The most common reason for using "upgraded" versions of software, particularly Microsoft office productivity packages, is for:
1. Compatability with everyone else that upgrades or has already upgraded
2. Because the vendor (in your example, Microsoft) ceases to sell the older, feature-complete, products
Except if the server gets a virus. Then you lose everything.
In a business environment, you have a backup/restore infrastructure in place even with multitudes of servers. It would be very easy to do this with this so-called basement server.
Did you even look at the images on the web site? Nope - you didn't click the link. There are the usual dumbed-down apps that you need in a PDA.
Also, how do you KNOW that multithreading isn't useful in a PDA in the near future? I'm sure someone said the same thing about larger-scale computing systems in the past....
Actually, Visio is a keen tool. I would use a Linux alternative, but they all kind of suck and don't export to Visio - which everyone else in the office uses.
I love how all of these right-wing hate-mongers justify their views by using Jesus Christ and YHWH. Do you really think that Jesus would encourage people to kill doctors? Would he have really wanted the Roman Empire giving money to the synagogues so that they could perform officially-sanctioned Roman charities or run Roman-sanctioned schools?
Note: I'm not a bleeding-heart liberal. I'm a pissed-off ready-to-beat-down-the-ignorant liberal.
Radio is "free". There are ads in radio that makes up for this. Now, how much do you want to wager that the MLB feeds will be ad-free? Hmm? Thought so.....
What gave you that idea? They've turned their back on the Linux community and, in my opinion, betrayed us - deserving nothing but contempt (aka "I'm never buying anything with Corel's name on it").
What do you expect? Windows ME is for playing winamp, games, running napster, and downloading pr0n. Linux (BSD, etc) is for running ftp/http/nntp/dns/mail/ntp/smb/print/etc/etc servers, research systems, military applications, office desktops, routers, firewalls, learning unix, systems/application/web development AND playing mp3s, games, napster, pr0n, etc.
"Nix gurus" don't necessarily have time to check for, download, and install every single RPM. I see this as a very valuable tool for some companies (definitely NOT individuals). It's something I can pay for and purchase - which is usually how businesses operate.
Now, as far as automatic updates to production systems go, I have to say a big NO to that. I just get visions of hellish late nights trying to figure out WTF RedHat just installed....
For a real "space opera", check out Farscape. The good guys are bad and the bad guys are worse. The primary character ended up killing the woman he loved and had his brain exposed on an operating table unable to speak coherentaly. w000p!!!

HP Ending OpenMail

· Score: 1
"Is it just her, or all women CEO's like this, afraid of a little competition?"
Come on. What kind of statement is that. Besides, I'm sure she has a board to report to, so it is probably not her decision alone. It's more likely that HP viewed Openmail as a big waste of time, effort, and of course money - so they dropped it. What's the big deal?
My company has about 12 of these that are just sitting in a close - we might be willing to sell them cheap. They are originally for Ultra-10s, but they probably work with Blades.
I suggest that anyone interested in the serious threat that the American diet poses on our very own survival read (or watch the video) Diet for a New America by John Robbins.
Did you know that for every 1 lb of grain that could be used to feed a human, it takes 12 lbs of grain to feed a bovine? Know how much water it takes to raise cattle (including growing all of that extra grain)?
Sadly, our less-than-century-old infatuation with eating like kings and queens will kill not only ourselves but our species. I truly don't believe that there is any turning back until we realize that -woops- our gluttony is bad for our bodies and our environment.

Oh wait, did I say sell? I meant rent.

I swear I didn't click submit twice. Oh well, serves me right for using all caps on an off-topic post anyway.
I'm sure there will be addons by either Agenda or a third party. Jeez. You think Palms synced with anything but Outlook right out of the box?

Uhh... actually "Can Linux run on one of these" kind of went out of style two years ago. get with the times.
Typical non-argument from a meat eater.

Right?

We feel for you too....

No, Taco is just very much a Debian-bigot. If it ain't Debian and (Taco's favorite gushing item right now) apt-get, then it must be evil.

How could you
I was in shock yesterday when I saw a CD at the office for SQL 7 for WinCE. WTF???!?!??!
