* README: Updated. Don't say that the user needs to copy their mozilla database files into ~/evolution, since Evolution now builds it's own default database files if they don't exist and also remove instructions for building with OpenSSL.
Evolution no longer supports S/IMAP, S/POP, S/SMTP using OpenSSL, you MUST have nss from mozilla installed to get SSL support for mail transfers.
After the last few release canidates having issues with SSL, I was sincerely hoping that 1.0 would work. I was disheartened to find OpenSSL support completely removed.
I am unable to find a reason for this switch, as both nss and openssl support had been implemented in the past I fail to see why they would remove support for it.
Are we perhaps forgetting about VA Linux laying off some of the key developers of GL software for Linux less than a week ago?
Sure, OpenGL 2.0 would be nice, but a nice spec isn't going to do us alot of good unless we can develope drivers and implement it.
VA Linux shut down their professional services organziation, which was funded by a number of other projects for graphics vendors and for other graphics research organizations.
3D Labs wants to kick things into high gear and start pushing for an open collaberation on OpenGL 2.0, what are they going to do about the lapse we are going to see in card drivers and the rendering infrastructure on these open platforms that no longer have developers?
I think what 3D Labs is doing is a Good Thing(tm), but I heard someone say somewhere that perhaps they arrived a bit late and unless they are going to pick up the buck and run with it, I would have to agree.

My dear friend and cousin Jerry wrote a nice little Perl Parallel Programming HOWTO for controlling your parallel port with perl.
He has used this to write an interface app for a Bar Monkey type program. Pictures here.
