Gmail vs Pine

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the objectivity-so-rare dept.

Snarfed has an interesting review on Gmail vs Pine. From the article: "I've used Pine as my email client for, well, pretty much forever. I use it because it's fast, powerful, stable, and very keyboardable. (I hate the mouse.) However, since I work at Google, I'm constantly bombarded with people who ask me why I don't use Gmail. After hearing the nth person brag about how much it increased their productivity, I finally broke down and tried it. I didn't expect much, since I've never liked web-based email clients. However, I made myself use it as my only email client, for a month, to give it a fair shot."

    American slang of the 1920's and 30's referring to someone who draws pleasure from sniffing the seats of girls' bicycles.

    Bertha wouldn't roll hoops with Calvin as she considered him a snarf of the worst sort.

    Like Las Vegas, San Francisco offers prostitution as a tourist attraction. If you want to buy some prostitution services (i.e., hand job, blow job, or full sexual intercourse), you need to merely walk through the doors of the Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theater (MBOT), located at 895 O'Farrell Street, San Francisco, California.

    Check out the prostitute schedule for April 5, 2006 at the MBOT.

    The prostitute schedule is updated daily.

    Unlike Las Vegas, San Francisco does not regulate prostitution. So, the MBOT heartily welcomes everyone -- including HIV-positive customers.

    Thanks. I often see companies posting services without listing prices. It was interesting to see them post their "union dues".

    Let's see, shall I vacation in Soviet Russia, or Potato-Famine era Ireland. They both sound so attractive.
