Re: [ilugd] FC6 RAM
but my system is not showing additional 2GB its just showing only 2GB memory. Which is the motherboard? Does it support more than 2GB? Test the new dimm in the old slot without putting in the new dimm to check compatibility. Check speed and CL of both the dimms to see if they are compatible.

Re: [ilugd] [bash] what a fork bomb!
I would like to know why, [shell]$ :(){ echo in background } works? [shell]$ :(){ echo in background } -- NOTE: no ampersand( ) here! does not work? Interesting fork-bomb - probably the shortest possible. The : could have been any char usable as a variable like say _ but : looks neat because it is thin and is not an alphabet :) If you do [shell]$ :(){ echo in background; }; it will work.

You think you are being funny-- but how would you feel if someone made fun of your children in a similar manner ? and that too a whole group of males ? What does group of males or making fun of children have to do with the point you are trying to make. you think that all newbies are children who should be spoon fed like in a school?

It is just a case of people still figuring out how to live on the Net. I would suggest that instead of using the word ban (I have just been hearing it too much in the media recently for other things), we use the word temporary suspension instead. Internet etiquette and especially that in open source communities is not intuitive to people coming from meatspace(there, i always wanted to use that word :-P). It might seem intuitive in retrospect, but I insist it is not, otherwise.

[personal stuff snipped] Priya, I believe you're looking at the function and the functioning of this list in a slightly different way from what most people perceive it to be. To elaborate, this list is meant to discuss Linux, FOSS and related issues. This includes technical issues, but the list also serves as a vehicle for discussing larger social issues. Surprisingly (or perhaps not so surprisingly), the list is also used to find like-minded people and organise face to face meetings, etc. On the other hand, no matter how tempting the social and meeting opportunities may be, they must not be allowed to subsume the primary function of the list (Linux, free software and related technologies). Unfortunately, mass invites from (may I use the term?) idiots who think nothing of giving their whole address book to a social networking site are getting more common every day, and we've already been spammed by various sites, inviting us to join in and participate in the fun. Similarly, no matter how important it may be for the world to condemn (say for the sake of argument) the Vadodra riots, the discussion of that has no place on this mailing list. Which is not to say it must not be discussed (or social networking sites must be deprecated), just use an appropriate vehicle for the discussion. I have nothing against social networking sites (well, I do, but that's neither here nor there), but you would appreciate that there's a difference between sending a PERSONAL invite to your friend inviting him/her to join the site and a RANDOM invite to thousands of people whom you've never met, and many of whom you're likely to never meet (because, e.g. they live 7000 KM away from you). The former is quite acceptable; the latter completely unacceptable. Further, long-term users of the Internet have an ingrained reaction to spam (unsolicited bulk mail), and the reaction is usually along the lines of: Kill the spammer before s/he can send another mail to my inbox. I personally spend about 1/3 my working day reading and responding to e-mail. If I have to spend even an hour a day handling spam, that means I lose 12.5% of my potentially productive time. Given that, are you surprised if I (and people like me) try to ridicule, belittle and insult spammers? Given the choice between getting more work done and making more money, and being nice to (or even tolerating) spammers, guess which one I'd choose? Combine the above two, and you would start to get an understanding of why the list explodes whenever someone commits the two cardinal sins: (a) giving his/her personal details and addressbooks to a commercial site and (b) helping a site spam a mailing list. The first harms the user directly and all users of the Internet indirectly. The second harms all of us who use e-mail as a tool for fun as well as business. Perhaps the reactions are extreme, but at least they're understandable. And the motives that you attribute to people aren't the real motives at all. P.S.
