3/6     What's the best p2p client out there now?  I don't want spyware, I
        don't want adware.  Windows prefered but *nix is fine, too.
        \_ for audio I really like Audiogalaxy (audiogalaxy.com).
           \_ just make sure they don't sneak adware in on you...
        \_ gnucleus.  Open-source gnutella client on windoz.
           It's very good stuff, I don't understand why anyone want to use
           commercial counterparts.
           http://gnucleus.sourceforge.net                --kngharv
           \_ Um, how about because the FastTrak clones have better search
              capabilities, hang on to in-progress downloads more consistently,
              are faster and get more hits? Gnutella-based clients are a poor
              cousin but you get what you pay for so I'm coping.
        \_ For FastTrak, I'm using Grokster but I was able to defeat the
           spyware using the procedure outlined here:
           http://www.project-insomnia.com/grokster.html
           For Gnutella, I use Gnucleus.
           \_ Thanks for the link!

3/6     How many people have a "webcam"? Do you need a special software to
        view it? Do you need to register with a central server? Also, what is
        a good webcam package (Intel or Logitech)?
        \_ trying to get all the teeny bopper real time porn from 14 year olds
           in south carolina putting their little titties on their net for
           you to jack off to?
           \_ urlP
           \_ Ewww.
              \_ I'm not making this up.  A friend of mine "confessed" to
                 having a few chats exactly as I describe.
                 \_ And in which correctional facility does he live now?
        \_ http://www.spotlife.com & http://www.camarades.com are two services that host
           webcamming. There are many different ways to do it: p2p,
           client/server, etc. Each service has it's advantages and
           disadvantages. For example, some don't do audio and some scale
           based on your available bandwidth.

3/6     Following up on my cookware questiona while back.  I've decided to
        get a stainless steel cookware set.  I'm wondering if it's worth
        spending more to get the ones that has copper on the outside.  It
        looks fancier but does it make a difference in cooking?  Thanks.
        \_ Yes, it does make a difference if the copper's thick enough, but
           it's also a lot more of a hassle to keep it looking nice.  Good
           copper pans are also very expensive.
           \_ If you don't like the way highly polished copper surfaces look
              with regular use (and no polishing), then go with Falk.  It's
              the same 2.5mm copper/stainless bimetal used by Mauviel and
              Bourgeat (in fact, Falk manufactures this bimetal and supplies
              it to the other two manufacturers), but the copper exterior
              has a brushed finish.
        \_ The heat spreads more evenly cooking your food more evenly.  But
           consider what you're cooking.  Will it matter?
        \_ Yes if it is Mauviel, Bourgeat, or Falk; probably not if it was
           made by someone else.  These three make copper cookware with a
           stainless steel lining; it is expensive, but works very well.
           Every other copper/stainless steel cookware line I'm aware
           of is stainless steel with a decorative copper plating on it
           (such as All-Clad's Cop-R-Chef, or Revereware).  The cheapest place
           I found for real copper cookware is
           http://www.buycoppercookware.com for Mauviel.  You can also get
           good prices on Falk at http://www.falkculinair.com
        \_ copper conducts better, ie. quicker heat, more even heat, and
           most importantly, quicker cooling.   IOW, one of the biggest
           advantages of copper is that it cools off practically immediately
           after you take it off the stove, great for meringue's or other
           such dessert things that are tres heat sensitive.  Otherwise, it's
           not that much better, utility wise than others.  Of course, it's
           a major pain in the ass to keep in "good looking" condition.
           \_ I think you underestimate the utility of a pan that heats
              evenly.  I'm living in an apartment with an electric stove.
              Using copper pots instead of stainless steel eliminates the
              hotspots from the burner coils.

3/6     I have one sunblade that has a CD-ROM drive and one that doesn't.  I
        need to install SW on the one that doesn't have the CD drive.  Both
        machines share the same network.  Is it possible to somehow read the
        CD on one machine across the network and install the software?  What's
        the easiest way to solve this without removing CD drives or hard drives
        and such?  Thanks.
        \_ NFS?
        \_ use NFS. Start nfsd and mountd if they're not running and export
           the file system on CDROM with "share" command. You can configure
           vold to do this automatically every time a CD is inserted.

3/6     hey freerepublic guy, what do you think of bush's
        kowtowing to the US steel industry?  - danh
        \_ it's utter berkeley!  the sacrifice of morals to take a stance
           on some issue clouded by stupidity!
        \_ How so?  By refusing to pick up the steel industry tab?  I'm not
           the freeper guy, btw.  The steel industry is incredibly pissed off
           that the feds won't pick up their pension debts.  What are you
           talking about?
        \_ Isn't this about Bush being able to claim that he stood
           by steel workers and reaping the political benefit of being
           loyal to supporters while at the same time being fully aware
           that this will be shot down by the WTO?
           \_ and trying to balance that against the votes he'll lose by
              driving up durable goods prices...
           \_ I think danh is talking about steel tariffs to protect the
              uncompetitive steel industry. Freeper's are split about it.
              - jeffwong
              \_ Well it isn't free competition if the competition is being
                 artificially boosted by their own tariffs and government
                 subsidies.  It's hard for a company to compete with the
                 entire tax base of a foreign nation.
                 \_ It's not always the government. It's cheaper labor and
                    better "tax incentives," and product dumping by the
                    competition. The fun part is that the foreign companies
                    can get around the US tariffs by selling to Canadian or
                    Mexican companies to ship to the US. NAFTA prevents the
                    tariffs being imposed on them.

3/6     My company is offering a half-day off for me to go volunteer in the
        community. Any suggestions? Preferably something that doesnt require

        \_ my probation officer made the same offer, and i cleaned up
           trash in people's park.  it rules. er...ok, so i didn't get
           time off from my job.

        \_ Does the half-day have to be the time you actually go volunteer?
           Or can you volunteer on a weekend and get a half-day on friday
           or monday? If so, look at http://www.trailcenter.org -- I've been

3/7     I have some e-mail messages at hotmail that I want to save and
        be able to read on unix, is there a way to export them?
        \_ forwarding to your unix account not good enough?
           \_ if that's the only solution that will work, but I have a lot
              of messages and I'd have to forward them all individually...
              plus, I'd like the messages to have a From field that's actually
              from the person who sent them rather than my hotmail account so
              I can do sorts, etc.
        \_ somewhat related question... is there a way to get e-mail messages
           from Outlook format to a standard unix-like mbox file?
        \_ somewhat related question... is there a way to convert an Outlook
           e-mail folder to a standard unix-like mbox file?
        \_ Doesn't hotmail offer pop access?
           \_ as far as I can tell you can POP from other mail systems into
              hotmail but not the other way around... but i'm not sure.
              \_ Using M$ mail clients (eg, Outlook(Express)), you can treat
                 Hotmail like a POP client and download a whole folder of
                 messages. Then, see above question about how to convert
                 this to UNIX mbox format.              - rory

3/7     So I get my ballot and stick it in the machine and punch a bunch

        bit hanging out anywhere.  It was a series of perfectly cut out little
        squares.  I've probably got some special technique they're not aware
        of in Florida... or something.
        \_ Woohoo. Based on your one ballot, you now have your career set up
           in front of you as an elections consultant in Florida. Have fun.
           \_ You mean I'm now qualified to count chads?  Sweet!  What about

              "interpret the meaning" in a ballot?  I really want that job.
