Aethera 1.0
gatch writes "theKompany.com released version 1.0 of their cross-platform PIM suite Aethera. KOrganizer is included as a calendar and todo list component. Check out these screenshots. According to Shawn Gordon, theKompany president, 'Actually we are about 2 weeks away from having Aethera work with Kolab [groupware server] - at least that is our sense of it at the moment.' Interesting discussion at KDE.news."
be happy. :-)
first post!
Krone der Schopfung:
Es gibt soviel zu seh'n
Du willst alles versteh'n
Du stellst deine Fragen
Alles ist fur dich neu
Fragst weshalb und warum
Doch hier bleibt jeder stumm
Was soll man schon sagen
auf deine Fragen
Unschuldig und ehrlich
und dennoch gefahrlich
Denn eines Tages
weiBt auch du wer du bist
Dann spielst du vergebens
im Spiel des Lebens
um ein paar Punkte mehr
um einen besseren Platz
Du bist gebor'n
Du bist verlor'n
in diesem Sog
der Leben heiBt
Du wirst werden wie ich
wie er oder der
Doch was immer du wirst
es andert nichts mehr
Es ist die Zeit die dir bleibt
die dich weitertreibt
Du bist auf dem Weg aus dem
Nichts in die Ewigkeit
Es ist das Leid das du siehst
das dich verwirrt
auf deinem Weg
Krone der Schopfung
Bald wirst du sein
wie wir alle sind
Du bist auf dem Weg
Du bist rein
Du bist ein Kind
Doch du wirst alt
Du wirst kalt
und nicht versteh'n
warum du lebst
Krone der Schopfung
Scheuklappen auf
Stur geradeaus
Such dir einen Partner
und finde dein Gluck
Steck dir selber ein Ziel
Bleib als letzter im Spiel
Einen Meter nach vorn
und wieder zwei zuruck
Wer kennt die Werte
Wo ist der Gelehrte
Wo ist die Macht
die uns in Schranken weist
Ja das Leben ist schnell
ist individuell
Wer weiB worum es geht
warum die Welt sich dreht

thats right, mods: mod me down -1 offtopic... SEE IF I CARE muhahahah
Another long year GNOME user switched his father and himself to KDE read here.
The webserver has already disappeared into the ether
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe

Woah, is this a bug in the slashcode? Why is my parent appearing above parents that were submitted before it? Curious...
You know, I talk about the state of software with a large number of companies.
...the rest of the presentation, I hope to have up for download soon. I am working out the kinks with the audio make overs for the slide show, but hope to have it all done soon.
All of them clueless, specifically, about what is about to happen to the IT industry/software industry world wide due to the open source movement.
The biggest losers? US and Europe?
Why is that? Continue reading to find out why China is the next 21st century super power, and the US and Europe will be side players for the most part in the later half of this century.
At the moment I give open office presentations, if I can get an audience, to companies and hope to have a multimedia version of it built so you can download it at my website: http://www.aesgi.com
But, here are some of the things I point out:
1) The computing industry, historically required companies and corporations of individuals, so that capital could be organized along with labor to produce software.
This was due to the fact it was incredibly expensive to obtain hardware, and software was a real bitch to build.
You HAD to have a corporate entity, or government backing to build software.
2) As our industry has evolved, hardware has become extremely cheap and powerful...through competition. Software Engineering has allowed tools to progress that enable extremly sophisticated views of the software process to become possible.
This is because hardware has become SO powerful, that and individual now can now rely on whole "environments" to make very smart decisions in constructing software, or at the very least, inquire about contributions to said software from a colleague.
3) The internet has eliminated the need for corporations/institutions to build high quality/very complex software. For very little cost, organizational units that are far superior to what can be bought can be assembled at very little cost using the internet.
Intellectual capital using this method of organization and procurement is superior to what any single corporation can purchase.
4) The corporate mantra/dogma of build software, release software for sale, then add features, then sell, then add features then sell again, is dieing.
Users don't want more features for often than not, when they only use 10% of a program's feature set anyway.
If all you do is write software, and all your revenues come from only sale of that software your business will start to die very soon.
Whole countries are rebelling, due to the fact that software costs are increasing, not because they have to, but because of Western political interests which seek to lock the market up with unfair laws, and to maintain the status quo.
5) Intellectual Property and Copyright law is about to undergo a MAJOR shift.
American companies are enacting Digital Copyright protection mechanisms that are fundamentally unsound to free trade.
Foreign countries outside the western sphere of influence know this, and are drawing up plans to protect their interests.
6) Countries around the world are watching the US and Europe. They are taking steps to prevent western influence of technology in their countries to protect their soverienty.
Specifically, using open source software, so that American political interests, cannot shut down a countries computing/information infrastructure should someone declare a software or patent violation of foreign soil.
7) China and its neighbors, have told the US and its allies that current copyright law and patent law as written is not acceptable to Chinese state interests.
China has taken steps to halt and reverse the progression of American/European Software into their country.
8) The Far East, the worlds most populous nations, are building infrastructure, based on Open Source.
This has a number of very important implications, such as costing American/European companies 1000% more than Asian companies, just to route a packet over a network, or do a simple mail merge with your favorite office suite, to simply storing a file or printing it.
