Vote for ANYONE but a Repubmocrat, period. I won't even try to sway you to a particular party. Any vote for a Repubmocrat is a wasted vote, not the inverse as their clowns regurgitate to you.
If she's on the ballot in your state, vote for Roseanne Barre. Whatever else you can say about her, you can't say she'd do anything bad for the U.S. if elected (pretty much because she most likely couldn't do anything at all).
Actually Windows hasn't included the junior version, Outlook Express for some time.
You're right of course; I could switch from KMail, but I haven't because I use the Kontact Address book as well. If you know of a good solution I can switch to, I'd like to know it.
I'd love to vote with my wallet. But the only $-supported Linuxes out there seem to be Gnome/Unity, and I don't like either for 1920x1200 24" monitor. KDE would work except that email search and address autocomplete doesn't work if you turn off nepomuk (or whatever it's called), and KDE seems to not work if you don't.
I didn't go OS-X because it looks to me like it's going in the same direction on the desktop as has been succewssful for them on phones, and I don't believe that'll work for me.
Currently suffering through Kubuntu 12.04, but planning on trying some alternate desktoop managers today.
I had two 8" drives on my TRS-80 Model I, but it was a custom job hard wired straight into the expansion interface.
I did, too. I also had a Lobo Max-80, a TRS-80 workalike, and it could handle a combination of four drives, 5-1/4", 8", single and double density, single and double sided. Ran under Both CP/M and LDOS (originally an acronym for Lobo's Disk Operating System, later became Logical Disk Operating System when rewritten to work on TRS-80s as well, and which was bought by Tandy to become TRS-DOS 4.
Under what conditions could they make unauthorized charges to your checking account? That seems like serious fraud to me.
Unfortunately, they are authorized. They, and merchant banks, once you give them permission to put money in your account, can also take money out. For me it happened with a merchant bank; put my second business bank account into the red, and took three months for themnn to put the money back in, They never did pay back the service charges they caused when they overdrew my account, and that's when I belatedly found out from my bank that it's what the UCC allows.
SCO had no IP worth spitting on. Its a worthless company who realising they didn't have much to trade on anymore decided to go IP troll with a shotgun, and in the process blew off their own foot.
No, you've got it wrong; not that IP; rather the IP numbers. They've got hold at least a Class C allocation (256 IP#s); these days that's going for as much as $1.50/month/each from some providers. And any way you look at it, after a year that's almost enough money to take the significant other to dinner.
No need for DE to store it themselves. Just put it on the 'net for a day, and let Google and The WayBack machine cache it forever. Sure, then it's in the public eye, but isn't it supposed to be?
Frankly I never understood the whole "monster laptop" thing, because how many actually need to do heavy lifting AND are gonna need to do that lifting on the road?
Think Desktop Replacement
My desktop, about four years old, isn't a desktop, but a tower. It can handle four drives (they weren't that big at an affordable price four years ago), has a Core2 four-core processor (yeah, that sounds wrong, but it's right), 2.33 GHz, 4655.01 bogomips per core), and 4GB of memory. It's got onboard GeForce video, a DVD RW drive, and even an unused floppy. It takes up[ a lot of space, and when the power fails it'll run up to a half hour on my almost-as-big $150 UPS). Home-built, from parts bought at a Frys day-after-Thanksgiving sale, the MB/processor bought together at one of their special price deals trying to get rid of year-old inventory. But it's a good system and has served me well, currently with one of those 750 GB hybrid drives (SSD front end).
I still get good use out of my ASUS EEE-PC netbook, one of the early ones with 40 GB SSD and 10" screen; I recently updated the latest UBUNTU OS, which runs well on its relatively small screen. The original battery still gives me enough life to work between places where I can plug it in.
I recently needed a Windows box (because Citrix Xen management software, needed for work, requires it), and decided to buy a Toshiba Sattelite laptop; i7 4-core processor (only 2.20 GHz (4389.83 bogomips per core); it came with 650 GB HD and 6GB of memory, both upgradable. Technically it's slower than the desktop but tests show it seems to run faster, and I'm likely going to use it to replace my desktop, and take it with me if needed (probably hardly ever). Uses a lot less power, will last up to four hours on battery, (allowing me to use the UPS to power only my network (including VoIP phones), will run the new 1920x1600 monitor I've just ordered (hdmi). I've currently got the 650GB included drive split in half, 325 GB ea, Windows and Linux, but I'll probably switch to that 750GB hybrid drive, and go to 425 GB Linux.
Plus some (rather inconvenient because of it's weight) portability if I really need it.
Everything I've seen indicates that they care a hell of a lot more about what you want to do and where you want to do it than what your actual experience is.
Let me understand this: you're recommending an India-based company which sends out unqualified analysts and consultants. Yeah, I suppose that would be a good job.
Newspapers are killing themselves. It's a slow death, and it's taking a long time, but they're doing it. For many years it was well known that newspapers lost money on the selling price; they made it on the advertising. So along comes the Internet, giving the newspapers the chance to get rid of the costly distribution method and deliver the news, paid for by advertising, at a higher profit than ever before.
But they blew it. They already had the newsgathering staff, and the editorial staff, the ad-selling staff, and the production staff. They were way ahead of the Internet news startups. All they had to do was convert to website delivery, bring in the readers, and sell the advertising. They even had their old wood-pulp delivery model they could use for free advertising to their current customers.
So what did they do? They put up paywalls so the news, and the advertising, was unavailable to anyone, even current subscribers to the wood-pulp product, to see the Internet product.
Lots of business models have given way to computers and the Internet; this is just one of them. Too late now. Time to move on.
I certainly do. Best way for me to manage my multiple email accounts with multiple servers.
This thing has a Vista-rushed-to-market feel about it.
Your post came at the right time for me; I'm in the middle of switching my company email store from POP3 to IMAP, mainly so I can see the same email on my laptop, desktop, tablet, and even (only in an emergency; I'm not a masochist) my smartphone.
I finally decided to have only one main email account, and forward every email address to it. That makes it easier to sort and manage email (if you're reading more than one account with a desktop email client, you probably know what I mean). True I get my important business email, my junk email, and even my personal email, all in one inbox, but I'm learning how to use Sieve. Now it doesn't matter on which client I sort my emails into various folders, every client shows the result.
True most email clients aren't that good at human interfaces to Sieve yet, but that will chane with time and use, and in the meantime, the RoundCube webmail client does the job admirably (and as I've written, the resulting rules will work no matter which client you use to read your email). You don't need a provider who uses RoundCube; you can run it locally and point it to any imap store.
Note this is a work on progress for me; today is the first day I'm actually writing the sort rules. I may feel differently tomorrow, but today, so far so good.
Does that apply to the OTA networks as well? Cable doesn't have any contracts with NBC, ABC, CBS OTA stations... They get those for retransmission FREE. Why would Hulu need proof of cable for those?
All the rest of the stuff is "Web Only" 1/2 the time. Great.
Unfortunately, that's not true. It's logical, it's reasonable (heck, it's more than reasonable; with cable the big 3 get much more viewers and much more advertising dollars), but it's just not true. I used to think it was true, but in the last few years we've seen (here in SoCal) some cable companies losing one or another of the local OTA channels during a dispute over pricing.
I'm not claiming that QWERTY is the best layout for typing- in fact, it's generally accepted that it almost certainly isn't.
Actually QWERTY is the worst. It was designed specifically so typists couldn't type faster than the mechanical techniques of the day would allow. Look up the history of typewriters; the first didn't use separate letters on separate levers; they used a carrier that moved up and down and turned on it's axis (long before the Selectric), and even the earliest electrics used an electric motor to wind up a spring which would pull back the 'hammer' to be released after the keypress caused the carrier to move into position.

Thanks for the clarification.
Free software doesn't exist in industries that does not involve computers itself.
Just because an OS is free, doesn't mean you can't run closed-source commercial software on it.

Ummm, no. Thousands times NO! In this instances say nothing. NOTHING!
Positive feedback only feeds the trolls.

I've got a better idea: just avoid McDonalds.

QWERTY has survived because of all the people who've been taught it, and even the efficient Dvorak keyboard (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_Simplified_Keyboard) couldn't couldn't replace it.
