  1. Re:Mos Def and Martin Freeman? on Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trailer · · Score: 1

    Martin Freeman is not a rapper!

  2. Re:undefined symbol: _ZNK7QString3argExii on KDE 3.2 Alpha 1 Finally on FTP · · Score: 1

    I got that, Googled for it and found a reference to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It should be pointing to your qt 3.2 lib directory. Anyway, I installed qt 3.2 separately first and then said QT_ALREADY_INSTALLED = yes and it worked (or at least got passed that error). I've got other compiler errors now.

  3. Re:One feature I want... on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.2 Released · · Score: 1

    One problem with doing that: MAPI properties. All the "rich" (i.e. non-IMAP) data is exchanged between OL and Exchange using MAPI calls passing properties. OL supports MAPI and can deal with those properties.

    I'd like to see a Thunderbird Extension attempt this - that would be a nice project. At least be able to "accept/deny" meetings, do voting etc.

  4. Re:One feature I want... on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Best non-stop shopping client? I admit it does do calendering and scheduling but, email?

    Outlook doesn't do the following well:

    - no threaded mail view
    - awful wizard for mail filters
    - nasty "views" paradigm
    - type-down addressing is clumsy and can only find a match in the first address book it finds it in
    - doesn't show the email address when it finds an address in the addr book, just shows the full name (argh!)
    - clumsy and confusing "offline" mode

    and more...

    Thunderbird, Mozilla Mail and Netscape Mail were always a breath of fresh air but don't/didn't do calendaring (which was their downfall IMHO).

  5. Not to start an argument on Unintended Aural Consequences of MP3 Compression · · Score: 1

    but that stuff about removing parts of the music the brain can't hear is complete crap. You can hear it, just not on the crappy equipment that most people use. MP3 is a lossy compression algrorithm which means you lose all sorts of dynamics and nuances that you *can* hear on halfway decent mid-fi gear. So there.
