And when you need to delete an email from the middle of an huge
sequential file?

The bottom line is that sequential files are *bad* "huge data"
stores for everything except append-only log files.

Re: BUG: Epiphany and Evolution start in offline mode when I am online wireless

As for epiphany, you should turn off (using gconf-editor)
apps/epiphany/general/managed_network. I'm not sure, but I beleive it
was allready mentioned on the list( I saw it somewhere). It was
annoying for me to.

I do not use Evolution much,  but I can see
apps/evolution/shell/start_offline in gconf-editor.

Looks that Network Manager thinks you are offline unless interfaces
are in "roaming mode" and connected. That means that even if
interfaces are properly configured trough /etc/network/interfaces and
connected, NM thinks you are offline. There is bug #415891 reported as
I can see, and things are going to improve in newer versions of NM.

I didn't say it was optimal. I only said it was way better than
non-indexed mbox.

And then, of course, is the counter claim that maildir requires you many
more system calls for the basic operation of scanning a mailbox, which
is more common than modifying a mailbox.

That may be why searching a whole folder is so slow in Tbird &
courier-imapd.  Or maybe not.

But you confuse an OS (e.g. UNIX) on the one hand with hardware
(e.g. mainframe) on the other.  Sure, that used to be the case but now
you have zVM with hundreds (thousands?) of VMs each running the OS most
appropriate for the job, e.g. AIX, or Debian, zOS.  I agree that the OSs
have their focus and e.g. people would rather sit down to a bash prompt
than a whatever-it-is in VMS, MVS, zOS, etc.  

Perhaps mainframe types are the people who can think in acronyms and the
Unix types are the people who can think in conjoined words and
shortforms (e.g. umount, rm, mv).  

Perhaps its the virtuality of services since the virtual machine is

My remembrance of the mainframe *is* pretty old school: a 4381
running a couple of DOS/VSE/SP instances, and a few of us logging
into VM/CMS running REXX scripts connecting async modems to virtual
card readers.  And teaching me what an amazingly productive language
that COBOL is when used by experts.

Left speaker gets no sound but both earphones do

I'm using an Inspiron 1420 laptop. The sound is an Intel chipset. lspci says:

     00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio
     Controller (rev 02)

A while ago, perhaps during an upgrade, perhaps during a physical
accident, I lost sound on my left speaker. This had happened before
when for mysterious reason I managed to mute the left channel only.
This time, though, I looked around in alsamixer, and it doesn't look
like the left channel is muted. Furthermore, if I plug in the
headphones, I do get sound in both channels.

Is anyone else experiencing something similar? Please tell me that
this isn't a hardware problem. :-(
