I try every release... but I have experienced lock ups every time thus far within an hour of normal pop use. Outlook 2000 still does a better job for me unfortunately.
I also need to trigger the play of a sound file when a message is filtered to a specific folder and haven't seen an extension do this yet (and I'm too lazy to learn xul etc to do it myself). It has been requested as a feature already.
My mother spends a buttload on movies for all the grandkids to watch. She's got the all-you-can-eat blockbuster plan so she's got 3 new dvds a week for the grandkids to watch minimum.
Ok, maybe his comment should be amended to something like:
"It's the OS (er platform/kernel/whatever) that never had a chance in hell of working with your wireless NIC from BestBuy or that Centrino laptop they gave you at work."
yes, the stuff published in Wired dead-tree edition is two months old on Slashdot.
But, look at how many posts say "A story on Wired..."
Wired's online news beats Slashdot every time. I only need to read about 1/3 of the Slashdot headlines nowadays as they are just re-posts of stuff from Wired, Yahoo, and Groklaw. The polls are still good for a laugh tho.
Before DNC... 99% of my calls are from telemarketers who are specifically excluded from the legislation. Mainly, any credit card company I've ever done business with as well as non-profits.

The answer is no, this scam didn't do jack for me. Telezapper has been more effective.
This thread's amateurish psych analysis is beginning to grate. All of the billions who have lived and died without ever having been on a subway can't possibly have found happiness without daily verbal interaction with strangers.
Hopefully the same idiot will mod your post as flamebait. I agree that's probably not a post that should have been modded insightful.
I'm one of those people who still prefers windows on the desktop. Mozilla the browser rocks, Mozilla the mail client still fails to be able to do the same things I can do with Outlook 2000. And, yes, I keep installing each new release hoping I can migrate but can't. Yet.
Your assumption about server-side scanning is a little weak.
I take it you're thinking that he's admin for both, that they're both in his home on say a dsl/cable connection? I know a lot of people like this. Fast beefy box is a win desktop for work and gaming. Linux server is the box you had before last upgrade. Given this scenario, where you have already incurred the b/w to download a message to your local net, why is it so hard to believe client side filtering might not be an individual's choice over server-side?
Why scan your messages on a box with latest cpu and disk when you can let procmail and perl churn on them for awhile over there in the corner and do the same thing but more slowly?
Sometimes reading Slashdot is like this: I don't care if your Microsoft screwdriver can turn that screw perfectly well. My hammer kicks ass over your screwdriver for pounding nails so obviously we should all use hammers to drive screws.
I'm thinking Novell isn't too serious about all this. After all if Novell had a legal leg to stand on wouldn't they have already been able to get an injunction against SCO issuing every press release like this?
"The SCO Group, Inc. ("SCO") (Nasdaq: SCOX - News), the owner of the UNIX(R) operating system..."
The story discusses a service targeted for seekers as opposed to employees. Kind of like the Free Credit Report industry. The story points out some flaws but it's definitely a sign of things to come.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. You make good points.
As for your assertion that If Dean was still in the race...the point would still be true I respectfully refer you to my original post and DK's own web site for examples such as news release dated November 10 2003.
I disagree. It really depends on your audience. If you are speaking to someone who's a peer or possibly a supervisor/manager of your peers they will empathize.
However, if you are talking to someone from Personnel of a really high level manager who's got to sign off on you -- it's a different story. These people look predominantly at negative qualifiers. If you blame anything on bad luck, the market, poor management decisions, etc they will view this as an indication that you will give up when facing challenges and you will blame it on anything but yourself. They will interpret the smallest detail of your resume or interview as a microcosm of you. You're not a can-do, team-oriented person. You tend to blame others. You can't take responsibility for a mistake.
So, I'd recommend that you figure out how to creatively deal with these gaps in the way that minimizes dishonesty but puts the best spin on the situation.
Just one example of the ways that RMS wields his voice:
I endorse Dennis Kucinich for President of the US. We need an elected president who will support the freedom and interests of all Americans, not just the rich few. He is the only candidate who voted against the PATRIOT act.
It never fails to amaze me that those who claim to protect our liberties stoop to McCarthy-type logical fallacy to get their point across. DK said this with Dean still in the race and last I checked he wasn't a voting member of Congress.
I agree with the parent except the part about not caring about Linux arriving. Woah! That just seems very myopic to me.
If a tree falls and there's no one around to hear it... yada yada yada.
Does software exist if no one uses it? How can one argue that adoption of Linux hasn't been (and won't continue to be) a huge boon to free software?
I care about Linux arriving because:
- my biz customers don't care about free software, but do care about reliability of software that runs on the hardware they buy.
- Linux arriving makes it easier to convince my clients that my recommendations have merit and that the OS will be supported.
- Having scored with a free OS some barriers are lowered to convincing my clients that free alternatives to other packages are viable. It gets the foot in the door for other free software.
Perhaps I am incorrect but I have always felt that the more free software is used the better the chances of the free software movement's continued existence.
If nothing else I think you should care to the extent that Linux can be a great tool to further the free software movement.
I'm open to being convinced that Linux arriving isn't extremely valuable to the free software movement.
Coincidentally I'm waiting for UPS to haul away my IBM drive for its third exchange. And that's just one drive that isn't the model mentioned as the problem.
I'm a small business owner who for awhile built systems for customers using exclusively IBM drives. They used to be rock-solid. But over the past two years every IBM drive I've shipped has failed. On two systems, the replacements failed within six months and now, as mentioned above, one system will be on its third replacement. At least they keep sending me new drives but I have to eat the cost of giving my customers good drives while the IBM replacements go in my media servers as scratch drives that can't be relied upon for any length of time.
It seems QC went down the tubes for IBMs HD business. Guess what Hitachi? Think I'll ever buy any inventory from you?
I do have a sense of humor but it would be difficult for me to mod this up as funny when the joke doesn't make sense. The former Beagle actually made it across those vast reaches and returned;)
I have a sinking feeling (pun intended) that the guys who organized this are publicity hounds. The story says it was retired and sold, families lived on it, all this and yet there's a mention of "mystery" and what they might find of Darwin. Sounds to me like they found something that wasn't lost so much as thrown away.

You're just jealous of our freedoms.

Er... that was supposed to be Before and After. But you probably knew that.

Yep life is better on a subway.
All your pension fund are belong to us.
And thanks for the mayo. And, Alain Giresse. One of the few French I've seen with some real heart.
No one ever appreciates a sysadmin until they need one.

Someone forgot to tell me that when I visited Paradise I'd be treated to shouts of Haole.
Of course the shouters forgot the fact that they arrived there in boats too.
about as well as the Do Not Call list.
