The nearest thing Common Lisp has to a motto is the koan-like description, "the programmable programming language." While cryptic,that description gets at the root of the biggest advantage Common Lisp still has over other languages.
Ideas first introduced in Lisp include the if/then/else construct,recursive function calls, dynamic memory allocation, garbage collection,first-class functions, lexical closures, interactive programming, incremental compilation and dynamic typing.

Public Samba Share
I had a requirement to setup the samba share in a way that it does not
prompt for username and password. Some photos had to be shared across to
a wide group and I wanted to share the CD mounted on my system.
Google for setting up a "Public Samba Share", you will get lots of
discussions. This article finally helped.
Apart from your share configuration like:
Have these in the [global] section.
Which defines the account to use when authenticating guests. Don’t forget to create this user using
This will create the user with no password.
Now we have a perfectly valid Samba setup with a public share, but every time a user wants to access this share as a guest, he will have to do so by logging in as “nobody”. To complete our setup and imitate Windows behaviour, add the following line to the smb.conf global section:

RSS Feeder .NET

RSS Feeder
.NET.
The way I manage my mails is, I have two folders in OUTLOOK, one for
Internal and another for External.I download the mails to my
local system and read it offline at home also.
So, OUTLOOK is the software, I use major part of the day and have a
setup to work offline.
RSS Feeder .NET does both.

How do you manage multiple passwords?
Hi,
I have a question. How do people manage multiple passwords?
I for e.g, have same for many sites which I dont mind losing.
Different passwords for serious ones:
- Admin account for my office comp.
- Citibank account.
- Airtel bill payment.
- Different TPIN
- etc..
but many a times my passwords are within a group which I use.
My problem is, I often forget passwords if I employ a new one.
For e.g I forgot the Airtel site password again yesterday and did the forgot password thing ( this is the third time). I have lost citi TPIN as I have never used it.
What your ways of userid/password maintainence?
