They called him back to ask what? Whether the issue with his shiny new installation of Windows 98 is resolved yet? Please remind me, for how many years has that version been unsupported? 5?
Hardly. A blogger made a funneh and made it on Slashdot.
That's it, I'm moving to North Korea. Look what their constitution says:
Article 71
Citizens have the right to relaxation. This right is ensured by the establishment of the working hours, the provision of holidays, paid leave, accommodation at health resorts and holiday homes at State expense and by a growing network of cultural facilities.
That's right, but again, compared with outlook the resource usage is fine. Opera quite frankly stinks in a multiuser environment. I tried running it on our test farm and it wreaked havoc with the users' profiles. Never tried Eudora on Citrix so can't comment on that.
Also possible but I think the typical luser will find thunderbird less confusing. Also mozilla isn't exactly resource friendly. On my home PC Mozilla uses about 35 megs while TB takes less than 20. This might be irrelevant on a PC with 512 MB but if the majority of your users are on a W2k Citrix farm (like in our office) this difference *is* relevant.
So what mail client would you roll out to 1500+ users then ? I've never seen a better mail client for Windows than Thunderbird. Compared with what is used in most businesses (Outlook) it's much less of a resource hog (ever tried to open Outlook with 5000+ messages ??) and much less effort to support (try recovering a corrupt.pst file - have fun!).
Now that the IDLE command is supported I'll propose switching to TB at my office.
I guess there's not even the slightest chance that my old serial number from 1999 will still work, huh? Hahahahahahahaha. Hahahaha. Haha. Hah. Ha. Sorry. It doesn't.
There has been a usability study two years ago. It was funded by Sun and based on Gnome 1.4 - this study is the base for the Gnome HIG and Gnome 2.x
It would be interesting to do a follow up on that test though and see what has actually been implemented since.
While I agree that europe isn't as liberty minded than the US once was, I think it's the closest you can get right now on this planet. Apart from exceptions like canada and the like.
Remember that this was a "perfomance test" not a "which FS is better" test. Benchmarks only show you which one is faster at specific tasks, it doesn't necessarily tell you which one's better.
This is actually described in the help text of the kernel's CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE config option. Say yes to "Use multi-mode by default" in the "IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices" tree and recompile your kernel. The errors should disappear.
I don't think asian countries are more attracted to OSS than other parts of the world (remember OSS initiatives in Germany, UK, France, Brazil, South Africa etc.). However that doesn't change the fact that OSS isn't a big issue right now in North America.

I'll bet my first born child that it's gonna be hacked _before_ release day

Well the directory is already there. It's not accessible yet though.

Also this might be of interest
Groupwise does the trick. I might not fall in your definition of affordable though...

But otherwise, yea why not.

probably nothing at all. unthemed novell apps will look more like KDE apps but that's about it as far as the normal user is concerned.
A look at the FAQ reveals this:
I guess there's not even the slightest chance that my old serial number from 1999 will still work, huh?
Hahahahahahahaha. Hahahaha. Haha. Hah. Ha. Sorry. It doesn't.
Or the quicker answer: No.
it works for me with 0.4 - so I guess the answer is no.
quite easy. check their ftp site and surf around the enterprise directory.
have a look at this (this is actually one of the mirror sites as ftp.redhat.com was busy).

By the way, the study can be found here
Yeah what about akksess
