 Nostradomus died in the 1500's, this is a hoax.

He Just Wasn't Very Good At It

Ask most people about Nostradumus, and they will tell you he made some 
predictions a long time ago, and some of them may have come true.  Ask the 
same people about Ignoramus and they will say who?  

Most people don't realize that Ignoramus,  the younger brother of 
Nostradumus, also made predictions, but he failed miserably at it.  So much 
so, that his name has become synonymous with doing something really stupid.

  Hi, folks
 
  While I do agree that recent airplane flights which missed
  their intended
  destinations and bumped in WTC and pentagon ARE extremely interesting
  subjects for discussion, it is time to remind you that this is a
  LINUX-MANDRAKE related mailing list.
 
  But I find your above comment trivializing the terrorist
  attack and the death of what now looks to be more than 6000
  people as being patently offensive

 Denis' comment was simply immature, and of course very offensive as well.
 That's the kind of thing that people hide behind their computers to say.

 Matt


Offensive, rude, inconsiderate and just plain mean spirited.

There was a posting on  alt.prophecies.nostradamus from  Xinoehpoel on 
8-31-2001.

Something is going to happen tomorrow. This is a witness against everyone on
this newsgroup. I hate this newsgroup, and everyone on it sucks. REPENT! You
are all evil liars! Do not be so evil, and be holy. You are going to get me
killed because of the truth of my mouth. I am not telling you what is going
to happen until it does, because an EVIL and adulterous generation seeks for
a sign.

A followup posting was made on 9-4-2001.

Wait 7 days, and then maybe I'll answer this post. You see, I am going away
in seven days, and you will not hear from me again.

That puts the date 9-11-2001.

Re: [newbie] where to get new kernel?

2001-09-10 Thread Bill R

I dont know why they recommend that you upgrade. The security hole only 
affects you if you are running an FTP server.  You do know that you will lose 
supermount if you upgrade.

 Did you by chance mean kernel-2.4.7-12.3mdk.i586.rpm?

 If so, it's at www.rpmfind.net

Normally a HSP means its a software modem that is tied to the OS/Windows and 
will not work under Linux though some work has been done in this area. Check
