Re: [SLUG] Meaning of Nonsense in s p a m
I am not sure about the garbage that appears in subjects and in the middile of some spams but I am fairly sure the html tags in the middle of words are an attempt to obfuscate the true content of the spam from simple text filtering spam filters. The other stuff is probably the same. I think spamassassin attempts to look past this.

RE: [SLUG] Problem
It sounds like a power issue to me. I have a couple of firewire cases, one of which is a Seagate 80gig 7200rpm inside of an icecube firewire enclosure- which refuses to work from the power on the firewire port, and thus means that I have to cart a power supply around with me when I use this drive. My other firewire drive is one of the early 20 gig firewire enclosures (can't remember the brand)... though this one is more than happy to run from the power supplied by the firewire port... unless it's plugged into a laptop.

Maybe you make a another reiserfs on a another similarly sized file system, and dd the the first block of that onto your destroyed filesystem, then try a reiserfsck on the result. (clutching at straw here though, I don't know how much info reiser puts in the first block) Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Re: [SLUG] OT trayless CDROM Drive
Phil Scarratt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> uttered the following thing: > There are tray cdrom's around that can be vertically mounted. I know > Acer uses that type, and probably Dell.

I was under the impression that most modern CDROMs can be mounted vertically. Look on the tray for little flanges on the outer rim where the disc sits - these flanges (normally four around the tray) hold the CD in. As another poster mentioned though - Pioneer make the slot loading drives..I've got one that i've had for years and it still runs flawlessly. Sexier than a tray :) A swap is probably not practical though - my location is somewhat out of the way. -- Ben Buxton - Random Network Person -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
[SLUG] Problem
Sorry this is off topic but I thought someone may be able to help. I have an external firewire case with an 80gb 7200rpm drive - my prob is I can run 20, 40 and 60gig 5400rpm drives no problem, but when I stick a 40, 60 or 80gb 7200rpm drive in the damn thing works sometimes if at all, I have tried numerous cables, other drives, operating systems, platforms etc but I still get the same problem. There is nothing wrong with the physical drives as they are all brand new Seagates. I have tried contacting the boofheads who supplied me the case and the manufacturer but there not much help and they give me the runaround. I thought someone on the list might have an idea.
