Sure, Lotus Notes was great!
Well, aside from the fact that things like Agents and views were objects in the same database tables as the messages, which meant that any processing of messages had to be capable of also processing any agent that decided to appear...
Or the fact that Lotus Notes documents had limited sizes on their fields, including such problems as not allowing any more than a few KB of data without a line break or the entire message would crash the DB.
Or the fact that support of alternate character sets was late to appear, and very limited then. The number of times I had to base64 encode something because Notes couldn't process it... which meant running into field size and continuous character limits...
Oh! Almost forgot - the incredibly poor performance of processing in databases with tens of thousands of documents. I mean, simply listing the contents might take minutes for a DB located on the local box!
The encryption was weak as hell, unless you ran your own. .ID files were fucked up security problems waiting to happen
Plenty of folks have mentioned the GUI issues.

Sure, back in 1990, Notes and Domino had great features and decent performance. The problem was that they barely changed in the next 30 years, to the point I can sit at a Notes client from 1995 and still know where everything is - because it hasn't changed! Well, except to be ported into piss-poor Java...

I hate Lotus Notes. I HATE Lotus Notes.

Lotus Notes is a horrible piece of garbage, and after a decade of developing for it, I hate it with the passion of a thousand suns. Let it and its creators burn in hell, where they might feel a fractions of what the people forced to work with it had to go through.

"Regurgitate?" I'm the author of it, you fool. It is a parody of this wingnut idiocy — and, I dare say, a far classier than the original for it uses no namecalling to get its point across.

As so often happens, an Illiberal fails to recognize his own... Yep, somebody here is "mentally handicapped".

Not very original, are you?

Please, don't hate.

It is also a play on the Democrat's own sneer against the previous President: Somewhere in Texas a village is missing its idiot (bumper stickers still available).

Google "Jaundice", which can be a result of dumping too much blood into the kid.

That's the carp you hear from doctors who are unwilling to change the way they have always done things..
It's just that there is no study showing that. On the contrary. While there is no significant increase of jaundice, delayed clamping might lead to healthier babies a few months later and might give the baby a boost right after birth.

The effect of timing of cord clamping on neonatal venous hematocrit values and clinical outcome at term: a randomized, controlled trial.

Delayed Cord Clamping in Very Preterm Infants Reduces the Incidence of Intraventricular Hemorrhage and Late-Onset Sepsis: A Randomized, Controlled Trial

Late vs Early Clamping of the Umbilical Cord in Full-term Neonates

My suggestion:
read up on delayed cord clamping (decent sources, like parent-to-be-books from your local library written by MDs and maybe medical journals) and include it in your birth plan. With the money saved from cord blood banking buy something like this binary Infant Bodysuit

you state that as though it's common knowledge he's running around with his pants on his head. Please give us more to go on.

Mitt Romney: Another Crazy Republican Gear

The 'Crazy', 'Extremist' Republican Party Is About To Nominate a Massachusetts Moderate

Are the Republican candidates all crazy?

My favorite quote from that article:

A leading Republican, who was in Congress for more than 10 years, answered my question: "Who can beat Obama?" with a casual, "a mammal". Then he added sadly: "But they are all reptiles."

You could spend a lot of your evening looking at all the crazy Republicans. Normally I don't like to lump by party, but this year there's clearly something in the Republicans' water glasses at the debates.

What's the matter, Have you forgotten Sep. 11 2001?

Actually, you'd probably be better off complaining to the elected members of the BART Board of Directors. I don't know who Molly Burke is, but SF's three BART directors are: Lynette Sweet, James Fang, and Tom Radulovich. Of the three, the first two are jokes better left ignored. Sweet is trying to use BART as a stepping stone to higher public office. Fang is, what? The only republican left in San Francisco? He's the guy who sees BART as a way to bring pork to SF. That leaves us with Radulovich, whose district actually encompasses Civic Center station. He's also the only director to have the balls to call out BART for making atrocious decisions, and the only one with some sort of interest in transit (beyond BART as a political platform). You wanna write to someone and get some sympathy, write to him. You wanna write to someone who will pander to whatever they think the constituents wanna hear, write to the latter.

And that's the problem with BART. This wasn't one rogue employee making a bad call, this is a structural problem.

In any case time for some shameless self-promotion: Let's take this thing as seriously or not as is deserved. Cheap shots aimed at BART available in thongs, onesies, iPad cases, and, of course, t-shirts and hoodies. Someone (aside from the EFF) had to go there.

Would he be allowed to sell a t-shirt similar to this one?

Laughing at someone is not a sign of fear.

Laughing? I think not:

Abort Sarah Palin bumper sticker.

So, why are leftists so AFRAID of Sarah Palin, anyway?

Besides, we're all finding out the hard way that the laughinstock of 2008 was good old Hopenchange himself.

Troops out of Iraq yet? Nope. In fact, we're now doing a SURGE in Afghanistan, and it's even led by one General Betray-Us. (Ever hear that name before?)

Illegal wiretops stopped? Hardly.

Gitmo closed? No way.

Bush tax cuts repealed? Hell no. They were EXTENDED - by a Democratic House (lame duck session was controlled by Dems), a Democratic Senate, and signed by a Democratic President.

"Change" my ass. Obama has endorsed and extended every significant policy of George W. Bush.

The fact that probably makes your head explode amuses me to no end.

The amazing thing is how many of us actually get the reference.

The best part is that somebody actually made a shirt.

Actually I believe it was first popular as Spanish slang

It's quite simple. In their efforts to "compete" with cable news to be first to the story, they slashed real investigative reporting, fact checking, and depth in their coverage.

They are guilty of dereliction of their duty to inform our democracy. They did not leverage their major advantage over cable news: freedom from constraints to 15 minute time slots.

They began publishing corporate and government press releases unquestioned.

They stopped digging deep into issues which really matter to the nation, uncovering actual political corruption or travesties of the political process (the daily show is the only one which seems to do this now).

Gone are the days where they stood up to governments and corporations for the right of the people to be informed. When was the last time you heard of a case like time magazine's pentagon papers?

"You write what you're told! Thanks Corporate News!"

Some things won't go away just by making them illegal. Some women will decide (perhaps against all advice of their family and church) to terminate... and when they do, they need access to safe medical care, not preaching, social damnation, and horrible injuries. If self-inflicted or unlawful medical procedures are all that's available, then that's what these women will use.

This is truly different nuclear energy LPP is working towards. Good luck to them - to all of us.

An important facet of LPP's research is that they are pursuing aneutronic fusion. This is truly clean nuclear energy. Explained well here. and here. Nuclear Power without Nuclear Waste: It's Closer Than You Think

Nuclear fusion has the potential to generate power without the radioactive waste of nuclear fission, but that depends on which atoms you decide to fuse. Conventional fusion approaches work with deuterium and tritium, while focus fusion works with hydrogen and boron. When a boron-11 atom fuses with a hydrogen atom the result is three helium atoms and energy, but no radioactive waste. This is because: the fuel (boron and hydrogen) is not radioactive, the reaction product (helium) is not radioactive, and the reaction releases no neutrons (it's "aneutronic").

I think everyone here needs a shirt for the occasion! Digital TV Transition Day T-Shirts at http://www.cafepress.com/dtvtransition

You're right - I never saw a "Not My President" sticker in the last 8 years. I never saw an offensive slogan about "end of an error - 1/20/2009" and I never saw any childish bumperstickers comparing the US President's last name with female genitalia. The Democrats of the past 8 year were such good losers.

Oh wait

Please, make a mental tally how many times you'll see these offensive things in the next 4 years. Also, keep in mind, how many times it will be called racism if you don't support President-Elect Obama.

So I proudly put on a vote Libertarian t-shirt, this morning and wore it all day. I went straight to the polls right after work, the parking lot was crowded, but I only had a 20 minute wait at the polls. Several of the poll workers and others, whom are there to vote, make comments that they like my shirt. I get my ticket from the poll worker, strangely after showing no identification other than my voter registration card made from flimsy yellow poster-board. This is not my first time voting, I always remember having to show at least one additional form of ID.

After I get my ticket, I go stand in line, maybe 15 people in front of me. A poll worker comes up to me, stares blankly at my shirt for at least a minute without saying anything. So I am thinking she must be amused by my shirt, I just stand there waiting for her to say something with this shit-eating grin on my face. Finally, she says, "Sir, I am going to have to ask you to remove your shirt, or turn it inside-out." To which I reply, "I don't think so. Why, would I turn my shirt inside out?" She retorts, "Because it is political." Baffled, I say, "So what, isn't that why we are here?" She says, "Sir, please leave your ticket with a poll worker, go outside, and put on another shirt, or turn your shirt inside-out." I went back and forth with her for a few minutes on this, trying to get more than "it is political" out of her. At one point, I said, "Do I not have a civil right to freely express myself with a corny t-shirt, protected under the First Amendment?" Poll worker would not dignify that question with a response other than rolling her eyes.

After five minutes of this, I give up. I walk up to one of poll workers, hand them my ticket, walk outside and turn my shirt inside-out. I walk back in, grab my ticket and get back in line. At this time, a very cute 18-20 yr. old blonde, turns to me. She, the cute blonde, grins and says, "You know, I can still read it." Which really makes me laugh about this whole situation that was a bit embarrassing.

About 5 minutes later, I go up to vote, hand another poll worker my ticket. This woman, the poll worker at the voting booth, looked like a grizzled old lunchlady. She had fresh stitches in her face, and old monochrome blue-ink tattoos up her arms. In other words, it is probably not a woman you want to mess with. So she is politely showing me how to use this new-fangled electronic voting booth, as I told her, I had only voted with a paper ballot in the past. After she is finished, she laughs and says, "Sorry about your shirt."

I was aware that campaigning outside or near polling places was not legal, otherwise known as electioneering. However, I had never heard of the terms "passive electioneering" for wearing political pins or clothing items, that is until I went home and found it by Google. Is this, in fact, legal in many states? Is this not unconstitutional to deny someone their right to vote for a corny t-shirt. At first, I almost thought the poll worker was going to tell me to cover up my t-shirt, because it said "Libertarian".

Did anyone else have any similar embarrassing or humorous stories from the polls?
