everyone *should* vote in a primary. I'm not convinced of that, for several reasons. First, there are more than two political parties, despite what the Republicrats and the Demopublicans think. Second, I can't fathom the logic of why a Republican should vote in a Democratic primary or vice versa. There's been several instances around the country where one party with an in-office, sure-thing candidate organizes its people to go vote in the other party's primary for the weakest primary candidate, just to try to create an uneven race in the real election. But hey, that's just me. I also can't figure out why my tax dollars are going to pay for the primaries of just these two private political parties -- in my warped worldview, tax money should pay for the primaries of all parties or none. -- Regards, | There are 10 kinds of people in the world: .| those who get binary, and those who don't.

Re: fetchmail truncating msgs?
I've never experienced this myself, but the Debian bug database for fetchmail http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=pkgdata=fetchmailarchive=no shows a couple of issues relating to truncated messages. Without more data on your config it's hard to say whether those might be what you're seeing, but the link is probably worth a look-see. -- Regards, | There are 10 kinds of people in the world: .| those who get binary, and those who don't.

RE: OT: Voting results in NH
Keep in mind that NH tends to lean towards republican, and for most republicans there was not much (if any) reason to go to the polls yesterday. This is very true, also the fact that a lot of independents (like myself) tend to side with the right a bit probably didn't go to vote either. I know none of the canidates really did much for me, so I didn't vote. And while I agree that it was a poor showing and everybody should go vote (if they have somebody to vote for) isn't part of the live free or die thing to have the choice to stay home and sit on your ass and not vote. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
Re: OT: Voting results in NH
Although it does not make a large difference, 2.3% of the people in NH are not citizens and are not elegible to vote. I did not see numbers for those over 18. I suspect that the percentage would be somewhat higher for them because children are automatically citizens if born in the US. In some states convicted felons can not vote. That is not the case in NH. You can not vote while incarcerated for a felony but your rights are automatically restored when you are released.

Debian is fastest growing GNU/Linux distro - Netcraft
This Netcraft News article at http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2004/01/28/debian_fastest_growing_linux_distribution.html reports, Over the last six months Debian has been the fastest growing Linux distribution when measured by counting active sites which contain the name of a Linux distribution in the Apache Server header. In percentage terms Debian is closely followed by SuSE and Gentoo. RedHat has a far greater number of sites but a slower growth rate, and actually fell this month, after making widely publicized and controversial changes to its licencing and security update policy. Maybe those Debian guys don't need to put all of the work they're pouring into their new multi-platform installation program. :-) -- Regards, | There are 10 kinds of people in the world: .| those who get binary, and those who don't.

If NH is the Live Free or Die state, I guess 78% would rather let Democracy die than cast a ballot for President of the United States The Greatest Democracy in the World. Democracy died a long, long time ago. You're also overlooking the fact that this election was a PRIMARY, and the participants were Democtrats. The Republicans have an incumbant, so they don't need a primary. New Hampshire is still predominantly a Republican state. Most of the voters in NH need not cast a ballot. They have no one to vote for. If they are committed to the Republican party, there is no choice in the matter for them. John Kerry received 84,229 votes which made him the winner. Put another way, by convincing fewer than 10% of eligible voters to vote for him, he 'wins' with a 38% share of the ballots cast. Regardless of your like or dislike of the candidates, they ARE the candidates. See above. Democracy and your freedom are the casualty of a system that no longer can be called 'representative government'. The only sense in which our government ever was such a thing is that the decisions that are made represent the interests of those who make them. That's still true today. Anyone who thinks their opinion is represented in our government is deluding themselves. If your elected leader's opinion truly represents your own opinion, you are the victim of a happy coincidence... If you live in NH and didn't vote, you missed your chance to participate in Democracy. Please urge everyone you know to vote. Nonsense. Democracy is a form of government where the citizens, as a matter of the normal course of government, make decisions about the laws that govern them. That form of government does not exist in the United States, nor any other country in the world, as far as I am aware. It has not existed for hundreds and hundreds of years, if ever it really did. At best, our government is a democratic replublic, where we elect leaders to make our decisions for us. In practice, it's not even that. Their votes represent our desires only insomuch as they need to in order to prevent sufficient discontent to incite open rioting and other forms of political instability. Beyond that, they represent the people who have money and power, just as they always have. The candidates are virtually indistinguishable, even at this stage of the game, and we have seen over and over that no candidate ever keeps their promises. I will not vote because I will not contribute to the mass dilusion that my vote is valuable. My vote is utterly worthless, and so is yours. Yeah, maybe I'm a cynic.
