Hi,
executive summary: "please obscure the email addresses in the
winehq mailing list archives, I'm drowning in spam"!
I am facing a tidal wave of spam. Recent research showed that
the main way spammers get email addresses is by web crawling.
Therefore, I'm doing a web search for my work email address
(dank at ixiacom.com), and doing my best to erase all mention of it.
I hate doing this, but the spam is getting so bad I have to do something,
and spam filtering isn't quite doing the job.
I …
[View More]expect others are now or will soon be in the same situation.
Most mentions of my work address are in web archives of mailing lists.
While many mailing lists have instituted some privacy controls,
many others have not.
Here's a couple examples of archived messages containing my work address:
http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-users/2001/09/0474.htmlhttp://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2003/02/0190.html
I have no specific evidence the wine archives in particular
have been harvested by spammers, but if Google can see my
address there, so can they...
Examples of effective privacy measures for mailing list archives
include:
* restricting archive access to list members
* not restricting access, but using the HTTP password mechanism
to discourage spiders (e.g. perforce-users mailing list)
* simply obscuring all email addresses in message headers or trailers
That last countermeasure is my favorite one, since it means that
Google will still have full access to the info in the list archive.
I would greatly appreciate it if the archive would institute one of
the above spam countermeasures (preferably the last one).
I understand that overly harsh spam countermeasures would be
harmful to normal discourse, but I trust some useful middle
ground can be found.
Thanks,
Dan Kegel

We have an application developed by our company, that
application use a ODBC connection. I need to know if there
previous experiencies with that kind of port.

Gerald,
either this is wrong for the other 30 occurances in ~/include, or more
explanation is needed, why this is wrong here and not in the other …

It's time for the annual server crash kids! Whee!
Our server melted last night at about 3am or so after 2 days of solid
high traffic (the load average was up over 100). I managed to get it up
and running with some WD-40, Duct Tape, and some bubble gum. I can't
guarantee uptime right now. I AM, however, scrambling to beef it up to
handle the load.
I apologize in advance for any further downtime. As you can imagine,
with all this good press, I don't want the server do be down any longer
than a …

If anyone has a quad processor Xeon they are not using, feel free to
send it my way. :-D

Hi all,
Am I the only to find the current CVS performance abyssmal ? About 5 minutes
for a CVS update and 10 for a CVS diff is not what I usually have on my
connection...
Let's hope it's Alexandre merging all the Crossover Office 2.0 patches <g>.

I'm noticing that during the last few weeks several mails have been sent to
the cvs list that use 8-bit characters but do not specifiy an encoding in the
mail header. Would it be possible to either add one (depends on whether cvs
does recognize the encoding type) or remove those extra characters?

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.

[View More]conditions a derived work can be distributed.
But that is exactly what I said above.
Should I interpret it as you agree?
But please note that the last step meantioned above is not distribution,
it is sale (or gift) on an invidual copy allowed by first sale.
And as I said earlier, it makes the conditions for redistribution
is rather meaningless, since anybody regardless or willingless or
abillity to follow the redistribution conditional can indirectly
for all intent and purposed have distributed to anybody your work,
while seperately distributing anything that uses, modififies,
adapts etc your work for his purposes on the end users computer.
The situation for the Microsoft Visual FoxPro (MVFP) runtime is almost
identical since you analagous to above can for all intent and
purpose have it distributed seperately.
Summary:
Microsoft released the MVFP runtime for all intent an purpose for free
since they thought that charging for it would be bad for their purposes.
Some people release some work under the LGPL because they thought charging
for it would be bad for their purposes...
Nobody can both have the cake and eat it. Microsoft can't, I can't, you can't...
And futher more, again, Copyright law is designed that way on purpose,
not by accident.

I am debugging a shareware game my kids often play called little fighter 2 (It
deadlocks after creating the third thread) But before I get to the deadloack
I noticed I get the following two messages from wine,
err:module:BUILTIN_LoadModule loaded .so but dll wineaudioio.drv still not
found
err:module:BUILTIN_LoadModule loaded .so but dll joystick.drv still not found
from what I can see wine is loading the two shared libraries ok and
__wine_dll_register gets properly called EG
…
[View More]Breakpoint 2, __wine_dll_register (header=0xdcb82480, filename=0xdcb721f6
"wineaudioio.drv") at loader.c:327
Yet find_dll_descr( dllname ) in builtin.c fails to find the name ??
Any hints would be appreciated

One problem is …
[View More]that this code causes hundreds of warnings, and I don't
think that's acceptable (it also fails to link but that could be fixed
by adding a few stubs). We could fix the warnings manually but that
will cause obvious maintenance problems. How far are we from being
able to generate that with widl?
