I haven't tried it yet but all I want is to be able to save messages by dragging them to my desktop or a folder, I can in Outlook Express but not Thunderbird. It seems like an odd thing not to be able to do.
I've noticed this firsthand, for almost 20 years I worked on the road where I would meet many people, I was outside most of the time during the year all by myself, any contact with the company or co-workers was by phone. I would get many colds, sometimes back-to-back which I thought was unusual but I hated my job and going to work everyday I thought it was normal for me to catch a cold or two, or more, every year - or so I thought.
I'm now inside doing a similar job but I work with about two hundred people, I've worked there for almost two years, it's great! I used to be quite shy but now being "on stage" as I refer to it really has helped me and I'm much more social, I haven't been sick since I started working there.
My shyness hasn't been cured, it's who I am, and I still don't have a girlfriend but to me my new healthier work environment (it's not prefect but way better than before) is proof that being happy is good for your health and possibly prevents many types of illnesses.
I'm glad to see most people here agree that simple is better.
Take the obvious example of Firefox it's a simple browser that has exploded in popularity. You can make it as complex as you want with extensions but that's not why it's so popular, it's the simple clean design, it functions well for what it is and nothing more.
Ice breaking ships use something similar but it's to help break ice not to help reduce friction for the purpose of traveling through the water. It helps break the ice probably in a similar way that hovercraft ice breakers do by causing a cavity to form under the surface of the ice and it collapses.
My Dad was in the Canadian Coast Guard for 30 years.
The activity factor is the very reason I like the Wii rather than other static form of gaming. I don't have one yet but it certainly looks like fun.
Do the Wii remotes have rumble? I've read reviews about how boxing and golf feel weird due to no feedback, even a small bit of rumble would help to make it feel more real and also help you gauge your response.
Petroleum is used for many other things besides fueling vehicles, many of which may not be so easily replaced as we can do by switching from gasoline to hydrogen.
The Peak Oil conspiracy nuts are just latching onto something that has a catchy name and may or may not be true, but they are desperately trying to prove it's true. It's like religious nuts that want the World to end to prove they are right and everyone else is wrong.
"Great holy armies shall be gathered and trained to fight all who embrace evil. In the name of the gods, ships shall be built to carry our warriors out amongst the stars and we will spread Origin to all the unbelievers. The power of the Ori, will be felt far and wide and the wicked shall be vanquished."
Jeff "The Prior" Bezos will walk on the land they call Texas and they will accept Origin!
A friend of mine said his child's teacher refused to teach them cursive writing because it wasn't needed anymore, the Web, newspapers, pretty much everything is written as block text.
I've also noticed quite a few adults "write" notes and letters in block letters instead of cursive, these are business executives, professors not your average Joe they are professionals! It looks childish, it would be even worse if they also used " u r " instead of "you are".
It's ironic how anyone who frequents Slashdot can say it's a good thing for a less choice. The whole Windows/Mac OS, locked-down source code programs versus Open Source should make everyone want to be able to modify or control anything to do with control over anything to do with Internet.
I'd say KDE looks like MS Windows, "cold" with a more industrial/business look and GNOME is more Mac-like, rounder with more cartoonish looking icons and menus. I used to hate GNOME but now I prefer it over KDE.
Europe is far closer to the terrorists than the US, I'm sure they are going to do whatever they can to protect themselves. The US has oceans thousands of miles wide on either side to protect it, a terrorist could walk to European country.
At work just the other day we had a all-employee meeting where large groups had to attend a lecture on Freedom of Information (FOI). One point the speaker made was even if something embarrassed you that didn't give you the right to hide or withold information someone asks for, unless it's of a personal nature. If you write it and it's public, expect it to be available to anyone who asks to see it.
When some of these students, lawyers or journalists, graduate I'm sure they'll be demanding access to information as part of their job. maybe even a student's essay.
Slashdot Mirror
Well then what took so long to see it here!
Damn, I should have patented the idea!

With or without milk?
Do you need those special funky yellow glasses to use it?
Actually it will be naked Austrian body builders materializing out of a ball of light.

scientists think younger humans may be more vulnerable to the transmissions, because of thinner skulls.
The children will grow up to be like their thick-skulled parents and believe everything they see on the Internet.

It would be like working in a 1960's sci-fi B movie.

It's the GUI or the "Windows" part.
I'd say KDE looks like MS Windows, "cold" with a more industrial/business look and GNOME is more Mac-like, rounder with more cartoonish looking icons and menus. I used to hate GNOME but now I prefer it over KDE.
The install is much easier, pretty much just point and click. It's as easy as Windows if not easier.
The hardest part is deciding on Ubuntu(GNOME) or Kubuntu(KDE). I think you would like either.
"Or are they hindering the War on Terror?"
Europe is far closer to the terrorists than the US, I'm sure they are going to do whatever they can to protect themselves. The US has oceans thousands of miles wide on either side to protect it, a terrorist could walk to European country.
What about one country controlling a World-wide resource?
It's better to work together than to fight. Being xenophobic never fixed any problem I know of.
Maybe nothing at all but then maybe someone else (a mix of nations) could do even better.
How many Smoots in a Thrips?
Firefox? I think you mean IceWeasel didn't you get the memo?
