Banks. I talk to my bank quite a bit, have they ever asked to encript email messages, NO! Should they YES.
Same reason we need encription on http.
Also if everyone SIGNED there message (which I USED to do, untill I moved Endure) email born viruses would not exist (to the degree they do now, your'll still get some fool who opens unsigned email or will type there password when they should not)

SMIME, and Outlook. It's dam easy to set up and free to get a key (and a nice button on Outlook). No, the reason people don't use it is there is little point, not even my BANK recomends sending emails with personal data encripted!
(alas not all email clients or mail servers support S/MIME yet)
But I've only found one "free software" package which is up to scrach with it's windows counterparts (in easy to install etc), and thats Apache Tomcat, and that needs some work.:)
HTML with CSS does have all the page layout stuff, but it's a bugger to move about (being multiaple files). xHTML w/ embeded CSS & images would be idea.

Yes, very much so.

I did not say GNU/Linux, I said Linux, i.e. the kernel.
Linux is just the kernel.
As to "GNU HURD is the same as GNU LINUX", there is the GNU System, which currently uses Linux, but can use HURD. The GNU System (Of which the most popular version of is GNU/Linux) is a GNU Kernel, plus the GNU tools (GNU/ls, GNU/make etc), the X windowing system and TeX (plus some other stuff). This is why Stallman etc insists on calling Linux "GNU/Linux"; he is on about the complete system, not just the Linux kernel. So GNU HURD and GNU Linux are the same system, it's just the GNU system does not depend any one kernel.
If this is a new OS really depends on what you consider "an OS", it will use the Linux kernel, and the GNU tool set, that is a BIG old chunk of the GNU System, but then it does not use X (woot, note to none-X-bashers I like X, in it's place;) so it's not a GNU System.
So, in conclusion it IS Linux, but not (as you rightly said) GNU/Linux, and GNU/Linux, while not the same as GNU/HURD are both GNU System, which I did not clam this new system to be.
How is OBOS dead? Have you been to the site, it's newsletter is updated every two weeks and the CVS is updated multiply times a day.
This BeOS API on Linux will not stop me from contiuning OBOS, and I dought it'll stop many other OBOS devs. We choose NOT to use the Linux kernal for a good reason, and have know about other Linux-based ports for some time (BlueOS).
> Forget about linux on the desktop, my votes going to BeOS. This _IS_ Linux "for the desktop". Linux == kernal BeOS == dead this == OpenSource port of BeOS API's on Linux kernal, imo Linux for the desktop.
At this rate the BeOS APIs could become the POSIX for advanced "extras" like GUI, node watching etc, which would be great! IF properly maintained.
It will not do anything. It does not stop it, and they would be better of focusing efforts on more productive avenues, but hey it's a step in the right direction.

Have you tried Outlook, and it's S/MIME, it's quite good (alas the rest out Outlook gets on my nerves :)
Bugger, ment Passport. :(
I am serverly DYSLIX.
Therefor I can not spell.

true, but you need work out a way of getting a digital ID thingy. :-)
I guess MS could include it with Password
Your email client *should* do that for you, but o/c due to the fact no of the front ends are any good, they dont :)

I did my dissatation on goBe (on BeOS, r2), it's a dam good product.

This _IS_ Linux "for the desktop".
Linux == kernal
BeOS == dead
this == OpenSource port of BeOS API's on Linux kernal, imo Linux for the desktop.

BeOS has some X ports, so I guess this Linuxed Be will.
Be DOES NOT own BeOS
Palm do.
Palm want to sell BITS of BeOS, in PalmOS.
Yeap :)
I could not think of a diffent bank.
Which is Suns first 1GHz 64Bit workstation then?
