I'm not representing People&Computers, but want to note anyway: 1. Nadav: as a lecturer, you really don't have to register, and nobody will refuse to let you in (I'll register you when I'll have time). 2. You asked if somebody else succeeded to register: well, there are some dozens of thousands of people who already registered to that site (of course not to this specific event, but after you have a number, it takes you a few seconds to register to any event). So I guess that their site expects IE (but it's only a speculation). While it may look funny that you can't use Linux to register to a Linux event, I think that organizing such a conference, is a big step in the right direction, and we should not flame anybody here, contrary to what we are doing in other cases. (P.S. before sending the e-mail, I see (from newer messages) that maybe there is a specific problem with this event; If this is the case, then please forget #2). 3. Please don't flame the requirement of your ID; As many others, they suffer from a severe duplication problem, and their mailing list (more than 100,000) contained many duplications. They tried anything they could, but finally got to the (right) conclusion that the only way to avoid million or more records, plus holding obsolete details of people who their updated details created new records, is by using the ID as a unique key. -- Eli Marmor [EMAIL PROTECTED] CTO, Founder Netmask (El-Mar) Internet Technologies Ltd. __________________________________________________________ Tel.: +972-9-766-1020 8 Yad-Harutzim St. Fax.: +972-9-766-1314 P.O.B. 7004 Mobile: +972-50-23-7338 Kfar-Saba 44641, Israel ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
