  1. Thunderbird 3.x + IMAP on Best Way To Archive Emails For Later Searching? · · Score: 1

    As far as a "cloud" webmail interface goes Gmail has the best search features (which probably contributes to why so many Slashdotters prefer Gmail), but the search features introduced into the Thunderbird 3.x mail client are the best of any e-mail interface. To even rival the customizability of searches that is available in Thunderbird 3.x would require one to be fluent with command-line commands like find and grep, but acquiring such fluency is temporally expensive.

    Timothy (OP) says that he has already tried Thunderbird though, but since his first complaint is that moving the "hundred of thousands of emails" that he has hoarded over the past two decades between the email systems that he has already tried takes "forever to process", Timothy appears to have some unreasonable expectations regarding data sets that large (specifically in regards to migrating and indexing such sets).

    For those who do not feel comfortable keeping their e-mails in the cloud, they could always use Thunderbird 3.x as the interface and administer their own IMAP server at home using software like Dovecot.

  2. God Takes Potshot at Kid, Misses on 14-Year-Old Boy Smote By Meteorite · · Score: 1

    ...That should have been the title of the article, considering that the high-speed pea-sized ferromagnetic meteorite was basically a bullet from the heavens. ...And God apparently has lousy aim.

  3. Re: GIMP on Quick Boot Linux Hopes To Win Over Windows Users · · Score: 1

    My friend is a professional graphics artist, and he recently switched from using Photoshop to using GIMP. He likes GIMP better than Photoshop because he finds that GIMP is more "tweakable".

  4. Re: Sociopaths on Misdemeanor Plea Ends Norwich Pornography Case · · Score: 1

    The fact that Attorney Michael Regan publicly declared "I have no regrets" in regards to ruining a teacher's life and health simply because miscreants installed malware on the classroom computer without her knowledge or consent demonstrates that Michael Regan is a sociopath, lacking in basic human empathy and conscience. Allowing abusive sociopaths such as Michael Regan to remain in positions of authority is probably the single most damaging thing that we can allow to happen to our society.

  5. Re: Re-Inversion on Ubuntu 9 Is Jaunty Jackalope, Coming Next April · · Score: 1

    The hierarchs of the medieval Christian church provided themselves with lives of royal luxury by controlling the masses with guilt and fear of damnation. Convince a man that anything that makes him happy is a deadly sin and he is your puppet. The core Satanic notion is the simple rejection of the guilt that the medieval Christian hierarchs used to subdue and control the masses. Satanists view the Christian notion of sin as deviously antithetical to human nature, and therefore as antithetical to happiness. As Satanists view Christianity as an inversion of human nature, they view an inversion of guilt-ridden Christianity to be a return to happiness. Satanists may be a little misguided in this re-inversion at times, but they do manage to successfully reject the absurd notion of sin as formulated by the greedy hierarchs of the medieval church.

  6. Re: Shope Papillomavirus on Ubuntu 9 Is Jaunty Jackalope, Coming Next April · · Score: 1

    Real "jackalopes" are just deformed rabbits that have [sometimes fatal] "antler-like" tumors caused by a Shope papillomavirus infection. So, Canonical is naming one of their releases after a deformed, diseased, dying animal. Tempting the Fates are they?

  7. Re: Flourinert on Coating a Motherboard In Thermal Resin? · · Score: 1

    The electrically non-conductive Cray coolant is called Flourinert.

  8. Re: Ubuntu's Super key on Dell's Subnotebook To Ship With Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Since the Inspiron910 comes with Ubuntu preinstalled, and since the "Windows" key is already referred to as the Super key in Ubuntu, having "Super" (or "Spr") printed on the Super key makes the most sense.

  9. Re: Don't cross the streams on Awesome Pics of CERN's Large Hadron Collider · · Score: 1

    When an excerpt from the Ghostbusters movie is modded as "Informative", it's time for someone to turn off the television and enroll in a science class. I also recommend removing the tinfoil hat before entering the classroom.

  10. Esperanto on Learn a Foreign Language As an Engineer? · · Score: 1

    Esperanto is a useful language throughout Europe, according to a multilingual co-worker of mine who grew up there. (It is also apparently useful throughout East Asia.) Esperanto was designed to be easy to learn, so its rate of usability versus time required to learn is very favorable. (Given the international philosophies of both Esperanto and Ubuntu, it is appropriate that Esperanto is one of the available languages when installing Ubuntu.)
