Re: Filezilla a security risk
My root credentials for my local machine aren't stored in plaintext. And if the local machine is compromised, the critical threat is its use as a zombie, not any info that's on it. There simply isn't any confidential data.

The information I can store in my systems are by far more important than the passwords for my FTP sites. In the end, it only affects the FTP credentials, nor databases, nor root accounts... because you aren't login as root for your FTP sessions, right? ;-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

So they don't need to get hundreds of separate messages?! Most people don't treat a digest as separate from a list, just an alternate subscription format. It's incumbent on those who own the technology to evolve digests so it's easier to reply to individual posts, not on readers to jump through hoops to reply. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Q: List Policy
François Cerbelle wrote: A list should *NEVER* alter the contents of a message and the reply-to field *DOES BELONGS TO THE CONTENTS* of the message. What happens if one of the subscribers does want to have a reply on a specific address ? It is its right and the ListMaster do not have to impose its own choice here. It's the right of the list-owner to set reply policy. If the list's policy is that replies must be to the list - as many owners of community-style lists require - the subscriber can either go along with it or go away. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

A little math indicates that you think there has been some huge upswing in white conversion to Judaism after World War II. The facts are to the contrary -- percentages are decreasing. Most white Jews can trace their heritage for at least 100 to 150 years, and often, much longer. Question: In the WTC they are over 2000 Jews are working.

Outlook does it this way not to be contrary, but for an obvious reason: it works better for the people who use it. If you're involved in a discussion, and you're tracking it all -- because if you don't you're fired -- you want to see the most up-to-date addition to the discussion, and for the 5% of the time you need reminding, you can scroll down. The immediate previous bit will probably remind you, and if not, the bit before that, etc. It's much more useful for that sort of discussion than bottom-posting.
