I want to bridge between the wireless and canle sides of J-Net and, eventually, set up a vpn between J-Net and P-Net, but, hey, one step at a time :) Slave is currently cabled to J-Net. Cheers J

I think under US legal system damages can only be awarded if proper notice of the patent was given. Notice is given by the patent owner by marking the patented product with the designation "patented," or the abbreviation "pat.," followed by the patent number. Such notice should be applied to the patented article or articles made by a patented process. The patent number would have to be included with every file of code they ever produced. Also since software patends are a fairly new thing they can not back date their claims to the beginning of Windows or even Linux. Furthermore it would be very hard to prove if Microsoft experienced any financial loss directly caused buy the patend infringements. Than again stranger things happened. I have been selling on line for a long time. A few years ago Some American company started accusing people selling on line of patend infringements. Apparently they owned a patend for online sales and everybody who sells using that method will have to pay royalties. When they contacted me I simply told them to f**k off but I heard that some gullible folk got conned into paying thousands of $. The main problem here is the patent office. Some years ago here in Australia some guy in Melbourne tested the idiotic system and applied for patent for a "wheel". The patent has been granted. -- Regards, George Osvald OK Studio ® http://www.okstudio.com.au Email: mail(a)okstudio.com.au -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Actually, after googling, i typed the following: sudo chmod 0700 /home/daniel with a short test the new user cannot see anything of my home anymore. But of course, I am not sure if this was intelligent, because of the answers here that are much more complex... It is a laptop and a desktop. On both only one user 1000 daniel existed. On the laptop I made a new one with Yast which is 1001. I guess, the problem is solved that way. If not *please* correct me.

re: proof reading

by Thom Nuzum

Well it doesn't bother me. Ive translated German/English/Finnish and will always get a native speaker to run through it afterwards to check grammar and fluedity. The new SuSe manuels are well written and the missed translations appear only on the "see diagram-type" headings which seems like computer error. Stickers anyone? or are we not cute anymore: lean and mean I guess. On a more serious note: for some reason I get an error when trying to reply to address in Kmail Bernt
