dsl or cable
by Dr . Sharukh K . R . Pavri . 10 Apr '02

10 Apr '02

I am getting a choice of braodband access in the sense that I am being offered DSL (Dishnet) and Cable access (Hathway). both are costing *almost* the same as far as monthly/yearly dues, though if I opt for a personal cable modem, I will have to pay a little more (~8000 bucks) for the modem. I want to know if someone has used these services. Which one would be preferable. What should I look out for ? What are the queries I need to get answered from both these chaps ? I already asked if they are blocking port 80 as I will get a static IP and would like to host my site myself. The guy I spoke to did not know about the port 80 stuff so he will get back to me. regards, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri. Mumbai, India.

pine or mutt?
by Nikhil Joshi 09 Apr '02

09 Apr '02

Hi! I've found that there is a cult following as far as mail agents and editors are concerned. A guy who uses vi rearely uses emacs and vice versa also a guy who uses mutt rarely uses pine or any other mail agent. I would like to discuss about mail agent here (I use vi and I love it ;) I use pine and it suffices most of my needs. Has anyone used both pine and mutt extensively? What in your opinon is more powerful and user friendly? when I enter mutt the inital UI is not inviting and I'm forced to press the q key :) I've read that mutt relies on .rc file editing. I'm planning to learn mutt but I just don't want to be disappointed if I figure out that there ain't much difference between pine and mutt. -- "If we wanted more leisure, we'd invent machines that do things less efficiently." -Calvin's dad

konqueror and java applets
by Amish Mehta 09 Apr '02

09 Apr '02

Hi, I am trying to run Yahoo chat(through http://chat.yahoo.com) on konqueror but it doesnt show anything(except frames at bottom, menu frame and advt. frame) and X shows following error: Font specified in font.properties not found [--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific] I did xlsfonts and found -adobe-symbol... font to be present. So I replaced --symbol with -adobe-symbol in /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_02/jre/lib/fonts.properties file and the error changes to Font specified in font.properties not found [-adobe-symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific] So I wonder where does it search for fonts. I have no idea about if what I did was correct so i un-did it. Is it konqueror problem, java problem or yahoo problem(only IE/Netscape allowed?)? Surprisingly, Yahoo Pool works very well in konqueror. Also yahoo chat works on Netscape without any problem. So how do I enable yahoo chat in konqueror. Do i have to install or tweak something in konqueror(or java)? I have konqueror 2.1.1(KDE 2.1.2) with java from jdk 1.3.1_02. Netscape version in communicator 4.77 with its own internal JRE. Amish.

Anybody in /etc/passwd is logically a user, but in general ftp, mail, daemon, bin etc are system users, used by daemons(background processes, run ps aux) I dont have any idea about purpose of halt and shutdown users. Try man halt or man shutdown. >Can I halt without logging in ? You cant halt/reboot unless you login as root(superuser).

Hi Philip, I downloaded your lecture on regex from the ACM website. I have a query; I am a bit confused with the following lines from your examples. [A-Z^] - match anything from A-Z or ^ [-A-Z] - match anything from A-Z or- [+-*/] - match anything from + to * and / [-+*/] - match - + * / Does the first line mean match anything from A to Z or A to ^ ? or does it mean match anything from A to Z or match ^ ? similarly if you could also explain the other three lines please. I am writing to the list so tha teveryone can benefit from the answer. Thanks, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri. Mumbai, India.
