  Dear Utopian,
  
  I'm a bit busy right now. Cheney asked me to come back home for a nooner, and thought I would love to discuss this proposition, I cannot sit down right now.
  Perhaps some other time?
  
  Love,

What would be cool ... by Anonymous Coward · 2007-06-28 05:02 · Score: 5, Funny

Is a combined / integrated application that incorporated Firefox, Thunderbird and this Sunbird... that each part could be run separately if you wished.

It could save on the download because each part would share the UI code, networking code, etc, given that they're all built upon a custom platform layer, and each download replicates that.

Ah well, I'm sure it will never happen.

  Thank you - best laugh I've had all day. What should we call this all in one thing? I don't think anything like it has ever been done before. :)

If you are dedicated it's possible to pull your appointments from an exchange server, covert to iCal, and then import them into Sunbird.
Yes, but in order to be that dedicated you would first have to be committed... To a to a highly secure facility for the chronically insane

Please Fix It by bill_mcgonigle · 2007-06-28 06:09 · Score: 3, Funny

Please use your influence as a Microsoft customer to get them to add CalDAV support to Exchange, in the spirit of cooperation and interoperability. Does anybody know if the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is looking to standards for their calendering systems as well?
