I think this depends on where in the USA you are. I think it is California Casual versus New England Suits. Out West we dress less formal, but back East formal is required.
AjaxWrite is behind the times. There are plenty of better online Wordprocessors. There is now a free remote KDE desktop that you can access from your browser or from a client. OpenOffice is available online at Cosmopod, so why use a half finished product.
Are we nothing more than gene machines, controled by our genes determined from the distant past? It seems like the implications of several of the genetic articles I have recently read. It seems to be the mechanistic assumption of many of the scientists studying our genes. Are they correct to assume this?
They have stopped taking new users for now. They say that "while we're moving Writely to Google's software architecture, we're closing off new registrations." The integration will take time and effort, and the last thing they need is to be dealing with tons of new users wanting to be a part of the latest Google thing. That was a wise move.
I wonder if the person is a Christian or is someone just having fun at the expense of Christians. There is no reason to use Anonymous Coward name to protect one's identity in this case. Anonymous Coward designation always makes me wonder if what is said is for real. In this case since there is not reason to protect one's identity, I really wonder.
I have been impressed with Airset. They are aiming to be more than just a calendar. They have other PIM features too. They have a recent deal with Verizon Wireless so that your phone can share the calendars, etc. I like the sharing of calendars so that I can know wife's schedule and be able to better coordinate activities with her.
Any ISP could use NX (from NoMachine [nomachine.com]) to create a "Desktop on the Internet". NX makes X Windows and/or MS Windows fast, so that an ISP could set up servers and serve a remote desktop over the Internet. NX uses ssh so it is secure and the ISP could provide encrypted disk space. All the needed applications would be on the ISP server. The PC would become a thin client. The ISP could provide a way to rsync all the changes back to your PC if a storage medium was available (hard disk, usb flash drive,...). The only disadvantage of NX is that it does require a client program.
This slashdot story says, the French Department of Culture have told Free Software authors: "You will be required to change your licenses." And "You shall stop publishing free software," and warn they are ready "to sue free software authors who will keep on publishing source code" should a bill proposal passes in the Parliament.
Well I am a couple of days late in commenting on this article but these concerns of India are nothing new. I work in Atmospheric Science. Back in the 1970's, there was an international field experiment studying the monsoon. The research aircraft had a military officer aboard to make certain when the aircraft was flying over land all data collection was turned off. Also when the first global composites of geosynchronous statellite images were produced, there was a band of missing data where the Indian meteorological satellite collected the data. Ridiculous as it was, in both cases security concerns were given for the lack of data. Thankfully today they are more sharing of data, but I think the mindset still exists there.
I would say okay the telco can do this, if the telco informs the user everytime a page/video loads that the telco has limitted loading speed of the page/video or degraded images on the the page/video. Users need to be aware of what is happening. Also all their advertisements have to explain how the telco requires payment from other internet companies for the faster service. People need to aware of the money and the whole story.
I think if they are forced to be totally transparent, they will think twice and other companies (cable or wireless) can advertise that they don't do that. I can see ads that say "Slow internet, use ours and get the maximum speed for any site."

Jon Udell has an
interestingidea
of reinventing the office suite for a networked world. He says it should include "service orientation, peer-to-peer capability, workflow, federated identity, and new ways to query and visualize data." With the source code, someone could develop a system that could improve inter-company communication and collaboration using Open Office. We need to think 21st century.
The earliest evidence for life is 3.8 billion years ago. The time the earth cooled to form solid mantle is about 4.0 billions years ago. (Or to go further back the earth formed about 4.3-4.5 billion years ago.) Was about 200 million years enough time for simple life, which is really not very simple, to evolve and then survive during the meteorite bombardment that was happening then?
I think this is a big problem for the current theory. Panspermia pushes this problem off earth and gives the possibility of enough time for random chance to allow simple life to form. I still think this theory and other ideas evolutionists have with the orgins of life are too improbable.
The author says, "When should you use a Firefox Extension? Only when you must." He suggests that if you can do it on the web page using DHTML, AJAX, or even XUL, that is the way you should do it. Extension writing is to be used when there are no other options.
As a Coloradoan who has watched, DIA open and get going, the thing that struck me most of all was the planners expected everything to work perfectly. There was no backup plan for when baggage system failed, so people were scrambling to create one so DIA could open. The first time the train failed (which is rarely), there was a mad scramble to get some buses so that people could catch their planes. The first monster snow storm showed that that the airport could remain open, but the road to the airport closed. I see a failure of planning at DIA.
This abuse of the Internet to sow hatred and terrorism will mean that governments will monitor the Internet much more closely, and will close down any web sites and stop any activities that are potentially dangerous. The Wild West Period of the Internet is definitely ending. There will be things you can and can not do. Like it or not the rule of law will be enforced with increasing strictness. (It is just like us humans to abuse a good thing.)
can be held liable for writing software that can be used for copyright infringement. I wonder if email programs like Outlook should be included. Maybe Microsoft should be found liable for copyright infringement. Or Mozilla for Thunderbird. Oh no, browsers can download copyrighted material so there is liability there too. It is a crazy proposal.
With regards to Open Source Software, Microsoft does not speak with one voice. Some at Microsoft say that Microsoft wants to work with the OSS community, while others when they speak propagate falsehoods about Open Source. It seems like people at Microsoft are working at cross purposes. Is there an official stance on dealing with Open Source and the community, and how is Microsoft trying to speak with only one voice?
This interview and Atheist Richard Carrier's article
explains that the world famous now former atheist Antony Flew believes in a non-interfering creator. Creator may be too strong of a word for him. First cause might be better. His god is a minimal god, but it is the complexity of life, especially DNA, that caused him to acknowledge that science can not explain the origins of life. But here is a someone, a famous atheist, that is now convinced that there is some Intellegent Design.
Meanwhile, Maglio began to investigate what systems administrators actually do. He found that they spent between 60 and 90 percent of their time communicating with other systems administrators about systems issues.
Whew! I am glad that they equate reading Slashdot with communicating.

Sony is RootKit. This is really bad for Sony.
