10/15   What's the soda email client these days?
        \_ Don't know.  /usr/bin/mail hasn't been working for a while.

8/29    There was once a CSUA web page which runs an SSH client for logging
        on to soda.  Does that page still exist?  Can someone remind me of the
        URL please?  Thx.
        \_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
           \_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet
              that implemented an ssh v1 client.  I think this page went away

2/14    You sure soda isn't running windows in disguise?  It would explain the
        uptimes.
        \_ hardly, My winbox stays up longer.
        \_ Nobody cares about uptime anymore brother, that's what web2.0 has
           taught us.  Everything is "stateless".
           \_ You;d think gamers would care more about uptime.

4/6     My company is evaluating version control systems. Our two candidates
        are Perforce and Subversion. Anyone worked with both and have good
        arguments one way or the other? (These are the only two options we
        have.) We're most interested in client performance, ease of use, and
        reasonable branching.

8/1     Where is the mac desktop going to go? It seems all the development
        in sw/hw now is for the iphone, imac.  2 finger Gestures won't work
        on the desktop.  What happened to the xserve line?
        \_ Two finger gestures DO work on the desktop.  Have you used a new
           Apple laptop lately...they support up to 5 finger gestures.

4/25    I have an Airport Express.  is there some way to let computer

        successfully.  I can get to internet on both of them.  I just can't
        ping each other.  weird.  maybe they think that's a feature?
        \_ Sounds like your router is enforcing client isolation. If you can't
           change the setting on the router you're probably SOL.

4/11    Is there a spyware detector that is free and can scan networked
        drives? Neither AdAware (free edition) nor SpyBot S&D have this
        feature, and I'd prefer to not pay AdAware Pro a penny until
        there really isn't any other alternative.
        \_ How about SuperAntiSpyware?
           \_ Just tried that, no luck :( They let you add remote drives

3/4     Hi, what's the best free anti-virus software for XP?  What about
        anti-spyware?  Currently I'm using Active Virus Shield and Spybot.
        Thanks.
        \_ I've used: avg, spybot s&d, adaware, trend micro's housecall.

10/17   Some iPods shipped w/ a Windows Virus:

        \- why dont more viruses delete massive amounts of data?
           it seems like if the virus writers wanted to hurt msft
           that what they should do in addition to spreading.

8/21    Does spybot do real-time detection if I use Firefox in XP?  Is there a
        process in Task Manager that I can look for to make sure Spybot is
        running on my PC?  Thanks.
        \_ Spybot is marginally effective against spyware now. Get
           Process Explorer from http://sysinternals.com for something better than
           Task Manager.

8/14    Are there any standard test spyware and test spam our there similar to

5/23    I have DSL through AT&T. The service was originally established
        through PacBell, transitioned to SBC, and now AT&T. I still have
        my original plan and never converted to a SBC Yahoo! (now AT&T
        Yahoo!) account. I noticed the price will be a lot cheaper if I
        do. Are there any drawbacks? I thought someone mentioned some
        negatives about the Yahoo! tie-in once upon a time.

6/23    Is it safe to buy Quicken on eBay for ~$9.99?  They always claim that
        they are legit versions, but don't come in the retail box.  What are
