You should stop saying "best". I do not think it means what you think it means.
Slowly and quietly overcoming opression sucks. I say blow the dam and I'll happily stand by to pick up the pieces - so would a lot of of the guys here.
If you're having a blast, then why curse the upgrade? 8.1 will continue to work for as long as you want it to, so don't upgrade until you feel like it.
Please explain this... What is X in your statement? An ion engine can keep going indefinitely - exactly how much fuel would it take to continually accelerate a conventional rocket to the end of the galaxy, and what would the cost be?
Spending the same amount of cash, the little put-put ion engine would get you there considerably faster.
In addition, since the ion engine can be reused (say, to return), and that X amount of fuel can't, I think it's a lot more economical..
...Isn't that a problem with the headers you've chosen for the default views in those folders?
I also have an archived sent (and many, many archived recieve) folders, and I just set the view on the appropriate folder.
I don't understand what the vale of having a "who" field is yet... But after re-reading your original message, I suppose that the issue is that you don't differentiate folders between sent and recieved mail. It's your right to do so, but I think you'll find you're part of a very small group. I'd suggest you either hack the source and add the feature yourself, or stick with Eudora.
It is SO much more useful that having seperate sender and recipient fields.
I've never used Eudora, but... I don't understand why - can you explain, please? You don't keep incoming and outgoing in the same folder, do you? And if so, why do you do that?
I'm guessing, but I'm pretty sure that scientists *know* where halley's comet is - along with every other cataloged chunk of rock or metal in the solar system - within a certain degree of accuracy.
This article is about how "cool" it is that they managed to get a picture of it, not that they could find it.
I now get why spamming is so profitable - I may try it myself. If you use thier handly-dandy "power of numbers" calculator, you can see that:
If I send a million mails for something that I make a 50 dollar markup on, I'm instantly 250k richer, in thier "worst" scenario!
If I send the mail to a billion people instead, then I just made enough money so my great-great-great-great grandkids can retire.
If I send it to 100 BILLION email addresses, then hey - I'm one of the richest men in the world. In fact, I may just generate a few hundred billion email addresses on this box right here, and send them all a mail.
See you, suckers - I'm off to spam my way to the top!

I'm not sure what your company does - your motto, "Our Team Is Ready To Improve Your Company's Marketing Success" doesn't indicate you do anything.
I hope no one is pinheaded enough to give you their name and address so they can take a 4-question quiz...
While this letter may be addressed to Darl, I don't think it was for his benefit.
Showing the world that we're not hiding anything, that we personally believe in the cause, and we can prove that we're right is a powerful message. Showering SCO with ridicule is probably the best way to defeat them - eliminate confidence, and you can cause the stock to tumble.
Since I'm pretty sure you're quoting me, I'll bite.
My statement wasn't in defense of his mistake - he made it, and he admitted to it, and he accepted whatever punishment the government has been corrupted into allowing Microsoft to levy on him.
My statement was giving the reason why he dumped MS for treating thier customers like crap.
It used to be about using software. It used to be that you could install something on as many machines as you want - as long as you only use it on one at a time.
MS' EULA and the BSA are a big part of why this has been unfairly changed, but I remember how it's supposed to be...
Regardless, the guy admitted he was out of compliance, and would have uninstalled the software he wasn't using if they had just told him about it. They instead fined him heavily and dragged him through the mud in public. That's why he dumped them.
They were not using the software - it was just left installed. And once again, the guy was willing to (and did) pay for the licenses when the nonconformance was discovered.
He ditched MS because they tried to make an example out of him, not because they tried to collect thier pound of flesh.
a) You had given that phone as a contact number when you applied for the credit. b) You're not giving all the facts of the story. c) The bill collector was psychic. d) You're making this up.
Honestly, how would a bill collector track you to a random pay phone, how would he know you were standing by it, and why would he expect you to answer it?
X is a standard protocol. XF86 just implements it. So will this new fork, as do the commercially available X servers that you can also display KDE on. KDE doesn't develop to XF86.
In fact... KDE runs on QT, not X. (QT has an X port, which is typically displayed with XFree86 on Linux) Was this a troll and I fell for it?
Of how people use thier computers... Does anyone actually do this?

No envy here... Those seem a little too "corporate" for me. Maybe I'm just not part of the Mac Generation.
I prefer my 2 old doors up on 2x4 legs wraparound desk. I covered the tops with some kind of wierd plastic posterboard, and I added an aftermarket lamp. I got a few old arm lamps from a yard sale, rewired them and drilled holes in my desk that fits the bases of them.
Maybe it's not as pretty as those i-thingies but it's as solid as heck, it fits in with this renovated barn I hav emy office in, and I do get to fiddle with the old hinges while I'm compiling...

Absolutely - I was about to go look google up on teoma and askjeeves...
Thanks for the effort, but HTML-from-PDF is actually worse than just plain PDF. :)

Willing to correct the problem and pay for the licenses he used? Yes.
Paid the outragous fines and legal fees? Yes.
Continued to support a company that attacked him? No.
I hope MS and the BSA keep this up - it'll just mean more converts.
You may want to check your facts on that one.
Here's a quote from The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition
"n.
1. Informal. A quotation.
2. A quotation mark.
3. Used by a speaker to indicate the beginning of a quotation.
4. A dictum; a saying."

He ditched MS because they tried to make an example out of him, not because they tried to collect thier pound of flesh.
No, they don't gloss over it. He specifically states that
a) They weren't using it (but it was unintentionally left installed on the wrong machines.)
and
b) He was willing to make restitution, providing MS had offered him a voluntary audit and a fair price on the 5 machines that were infringing.
He washed his hands of MS because they wanted to make an example out of him. That's a bad way to treat a customer, and he bailed on them.
I imagine that
a) You had given that phone as a contact number when you applied for the credit.
b) You're not giving all the facts of the story.
c) The bill collector was psychic.
d) You're making this up.
