[H] Yahoo Mail
Has anybody tried the new Yahoo Mail? My main box is down because I upgraded the mobo and all it does is beep 5 times and this box doesn't have Thunderbird set up on it. I really like the new interface. It's not at all kludgy like the old one and everything is easy to find and figure out. Not bad for a web app.

ATT has had us on it for a while now. It's OK for web-based mail as long as you use Ad Block Plus. :) I was pissed beyond belief when they added adverts last year. I called and complained, and pointed out that I was a paying customer since they are my ISP, but they didn't care. When at home, I always use local email programs, not web-based, but the web-based version is OK for checking email when at work or traveling. -- JRS stei...@pacbell.net Facts do not cease to exist just because they are ignored. - Original Message From: Stan Zaske swza...@yahoo.com To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Sent: Tuesday, October 6, 2009 8:15:16 AM Subject: [H] Yahoo Mail Has anybody tried the new Yahoo Mail?

Re: [H] Yahoo Mail
I've just recently been using ad blocking at the router level which makes it really nice for any machines on the LAN. You don't have to set anything now or run any special plugins or apps. I built a little embedded 4 port box running clarkconnect (turnkey firewall linux distro) It handles QOS very well and with the better CPU (600MHz Pentium-M celery vs 219 MHz Arm in the old DDWRT router) I can run more filters and apps on it without bogging it down. I was planning to use smoothwall but opted for clarkconnect since it had an embedded webserver (LAMP) setup. lopaka From: JRS stei...@pacbell.net To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Sent: Tuesday, October 6, 2009 9:02:54 AM Subject: Re: [H] Yahoo Mail ATT has had us on it for a while now.

Re: [H] Yahoo Mail
That's a pretty neat setup you have there Robert. What are you using to get 4 ports on that old PC?

Compact and low power consumption. Nice!

It came with a vga and usb adapter cables for initial setup, then once ready has nothing external but 4 LAN and 1 serial port). I might dremel a couple small openings to put 2 usb ports in case I end up adding any external storage to it. I've got a gig of ram in it also :) lopaka http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=390084729145ssPageName=ADME:B:WNARL:US:1123 From: Stan Zaske swza...@yahoo.com To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Sent: Tuesday, October 6, 2009 9:43:46 AM Subject: Re: [H] Yahoo Mail That's a pretty neat setup you have there Robert.

[H] Accessing Linux partition
I have a hard drive that has an EXT3 partition on it. I have mounted it using Ext2Fsd, and I can see the drive, but some of the folders have colons in their names: Name:11 Name:12 etc. So Windows won't let me navigate to them or rename them. Any idea how I can access the files inside? T
Re: [H] Accessing Linux partition
Thane, Can I believe that you are using the wins driver Ext2IFS_1_11a.exe? I read about this tangentially due to my NAS' Ext3 default format via its' debian-based OS. http://www.fs-driver.org/index.html Best, Duncan Thane Sherrington wrote: I have a hard drive that has an EXT3 partition on it.

[H] XP problem.
I am looking at a frined's pc that has XP (home I think). When it boots up to the screen where you would normally see the users, there are no users on the screen (there are at least two on this pc). I can do a double CTRL-ALT-DEL and it brings up the login prompt with a user name (but of course she does not know the password for that user). So I load up UBCD4Win and its password recovery tool does not seem to locate any users in the SAM either. Anyone know what might be going on? I have permission to nuke and pave, but I'd like to recover if possible. Thanks, Bobby
