Is that a Bunn, Proctor-Silex or a Black and Decker. We'll need 
the model numbers and the kernel number. Oh, and are you certain 
they have water in them? This was a safeguard added to the 
coffee.o module in kernel 2.4.9. I have the URL for a backport 
somewhere here ... oh never mind, my wife used it to line the 
bird cage. It doesn't exist.

Did you file a bug report? I think that's a Gnome project.

You are on the right track but that goes in the 
/usr/bong/inetd.cfg file ... Kmail has no way to process the 
command. Although you could give it a .vbs extension and try 
Outlook. It'll run ANYTHING. That's a feature, folks.

There is a strong market for single sentence web sites ... you 
should do well with the correct marketing behind you. Contact me 
off-list for my list of fees and services in marketing you 
nationally. We can do this. We can make you a $$hundred-aire$$ 
just as we did for Morty Lefkowizxc

Send $50 for the loopendlessloopendlessloop script. Be the first 
coder on your block to have a finite length endless loop.

Install Win 95 inside VMware and use it as a visual basic script 
coffee timer (see #1).

Tech support ... you forgot that Linux has NO tech support while 
WIndows tech support is just a phone number (and 23 additional 
key presses) away from an automated dial-tone self-help system. 
Most likely you will get to the dial tone before you get to the 
tech support. It's a feature not found in ANY open source 
software. Microsoft ... innovation in tech-support ... "it's the 
'murkin' way!"

I hope this helped. <grin!>

respond: "Whatayanuts?"
... and reply to "selinux", instead.
