Waitasecond. Are you saying that y'all spatial Nautilus users aren't using some modifier key to Open-next-window-and-close-last-one? Like the option key on System 9? System 9 was only usable for complex directory tasks because they'd thought of every angle. Most end users took decades to get complex tasks done.
So why doesn't she do what she claims to be good at and talk to these unwashed masses of end users she claims to speak for, find out specifically what they are crying out for and make concrete feature requests backed up by these user's problems?
It's a little closer to that than you might think. But the GNOME devs thought the work that she wanted to do would not have been particularly helpful to GNOME, nor effective in addressing her concerns. They told her so, and she disagreed.
She seems to think a web-poll would be a helpful way of doing market research for GNOME, and they don't. I tend to believe them. Even though they're the spatial browser idiots, I'll take their opinion over Eugenia's.
Tommy: Doesn't it make you proud to be Scottish? Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: It's SHITE being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of the fucking Earth! The most wretched miserable servile pathetic trash that was ever shat on civilization. Some people hate the English. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are colonized by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to get colonized by. We're ruled by effete assholes. It's a shite state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and all the fresh air in the world won't make any fucking difference!
As someone who follows video games but is not an XBox fanboy, I totally disagree. Zonks writeup is interesting, and I could give a rats ass about gamer cards and custom playlists.
I knew about that, but that doesn't mean the diaspora does not support Israel just as much. I guess you're right, though. Most Hebrews do not carry their pro-Israel views to being anti-Palestinian, while it seems that many fundamentalist Christians do so.
Being a Jew myself who believes in the Messiah, Jesus, I can tell you that almost every Jew and Gentile I meet who visits a church or a synagogue believes that the Bible is the inspired word of God.
I don't doubt that. The criterion you have supplied means that your experience does not necessarily speak to my first point.
It's definitely not a matter of Christians vs. heathens, although some polticians and religionists want to make it like that.
I oversimplified and distracted. I was attempting to discuss why you spoke as if you are a radical Christian ("silly & insane as Islamic extremists") but do not believe yourself to be so. All the people that you speak to that you consider to be Jews and Christians also believe that the Torah or Bible is the inspired word of God. So you do not think that you are out of the mainstream, but you are.
The thing that so many of these weirdos forget is that people who believe literally in every word of the Bible are radical Christians. Most Christians do not believe every single word of the Bible. They stay out of this kind of idiotic debate, so the radical Christians wind up thinking that it's just a matter of them, the Christian majority, vs the heathens.
Not necessarily. Early Judaism did not profess that there were no other gods, just that theirs was the best and that they should not worship the other ones. So if some other religion worships one god, but he sounds really different from the Jewish God, then maybe he's actually a different and lesser god.
While the monotheistic religions have ironed out this kink by saying that they worship the only God, it frequently seems as if they are still driven by their original I-have-the-best-God values.
There is no precursor to the Rapture - the entire point is that no precondition is necessary, we could be taken and sadly, many of you left behind without a hope. If you know the truth and don't act on it before the Rapture, you have no chance.
Uh, your "Bzzzt. Wrong." should not be directed at grandparent poster. He's not saying that he thinks the rapture has preconditions. He's saying that there are radical Christians who believe so, and that is a fact. You may be a radical Christian who does not believe so, but that still does not disprove his statement.
It looks like eight stories of tempered glass stupid. The showcase stores are idiotic, unless you are a raving fanboy of whatever subject they showcase, and then you probably don't give a flying rat's ass about the other stores. Just your Warhammer, or whatever. The arcade... is better than some other arcades I've been to, but that is saying nothing.
I'm glad to have a movie theater right next to BART. As a movie theater, it passes. Aside from that, I wish the Metreon would sink into the Earth and never return.
The Walk of Game is their attempt to figure out what to do with the braindead architecture. There's this suspended walkway for no reason on one of the floors. And Mario & Link have been on that idiotic walkway for at least six months. Keep in mind, this means the "Walk of Game" is owned by Sony. Somehow I doubt that they've gone and set up an independent commission to determine who goes on the Walk of Game. Also, the suspended glass walkway isn't very long. Maybe they expect to expand it throughout the building, but more likely it's just a one-time PR thing that now I've spent way, way too much time thinking about.
I had a collection of 1980s Dragon Magazines. One of them had an editorial about a brochure that had been circulating, that advertised Dungeons & Dragons as an excellent way to learn hypnotism, control your parents minds, and force them to buy you more D&D books. The editorial did a little digging, and discovered who had published the brochure, but I've forgotten.
The weird thing about it, is to think that people would go out of their way to make D&D look bad. I mean, if you think it's bad, that's your deal, but wtf do you get from villainizing it? It was strange to my 12 year old mind.
Anyway. Adults who are into live action roleplayers are detached from reality. That's the goal. Maybe the Israeli army is onto something.
Windows built in search found the.c and.h files I mentioned earlier. And, as I said in another response to this thread, I just tried searching my 700MB plus outlook mailbox.pst file, and it took 29 seconds to return a few thousand results.
How do you like the interface for those features? If you like them, use them. I don't like deciding whether I'm searching for video vs content in a word doc ahead of time. Not necessary. I don't like Windows' UI for search. (It's not because of the little doggy. I like doggies.)
Google did not index my outlook mailbox at all. Unless this is a new feature.
No, that sounds like you experienced a bug. Email search is my second most used feature of the product. History search is #1.
I should also mention that Outlook did not present me with any context sensitive ads. I guess GDS is great if you complain about the lack of advertisments embedded in your personal data.
What advertisements?
Aside "speed", and really, searching even a completely full 80 gig HDD by walking through every file/dir with a simple VBScript doesn't take more than a couple minutes.
Like I said, if you don't want want the features, don't fucking use it. Speed is important only if you want to search frequently or revise your search after you get too many or too few hits. Windows Search sucked enough that I never used it. Desktop search is good enough that I use it... between zero and twenty times a day. Would it end me to not have it? No.
Uh, read the feature list. If you don't like it, don't use it. Windows built in search won't help you find that website you saw the other day but can't remember now and can't find in your history. Windows built in search is shitty for finding content inside files, and Outlook is shitty at finding content inside emails.
It's just a little better. Enough that it's worth using, while Windows built in search is not.
Perhaps the *only* reason outlook/exchange is entrenched in corporate IT is because of their superior calendaring.
And with all their "groupware" features, you can't have a shared calendar that's overlaid on other people's calendars. Calendars have to be viewed separately. Calendars can't be published. I certainly agree that it's the best calendar system I've seen on the PC, but I still think it's bad.
Have you heard of Outlook Web Access?
OWA is Exchange, not Outlook, and it requires your own IT department to set it up. There is no OWA site where you can sign up and get free calendaring. Non corporate users have no access to OWA.

Most Jews in Israeli are secular. Just saying.
Well, then we're all on the same page :)

Temper that down to "aren't Conservative and are under the age of 60" and I'd agree with you. Conservative, meaning not Reform, not politically.

Ok, fair enough. One particularly non-mesh-like-quality is that more nodes will reduce quality rather than increase it. But I guess you're right.
Again, there are no context sensitive ads for desktop searches with GDS.
Uh, am I misreading, or is that article about WDS? WDS is not mesh networking.

Mr. Buyukkokten, there's no need to get personal.
Now if there was only a Gsexlife.com, so we (the Slashdot Googel- and Linux-butt-ugly nerds) could have one of those without paying every time.
It's called Orkut, and it sucks.
