Message Boards
Hi All, Does anyone out there have any experience with building/running message boards? I was asked to find something that was Like the Message Boards on AOL. This, of course, is difficult for me, since I don't use AOL. However, the basic things that I think I need are 1) Multiple views (threaded, topic/tree, etc.) 2) Ability to see new posts only 3) HTML support (so poeple can post in different colors (people are wierd)) and 3) registration support. The closest thing that I have found is Zorum (http://www.zorum.com/portal/forumfeatures.html). Is there anything in particular that other people are using? Oh, and of course, it has to run from a Linux server running Apache. TIA, Kenny -- Tact is just *not* saying true stuff -- Cordelia Chase Kenneth E.

Tell them HTML is evil and not to use it, then show them that news server you've secretly been hiding in the corner :) news does threading, you can set up kill-folders, do all sorts of neat things with it, and it's easily archivable. Much better than message boards IMO :) But that's me, and I'm weird, I *like* using a philips head screwdriver on philips head screw instead of the far more prevalent 5lb. sledge hammer :) -- Seeya, Paul It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing, but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.

After looking at several a while back, I decided on
http://www.mawic.de/mwforum/ for several reasons. One reason being perl vs
PHP (don't ask. Personal preference, nothing beyond that), the ability to
easily create a new external authentication module, many language modules, and
what I at least got the impression of, a much more open development community.

I need to buy a digital camera. I want a good one, that's easily usable with Linux (USB conn. is fine if it works :) I've been thinking about: the Nikon CoolPix 995 the Canon G2 the Olympus E20 I've heard that the coolpix went downhill from the 990 to the 995, and further down hill still to the 5000. There's also a huge price difference between the 3 I listed above, with the E20 being the most expensive at $1600 and the 995 being $700. Anyone else have one of these, or, something else entirely that you feel strongly in favor of/against? I know very little about digital photography, and the terms used to descripe the camera capabilities seem complete foreign to me, coming from the old analog world of SLR cameras.

Re: Completely OT
I just bought a Canon S30. My requirements were: 1. $500 or less 2. 3MP minimum. 3. Either Compact flash or Smart Media. 4. Portability (eg. it's small), The Canons are CF. S30 is 3MP the S40 is 4. The G2 shares some of the features. A friend of mine from Atlanta who has a G2 and loves it.). Here are some URLs http://www.steves-digicams.com/ http://www.dpreview.com/ http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/0,aid,81989,tk,cx031102b,00.asp http://www.dcresource.com/ http://dcresource.pricegrabber.com/index.php/ut=cf12c78c18a901e2/ I bought mine mail order from BigApplePhoto.com. They had some problems with Master Card (not mine, but with their verification). They took my Discover and upgraded the shipping free. When I called customer service during normal business hours, I talked to a real live human who was able to answer my questions. (I had ordered an extra Lithium battery which was back ordered, but not indicated on my shippment). They were a bit higher (about $1.00) then the lowest on price grabber, but were higher rated.

Re: Completely OT
BTW: The Canons (S30, S40, G2) use CF2 and can take an IBM Microdrive. The battery is a Lithium proprietary rechargable. The battery takes about an hour to charge fully. Another camera line to look at is the HP cameras. These are made as a joint venture with Pentax. I think the critical issue is to decide what features and price range. The URLs I posted have reviews and opinions. The TFT displays are all SLR, but the optical viewfinders in some, including the Canon, is not. Another issue is to look at zoom capability. Optical zoom is good, digital zoom is (IMHO) not. On 3 Jun 2002 at 11:01, John Abreau wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I need to buy a digital camera.

Heard on the Beeb this morning...
I took my time coming into work this morning because I was sick yesterday and still wasn't feeling all that great today. S, that afforded me the unusual luxury of listening to the BBC World Service News on WBUR(FM) starting at 0900 EDT. At about 0925 or so, they went to their financial reports and the lead story there was about how the German government is going to Linux and IBM, eschewing Microsoft. The reporter pronounced it correctly, made reference to the apps providers, detailed why the Germans are doing this (saving them LOTS of money, and giving them the ability to tailor their systems their way), etc. I haven't checked the Beeb's web site, so I don't know if an audio file of it is still available or not. But, I was very, very impressed at how the story was articulated so that John Q. Public could understand it. Bayard (NO, this is NOT necessarily my employer's point of view!!) --- Bayard R.

Re: Completely OT
I just bought the G2 last week. Although I have no experience with any other digicams, I've been studying and drooling for one for a long time. The things I like the most about it are : Swivel lcd. I already used it successfully at my kids school show by holding the camera way over my head and tilting the lcd down so I could see it. Also, can turn inwards for protection. 4MP. More than enough resolution for me. Makes for fantastic printouts on my canon printer. Fantastic battery. It has one of the longest run times of all cameras. Not too big, not too small. Reasonable lens. With a cheap 256M (~$95) compact flash, I can store about 250 high res pictures. Fairly quick performance. Reviewing pictures takes about 2 seconds each. Neat to view pictures from video out directly to big-screen tv. :) Video recording is fun. Not great quality, but usable. Good luck, -Tom I need to buy a digital camera.

I just noticed that the Mozilla 1.0 Release Party date coincides with the regularly scheduled Central LUG meeting (but I suppose that the 3-hour time difference is apropos). My last peek at the URL for the NH party mentioned on this list shows no one signed up still (earlier today). There's really no point to my message except to revive the subject. Will there be a Central LUG meeting this month? [Last month, only a couple of us lolled in the parking lot for a bit.)
