Now that Lotus have integrated OpenOffice into Notes 8 Standard and are also pushing Symphony, they are the ones with the incentive to ensure the OO momentum is maintained (not to mention ODF).
We have a clustered 8.0 setup running on SUSE. Two suse versions are always supported so we were able to transition from Domino 6.5 to 7 to 8 and SUSE 8 to 9 to 10 without leaving a supported config.
Now, in order to get the most out of a document management system, we're looking at Exchange. 2007, fair enough, looks better than its predecessors, but it sure as hell doesn't run on SUSE. Domino, of course, runs on Windows.
When B5 got into its stride, DS9 got into the story arc business and largely out of the NG inherited planet of the week plot.
While not a classic series - how could it be with the incessant mood swings of Avery Brooks and almost everything involving Quark or Jake Sisko - it had some periods approaching greatness (Improbable Cause/The Die Is Cast, Call To Arms/A Time to Stand). But then Babylon 5 disappeared onto TNT and DS9's writers had several brain farts (such as Ezri Dax and Vic Fontaine) and that was that.
Who's going to keep Moore and Eick from making Caprica a Bionic Woman sized disaster?
Firefox still ships as an.exe, not a Mozilla branded MSI, despite one being requested in January 2004 (bug 231062). Despite being listed as P1 for FF3 there's no sign of it yet.
There is an MSI linked from Mozilla pages, but it is not a Mozilla MSI. With all respect to Frontmotion for the work they have done, if I'm bringing an MSI inside my firewall it has to say Mozilla on it.
Reaching IE's integration level would be beyond most companies but Firefox's level barely reaches baby steps.

Blackberry posted a technote which says voice calls can be affected after certain media files are played. 4.5 fixes that. We haven't installed it on the few 8830s we have yet though.
Rogers Wireless has OS4.5 for 8310 but the devices we are receiving still have 4.2 as they have obviously been in the supply chain awhile. We just load 4.5 as we get them.
Documents To Go also comes along with 4.5, which is nice. Blackberry Maps still blows - Google Maps FTW (especially now stuff like Street View is included)
At least hosting yourself you have some control over any DMCA notices. Look at how the Scientologists have gone after critical youtube videos recently.
sometimes it can be a quirk of the dropdown. I recently modded a comment I found funny "overrated" because my mouse slipped - there's no "sure?" option! Needless to say I have been using the mod dialog with more care since.
why is testing 1% somehow okay? How is USDA snake oil more acceptable than Creekstone's?
The USDA seems to me to be operating in the vein of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal - i.e. if it's not testing, the animals aren't sick. If one day it turns out that the 1% were imperfectly selected to expose wider BSE exposure (not impossible given the mix of private sector vice and public sector indifference), there could and should be hell to pay.
Of course, Firefox 3 isn't either - *if* you include standards it hasn't got to yet.
As for time horizons - half a year from when? FF3 only went gold on June 17! We get a toolbar from Newsgator which they initially refused to fix a bug until there was an RC rather than a beta. Fortunately they did fix and ship the xpi but that's a small project compared to a CMS!
However, as we've previously seen with the Suite and Thunderbird, Mozilla can do no wrong on Slashdot when it comes to casting loose products which both individuals and businesses depend on. Meanwhile god help Gates and Ballmer if they talk about ending Windows XP support.
Back when PCs came preloaded, there wasn't Lotus Symphony, Paint.NET, GIMP, Thunderbird etc. There was Lotus 1-2-3, Photoship, WinFax and Eudora - all pay-to-use, and later on crippled versions for "free". If you couldn't pay, the only alternative was piracy.
Open Source gives the freedom NOT to use pirated material.
Mozilla should securely maintain the 2.x codestream for a decent interval rather than scaremonger into 3.x
3.x does not render our intranet as 2.x does and while our developers are working on a fix, the fact is it severely affects user experience in the interim. 3.x is only out a short time and we should not be expected to cut-over this quickly.
Jeez, you should join the Seinfeld team pimping Vista COZ OMG TEH XP IZ DANGEROUS!!
Presumably you had some input into where you went on honeymoon. This isn't a trip which someone else is making you go on but you picked a place the train takes four days to get to. FAIL.
Since the road would likely be paved with standard concrete anyway, the net effect is likely minor. Unless the concrete plant is in the vicinity, minor = irrelevant - politically anyway.
I would be more interested in the statement "green bricks" - is that in colour as well as pollutant effect? I'm wondering how the road markings contrast on a green colour background.

Think of it like the Canadarm, but a phone :)
Not because they don't deserve to rot in hell for the bloat that is NAV, but because they just bought Messagelabs.

Runs fine at my company with half a gig and a celeron.
Of course, we HAVE to run Basic because Standard was shipped without roaming support.
If it's not surprising, it shouldn't be on the front page, no? Doesn't it fail the "NEWS" for nerds test?
Vista beats anybody would be in the same league as man bites dog and very news-worthy.
Now that I've posted, my kingdom for a change in Slashdot post/no mod rules :)
who bothered voting, at any rate. The other 37% - well he'll represent all of them because that's what happens when you're too damn lazy to vote.

Firefox has been asked for years for better corporate deployment support. The answer was some wiki pages and a Client Customisation Kit which is currently listed as supporting FF2.
Firefox still ships as an .exe, not a Mozilla branded MSI, despite one being requested in January 2004 (bug 231062). Despite being listed as P1 for FF3 there's no sign of it yet.

I thought it referred to 8330 (and 8130). 8830 is still 4.2 land.

Once is enough to offer, after that let people manually choose Check For Updates.
Nagging is for spouses and as, the parent noted, Microsoft products like Clippy and Vista UAC.

Why patch when you can tell your lawyers to issue cease and desist letters to everybody - starting with that Kaminsky guy
