    Mix the failings of Usenet with the shortcomings of the World Wide Web and the result is slashdot.

    Surely missing meetings is a bonus? :-)

    From the parent post: "Microsoft would then hunt you down and kill you and everyone in your family through to your great-grandchildren."

    This is an exaggeration. Actually, Bill Gates would come to your house and raid your refrigerator.

    I agree, all software should be named after an animal/celebrity/pokemon that can beat the mascot of competing applications in a fight, that way we can all play top trumps wihle browsing freshmeat.

    ...there is the downside of missing meetings because the calendar isn't supported.

    Missing meetings isn't a bug -- it's a feature!

    "With extensions, people get the features they want, and people who don't want them can rest easy. Works well for the birds."

    Birds are coding extensions for Mozilla now?

    Those cunning oiseaux!

    Hitchcock was right- lock all your doors and windows, and hope they don't have blasters.

    or Linux users the ability to click on a URL in an e-mail and have it actually launch in your default web browser (how novel).

    For Linux users it's really novel comparing to what Windows users got:

    Windows users can copy and paste images (including screen shots) from the Windows clipboard into HTML mail compose.

    And it's just in December 2003! Wow! It took even less than a decade after Microsoft made it possible to their users! And it's only for Thunderbird on Windows platform, where, again, it's been already for almost a decade. As for Linux users, their clipboard images are planned for next century. That will be a real usability revolution for them.
