What I'd like to know is (if it's even possible) for http://www.netaddress.usa.net to be cracked by email.

I'm doing some inquiries about cd�s composition. As far as I know cds are made of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), H~2C=CHCl, they also do have a layer of aluminiom and lacquer. I need to know what other materials the cds are made of. Information regarding proportion between materials would be useful. A drawing with the layers would be convenient . If any person could give me a clue ( a web site could be useful or any other mail list where this topic is discussed ) I'll be grateful . Thanks.

It should enable us to use HOTMAIL or YAHOO accounts as POP3-mail accounts. I use Outlook Express, it dials up, but is not able to connect to the server hotmail.cwebmail.com nor yahoo.cwebmail.com.

Creating PDF Files from TeX If you've created an Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) file from a TeX document, you may have been disappointed with the results - by default, most versions of TeX produce PostScript files with embedded bitmapped fonts. Although Adobe's Acrobat Distiller can convert these PostScript files into PDF, the resolution-specific bitmapped fonts create a PDF file that looks displays poorly and renders slowly on screen. To create a PostScript file from TeX that can be converted into an optimal PDF file, you need to create a PostScript file that uses scalable Type 1 fonts rather than resolution-specific bitmapped fonts. Using Type 1 fonts with TeX is easy if you have the original TeX source or DVI file. For instructions on configuring Tomas Rokicki's popular DVIPS program to use Type 1 fonts, see "Configuring DVIPS to Use Type 1 Fonts," below. The situation is more difficult if your only electronic version of a document is a PostScript file that already contains embedded bitmapped fonts. PostScript files created by DVIPS are particularly problematic since the code for the embedded fonts is interspersed throughout the file as each new character is typeset. To further complicate the situation the names of the original fonts have been replaced by arbitrary identifiers. The FixFont utility attempts to solve this problem by removing the embedded bitmapped fonts from the PostScript file and creating a new PostScript file that can be used with scalable, Type 1 outline fonts. Configuring DVIPS to Use Type 1 Fonts When you have the original TeX source or DVI file the easiest and most reliable way to create a portable PostScript file is to configure your DVI to PostScript driver to use Type 1 versions of the Computer Modern fonts. The following Technical Note describes how to configure Tomas Rokicki's DVIPS to create a PostScript file that uses Type 1 outline fonts. Creating Quality Adobe PDF Files from TeX with DVIPS Adobe FaxYI Document Number: 131303 Update 96 JUN 27: The recent demise of the CTAN Web interface at http://jasper.ora.com/CTAN/tex-archive/ renders the URLs to this site included in this Technical Note invalid. All the software listed is still available through the mirrored ftp sites that participate in the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network. A list of these sites is currently available at http://www.cdrom.com/pub/tex/ctan/CTAN.sites Although the location of the top of the TeX archive varies according to site, the file structure is consistent within the archive. To locate a specific CTAN resource mentioned in the Technical Note, replace http://jasper.ora.com/CTAN/tex-archive/ in the URL with ftp:// followed by the host name and path to the initial directory for that site's TeX archive.

[snip] Excerpt from their web site: http://www.cwebmail.com/ How POP3 Access to Free Web Mail works: When you log into Free Web Mail at www.Hotmail.com or mail.yahoo.com, you are on-line and connected to the Internet the whole time you are reading and composing email. C-WebMail for Free Web Mail POP3 Access allows you to download messages to your computer using a commercially available Email package that supports the Post Office Protocol (POP3) e.g. - Netscape, Eudora, MS Outlook Express etc. . After you have sent or received messages, you can terminate the Internet connection. This lets you read and compose messages while off-line. You only need to connect to the Internet when receiving or sending new messages. To take advantage of this service, you must have a POP3 compliant piece of email software. Fortunately, a POP3 email application is typically integrated into your web browser so you probably have the email software you need. Popular software packages that can be used with POP3 Access to Hotmail� or Yahoo Mail� include: Microsoft (Outlook, Outlook Express), Netscape (Mail, Communicator), and Qualcomm (Eudora Light, Eudora Pro). [snip] The settings are supposed to be: Hotmail POP -- pop.hotmail.cwebmail.com Hotmail SMTP -- smtp.hotmail.cwebmail.com Yahoo POP -- pop.yahoo.cwebmail.com Yahoo SMTP -- smtp.yahoo.cwebmail.com -- Gerry Boyd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 May 1999 11:40:24 -0700 From: "Gerald E.

My email client (Pegasus Mail) was configured just fine for USA.NET. The problem is that now they want the LONG GREEN before they'll let you access it in that manner. The only FREE way to get USA.NET mail now is via browser. My machine at home is (temporarily) a 386DX/40, which makes browser-based mail SLOOOOOOOW. I tried to get the last of my son's email on May 2 before the blocking went into place, but I was too late. There were only about a dozen messages online, but it still took me over an hour to get each one forwarded to his newer free POP3 account (my brother works for an ISP and he set up a mailbox for my son) and deleted from USA.NET. What I'd like to see (if it can be done) is for someone to set up one of those long convoluted strings to send to a wwwmail server and just grab the mail.
