I use a variation of this. I basically do your password generation + a hash of the site I'm logging into. So that each site actually get a different password. This way I only need to remember the sentence and the hash is simple enough to generate in my head.
Oh, I like folders too, don't get me wrong. All my mailing lists go to different folders.
In my experience, filtering doesn't really work as well as tags. In Gmail, once you tag a message with a given tag, all replies to that message gets that tag. That's very useful. Problem with filtering is that the same person might be associated with different projects. so unless some tags are introduced (say in the subject line) then the filtering can't properly filter to the right folder. But these tags are decided by the sender and if you are going to tag the message anyways, why not do it properly.
Since I spend my time in Linux, and I'm relatively happy with Kontact, I haven't really bothered to test the new Thunderbird. One thing I really don't like when I've tried it, is that you can't thread messages in search folders. Pretty annoying.
Tunderbird V2 adds tags but frankly I like folders. I do not see how tags are obviously the way to go.
The thing about tags is that you can have multiple tags for a given message. Very useful if the boss write about different topics in the same email, and you usually sort by topics. You could fake the same functionality by copying the same message to the different folders, but it's somewhat a waste of space, and if you delete the message, it won't all be deleted.
I faking tags in kontact these day by dumping all my email into a single archive folder and then use search folders to imitate tags. It would be much easier if it had been possible to tag a given message as belonging to a given topic, though

Well, considering it started out as a commercial application from Sun, and is still mostly supported by Sun, is it really that much of a surprise to see such a strong Java tie in?
That's wrong. StarOffice was developed by a company called StarDivision in Germany in 1986. Sun didn't enter the picture until 1999. See here
One of the reason I'm on T-mobile is because I can use my own unlocked GSM phone on their network. As long as that is still true, I really don't care. I don't even think I've ever owned a T-mobile branded phone (all my phones have been unlocked gsm phones I picked up when I was in Europe).
Of course, this will hurt t-mobile. If I was Cingular, I would heavily advertise this.
All I know is it works fine on my WinXP laptop at home - I save out the files in ODT and DOC formats and XLS for spreadsheets - since I don't use heavy win call formulae, it has no diff from my end.

People rarely talk about just how viral Office updates are. You save a doc in 2000 format, and suddenly 97 can no longer open it. Save it in 2003 and 2000 can't open it. And so on. A customer/vendor/friend sends you a doc file, and you can't open it. Time to upgrade!
You replied:
That's one of the nice things about the free Open Source software in Open Office - you can open and save to all the formats.
Implying that the difference between OpenOffice and MSWord is that OpenOffice is forward compatible, that is OOo 1.0 should be able to open OOo 2.x documents (as in documents in OpenDocument format).
I bet MSWord 2003 can open Word97 documents just like OOo 2.x can open OOo 1.0 documents.
Question: Why is it reasonable for OOo 1.x to not be able to read OOo 2.x formatted documents, but not reasonable that Word97 can't read Word2003 formatted documents?
To produce an app for a symbian phone, your app needs to pass symbian signed testing, which can be a right pain in the royal artillery, I can tell you.
My phone (Nokia N70) will only warn me that the app is not signed, it won't stop me from installing the app.

2) Promote Brand loyalty by pushing Gift Cards thereby forcing even non-customers to occasionally consume Starbucks
Someone gives you a gift card and suddenly Starbucks is putting a gun to your head and forcing you to use it? Wow... didn't know they had that kind of power. So what happens when you don't use it? Thugs come by and beat you up?
4) Reduce the number of artistic venues by putting small coffee shops out of business with our pre-packaged experience
Nobody is forced to go to Starbucks. If people like those small coffee shop, why don't they continue go there? Or is it more the case that you personally don't like the choices other people are making, and want to force them to do what you think is best?
5) Raise the prices on our addictive substance every six months
And if you are not willing to pay for it, don't. Go to the store and buy your own coffee. Cheaper too.
6) Profit!!!

Well, apparently the people who created the GPL don't believe so, since they have chosen a license that permits commercial developers to link to many of their libraries for free. They have done so because they believe such licenses to be in the best interest of open source.
Then you don't understand the goals of the FSF (the people behind the GPL).
To quote them: Using the ordinary GPL is not advantageous for every library. There are reasons that can make it better to use the Library GPL in certain cases. The most common case is when a free library's features are readily available for proprietary software through other alternative libraries. In that case, the library cannot give free software any particular advantage, so it is better to use the Library GPL for that library. ... However, when a library provides a significant unique capability, like GNU Readline, that's a horse of a different color. The Readline library implements input editing and history for interactive programs, and that's a facility not generally available elsewhere. Releasing it under the GPL and limiting its use to free programs gives our community a real boost. At least one application program is free software today specifically because that was necessary for using Readline.
It was the coolest form factor phone at the time, and had a reasonable interface. Each name in my phone directory could have multiple numbers associated with it, with each number having an icon for office, home, cell, etc. When I wanted to call someone, I first selected the name, then the appropriate icon from that person's list.
That's how the Nokia phonelist work. I can also set a default (say cell is the default unless I choose something else). It also have fields for email (nice when you need to email the person), and you can add notes.
Well, on a more practical note, this means that within a few months, I should be seeing a real, complete, working JRE sitting in the main repositories for Debian and Ubuntu. Sweet. We no longer have to go and fetch it ourselves or experiment with incomplete toolkits.
Sun JRE has been in the Ubuntu repositories for awhile now. Not sure about Debian since I run stable on my Debian systems.
