Or you could install by hand from the archive. It's not so hard, but you

I connected my PC directly to the RoadRunner cable modem, bypassing our
LAN router.  Then IPConfig all showed actual IP addresses for
RoadRunner's DNSs.

According to TraceRoute, the RoadRunner DNSs are more than 16 hops from
my PC.  I also have a dial-up account at a regional ISP.  Using IPConfig
all again but through that other ISP, TraceRoute showed its DNSs are
only 6 hops from my PC.

All this might partially explain why my RoadRunner connection sometimes
seems very sluggish.  Although the RoadRunner connection is supposed to
be broadband, it sometimes is slower than dial-up.

This is no longer a SeaMonkey issue unless someone knows how to use
SeaMonkey to find what DNS was used.  In the meantime, this thread is
not on-topic.

Note that I have the ShowIP 0.8.19 extension from
http://code.google.com/p/firefox-showip/.  However, this only shows
the IP address of the target Web page, not the DNS used to get that IP
address.



David, I think you'll find DNS Benchmark by Steve Gibson (creator of SpinRite
and head of Gibson Research Corp.) valuable.  The program can be found here:
http://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm.  I used the utility to switch
my DNS servers from Verizon's to faster, more secure servers that didn't
redirect certain web page errors to Verizon ad pages.  I've seen a noticeable
improvement in browser response time between pages since making the change.

DNS Benchmark is a small, standalone utility without the need for traditional
installation--simply copy the exe to a designated folder and run from there.
For such a compact utility, it has many advanced features, so be sure to read
the instructions and operation tips thoroughly for a clear understanding of
your results.

Because that UI part has been implemented past SM 2.0. It will be in 
Preferences in SM 2.1, as I wrote.

Because Help is text, and text needs to be written, and only so many 
(~4) people do that--in addition to contributing code or translations, 
in their free time, after many hours working on their day jobs.



As it is, using the Preferences
seems to result in two behaviors:

For SM 2.0 Preferences, yes.


And it's been like this, I believe, ever since I got SM 2.


SM 2.0 only receives security updates, that's why (the only exceptions 
are very safe/simple fixes and Help changes that do not introduce new 
source files, but for the latter, see above). New features are generally 
excluded (exceptions prove the rule, of course).

(hint: use whois for finding the actual IP addresses of those)

Then plug those into namebench:

for testing.

Here's a partial workaround:

1) In the preferences, choose Mail  Newsgroups | Network  Storage and 
set the preference for Send unsent messages when going online to Yes.


2) Queue your messages.

3) Terminate SeaMonkey.

4) Using the Windows scheduler utility, set SeaMonkey to launch at the 
desired date/time. On launch, the program should send unsent messages 
without prompting.


The downside, of course, is that SM is not running until the scheduled 
time, so you'll be without email and Internet access for that time.


Note also that the date/time stamp on your messages will be the 
date/time you queued them, not the date/time they were sent.

Been there, done that.

It is apparently included in a testing or unstable version of Debian 
Linux, yet to be released as stable.


Not available at present, and no Debian person appears inclined to do 
it, for Debian 5.


Some software is available as .deb packages, set up by the software 
developers of the particular software. Opera is one (and, only one) 
example, of many applications that are released in the different 
packages, for installation using the system package management, for the 
different Linux distributions.


It is a question of for whom software is written - whether it is written 
for the users (in which case, amongst other things, it is provided in 
the different packages, for the different distributions), or, whether it 
is written for the developers of the software (in which case, the design 
(including the interface) is designed to suit the developers, and the 
software might be released only as binaries, to make it difficult for 
users to install, restricting who may use the software).


So, the question is, are developers of an operating system, expected to 
adapt software packages that may run on their syetem, to be easily 
installed on their system, or, are the software developers expected to 
develop their software to be able to be installed with a minimum of 
fuss (and, thus, as packages that can be easily installed using the 
operating system package management), on the operating systems on which 
the software is said to be able to run?


I expect that software developers who want to increase the usage of 
their particular software, would act to make their software as easy to 
instal and run, on the particular operating systems for which they 
profess the software to be usable and compatible, so as to encourage 
more propsective users, to instal and use the software.


It is a bit like some software houses, that provide software that only 
runs on MS Windows, such as Legacy genealogy software, Quicken 
accounting software, etc - they have previously advised that they have 
no intention of porting their software to Linux, and, by so doing, 
disenfranchise Linux users (unless the particular Linux users are 
willing and capable, to mess around with MS Windows emulation, if the 
particular software applications are compatible with Linux based MS 
Windows emulators).


Thus, it includes the issue of the degree to which the software 
development projects want to increase usage of their product.


If they want to increase usage of the product, then they act to make it 
as easy to instal and use, on as many operating systems, as possible.


If not, they simply develop the policy we have developed this product 
for our benefit - take it or leave it, as it is - we are not interested 
in making it more usable, or more user-friendly - we are not that 
bothered, as long as it suits us, which is the apparent known history 
of Microsoft.


And, it is not limited to Microsoft - many web sites exist, that are 
designed to work only with Internet Explorer, and, many computer 
peripheral devices, whether they be webcms, printers, or whatever, are 
designed to work fully with MS Windows, and, not at all, or, with 
limited funtionality, with Linux. Some companies do well with their 
hardware devices, Like Samsung, with its printers and multifunction 
devices, that run well with Linux, using the Samsung Unified Linux 
Driver, and, others simply treat Linux users with contempt.


Or you could install by hand from the archive. It's not so hard, but you 
may lack dependencies if you really are on Debian etch:

(http://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/2.0/system-requirements)
The following distributions should provide everything needed:
* Debian Lenny (5.0.x) (or later)



I am using Debian lenny, which is the current Debian stable version. 
etch is now oldstable and obsolete.


I use the version of Iceape for etch which is, I believe, Debian 4, 
as that is the latest version of Iceape or a Seamonkey version, that is 
available to run on mys system, and, as previously mentioned, that 
version of Iceape is about 4 years old.


Installing the binary, or whatever the tar/zip or whatever files is, is, 
from my experience, messy and difficult, and I had done that in the 
past, with a netscape or mozilla browser suite, and ended up having to 
instal, seven dfirectories down.


The process is best described as a Kafkaesque nightmare, and, it is 
probably easier to make friends with a cthulu, or the creature that 
Gandalf was fighting, when he fell off the bridge.


(BTW, why choose Debian if you want a cutting edge and easy to manage 
distribution?)




It has been my experience, that, for the most part, Debian has been a 
more stable system than some others, and,

Ah, but it is not available as a .deb package.


Ask Debian/ubuntu or whoever you are using it from for help, or use our 
official .tar.bz2 packages, or use a decent distro that does packages for our 
software (like openSUSE). We are not doing any distro-specific packaging, 
that's the job or distros after all.

I understood that SUSE is now owned by Microsoft, and is thence, likely 
to follow Microsoft policies and procedures.


As for the rest of the message, I have already addressed those issues, 
in a previous posting just sent by me to the list.

Image blocking in SM 2.0.10

2010-12-10 Thread HenriK
For reasons that I can not sort out, images are being blocked in SM 
2.0.10 used with my 933 mHz Dell 4100 using Windows XP-Home SP3 and 
Avast! security software.


Specifically, the background maps when I go to Mapquest won't appear at 
all and images on e-Bay often appear for a second or two and then 
disappear.  In both cases, SM is set to allow images from these two 
sites.  Text displays correctly.  Turning off Avast! doesn't fix the 
problem either.


Could this problem be caused by an SM Add-On or is it more likely to be 
a preference setting that I don't know about?


Any help and/or suggestions will be gratefully received.

Mapquest requires you to set your preference to allow images from all
domains, not only from Mapquest.
