I got tired of movies turning out to be yet another copy of "Little Nicky" - I swear, *THAT* has to be the most pirated movie of all time. I thought I was getting 5 other full length feature films, but nooOOoo.. I was getting more copies of "Little Nicky." Adam Sandler would be pissed off if he knew how many times that movie has been grabbed off the net.
And porno flicks? Bah. Every 'effin keyword they can think of, they'll use to describe a stupid short clip promoting some website.
I went old school - getting verified good stuff from friends.:P
All these other plugins are just fluff if adoption is severely hampered by the lack of a fully functional calendar.
Build the calendar, and they will come.. come away from Outlook. It *can* happen.
Calendar should be #1 priority right now.. mail & news is great, the browser is great.. but the lack of a calendar *really is stopping people* from switching. At least with the dozens of small businesses that I do consulting for, it is.
I cannot emphasize this enough - a lot of small businesses (without exchange) stick to Outlook because of the pretty pointy clicky calendar.
"sunbird" isn't even close. The Mozilla Calendar is waay far off.
I was moving from Sacramento, CA to Walnut Creek, CA (About 80 miles) so I took the Sparc 5 out of the rack, very carefully untangled the UPS, put them both in the truck and drove like hell to the new location. I made it to my location and up several flights of stairs.. plugging the UPS in with very little time left.
Later that night, some drunk asshole creamed a power pole and cut out power to the entire neighborhood for 5 hours. The UPS just didn't last...
Very true. I don't know why Apple isn't working on something like that - or the open source community hasn't put even more weight behind such projects. Kind of a bummer, but.. what can ya do? =/
"because it really is the best mail/contact/calendar (integrated PIM) available for Windows."
That's the sad part - I have been yelling loudly at the Mozilla people (every one of them I can find!) to bust ASS on the Calendar - but instead, they gruffle about the default theme for Firefox. Sigh.
Otherwise, Outlook is a clumsy pain in the ass. It's a dreadful IMAP client, and it still has the PST headache (Outlook 2003, too) - blah. We have 2 users that *refuse* to get off Outlook. =/
I worked as a stagehand years ago and quite often had trouble getting decent work because I wasn't Union. The union guys were making at least $20/hr *more* than I was at the time (90's)
I'd wager thatn $75,000/yr is for an entry-level Grip/Best Boy these days.
Depends on where you are. According to an SBC guy I talked to - On the West coast, T-Mobile uses Cingular's network. Cingular is going to take over the existing AT&T Wireless network for their own purposes.

"strap electrodes to my balls and lock me in an underground machine shop in the middle of the Tora Bora."
:P
There are people that would probably pay to have that done.. and a whole other set that would pay to see it on the Internet.

No, it's NOT "just as good" - it's a buggy piece of crap that can't even recognize its own invitations.
*Serious* work needs to be done on the calendar.

Come on, guys... let's dooooo it!
Make everything so ass backwards and broken that even if someone did get in, they couldn't do anything useful anyway. :D
I think someone should find out. Clearly Senator Hatch is suffering from some severe mental issues. I worry about his health.
(That's a polite way of saying "Geez, this guy is a fucking nutcase.")
Him and Falwell should get together and try to ban the Teletubbies or something equally useless.

Leech away.
here is another mirror, on what is probably a much much faster pipe. :)
(could only squeeze 48K/sec off your school..)
The Anti-Gentoo zealots always say stuff like "It's not going to be faster.." etc etc..
:P
Now someone is saying: "precompiled binaries will never run as quickly as those compiled with the right optimizations for your own machine."
So, the Gentoo users that are claiming that stuff compiled with the right optimizations *is* faster?
I'm confused. Which is it supposed to be? Are Gentoo users full of crap, or are they correct?
I use Gentoo and have found things to be a hell of a lot easier to deal with than RPM based binary distros anyway.
I just want the scoop.
Oh, distcc has been in Gentoo for a while.. surprised to see it listed like it's a new thing.
Got one sitting at work - rack ear is munged up, but with a little "work" I think that I can get it in.
Those rails are pretty evil. heh.

That was so damn funny.. I just spewed beer all over my PowerBook. Dammit...
God, you Slashdot rookies really need to get out more.
:P
You missed the Spinal Tap reference.
That should have been +5, Funny - because damn it, it was funny. heh.

Do you know a student? Do you live near a school? Can you FIND a school?

The educational pricing for OS X Server is quite nice - and is a great alternative for those that just want to "use it at home"
Do you *really* want to throw away a presidental vote on *Nader* and give Bush & co the White House for another 4 years? I hope not!
Voting green/whatever is great - but START LOCALLY. Vote in a Green mayor. Congressmen. Local representitives. Don't just go for the big ones...
Act locally.
Really - if they can "pay off" a lawsuit in such a fashion, then why can't the citizens that they're suing?
Seems only fair, right?
Nutra-Sweet or Aspartame.
Coke C2 is absolutely disgusting.
Try Coke from Japan or Mexico - it's not as sweet and doesn't have that "bite" to it.
Well, in a way..
AT&T Wireless bought out Cellular One in the SF Bay Area - the changeover was a bloody nightmare.
Now Cingular is buying AT&T Wireless. So, they kinda got Cellular One that way.
Oh, and SunCom.
Depends on where you are.

We have people that can't manage to get across town without getting into an accident.

Can you imagine soccer mom's private spacecraft, with her using one hand to hold the cell phone and the other to beat the kids?
We still need to get aircraft to stop running into fixed objects.. and each other!
Holy cow, 7.4K/sec if I'm lucky. And that's from a very lightly used T1. 14 hours left.. ugh.
Anybody have a US mirror of this ISO yet?
