But I often WANT to delete certain messages. Sometimes I want to read them (like junk email I've signed-up for), but after I do so, I want to delete them, forever and ever. It's a common task, and I'm surprised the geniuses at Google can't seem to get that common tasks should be easily accesible, like with a BUTTON instead of a drop-down list.
Deleting a message is a common task, and that paradigm isn't going to change, regardless of how much space they give me.
And while we're talking about the drop-down list, why is the "Move to trash" right below the "Add star" button - I've added a star accidently many times I wanted to move a message to the trash.

>If you install Greasemonkey,
Thanks for that tip, I'll check it out.
However, I really think it would just great if we didn't have to install a hack to do something as basic as deleting an email with one button. I mean if the GMail team *truly* watched people use email I suspect they would find out that "delete" is something people do commonly, even with GMail.

How about GMail bringing back the good old DELETE button that we're all accustomed to instead of have it hidden in a drop down list. Sometimes different isn't better... sometimes we really do just want to DELETE something.
People using Dreamweaver aren't going to switch over to ANYTHING remotely resembling "ttree" and use Perl to pre-process their HTML... OMFG, I'M ROTFLM - phew, that was a lot of acronyms.
However, IMNSHO, there is nothing that comes close to Dreamweaver (and it's templating) in the FOSS world that I've found. NVU, which is an excellent tool is about as close as I've seen.
As much of a raging POS as dreamweaver is, it still remains popular for that reason.
For anything beyond a few pages, I'm finding PHP and CSS to be the way to go, but then again, I code by hand with a text editor.
*I* said it was "like/similar" to logo - *I* never advertised anything. The company selling it makes the claims you mentioned - and FWIW they are correct there as well. I am a customer - not the developer.
Ceebot3 uses the logo notion of drawing using a syntax like java/c++/c#: penup();pendown();move(5);
Ceebot4 has more advanced things to do with the robot, and it's A LOT of fun.
The Ceebot3 is like logo, only 3d and better and Ceebot4 is even better. Really, check these tools out, there is a free demo that gives you a LOT to work with.
I'm fairly certain that in an emergency you can use whatever mode of transmitting you like in any segment of the band. I'm not certain of this, but I'm sure someone here can tell us for sure.
Regardless, I would think that CW would be the best mode of operation due to the fact that you could use less transmitting power (and conserve your battery) and still get through.
I see you mentioned the O'reilly books - they are the best. I found Unix Power Tools and System Administration (Alein Frisch, sp?) to be the best books you can buy.
As far as online course, I haven't found any worth a sh*t.
A few years ago my ex-company, which lived on the bleeding edge, adopted VOIP. It sucked. People sounds like aliens. Our customers were turned off and complained. Eventually we went back to regular old phone service, while more expensive, actually worked.
I recently called d-link tech-support, I suspected they were using VOIP because the audio quality sucked. I actually asked the tech guy and he said yes, they were using VOIP and everyone hated it but the company was holding fast on it.
So my question is, if VOIP sucked back a few years ago, and still sucks now, why adopt it? Does anyone like it? Is the savings worth the fact that your customers don't like and your employees don't like it?

In Soviet Russia, comet probe DEFORMS YOU!
With today being July 4'th, and with this great accomplishment, it's time for a rousing chorus of:
America, FUCK YEAH!!!
A positive review, now we can all go see the movie...
Please, as if we weren't going to see it anyway.
I've yet to find a movie critic with whom I agree with often enough to actually avoid a movie based on their review.
See the damn movie, make up your own mind 'eh.
The typoGenerator.net web server will look like a steaming pile of slashdot-art in the next few hours.
Not... working... real... well.. at... the... moment...
The cell companies just haven't jumped on the "everything is free" bandwagon that made the Internet so profitable yet.
And who-the-f*ck is stupid enough to subscribe to "custom ring tones"?
So it's a better solution for you - nothing wrong with that.
However it's hardly a solution for like everyone who is a dreamweaver user.
and the authors suggestion to use Perl is better then PHP and HTML in what way?

to see BG's machine craps out when he needs it the most just like mine does when I do.
Unfortunately for me, I don't have anyone to fire.
Look, I'm apparently not getting through to you - I think I've been pretty clear and you manage to completely miss the point.
This should be clear enough:
DOWNLOAD IT YOURSELF AND TRY IT!
K?

Like I said, try it out for yourself.
ceebot3 is "like" logo - however it's syntax is similar to C++ and Java.
Try it out, you'll see what I'm talking about.
I HIGHLY recommend the Ceebot tool(s) at www.ceebot.com
The Ceebot3 is like logo, only 3d and better and Ceebot4 is even better. Really, check these tools out, there is a free demo that gives you a LOT to work with.

"now that eBay has purchased 25% of craigslist"
Must of got caught up in the heat of the auction, I heard they only wanted 20%.
Whoop's.

Episode IV was incredible. I was blown away by it when it came out.
But by the time VI came out, it had a very Police Academy IV thing going on.
Let's hope Episode III is good..
