It's funny. I used kde before 1.0 came out. Then I used gnome since before gnome 1.0 came out(.95 or somethng). This statement in the early days would have been reversed. Recently I switched to kde because it's faster, and unlike gnome the file manager is good and always has been. Nautilus sucked when it first came out and it continues to stink. It's a slow turd.
what a bunch of lame excuses. Kmail too has it's problems but at least the functionality is there. Here's a list of kmail's problems.
It's go that completly unessesary "html message" bar on the side of every message.
By default it doesn't automatically check your mail. You have to enable "interval mail checking", It should be called "check mail every x minutes" where x is an adjustible box.
It's got that stupid box at the bottom of every message showing stuff noone cares about.
You can't rearrange your folders. Local folders are always at the top of the list. These folders are pointless for an IMAP user.
One more gripe about evolution.
It doesn't let you use an imap folder as an address book or calendar.
None of these graphical applications allow you to store the preferences on an imap server. Pine has this feature.
I would tell them to find a real job. I think video games focus way too much on the story as it is and not enough on game play(e.g. metal gear solid). If I want a story, I'll rent a dvd.

then why did you bother replying? Usually before I try something out I like to see what other people have to say about it myself, so it will matter to others like me, and if it pisses on fanboys like you I really don't mind.
> Strange how others don't seem to have those problems.
See all the other posts here. Your perception is skewed fanboy.
> As well, this oil is more dense than water. It will take longer to heat up, but it will also _retain_ heat longer as well.
You can't be more wrong on this one. He is using vegetable oil. It's lighter than water. Vegetable oil will heat up to 350 F quicker than it takes the same volume of water to boil.
I've been to whatever that university is in Lawrence. One only considers Kansas non-flat when they themselves come from a flat place. There is a certain matter of perspective. I live in Seattle, Kansas is a pancake.

First of all these are different products. You should be comparing something along the lines of qmail+ldap
Under unix the equivalent would be for a mail file to get corrupted, since these are text files the worst that would usually happen is that two email messages run into each other or some go missing but it only affects one user.
As far as filesystems and databases going corrupt usually you can fsck for a filesystem, or use whatever utilities come with a database. Most databases are far more robust than exchange, which uses jet internally. The point is that recovery usually is much more possible than with exchange. Yes backups are important but sometimes they aren't up to date enough.

ok dipshit, all I was doing was pointing out how pointless it was to have a category such as business software. I guess you have some preconceived notion that this means POS or acounting software. If that's what the OP meant then that's what he should have said. A broad category of business software is lame could be anything from a webserver to foxpro, after all businesses use both.
> you are the one astroturfing yup, RMS pays me to sit here and type this shit. Do people even think about what they are typing?
That's exactly my point "business application" is such a broad category that it's a completly useless and Microsoft serving statement to say windows is better with business applications.
> I'd rather run Enterprise servers on Windows since I know how to secure a Windows box whereas I wouldn't have a clue about securing a Linux box.
That means that you are unqualified to judge which one is better.
> Funny that all the TV-Out cards support Windows by default, whereas there are so few which support Linux-based operating systems.
well if you buy yourself a mac you aren't going to be shopping for a tv card at pc store. Believe it or not some people do check for compatibility before they buy.
> Exchange is much easier to set up than LDAP+Email,
In a business setup is done by trained professionals. Ease of use isn't as important as reliability and integrity. If you call microsoft and tell them that your exchange data store is corrupt the first question they will ask is "how recent are your backups?"

thankyou that is sooooo much better.
Now if only junk mail worked like it does in mozilla-thunderbird. Where you could get it to just mark a message as junk, and not do anything else.
what a bunch of lame excuses. Kmail too has it's problems but at least the functionality is there.

more and more people are getting routers this is hardly an outlying case.

When you have a single program that is supposed to be in the background eating all your ram and half your cpu you kill the process.

Or you can simply review the product and give it a bad review. Then suggest something else instead of acting all smug.

Everything is slow on freenet small websites, pictures,everything. That is if you can get it at all. freenet is one big joke right now.

for alot of people(myself included) this is already the case.

yeah, but kword sucks.
Abiword and gnumeric are cool. Most of koffice is cool. KDE could merge to gtkmm and then we could all have one happy desktop.

duh, to browse their files.
