From what I have noticed the 'mail icon' and any mailto links open up in your system defined mail client. If its thunderbird then you are golden, I have Lotus Notes, so its a P.I.T.A:)
Agreed. The best way for a Telco to survive is to offer voIP as a service. Which is what Bell is going to do shortly. In fact their service is even going to be offered no matter what Internet (at least Cable) provide you use in Canada. Like Rogers internet but want Bell voIP, no problem. Sounds like they got some techie guys working in decision making positions at Bell.
Others have said it, but I guess you missed it. Java is a tool, for a specific type of problem. If you need to do funtional programming then don't use this tool. If you need to print out a statement to stdout, then don't use Java its overkill.
Really? In Canada at least the contractors get paid MORE then a reg of the same job, because IBM doesn't have to spend money on benefits. The stock purchase plan has not been cut, and nor have any of the retirement programs. What they have done is changed overtime to be straight time, and made one single 24 shift for on-call, with a lower pay than the old per-shift rate.
Yes you should be happy to do it, if you were a happy employee. Simply outline that while they want you to innovate, to give your all for the company, to make them better than their competitors, then they should be willing to do the same for you.
Tell them that if they treat you 'competitively' to what other companies are doing, then you will either work as hard as other employees or find a company that treats you better than they do.
We are going through the same thing here, and there is nothing worse than cutting back on employee benefits, pay, and perks and justifying it by saying 'we are doing what everyone else is doing'.
Away from Sun Brrrr won't it get even colder here. What am I talkin about the Big Smoke is warm, and we are the only part of the country that matters;)
I disagree. I started watching on Space in Canada sometime during the second last season. I was watching episodes as they aired and in re-runs, and although I was thoroughly confused I kept watching because it intrigued me. After the series was cancelled I spent a lot of bandwidth downloading the episodes via bittorrent. Watched them all, and was very angry at the way the series left off.:) But I was not a fan at the beginning and joined after a season or two.
I think you missed the posters point. The reason brail is on the Drive-Thru machines is cost reasons. If they only have to stock,order,manufacture,track one type of keyboard rather than it is cheaper. I worked on a banking project in Canada during the merge of two banks. They had dozens of different machines what did they do, just bought all new machines for each location. It is just easier to have one machine type for different situations.
"But I can order one from home with a couple of mouse-clicks!"
He didn't have much of an answer for that. I drove on to Best Buy and got the Pavilion.
What kind of answer do you want? a)It wasn't a question. b) As the salesperson told you The store is so that customers can come in and try the machines out and match their needs to the PC. c) You could try out the computer find you like it, go home and order it. You were clueless to what a Gateway store was, and I guess got embarassed by it.
and a quick email to the developer's mailing list and they're likely to see a beta version of the requested features
Seriously? I have had a few experiences with OS maintainers and its generally the opposite. They do what they do for what they need and no one elses. However, thats a small segment sampling, so perhaps you are right. But RH certainly isnt like that.
A large company often doesn't find the 'time' involved in setting up and working with open source solutions is worth the savings. So, by the time that company is huge and they start to care about how much each upgrade costs, the amount of time and energy required to retrain the entire workforce is insurmountable.
Or you are so big the money is minor to moderate and you are so huge you can change over entire divisions without impacting a global (or even country) wide co-workers. And you have a plan. A plan is key. You start small migrating old mainframe applications to the web so you don't have to deal with backwards compatibility....the web or java. And then you have what ? The answer IBM.
Exactly. Joe the Pimp could have somebody with a WiFi backpack walking around collecting wireless info his 'workers' are uploading, and its entirely off the net. Enable encryption and its much harder for the police to get at your data. It's actually a pretty good idea for people who want the convenince of a lan/internet but don't actually need to get at the internet. Right now I see bandwidth a major bottleneck, but the times they are a changing.
I am guessing it would be the heaven you had in mind. Multiple forks, feuding camps, a veritable holy-war, which the Linux Newbie PenPoint customers do not understand, and are only left with questions and no answers.
Reliability is the main reason indeed. EEC RAM, better hds, better components. Fits standard rackmounts, easily, without having to order it in pieces and assemble it yourself in your garage.

...the Path and the sheer volumes of people passing through it, but I had the same idea.
you dont have to pay them if your spouse gets benefits, which seems to be why most of the contractors are contractors and enjoy being contractors.
It depends. Going down will be very fuel efficent.
Actually its much faster, all they have to render is black.

Let their problem, be your solution!
Out damn spot, out!
Ok I will buy your giant gerbil ball, but I will not, repeat will not sleep in my food dish.
Ok try running at full tilt, then turning 90 degrees smart guy. :)
Except in the case of .... oh.
NOW you tell me. Anyone wanna buy a moon satellite, emergency sale, very low price!

Great just what I need, my gf telling me I need to 'wrap it' before touching her computer too!
And No! not to your dungeons and dragons meeting, or a Furbiecon.
