It can login. It can create messages. It can create folders. It does all of this as the user that owns the account. That's perfect. But, if the INBOX doesn't exist (even though all the folders leading up to it do) it can't. That's silly. So now, when I create a new user account, instead [...]

There is no point in debating the creationist and evolutionist points of view on "creation" until evolutionists recognize ONE thing:
Let's say, for a moment, that the evolutionists ARE right. Let's say that, 18 bazillion years ago, the entire universe was a speck of dust that exploded in a massive ball of fire and fury, that [...]

Wow! After a lot of work, Exim is finally configured exactly how I want it to handle multiple domains. Well, not exactly. I haven't implemented the MySQL portions yet. However, I've written them, and I'm pretty sure they work. I decided that I wanted mail to be able to function with or without MySQL, with [...]

$res = add_two_numbers(15,27);
print $res;

At FREE DIVORCE we understand how expensive it can be to get a divorce,
but with our do-it-yourself divorce kit, we have taken away the time,
hassle and expense. It's fast [...]

Mike Gordon, basist for Phish, was caught in a secluded area after a Dead show with a 9-year old girl. He wasn't caught doing anything "bad", per se, but he there's really no reason for him to be in a private area at 1am with a 9-year old girl that isn't a friend or a [...]

My dad just called to invite me to have all-you-can-eat lobster with him and my mom this evening at 6:45pm. It's at a place called Le Port (which, in American, is pronounced "lee port"). Should be fun.
