I've never had any problems with the search feature. There are buttons that let you decide between searching the subject, to email, body, etc. What problems do you have with it?
Body search doesn't work, and never has, if you use IMAP.
There have been many attempts to tackle this problem (not just with wiki markup) and most of them have foundered when the requirements of the document type went beyond the facilities that could conveniently be represented in a synchronous typographic interface (I have been gathering these for my thesis on structured editing). Let's hope this implementation is more successful, given that the wiki markup is relatively simple.
Ballmer has his head up his ass, as usual. My N800 was my tablet and my PC for years. My Note almost does as well. A surface tablet would be very pretty, but I can't see how it could replace my desktop, as Ballmer has no idea what my desktop does for me.
Nokia has one (probably their last) shot : transform "featurephones" into "smartphones".
No, they have missed the boat, and nothing they can do will save them now. They may be bought up, but they had their chance when the mini-tablet (N800) and tablet-phone (N900) were handed to them on a plate and they simply couldn't see the potential.
So evolution is meant to convince people they don't need a saviour? Apart from the fact that this is a non-sequitur, has this useless fuckwit of a legislator actually read Darwin's Origin of Species? In particular the penultimate paragraph:
Authors of the highest eminence seem to be fully satisfied with the view that each species has been independently created. To my mind it accords better with what we know of the laws impressed on matter by the Creator, that the production and extinction of the past and present inhabitants of the world should have been due to secondary causes, like those determining the birth and death of the individual.
Whether or not people need a saviour is unrelated to how people got here. If this is an example of the mental processes of an elected representative, he should probably go back to kindergarten and start again, without the religious upbringing which has led to his derangement.
However what stands out to me in this story is that the guy claims to have gotten a package from the offender, but doesn't so much as mention checking the return address.
Parcels sent locally here (Ireland) don't need a return address: that's an American requirement.
Have a BSc or better (normally in Computer Science or similar IT degree), plus several years real job experience.
I truly have to wonder why this has become the norm in IT.
Do you really need BSc or better degree to admin windows servers or do basic support?.
Not when it's all working. You need the knowledge when it falls over, or when it needs redesigning, or when you need to call bullshit on some PHB's random ideas.
No. The difference is not (and was never expected to be) that organic food contains more or better nutrients. The difference is that organic food does NOT contain the stuff that's bad for you (pesticides, growth hormones, toxic compounds, heavy metals, etc). Scanning previous studies, peer-reviewed or not, is interesting, but is in no way a substitute for new research. This kind of report just gives science a bad name.
Schools were out during the summer so that children could work in the fields. How relevant is this now?
For some people here in rural agricultural Ireland, very. Ditto elsewhere in the countryside. But that's maybe 5-10% of the population. If school isn't going to be a year-round thing, then cut some of the summer holiday and add it to the other breaks. Or make the timings entirely local, as you described.
OK, so WD-40 is a water-repellent which happens to be a penetrating oil here on earth. There are other penetrating oils, such as the graphite-based one from 3-in-One. I have no idea if they work in zero-grav and hard vacuum, but presumably someone in NASA does, and is either using them or has discounted their use. Job #1 is to fix the problem, and I'm sure they'll come up with a way, even if it means duct tape. Job #2 is to prevent this class of problem reocurring, and that's a design problem for the long term. This space stuff was always going to be a learning curve.
The American Budweiser, sure. But the original Budvar is great. Thank fuck former President of Czechoslovakia Václav Havel prevented it being taken over by Anheuser-Busch.
Did you hear about the American who thought his beer tasted odd, and sent it to the Public Analyst's Laboratory. He got a letter a week later: "Dear Mr Smith, We're sorry to have to inform you that your horse has diabetes..."
Isn't the standard for strategic reserves meant to be 60 days? Like if all food production was wiped out, the world has only 60 days of food in the reserves. How the hell we're meant to bootstrap food production in 60 days is anyone's guess...
Apart from being wedge-shaped (so they'll get their ass sued by Apple), the moment I looked at the video and saw the huge block of a power charger, it was clear that this isn't the portable Air-slayer that it might have been. I want something I can take away without having to lug half a ton of support equipment with me.
But the show-stopper is that vertical resolution. 900px is strictly for the brain-dead. Manufacturers think all anyone ever does is watch videos. Some of us need portable computers to do (gasp) work, and that means being able to see a whole-page document at readable resolution without having to use a microscope and without having to scroll the page vertically. Even my old Dell 4:3 Inspiron has a 1400×1050 display, and the only competitor to that at the moment is Apple's Retina display, which I tested last week and find I can read perfectly. Yes, I know you can get screens up to 1080px high, but the quality is crap and the prices ludicrous.
So snooze on, Lenovo, you've got a lot of research to do yet. Have a Google for laptop vertical resolution...
Just for comparison, I visited the UK a year ago with my (unlocked) HTC Hero and just got a SIM from Three. The SIM was free (other providers have similar deals), so you just top it up on the regular pay-as-you-go basis — I splurged £20. That lasted me the week of my conference with some to spare (some calls home, some business calls, some local calls fixing meetings/dinners/etc, and a few texts). Plus what appeared to be unlimited data (obviously there's a limit somewhere, but a week of email, downloads, tweets, webpages, etc never got near it). Just went back last weekend, the card still had £9 left, and I got a similar workload done over three days. Towards the end of the last day, I got a text message warning me I was getting low on credit, so I topped up by £15 ready for my next visit next month.
The problem with American "plans" is that they are month-based, and possibly 99% of business and vacation trips are way shorter than that (not a concern to the OP, who is using a longer-term basis). But I didn't realise that it was possible to get a usable SIM-only deal in the USA, otherwise I'd have signed up for it in Boston last month.

I really haven't used a desktop client for email in years. Where's the gain for the user?
So you don't have to use the goddamn awful sucky webmail interfaces.
What I'd really like to see is improvement in the webmail interfaces available to us. Gmail is fast, but I find the interface limiting and clunky.
What I said.

Apart from the genetic advance, anything which improves an already tasty animal is welcome.

For some reason in Europe, you tend to see a lot of stores advertising "-50% off!" sales and such.
No, you get either "–50%" or "50% off". I've never seen both — but perhaps a particularly illiterate or innumerate trader might do it.
Presumably this is a US-only thang?

Yep. We now get the same set of cunts who fucked up the regular banking system. Way to go, BitCoin.
This is Ireland. The police wouldn't have had a clue what to do.

It's very good, but Irish bacon is even better. No shortage of fodder here either.
Same with salmon, at least this side of the pond.

Anyway, you're from Europe, so go to one of them free colleges.
Ain't no such animal any more.
When I was in high school, I made web sites for realtors
So you're the one who caused the property crash...
