Does no-one these days realise how much productivity is lost by the ability for people to instantly and frequently interrupt you?
This is why I no longer use IM at work. (Note, my employer encourages IM for communication between employees.)
People don't even try to solve a problem, they just interrupt me.
Wow! Just wow! Anyone with enough homophobia to register a domain like that, and put up that website. Really needs to be taken to a bath house, and left there for a couple of days.
I agree completely. In fact I tossed them $20 myself.
I jumped on their second beta and have not looked back.
I used it yesterday to fix a corrupted excel document, that real excel would just crash on.
While I agree with you. Try asking your boss if he/she can work without outlook/exchange. Or you could just try taking it away form the "suits" and see how fast you hit the unemployment lines.
This is exactly why I chose to learn and use vi, and not emacs, or even vim. In fact my first unix editor was joe.
At 3AM with a system that I didn't install. A system that will just barely boot to single user mode. I damn well better be able to use the tools that are installed by default because installing something else will not be an option.
I agree completely. If I am unarmed and someone with a knife 10 feet away from me wants to kill me, I figure I have a fair chance of surviving. The same person with a gun? I am likely to be on the ground bleeding in less time than it took for me to type this.
As I recall the former president ordered the internet shut off in Egypt.;)
Your point is well made. Perhaps TV and the internet only work as distractions after a certain level of comfort and complacency are achieved.
Most of the developers left both of those projects due to Oracle's ham fisted approach to dealing with them, and I honestly do not expect any further releases.
Close enough to dead for me.
MySQL, Dead.
Open Solaris, Dead.
OpenOffice, Dead.
Hudson, Dead.
It seems to me that Oracle bought Java, and maybe VirtualBox. The rest of it they threw away.
Note: I do not know, or care what they are doing with the hardware business.
A flash car is a great way to attract men, not women.
For the record I have an account on POF. That account has a crap throw away password. I met a fantastic and beautiful woman off that site just this past weekend.

Look on the bright side... You are going to get a +5 Informative for posting a simple link. :)

It is highly corrosive too. You could dissolve a battleship in that stuff!
Good thing I had my conscience surgically removed years ago. It is a very simple procedure, involving lazers. It is commonly preformed on politicians.
Personally, I will pay for his next rent boy.
:)
I say next because I doubt it would be his first.
I would enjoy posting up the footage of that encounter onto the net.
Sorry, but you are wrong.
When two groups of retards attack each other, everyone wins...

I am sure many others out there as well.

Just to get back on topic. Here is a shout out for my favorite exchange replacement Kerio connect. http://www.kerio.com/connect/download
I will name him dammit!!!
Monkey boy himself, Steve Ballmer.
We have all know all along that it was him! Why else would MS make such a hackable OS?
Script kiddies. (They believe they are hackers)\
The real pros. (The ones you never hear about)
Probably some others.

Tried it. Didn't like it. It really wasn't much fun.

I bow to you sir... You are the coolest uncle ever!

Yes, I am aware of the irony of making the above comment on the internet.
The internet has become mostly a method of keeping the people distracted.
It seems to be bread and circuses all over again.
You know someone will put you down for being logged in as root.
Shouldn't that be:
username@debian:~# sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.4-postgis
username@debian:~# sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-passenger
username@debian:~# sudo apt-get install python-django python-django-south

Close enough to dead for me.
Most of the developers left to form the Document Foundation and release LibreOffice.
