  1. Re:nice,but... on Google Pages Launches · · Score: 1

    Have you checked out Blojsom (Java based) or Bloxsom (Perl based). I had similar requirements to you a year or so back and either one of those hit the spot quite nicely.

  2. Re:Warning: rant ahead on Two Megapixel Cameraphone Shootout · · Score: 1

    Most Nokia phones have such a nested phone book. Personally, I'd recommend the 6310i which doesn't have any of the camera rubbish, just a basic phone and a very long battery (>2weeks in my experience). I'm not sure how worldwidely it's available but it is certainly in the UK/Europe.

    HTH.

  3. Re:Irony on Moving To Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    There is a very interesging article about teaching complete newbies a command line interface before a GUI. They found that people understand more in less time. A couple of reasons for this is that they aren't required to multi-task (only one thing happens at once) and it is easier to explain what is happening using simpler analagies.

    Once the users undertand the basics of what they are doing it is a lot easier to move to a GUI which is more cluttered with multiple ways of achieving the same goal.

  4. google snapshot on Odeon Orders Takedown Of Copycat Site · · Score: 1

    Google still has a cache of some of the original pages before they were taken down. It clearly states that this is not the official Odeon site and that all information and images are copyright of Odeon.

  5. Two tier email system on E-Mail Controls in Office 2003 · · Score: 1

    Is this going to be the start of "two tier emails"? i.e. those that any email client can read and those that only an MS approved/DRM enabled client can read? Surely this is a _bad_ thing? I don't want to have to read some of my emails with one client and some with another!

    What are the implications for those running email clients on other platforms? Are MS going to make viewers available for Linux?
