IBM "clicky" keyboards
by Adam Thompson 13 Oct '16

13 Oct '16

Enough people have wondered/asked/complained to me about this that I'm posting this now as a public service. IBM Model "M" keyboards are still available, *NEW*, today. They are expensive, but they are the original design that you can use as a melee weapon. The catch is that they don't say "IBM" or even "Lexmark" on them. They are available for purchase from the manufacturer, Unicomp, who can be found online at http://www.pckeyboard.com/. You can also find some vintage NIB units from time … [View More]

SpamAssassin false positives on DATE_IN_FUTURE_96_Q?
by Gilbert E. Detillieux 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

I mentioned this problem at the last round-table session, but didn't get a solution, so I thought I'd post it here, just in case anyone has any suggestions to offer. I'm still seeing a whole bunch of false positives in SpamAssassin, since an update was installed in mid-September on a CentOS 5.7 system, for a rule called DATE_IN_FUTURE_96_Q, which is only supposed to be triggered when the "Date:" header has a date that is 4 days to 4 month ahead of the date in the "Received" header that … [View More]

Does anyone have big (like tabloid or bigger) scanner they want to sell? Even an ancient SCSI or parallel one might be ok. I just want *big*. Do they even make scanners bigger than legal or tabloid?

weird ssd image issue
by Trevor Cordes 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

I made a drive image of an SSD using dd a while back. I had to go back to the image to do a repair, and something is wrong with the image. When put back on the SSD and a boot is attempted, Windows7 won't boot. I check it with linux and it says the main NTFS FS is corrupted. I run fixes on it and I can mount it and look at many files, but every 50 or so files generates an I/O error when listing the directory entry, let alone trying to read the file. I do these types of images all the time and … [View More]

Ubuntu -> Kubuntu
by Kevin McGregor 28 Oct '14

28 Oct '14

I just installed Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, and I was wondering what Kubuntu would be like on the same system. Is it as easy as apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and logging out/in (or rebooting)? Are there any gotchas to look out for? I've installed a couple of apps, specifically VMware Workstation and Google Chrome. Will they continue to work transparently? That is, I don't need to re-install them, do I?

wanted: Seagate 2TB
by Trevor Cordes 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

Do you own a Seagate ST2000DM001 2TB drive? That's their cheap desktop line of which they have sold zillions. For a project, I need a close match to an existing drive. If you have one of these drives that matches what I need, I would be willing to trade you your old drive for a brand new 3TB ST3000DM001 drive! You can't lose! So check if your drive (the sticker on the top) matches: PN must be 1CH164-575 date code should be very close to 13493, preferably one that starts with "13" (the … [View More]
