12/11   Since the SSH change, I've been getting the following error
        message in Outlook Express:  "The certificate's CN name does not
        match the passed value".  How can I get rid of this message?  I'm
        guessing it has to do with the certificate I'm using.  I got it from:
        <DEAD>soda.csua.berkeley.edu:995<DEAD>  It's called "localhost".  Do I
        need to use a new POP server?  Right now I'm using
        http://soda.csua.berkeley.edu port 995.  Or get a certificate from elsewhere?
        \_ ever since the new soda, emacs has been acting up on me.
           Anyone have a good default .emacs that allows me to do standard
           text editing, like editing motd?  Tab doesn't even work anymore;
           it's checking for programming(lisp?) statements, I think, and
           overriding all standard editing.
           \- i find the new emacs a little strange too. the issue isnt so
              much as a "good emacs" but solving specific problems.
           \_ Looks like an issue with the name of the temp file assigned
              by /csua/bin/me:   my $motdcurrent = "/tmp/motd.public.c.$>.$$";
           \_ That's strange.  Ever since the new soda, my emacs works better
              than before even though it's the same emacs version.  Now the
              prompt in my shell buffer is displayed in color, and my commands
              in bold.  When I do Ctrl-S to search, all the nearby matches are
              highlighted.  global-font-lock-mode now does color highlighting.
              BTW my .emacs file hasn't changed for 12 years.  If anyone can
              shed light on what's behind these improvements, that'll be great.

              \_ New soda is now running emacs 21, that's why.
                 \_ I thought it was also 21 before the upgrade.  No?
              \_ A fixed termcap maybe?
        \_ The self-signed SSL certs are now fixed. Thanks. You might want
           to look into using Mozilla Thunderbird instead of Outlook Express.
           \_ Thanks, the error is gone! -op
              \- i have noticed some interoperability issues between
                 older SSL programs and recent SSL applications.
                 doing a little digging, it looks like there are
                 some different padding strategies.
        \_ I've fixed the self-signed SSL certs, but that might not fix the
           message in Outlook Express. Try Mozilla Thunderbird. -brett
        \_ The self-signed SSL certs have been fixed. Try Mozilla Thunderbird.
        \_ telnetd is broken, can we get telnet turned back on?  thanks!

2/5     How is Firefox on version 10, while I still have 3.6 installed.
        I wait for the X.1 versions and they never come out.
        \_ I'm also on 3.6.26.  It claims that versions 4 - 10 are all faster
           than 3.6.x, but do they use more memory?  Thx.
           \_ Newer Firefox versions use less memory too:

9/13    Blah blah android blah, ok other than the bootjack stomp of the
        phone marketing crap of this, does anyone know where to find the old
        Android TCL scripting framework that was used for automating
        and controlling desktop apps (like mozilla for example). Thx.

7/15    Any comment on Firefox 3.5?  Better or worse than 3.0?  Thx.
        \_ currently has an unpatched remote code execution vulnerability,
           don't upgrade yet.  -tom
           \_ Ooh, glad that I asked.  Thanks!
              \_ 3.5.1 just released fixes it, supposedly.  Might be worth
                 waiting a few days to see how it shakes out.  -tom

        \_ The CSUA is considering asking campus to allow us to run NNTP for
           ucb.class.*, as bSpace sucks major major ass. Thoughts? --t
           \_ That's noble, but maybe the effort would be better spent

        of tabs open in another firefox window.  how do i combine them all
        into one window ?
        \_ Why would anyone use tabs? I don't use tabs, and I don't
           understand why anyone else would either.     -dim #1 fan
        \_ Install the Duplicate Tab plugin, and hit Ctrl-Shift-M.

3/13    Firefox 3 Beta 4:  Fast, cleans up memory good on minimize, stable,
        can install alongside FireFox 2.x
        Cons:  Extensions don't work and need to install beta versions, rich
        urlbar is nasty but as of today you can install oldbar extension
        Ah-nold would say:  Fuckin' fan-tah-stik!
        \_ Does it use less memory than 2.x when not minimized?  Long ago Fx

12/20   How do I make Mozilla Thunderbird grab all the contents of
        my IMAP folders too when I go offline ?  It grabs 'Inbox'
        just fine, but doesn't update my various folders unless
        I click on them.  thanks.
        \_ You missed the checkbox in "Offline & Disk Space" that says, "When I
           create new folders, select them for offline use", and the button
