Well I logged into my email server via telnet on port 587, but when I tried to send a test email to my gmail, it tried to send it via port 25. If I use a different port, won't sending email to places like Gmail, yahoo mail, AOL mail (lol), etc... fail? And what about inbound email, it won't work, either, then?

You just need to change your config, and tell whatever program you are using to use a different port. I did it on my old server.

I don't think that's possible?

DERP.

When your thread is dying, and you need to breathe a little life back into it, there's always DERP™.

EDIT: Wow, I just noticed the stark contrast between this post and the above technical discussion… O_o

Well... call me weird (go ahead, you know you want to), but it does seem to fit right in with the thread title.

Talking

Okay, my favorite joke (the one I remember): Skeleton walks into a bar. What 2 things does he ask for? . . . a beer and a mop!

This thread is lacking brain teasers, I'll fix that!

Hats On A Death Row

You are one of 20 prisoners on death row with the execution date set for tomorrow. Your king is a ruthless man who likes to toy with his people's miseries. He comes to your cell today and tells you:
“I’m gonna give you prisoners a chance to go free tomorrow. You will all stand in a row (queue) before the executioner and we will put a hat on your head, either a red or a black one. Of course you will not be able to see the color of your own hat; you will only be able to see the prisoners in front of you with their hats on; you will not be allowed to look back or communicate together in any way (talking, touching.....).

The prisoner in the back will be able to see the 19 prisoners in front of him. The one in front of him will be able to see 18…

Starting with the last person in the row, the one who can see everybody in front of him, he will be asked a simple question: WHAT IS THE COLOR OF YOUR HAT?

He will be only allowed to answer “BLACK” or “RED”. If he says anything else you will ALL be executed immediately.

If he guesses the right color of the hat on his head he is set free, otherwise he is put to death. And we move on to the one in front of him and ask him the same question and so on…

Well, good luck tomorrow, HA HA HA HA HA HA!”


Now since you all can communicate freely during the night, can you find a way to guarantee the freedom of some prisoners tomorrow? How many?
Post your solutions

This is my guess. I could be wrong because there is no mention in the number of red and black hats.

Assuming there are ten red hats and ten black hats. The 19th prisoner waits for the answer of the 20th prisoner. If the 20th prisoner says red and is correct and the 19th prisoner sees 9 reds in front of him, that counts 9 reds plus the correct answer from the 20th prisoner which equal 10 red hats. That means the 19th prisoner is wearing black.

I was going to post an answer similar to that. It's really just logic and common sense really....
