1) allow me to purge old mail messages automatically from a folder after they get to a certain age (essential if you are reading high volume mailing lists)
The real reason it died is likely the one I predicted back when UnitedLinux announced it's existence: It was trying to solve the same problems already better solved by Debian.
At work, I have no computer, nobody to talk to, and my rounds are 2 miles long, and I do at least 8 rounds a shift. If it's icy, they don't want me driving the patrol truck and nobody else shows up to work, so I get to walk my rounds and if I get hurt, nobody will know until the next shift comes on and starts looking for me after I don't come back to the shack after my rounds. It's also pretty loud (tractor and truck shop, always engines the size of my apartment running someplace on site, and a major international airport that shares runways with a state air force base is just across the slough.
Dangerous working conditions, low pay and practically no benefits. So much for the labor movement.
SUVs aren't the problem. As you demonstrate, the problem lies with the driver. If you know your vehicle's abilities and you know your abilities, you shouldn't get into trouble. If you've never used 4WD before, get some tow straps and a friend who knows what they're doing to go take you off-roading some time for fun so you have the skills before you need them. Trust me, it helps. Consider reading your vehicle's manual mandatory, it will tell you things like if you need to back up to unlock the hubs when shifting to 2WD, and that shift on the fly means 15 MPH or less (as opposed to a dead stop).
Crack is not equal to marijuana. Weed grows in most every climate, even a closet with a lamp. It's also cheaper, less addictive than caffiene and the worst thing it's users are prone to do is get up, walk to Plaid Pantry, and buy some munchies (I live across the street from a Plaid, I see it all the time. Granted, I live in Portland where it seems everybody just gets high and goes to bed at 9PM the way everything just shuts down at night. You can walk down the middle of Burnside Street (the main drag through town) at midnight on most weeknights and not get hit). If anything, marijuana supports the service economy. You will never get mugged in a back alley for marijuana money.
Get your ISP to install a transparentadzappingsquid. Imagine how much faster the net will run if everybody did this: All of the content, none of the ads, and the most common web traffic handled mostly by local proxy hits.
When will people realize that this is so easily fixable with Squid and Adzapper? Why aren't ISPs doing this (as well as virus scanning email the right way) already? Are they afraid they will lose customers by doing the right thing or something?
Trains like the TGV or ICE have proven that it was feasible to run such a service at up to 320km/h, please passengers (most of the time), have no major impact on the environment AND be profitable.
Considering the recent ice storm in Portland, I think steep hills and icy roads would really add to the GTA experience. Would also pretty much beg the introduction of bicycles and skateboards to the game.
The whole concept of "fault" is to decide who wasn't paying attention and should have been.
That being said, I think California should make it harder to obtain a driver's license and enforce actually having one to begin with before deciding what people are allowed to do while driving. While living in Los Angeles, my family had a car totalled by a Mexican border jumper who ran into it parked on the shoulder in front of our house. LAPD's response was, "Well, we can't charge him, he doesn't have a driver's license or insurance, have a nice life, fuck off." And you can make anybody from neighboring states raise their blood pressure by mentioning Californian drivers...man they're terrable.

Do you want to keep track of your eBay auctions? Instead of five e-mails per auction, all scattered throughout your inbox, you would have a single flag in the control panel. Discussion groups? The control panel would show when hot topics of interest to you are being discussed and would call attention to discussions with contributions by writers you particularly respect.
It's almost 2004, and this guy still doesn't know about Procmail and what a kill file is?
E-mail? Restricted to truly personal communication. Newsletters, intranet status reports, and other nonletter communications would be summarized and available for perusal on request.
Manufacturers are (quite rightfully) only concerned with how well it works for most people out there. If it works alright in testbed (usually a Debian, sometimes a Red Hat-based-distro box in general, not sure what nVidia uses for theirs), it ships.
Manufacturers can't and shouldn't be held accountable for changes local to a specific distro or host. Deal with it.
At least you get five choices taken semi-seriously. The states, only two parties get taken very seriously, which is ironic considering they're the two joke choices. One party with no stand on the issues whatsoever, exactly like the major opposing party but makes a feeble effort to do the right thing; and another party that still thinks we're in the early 1900s and sells out shamelessly to the highest bidder. Americans: Vote Walt Brown for President in '04.

When, if ever, will there be a clear "winner" between Gnome and KDE for the average desktop?
Remind me again when it wasn't KDE? Gnome's great, and I'm not knocking it, but KDE seems to have a more universal appeal.
No shit. It's not like in Airplane, people. A blonde flight attendant and a blow up doll cannot land a 727. No matter how much you want to believe that can work.
You want experienced pilots that can get the job done, and right the first time. You screw up landing at PDX on an icy day and you're the last flight in before they close the airport because of the weather, you're going into the river, no second chance. Or you end up circling Portland and sacrificing your life to save your passengers.
Go get yourself Kopete.
Then, change ~/.kde/share/config/kopeterc . Here's the snippet (the [MSN] part is already there, just scroll down to it and add the second line)
First off, realise that treating the symptoms doesn't work. This means that C/R is considered harmful, as is address munging. It is still possible in this day and age to stay sane with just one email address without spamtrapping.
Procmail is your friend. Use it. In conjunction with SpamAssassin, you can filter it off to a folder to go send to SpamCop at your earliest convienence. While SpamCop officially discourages doing so, setting your mail server to reject based on the RBL bl.spamcop.net will save you some work (and money if you're a SpamCop member) by prohibiting mail from sites already reported by several people.
I use exim in conjunction with sa-exim to reject spam that scores high with Spamassassin, and to teergrube the luser. Since I'm the postmaster, I also have sa-exim give all the sa-exim rejected spam to my spam folder to report as well.
I have roughly 30 users. Almost all of them use my site for mail, since doing so is extremely spam hostile thanks to me, with very little inconvienence, if any, to legitimate mailers, which is the way it should be.
On an aside, I also use abuse.net's forwarding service to report hosts infected with viruses to their ISPs. I've been fairly successful, though it could be better. Roughly one third of the ISPs I contact suspend or terminate the user's account for it. I also maintain a net-lsearchable list of the last relay such infected messages go through before hitting my server. Feel free to use it for yourself, it's on my website.

Mutt will do this with folder-hooks.
2) Single key (space bar) navigation down each message, unread messages in folder, over all folders (except trash)
Mutt will do this easily, just rebind the keys.

I wanna see anybody take the Sunset Highway in a 3-star chase into downtown in ice, in GTA: Rose City. :-)

Isn't that why Procmail and SpamAssassin exist?
IM would have a small role, but your personal agent would be very strict at screening incoming requests.
Unless you're a complete moron completely lacking self-control, odds are you set yourself do-not-disturb when you're managing a lot of state.

Lest you forget, Hewlett-Packard is a major sponsor of The Debian Project.
Because when Microsoft finally releases Longhorn in 2005, barring further delay, you'll really see something mediocre released.
