I can see quite a few empty postings this week. Even though there have been reports of the same issue with this mailid on other lists, I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it was deliberate. As has been noted he is using "iPhone Mail" and he is locate in China. Also, as I mentioned earlier, since gmail has this wonderful feature of not showing email "from" you that come through mailing lists it is perfectly reasonable he had no clue as to what was happening and considering the types of messages he was getting and potentially his lack of English skills... Well, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. On that note, I did send him an email off list and explained to him the situation. My wife wasn't home, so I could not get it to the person in Chinese. But, after I did we haven't seen any more of his "responses". So, maybe it is fixed. -- A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof was to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. -- Douglas Adams in "Mostly Harmless -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

I still use 9 on this laptop, because it suits me. I tried 11 on it, and found that a bit of a pain, and a bit of an improvement, but not enough to update it. I've got 16 on a desktop, but I find that a very large pain. I'm beginning to wonder if I can find an update that I'm going to be happy with.

This sounds slightly nutty (as well as OT).

Sorting Shotwell files..? & "people bugs".. & resizing icons in home-dir..?
How do I configure Fedora-1 to bring-up shotwell's slideshow automatically up on the desktop at boot, starting with the last pix that was showing..? _ A clean living computer-user health-tip: The world is right in the middle of a full-blown serious "chigger, mite, and bedbug plague".. 99% of human itches are from microscopic-spiders feeding.. Proof: Dab a tiny bit of petroleum jelly "vaseline" on an itch.. If the itch disappears in about 20-seconds, it was a feeding spider-mite that ran out of oxygen, and died from the grease blocking its air intake.. it suffocated.. If you use public keyboards, like at universities, hospitals, coffee houses, and such, and happen to notice horribly itchy hands and nose just a few minutes later, that's spider-mites feeding.. They feed by injecting digestive fluids into a cell.. the cell explodes, thus the itch... Solution: Get to the computer store, and purchase one of those new all rubber indestructible roll-up USB silent keyboards for about $20, or a "clean keys" keyboard for more $.. Take it with you to the public computers you use, and just plug 'em in, and hope they work if they aren't Linus OS's... While you're at it, you might want to bring your own mouse too.. I try to avoid public seating.. When I can't, like a doctor's office waiting room, or public computer seating, or restaurant, or bus or taxi, I place a clear clean leaf-bag over the seat, to prevent "itchy bum", from those heavily mite infested seats.. No sense in bringing mites into the home if you can avoid it with a little care and caution.. is why some houses have "mud-rooms", and "guest houses".. You'll live longer and healthier.. and might even make it to download and run the ISO "Fedora-50 Blue-Streak" one day. In my "bugs research" I concluded that approx. 30% of all human disease are spread by spider mites... There's a super insecticide product on the market, that works well on this problem.. "Konk Insecticide Foam", but it definitely isn't for skin.. But it doesn't have the same vile odors and fumes conventional insecticides do.. I konk-spray, and bleach, nearly everything I get from garage sales and flea markets, with the stuff, especially old computer towers after I've air-pressure blown the dust out from up-wind, to ensure I'm not bringing blood-sucking pests into the house, given that mites and bed-bugs are now prevalent in every city and town on the planet these days... This be just a word to the Wise, to help my Linux "brothers and sisters" live more comfortable, healthier, and longer... ___ Is there Fedora-14 code to enable the user to pull a re-sized icon off the desktop to home-dir, with the icon remaining as small or large as it is on the desktop..? In Ubuntu the user has the controls to shrink icons in home-dir.. I wonder why this feature isn't in Fedora..? ___ -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Email service worth paying for.
