Thanks for the link.

Specific or not, I'm sure such an article would interest any web site
owner it is written about.
It was just very difficult for me to fish the link from the mailing
list archives back when it was mentioned the first time around through
a mobile phone.

I suppose it should be possible to infer it from your IP address and a
simple script will insert "Bezeqint" into the appropriate places of a
template.

I'd suggest sending the email with all the headers to Bezeqint's
abuse handler.

Its a matter of taste and even mood. Its not a must. Just remember that
500GB or even 5TB could just as well be filled up rather quickly by
nonchalant bug in beagle or any other indexing tool. After that, it is a
matter of choice and any decision of acceptable.

I do not understand why would anyone need to track Beagle's disk usage
nowadays, when 500GB hard disks cost only the equivalent of few work
hours.

It is also information which does not need to be backed up.

There is a tradeoff between index size and ease of locating information.
I wonder whether there are studies about the smallest index size which
still facilitates fast information retrieval according to arbitrary
criteria.

Those command line tools usually do not work from an index (an exception
is 'locate').

Fishing attempt on Bezeqint webmail accounts

2009-04-05 Thread Gabor Szabo
Hi,

I've just received this message from some address that appears
to be in Brazil.
I wonder how did the senders knew I am a Bezeqint client or if they
just sent it to every address in their database?

Any ideas ?
Anyone else received this?

Gabor

I don't use Gnome, Moshe, so I wouldn't know. But KDE apps do work in
Gnome if you install the libraries.
