I think that's kind of ridiculous. Drain the gas out of it and drive it; works fine, even on the expressway. How is that not an electric car in anyone's book?
To tell you the truth, there's been one car in the last decade that I thought looked interesting (under $50K, anyway), and I bought one, the PT Cruiser. Why can't they make decent looking cars anymore? Design by committee?
I don't actually understand the point of this message. You either use IMAP over SSL (or POP, for that matter) or you don't. If you don't, it's not encrypted. Why would you expect it to be?
If you think that the "thought" involved is not involved in the justice system then you don't understand it. Motivation is always a factor in crime.
Burning a cross on a black family's lawn is a much nastier crime than burning some garbage behind an asian family's house. If you can't see that, you really have some learning to do about society. I'm sorry, but I don't think it can be explained to you.
In order to support both our own frothing desires for the latest and best (and free-est) AND the need to keep management happy with pro support for the few commercial packages we run (Oracle) we went with a hybrid approach: Fedora for the desktops and servers that run Fedora-supplied software, and RedHat Enterprise for everything else. We have had very few problems with the various incarnations of Fedora and the users like it. Management of both is similar enough that it doesn't mess you up, but you can go to Yum or Apt if you need a faster, easier package management system than up2date.
It warms my heart that I can be running the (nearly) latest kernel and the pretty Gnome 2.8 on my desktop with Fedora Core 3, while having no problems with connecting to servers running RH Enterprise 3 (or even RH 7, 8 and 9).
Of course, we never USE the commercial support, but there it is if we should ever need it.
They may or may not be "clearly created to pirate copyrighted materials", but like VHS or DVD burners or cassettes or whatever, they can be be used for quite legal and useful purposes as well. Should I be denied the use of them just because they can be used for "bad" purposes as well?
I've got a car, I might be running drugs, but mostly I use it to go to work.
I think we have a failure to communicate;) Those of use using Mozilla-based browsers (other than Netscape 7, I guess) did not get proper line wrapping with this file; we were required to scroll a long ways to the right to see the whole thing.
I have successfully used Apple's iChat with other broadband users over the internet. The sound quality is very good, and the delays are not too bad, and the video is quite useable. This is without any kind of QOS setup. I'm just saying the infrastructure is there; it won't be too long before this sort of thing is quite useable. Can't speak about Netmeeting;)
I would not make light of such a process; it is a major pain; I've done it.
However, I disagree that it needs to work with Outlook. As I mentioned in another post, we were happily using CS&T side by side with Outlook, it was fine.
However, just as Outlook supports IMAP, POP, SMTP and LDAP (because it must), a calendaring standard that is in general use in other programs would inevitably be supported by Outlook as well. But it seems to me that such a thing would be worth doing in any case.
Absolutely! If application integration was the whole story, Outlook and Word would be the same application. My company used to use CS&T's calendar server/client, and many of us happily used Outlook side by side with it. And it was a hell of a lot better than the Outlook calendar. Of course, then we got bought by a bigger company that used Exchange for calendaring exclusively, but I miss the old system a lot.
Since he didn't bother to check out Windows stability with someone professional, he gets what he deserves. Lord knows I'm no Microsoft fan (Linux and MacOSX, in that order for me), but 95/98/ME were never meant for stability, they were meant for compatibility. He could have moved to NT or 2000 and gotten a much much stable platform, at the cost of being incompatible with his favorite cycle-sucking screensavers, etc.
I bought a 46" projection TV with an HDTV receiver and a DirecTV dish. Right off the bat the TV is too good, it makes the digital satellite broadcasts and my DVD's look pretty bad;) Just too hi-res; you can easily see all the flaws in signals that look fine on a 27" crt. I even bought a progressive-scan DVD; still not good enough.
And the channel selection is pretty poor. I'm lucky; many of the Bay area stations broadcast simultaneously in HDTV for part of the their programming. There isn't very much, though. CSI looks wonderful, and very unforgiving to the actor's skin;) Every once in a while PBS has a great special on.
Then DirecTV has the one HBO channel in HDTV, and it's nice, but not quite as good as real HDTV source. They have a "preview" of an HDTV channel, but it's just random stuff. Pretty, though.
So, to summarize, the real HDTV broadcasts are wonderful, almost like looking out a window sometimes, but there is precious little programming for it yet.

Couldn't agree more. Akira is certainly the most beautiful and deep of all the anime I've seen. GITS is pretty much in the same vein. I don't think I've seen anything else that approaches either of them, except for Nausicca (sic) Valley of the Wind, which I don't think is available, at least in the Japanese version on DVD.

I don't know of any enterprise-compatible client/server calendaring systems in the open source world. I'd be very interested to hear about them.

I disagree. We only need a strong open source calendar server/client to at least be able to present an alternative to the Exchange calendar client.
