No, he's quite right - look again at the Google trends. It's subtle, but it's there - the search volume increases in growth rate until early-mid 2006, at which point it starts declining in growth rate again. It's hard to tell more accurately than that due to the large dip in that time period.
I'd love it if World of Warcraft added this feature, since the camera gets so cramped in smaller rooms (or inside huts, or other indoor areas that quests require) that you can't see anything beside your own character's backside. Even worse if you play a Tauren, who are fricken' huge, or a druid that can shift into bear form (also fricken' hug.) It makes you tempted to play a gnome just to avoid the camera issues.
I used to loathe certain instance runs (SFK & SM, I'm looking at you) for exactly that reason as a Tauren, and I usually wound up having to switch to first person camera and make use of target's target interface mods. Then I rolled a blood elf and whoa, I can see!
An FOV command would be nice tho, so even if you are in a cramped instance you can crank it up to 150ish and still see.
Yes, there are some OSS solutions out there as well, but they're not up to the same level in functionality as Outlook/Exchange.
If you're running OpenOffice.org, you may as well be running it on Linux or OS X. And if you're running it on Linux or OS X, you can install Ximian Evolution. Last time I checked, Evolution had calendaring, an appointment book, a task list, and email integration.
What were you saying about levels of functionality again?
If you leave it unlocked, well that's pretty stupid. It's not the lock manufacturer's fault you didn't lock it.
Actually, a better analogy would be if you did lock your door - but a vulnerability was discovered in the lock that made it (say) openable by jiggling the handle. Yes, you should get a new lock - but at your own cost, when it was poor lock design to begin with?
An unlocked door would be like leaving the root (or administrator) password blank, and the account enabled.
How much do the Linux distributors pay you for your contributions?
$0
How much do you pay the Linux distributors for your copy of Linux?
$0.
This is the key difference. I don't know what OEMs (and therefore you) pay for a copy of Windows CE, but it sure as hell isn't $0. Thus, Microsoft profits from your unpaid work.
What you are missing is the motion blurring that the human eye calls movement. With a high frame rate, two or three frames get overlayed on your retina before the cells can fire; this gives the motion-blurred effect on screen that you don't get at ~25fps. This is also why cinemas can get by at around 25fps.
I think.
Chris
PS. This means that you don't need a card that will do 85fps constantly, but a card that will motion-blur between frames at 25fps properly.
I use Courier. For me, it's as easy as:
ssh server
echo chris-website: chris >>/etc/courier/aliases/websites
makealiases
If you really wanted, you could set up a shell script to do this for you. Eg:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Adding $1-$2: $1 to/etc/courier/aliases/websites"
echo "$1-$2: $1" >>/etc/courier/aliases/websites
echo "Updating aliases database..."
makealiases
echo Done.
Chris
PS. I also have all mail coming through Courier's SMTP engine run through SpamAssassin, and only get the occasional false positive - and they're usually daily mailings I'm subscribed to, or have been forwarded from fifty other people first.
...we're so embroiled in our petty border squabbles between people of differently shaded skin or slightly modified philosphy that people can't realize that we are all human, we are all at heart the same, and we should all be working together to spread ourselves to the stars. It's possible, it can be done, and it will be done. I'd love to live to see it, and I'm willing to pay to make it happen.

Your post, in combination with your sig, conjures all sorts of delightful imagery. :P

Yes, you can, but you either keep them to yourself or share them openly.

I just had a mental image of Tux passing wind while hurtling down the "Who Said Penguins Can't Fly?" canyon.

DIdn't Microsoft get blogged up as "go to hell" (with quotes) recently?
I thought it was 69% pr0n. Am I missing something here? :)
Chris
It isnt 'kronos', it's Quo'nos.

Excuse me, but I think you made a typographical error. Didn't you mean Links?

People need to see the flip side of the coin.

Amen, brother.
