I happen to enjoy its feature of letting you decide how you want your three-pane view to look: the mail content browser, the index, and I forget the other one, but letting you rotate those views is the bee's knees. When I set up Mutt, I even managed to mimic the 3 panes, painless after all.
And even if they don't suck, you have no assurance that your privacy and personal information are being tracked or sold to the highest bidder, so that in the next upgrade to that webmail client, targeted ads will tell you what your shoe size is, and how much salsa dip is left in your refrigerator. Or suddenly 5 5-gallon jugs of spring water appear on your doorstep one fine morning in February, thanks to that small update that launched itself in 4Q 2015.
I guess you're responding to a guy that's never ever worked in a corporate environment or enterprise, and never ever had 10 email addresses to manage, because he is perfectly happy with one. So with this artificial limit to his imagination and/or experience i.e. ignorance is bliss, and you are the ignorant one when in fact the opposite is true. So watch his reaction, ladies and gentlemen, and brace for impact, because we may have touched a nerve. Aaaaand ACTION
And this opinion is coming from a guy that's been around the block: A technical solution to a technical problem! And decided by people who do nothing else but code for all mankind! This did not come from a bean counter, nor a marketdroid, nor some random focus group handpicked by corporate sponsorships. It is now time for our kind to take the wheel and say, let us steer this thing, okay, just STFU and buckle up; you are in for one helluva joyride...
Those guys that were on the email client should not be dropped like hot potatos; instead let them have a well-earned sabbatical and return to work after a given time frame. Listen, we love what you're doing and there will come a time for it. But whatever your thing is, DO IT during this sabbatical e.g. white water rafting, ironman competitions, online deathmatches, half marathons, coding sessions, spectating or skiing, triathlons, arm wrestling, beerfests with bratwurst in Berlin, whatever. If you're just going to be on your phone the whole time well, you don't have to tell me about it; just go. Or tell your contacts to not be a sissy and leave you voicemail.(They know the drill: name, number, whats it about, etc.)
those guys that were on the email client Take that voice-to-text capability to the next level. We will no longer look at voicemail with disdain; Instead we will look through our messages and pick and choose the showstoppers and the dealmakers. We will be able to set our own schedules instead of the other way around. We are from I.T., and we know how to make a good thing better! You don't have to like us on anything, btw.
Someone once told me that Google voice-to-text would be the starting point, but that I haven't seen yet. Maybe you've heard of something like that instead?
That EULA should block the entire screen if you click 'do not accept' Here you are provided with a menu of other options.
a) Install an OS of your choice from CD or USB. b) I need this as a paperweight for my flatbed. c) I need this as a doorstop first, then wish to donate it to the library after (I have enough tablets and hardware, thank you) d) why is still in beige, it doesn't go with anything I have in the den! e) I wish to continue my descent into hell; please install the latest Windows.
Make it visual, so I can skip going through all of them but pick and choose which ones I want to process pronto. I'm making my schedule for the day, and I don't have the luxury of sifting through each and every one in that artificial sequence of yours, really.
The bit in square brackets is rarely said aloud, because HR, but there is a special low frequency managerial growl that gets this across quite succinctly.
If you know this quote, you know what it's talking about:
And last but not least, did the firm bother with composing a mission statement? Did they care to let You --the new employee-- know about it? Or did they skip that and went straight to your work hours? This is the answer to the question, Do they care about you as a human being?
But there was an internet outage about two weeks ago, and it went unreported because it seemed to be a simple outage. It happened before 7AM, and early customers at our laundromat could not access their prepaid online balances. The TV only showed an unusual white-box error message about technical difficulties. The Russians had just resumed bombing supposed ISIS targets.
The outage was early enough not to be noticed; it was about 5 minutes to 7 AM Eastern. What was cause for concern was for how long it lasted, almost 20 minutes of cell phone downtime. And no CNN even local news on our FIOS-enabled in-house network.
Anybody can bring down the net. But not just anybody can keep it down for so long. This is where I almost regret reading too many books or too many news items.
Not even Slashdot noticed anything; it was too early in the day.
I am asking Dell to ship laptops. with no OS encumbrances. No MS tax.
Are you still beholden to MS' bullying tactics? Where Michael sold his soul and signed on the dotted line?
Or are you hardware makers, pure and simple?
Ship this flagship notebook, without an OS. This is your wake-up call. Go mano a mano with the big boys. I think it is time. The Force awakens. We can buy your Windows-encumbered hardware, sure, and reach for the moon. Or you can sell us the hardware with our choice of a distro, and we can shoot for Mars instead.
This is your wake-up call, Dell.
Pop quiz: Do you hit the snooze button? Or show them there's a new sheriff in town, and he would like to play on your sandlot.
As opposed to Western medicine, where an effective drug has reached the perfect price point as set by lawyers, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and market droids. That it can heal is a side effect.
I have been a longtime follower of Slashdot and have been posting much as any Slashdotter would, endured both good and bad April Fools' columns, gritted my teeth and clawed my nails through beta, resisted the urge to like it on Facebook, and completely ignored mobile. I guess I am the most loyal follower then. Now, I am challenging the editors.
Here we have a guy who posed the challenge in the form of a question is the lower cost of DDT offset by the security and audit trail you need to ensure the program's long viability? More importantly, just how badly do we WANT to eradicate malaria, when it can affect humans long after the war has ended? Maybe it is not Slashdot's war after all, because this requires some serious journalism, the kind you will find in print: TIME, Newsweek, or Rolling Stone.
Call it kismet, whatever. POP QUIZ: 3 guys walk into a bar, their names "hey!" "Provocateur" and "Slashdot". Lightning flashes; the Dice are rolling. Are the new editors journalists, or mere bloggers?
I was just wondering how different things would have been, without iTunes. How different Slashdot would have been, had this new batch could have been the real deal, if they had kept the faith and stayed the course. And ignored those products from the walled garden.

because IBM's trackpoint hits the right spot absolutely positively every f****g time.
That screen (the gmail ad ) that greets you should be changed so you would NOT need to click a mouse (or touchpad).
but they post about it on SLASHDOT, like that's "stuff that matters!"
That's like saying, Throw more money at the problem

If you know this quote, you know what it's talking about:
Third prize is you're fired
And Mr. I ate an Engineer do you hate gotos so much that you forget we really start counting at 1 (one). See your step 4 to get more confused.
And last but not least, did the firm bother with composing a mission statement? Did they care to let You --the new employee-- know about it? Or did they skip that and went straight to your work hours? This is the answer to the question, Do they care about you as a human being?
What's a C & C server? I think I missed the memo...(Command and Conquer? shows you how much I think I know)
you're responding to the wrong post.
Luckily you can upgrade back to Windows 7
You know we're a long long way from Mars when the future of computing technology is summarized like that, right there

He should have sprung for the chemo
And started a meth lab with a former dropout. And taken on the cartel. And shipped product to Europe. And showed everyone how to live.
Make her look bad Her? Not Apple?

Unfortunately when you try to explain WHY I'm the one doing those extra hours it'll take 2 more hours of explaining to a nontechie.
