Both Thunderbird (and the OS X Mail.app) do all that, and I have unlimited storage, I can remote in from anywhere on earth, I have backups, and best of all GOOGLE ISN'T WATCHING (my email).
Who would enter one of those places??? I've never seen in a McD's that was cleaner then the mens room at a interstate rest stop - and that's the counter area! But then what do you expect when you hire teenagers, and often illegals?
iTunes made the album obsolete, no more paying for 10 pieces of crap to get one song.
This latest move threatens to make the TV station obsolete, and has cable scared shitless. 100 channels, and all I really care about is CNBC, and about 6 shows. 6 shows will be WAY cheaper then the monthly bill eventually (1.99 per episode can't last long, it's insane).
And we can all pre-order more episodes of a show, so they can MAKE THEM and not more crap.
Maybe if a certain organization that assigns addresses wasn't using IPv6 to attempt to raise 2^128 dollars in fees... IPv6 is simple, paying for the address allocation will put you into chapter 7.
But I still can't figure out why noone is deploying it... hmmmmmm.
Not all games are like this. Any FPS game allows you to get "in the game" very quickly.
Some MMOPRGs like Guild Wars for example are not so bad. In 2-3 weeks you can have max level and top or nearly so items and be off to PvP on a level playing field (except for player skill).
Now games like WoW, Lineage2, DAoC and others are at the other end, and can take months, or even years for a casual player to reach the "fun" part of the game, or even playing 8 hours a day for that matter.
Luckily most companies are figuring out that there are more normal poeple with lives and 1 hour a day to play, there then 13 year old kids with 8 hours a day to play.
Only AOL noobs are still ignorant enough to click on ads! Anyone that's been on the net more then a month has spyware/virus/adware and ad blockers installed, by themself or by a savy friend. Or they just own a Mac and don't have to deal with all that.
You don't think anyone with any clue ever actually clicks on those ads do you?
Noone speaks any English at fast food places anymore. For example, at say the best university by far in the bay area (and the world) you have to point at the food in a certain sandwitch shop on campus, because only the one running the register speaks English. Sad, very sad.
On the other hand, my spanish vocab for food is always improving.
Considering the schoool system, and the media, how would you expect the American consumer to be anything but midless sheep?
If it wasn't for all those mindless sheep buying tons of things they didn't need, the entire world economy would collapse, that's just a fact. Poeple don't need that much really, and most of that is automated.
So thank your local sheep, thanks to them YOU have a job.
What we really need is the right to bear arms against people using cellphones in a car, in a movie theater, or anywhere else they are yelling into one.
I'm sure deaths by cellphone driver have long passed death by drunk driver, I get nearly run off the road by one of these morons at least a couple times a month. At least the drunk ones are _trying_ not to hit things, the cellphone users don't even know where they are.
So save the innocent, kill all cellphone users. Think of the children!
At all times you should have 20+ people you could call to have a resume on the right desk the next day. Network (the people kind). Then network more.
You are in a place where job turnover is worse then at McDonalds. Outsourcing, cutbacks, takeovers by another company, etc. Your job is about as safe as a house below sea level in New Orleans - you WILL lose it, just a matter of time.
The number one factor facing many 30-something engineers is that they can't get a decent salary to pay for family-friendly housing. Our state gov't is completely fucked economically as it is, and it's not because of the big, bad corporations...
Not true. It's just the bay area bubble.
Only those trying to live in a stupidly expensive place have that problem, and even then they can afford it. It's the rest of the population that cannot afford it.
Engineers anywhere else (in the world really) can afford things easily.
California, and tha bay area, have the highest taxes of any place in the country.
Google is just stupid to stay here at all. That's simple accounting. The tax loophole is proabbly the only way to keep Google form moving lock stock and barrel to India. So keep that in mind before you rip on them.
The weather can only be so nice before the insane cost of everything is unbearable.

Beat that.
Actually, 60k goes a ver ylong way in Asia... which is where all game development is moving to.
Hey, they have to pay the bills too, what with click through rates falling like a rock and all.
Ads only work on newbies, and we're running out. This is the next step.
Hrm, wonder how many hundreds of people with that name there must be.
Yea, the shirt is a little much.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...

You're missing the real point here....

AOL = noobs = ad clickers = Money for Google!
You're out of date.
It's "Va a querer papas con su orden?".

Unifying... open source.... hahahahahahahahhaha
On a serious note, it's about freaking time. Hurray!

Now if only RSS wasn't based on a DDoS protocol, we'd be set right? More bandwidth requires us to find new ways to waste it I guess.
Slashdot - Google news (and some other stuff on Tuesdays) for nerd.
You're in the tech field.
At all times you should have 20+ people you could call to have a resume on the right desk the next day. Network (the people kind). Then network more.
You are in a place where job turnover is worse then at McDonalds. Outsourcing, cutbacks, takeovers by another company, etc. Your job is about as safe as a house below sea level in New Orleans - you WILL lose it, just a matter of time.
So plan ahead.
Remote Desktop or VNC solve all the "problems" only so much nicer then doing anything in a web browser.
It's just the current web client/server obsessive fad. It too shall pass.
Welcome to Slashdot, glad you figured out why we're all here.
Google? No Google!
I have all my (non-spam) email since 1995, and I get alot of email, including several lists.
It's 252MB currently.
30GB is a advertising stunt.

Buy em cheap after the 9.0 earthquake.

It's adware.

Not theat the press ever gets anything right
Before this is was cheaper and easier to order online, not faster. 2/3.
/. readers.
Now it's faster (30 minutes to the store, days online) and cheaper to goto the local store, not easier. 2/3.
This means you will have to go *gasp* OUTSIDE. This is a sad day indeed for
Like all loopholes, eventually they close them.
"Move inland"?
200 billion now those idiots are costing us, and the utility bills will all double this winter. Thanks for living below sea level. Dumbasses.
