...One cost being that you lose mouse support.  Whatever floats your
boat, I guess...

You don't need a mouse to use the conferences, but lynx for DOS does have
mouse support (optional).

message "illegal instruction:core dumped" while trying to send mail
in Pine.

People trying to compile big things which we don't allow on Grex.

response 189 of 293: Mark Unseen   Feb 10 17:17 UTC 2002

Which is not allowed: the big compiles, or the things themselves?

response 190 of 293: Mark Unseen   Feb 10 22:26 UTC 2002

The things themselves, so the perps try to bring over their own versions in
hope of getting around the "crippled" Grex versions.  Except that the Grex
versions are not actually crippled, it's the network side that's blocked.

OK.  I knew that there were some things not allowed, and properly blocked ;)
but your comments opened the possibility that large compiles, themselves, were
unwelcome.  (I've never written a really large program, so I don't really know
what troubles they would cause other users.)

The larger a single file, the larger the symbol table must be
to compile it.  Breaking the project into many files that are
careful about using static whenever possible would greatly
reduce the compilation load.

Earlier today I was having trouble logging in with backtalk.  Telnet 
worked fine ... It seems to be fixed now.

Dialing in tonight I got queue-droppings before I could log in.
Only one level deep, but that's just *wrong*.

Has anyone else been getting incessant chat requests from smart007
and if so can this account be cancelled?  (I will put this login
on my don't acceptlist now).
glenda
response 196 of 293: Mark Unseen   Feb 20 20:11 UTC 2002

Accounts are not cancelled on Grex.  It does no good with an open system. 
Another account can just be taken out and we are running out of usable UIDs.

response 197 of 293: Mark Unseen   Feb 20 21:00 UTC 2002

I can't imagine Grex cancelling an account because of annoying behavior!
None of us would be left except the last-standing staff member.

I don't see that there should even be a problem with smart007, since
you can block anyone from chat requests. 
keesan
response 199 of 293: Mark Unseen   Feb 20 23:35 UTC 2002

I did that, but first I had to waste time dealing with a chat request every
3 second for about 20 minutes while in themiddle of another chat.

It takes less than half a minute to add someone to your .nowrite file, 
and even less if you write a simple shell script to do it.

response 202 of 293: Mark Unseen   Feb 21 05:53 UTC 2002

You would not have had to waste 20 minutes if you had excused yourself
from that chat and taken care of the problem.

  She would not have to have done anything if an obnoxious user hadn't
  accosted her.  keesan is not the villain here..

To put this in absolutist perspective, the effort keesan put into 
complaining about this abuser is far beyond what would have been required 
for her to eliminate the problem he represented to her.
glenda
response 206 of 293: Mark Unseen   Feb 21 12:43 UTC 2002

Sindi, did you tell the person that you did not want to chat right now?  If
you did and s/he persisted than complaining is appropriate.  If you did not,
how is the person supposed to know?  Granted the requests should have stopped
after 2-4, but maybe the person is clueless to how it all works.
