You can actually use something like MailScanner* to filter HTML email. It can convert them to formatted plain text or just drop them.:
Convert Dangerous HTML To Text
Default is no
When <IFrame> or <Object Codebase=... HTML tags are allowed in messages, would you like to convert any messages containing them to be plain text. This is very useful as an alternative to either banning them using the 2 options above, or else allowing them through untouched. This option will still give the users the chance to read the text content of the message while not exposing them to potentially dangerous or offensive HTML content.
Convert HTML To Text
If you have users who are children, or who are offended by things like pornographic spam email, you can protect them by converting incoming HTML email messages into plain text. HTML attachments will not be affected. You could set this to be a ruleset so you only convert messages addressed to some of your users, or not convert messages from some known trusted sources. This can be essential if you have a "duty of care" for some of your users. *I use this to filter web bugs, phishing, outlook vulnerabilities, and viruses (running every attachment through ClamAV, BitDefender, AVG, and F-Prot). It rocks.
Grab the Flash 9 beta. Since I've been using it I haven't had flash crash my browser and video/audio is actually synchronized now. I still use the Flashblock extension (Firefox), though.0
I don't even think the Constitution is a consideration these days for politicians, if it ever was. I think they just pass whatever the hell their corporate sponsors want, and let the courts sort it out. Then rewrite as needed. But the way some of the supreme court justices act towards the constitution, it seems as if its barely in effect.
Not to mention IE7 doesn't have extentions. Actually, IE7 does have extensions.
Firefox 2 has ben extremely stable except with a few quirks, which stems from my computer being slow as hell. You do know that you can get decent machines off lease for low amounts of money, right?
I'd suggest upgrading your memory. My machine at work has 512MB of memory and I run Eclipse, Firefox, Windows XP in VMWare (128mb virtual ram), Exaile, and a few other apps. No problems.
Ubuntu: They *know* that their releases are steadily incremented. If they can count, no need for funny names. Hmm.... but I can see how that gets boring... Ubuntu's numbers are based on the year. The format is Y.MM, so 6.06 = June 2006 and 6.10 = October 2006. Fiesty is scheduled for release in April, but what if they had problems and didn't release it until May. Continuing to call it 7.04 would be rather dumb. Or, if Ubuntu went into a Vista-like mess, would it make sense to call it 7.04 in December 2010?
If you're using a Real database (Postgres, Firebird, Oracle, DB2, etc) why not just use a stored procedure? I've never used sequences, but I offload nearly everything I can into the DBMS itself. In my code there's just a bunch of CALLs (for SELECTs that depend on input, INSERTS, DELETE, UPDATE, etc) and SELECTs (all using a VIEW).
Well, I could pay for Crossover and have the plugin in my Linux browser. Or, I could apt-get install wine and use the Win32 version of Firefox for free. I chose to go with Wine.
I used Win32 Firefox under whine for a little. One reason: Flash 9. I kept running into Flash 8+-only sites and also got tired of never having the audio and video synchronized. I don't do this any more since the Flash 9 beta for Linux works quite well.
For all of you slashdot readers who have plenty of time on your hands, here is an excellent book on why going to the asteroids should be one of, if not THE, priorities of the manned space program. Although I haven't read it since I was young(er) I still remember it fondly as being one of my great inspirations for space travel. The ease of getting there (it is energetically easier to get to a Near Earth Orbit asteroid than going to the moon!), the resources available there (iron asteroids = lots of metals, icy asteroids/comets = water and volatiles, carbonaceous = building materials) and the potential for discovery/experience in deep space travel are covered in this fascinating book. It made a compelling case, without resort to more speculative ideas such as orbital habitats a la L-5, for why this is our logical next step after the moon.
Of course the book was written before Luiz Alvarez proposed that asteroids likely were responsible for mass extinctions. However since that justification for travelling to the asteroids has been discussed endlessly I don't think the omission hurts this book.
If you can find this book (I'm sure it's been out of print for decades) and have the time to read it, please do, It will help restore the feeling of endless possibilities that some of us had about space travel when we were young.

I don't see anything in that group that I don't enjoy a better version of on both my XP and Gentoo install...
You obviously have not used iLife if you say that. What's a good alternative to GarageBand? Under Linux Ardour is the closest, but still doesn't compare. Under Windows you'll have to pay a few hundred to get something about as good.
The ATI stuff is junk. The drivers are pathetic (open source) and the display is snowy, and the performance it rubbish.
I currently have an ATI Radeon 9200. The reason I went with it rather than a faster card is because of the open source driver for it. The games I play are emulated SNES, GTA III, GTA Vice City, and Enemy Territory. I haven't had and problems with it. It whenever I install Linux the card works accelerated with out of the box.

Hit Control-b in Firefox. You can search your bookmarks or organize them anyway you want without having to use the bookmark manager.

If PayPal wants to continue pretending to be a bank, they should be regulated like one.

Oh, wait. You already did.
Next time use a pineapple, you ass ramming uncle fucker.
Yep. I really want to be an unpaid beta tester. "beta" quality is being generous with Fedora.
OpenSUSE developers should stay away from Ubuntu, though. Unless, of course, they want to be turned into faggots.

Ever since they made the deal with Microsoft. Anything contributed from Novell from that point forward should be considered a trojan horse.
Does anyone else think that the season was too short? I mean, they did 7 episodes. WTF?
I have to agree with the last episode. It wasn't funny at all.
Brown Zune? Does Ubuntu make it?
And all three of mine.

How can you use a server without Aero? The command line is too scary...
