People who don't have the feature to remove the quoted text will always complain.
Do people not have the ability to 'select'+'delete' the previous conversation text?
The automatic exclusion of quoted text when you read a discussion thread where people just include the old messages for references. But still showing vital parts of quoted text if the email uses the quoted text in line and comments on specific parts. Gmail almost always get it right, and all you have to do is press r write what you want to say and send it.
Editing and removing of old reference text is not needed anymore, because gmail has the feature of hiding quoted text to show you what is important. What I'm saying is that when you have a wonderfull feature that just work, you just wont care about what that means to other people.
It's funny because I find voice mail extremly unhelpfull. An email is so much better because it's very easy to gloss over, but an voicemail requires your whole attention and you still need to write it down if you are going to send it to someone else.
Or perhaps you have an easy way of doing forward with voicemail, would be fun..;-)
Just use PGP if you want more safe guards, you can never trust email anyway. If you do trust email, then please use MSN or jabber as well.
The truth is that nothing competes with gmail like interfaces atm, pine and mutt are very very fast but that's the only thing they have got going for them.
Gmail is what causes those threads with one line responses because it feels much more like chatting than sending emails. People who don't have the feature to remove the quoted text will always complain. Is it a good or bad thing?
Gmail removes somethings that were an annoyance when I used pine/thunderbird, and now I just press "reply all" most of the times, and don't bother cleaning subject or to:/cc: fields. But the "reply all" feature should reply to everyone in the discussion, not just to the ones that were included in the last email.
There still are people who go the long way and read hard science stuff to understand it, and some of these people make posts writing about how they solved thier problem. Sure if we don't have google no one is ever going to read this stuff, but smart people will still exist.
What you are talking about is people who can solve things fast with just some searches on the internet, you can solve highly specialized problem with out almost no prior knowledge and no needs for smarts.
You could exchange America with what ever you want, you can still do this rant. Blame Comunism, blame capitalism, blame stupidity, but in the end you are just shifting the blame from yourself.
Now try to change stuff instead, do something positive, join a recycle program, an SCI International Voluntary Service program. Just do stuff for yourself that makes you feel better, but in the same time helps others. I'm sure that will help you get over your angst.
nerds need to stop reflexively assuming that common law doesn't apply to them[..]If I hand you the key to my car, that's "sharing". If I tell you "the key is on top of the left front tire, feel free to borrow it tomorrow", that's "sharing."
It doesn't work like thatm since everything is autoamtic with Wifi, it's more like if you sit down and rest on your way to the store, and then someone moves this bench, with you on it, to the store. Wince it's praxis to just log on to an open Wifi automaticlly, I don't see how you can ever be judged for just connecting to a Wifi.
It's all about reach, it's the same with newspapers they repost things years after it happens, as long as it's news for their readers. But usually blogs are better because you can actually trace where the source is.
Yes new GPS units have several advantages, one of the greatest is better algorithms for locking on to sattelites, and are very accurate. ATM what you want is a Sirf III chipset, nothing less.
Are you sure you are comparing the right things? It's easy to prove that you are right by only comparing what you use atm, I have the same problem with Windows it's not up to my standards as a desktop system. But I do agree that it probably would be fine if I changed my ways.
I know three nontechies around here who uses Linux as a cheap desktop system, they are doing fine. Why should they buy Vista and not use it?

step six: Earth is gone because no one wants to use old stuff.

That's why you include the body of the email in the short listing of your emails.

Ad-Hoc email lists should be easy to set up..
That will solve most problems with quotations..
See Cryptonomicon for solution...
So how can you eat it?
It's a no go, OpenAFS and kerberos is a very nice idea, but it doesn't work, the client software for most platforms is very bad.

you mean it will crash into earth?

Then I'm not very worried for the great data mine of google.

Sorry I'm not sure I buy that, the screen tech was more or less researched when they started the project, not true?

There aren't that many people maping (1000?), and you can really make a great differance by just adding all pathways you use for your daily strolls..
