I don't know about the penguinistas, but for us total linux noobs who don't know the difference between a root and a shell, KDE is much more user friendly than GNOME.
But I don't have karma, so what do I know?
I've seen this before as well. Worst case I've seen yet was an ex-co-worker who got a divorce due to the fact that he would not pay attention to his wife or his baby boy--he would play EQ at work, then go home and play EQ.
He didn't seem all that upset about the divorce, and it was apparently not a hostile one...but she wanted someone who was going to love his son more than a vid.
"Lotus Domino and Novells Groupwise do have a market share, IBM even give Domino/Notes away with servers (well, the used to, not sure if they still do) but do you see them overtaking Exchange & Outlook? No. "
Not to be too much of a troll, but its the other way around. Notes seats had a very big lead on Exchange seats last time I checked...you can see on Lotus's site--they usually crow about it once a quarter or so.
While it is yet to be determined whether LOTD will be good or not, at least the trailers for the film don't utterly convince me of how much it sucks before I've had the opportunity to pluck down my hard earned cash to see it.
This movie looks to be beyond terrible, and even for the kiddies its aimed at. How many 7-12 year olds give a hoot about romance? And the aforementioned terrible dialog is just ponderous.
Here's hoping that LOTD brings a trilogy worth seeing, as opposed to this huge hulking steaming pile of tripe which is nothing more than an excuse to sell video games and toys and Happy meals.
I said that most are overpaid. Not all
Still a retarded statement. But to help out, ask your wife to take a pay cut. . If the teachers would still work for $17,000, it is overpay, and a tragedy, since this money can be used for other aspects of education where money is needed.
What??? Yeah, at 17k/year you sure would be overpaying them. If money is needed elsewhere, and it surely is, then fund it dammit. Oh, and please let your wife know how you feel about the overpayment. I'm married to a teacher as well, but somehow I doubt your wife is getting teacher of the year awards. Either that, or she's about to divorce you if you've let her know how you feel. This is my first complaint with the organization: it is illegitimate, since its membership is based on force.
You really have no argument, and its become clear for your posts. You simply want to spew out anti-union rhetoric, which whether I agree with it or not has nothing to do with your main post that teachers are overpaid. You think a Masters is worth 31/k a year? You are beyond hope. . 12 hour days? Again an NEA problem
You really are dense. The NEA has nothing to do with the fact that teachers are done over repeatedly by administrations who are repeatedly trying to please govt. officials and parents at the same time. The NEA did not make my wife's schedule, the NEA did not tell the State not to buy books for the kids, the NEA did not institute standardized tests as a measure of education, the NEA did not put more kids in the class, and less teachers in the classroom, the NEA did not say please put the most out of touch in places of power.
You really again have no clue at all. The NEA is a big part of the problem, but not all of it.
(learn to close your html tags by the way). Oh really? All I get from your post is the stupid claim that teachers are overpaid, and that its all b/c of the NEA. Again, really not worth arguing. I might as well claim the sky is pink, and its b/c of Barney. There argue that, b/c that's how stupid you look. Quit listening to Rush Limbaugh
Why? He is a valid source of information. That is sort of an anti-education attitude, too: I think people should listen to as many sources as possible, even if they are opposed by left-wing extremists.
This is pretty key--did you notice how quickly and correctly that I deduced that was where you wre getting your information from? You are blind. Also, I voted Republican, so don't call me a left wing extremist. But I forget, anyone who disagres with Rush, is left wing extremist, right ditto head? First of all, to simply spit out other's opinions reflects your inability to think critically on your own. Secondly, he's an entertainer who knows nothing about education. Pointless too
Yes, arguing with someone as obviously stupid as you is pointless, and I shall quit after this post. You have much learning to do in life, but with your hardwired ignorance you will obviously keep spouting what the RushMaster tells you instead of trying to learn about a subject on your own from informed sources. A sad and pathetic state of being on a board that is supposedly filled with educated people. Good bye.
He designed the Notes API and then writes this?

throw the article out. Anyone who's had to do any serious type of Lotus Notes Development can tell you that he's being hypocritical, no matter how knowledgeable he is.
You again obviously have no involvement in education, and don't know anyone who is. To make the ridiculous claim that teachers are overpaid is actually so sad its almost, but not quite amusing.
Please give me salary levels of teachers in your state and let me know how they are overpaid. I know that in my state a first year teacher without a masters starts out at 21,000/year. A teacher with a Masters Degree starts out at 31,000/year. Wow, they're rich, eh?
You also assume that the NEA is the cause of all that's wrong in education. Whether or not you agree with the NEA (and a very good chunk of teachers do not), the NEA does not put a gun to the govt.'s head and say "don't fund us." And god forbid someone fight for higher wages for people who essentially work 12 hour days/weekends. Oh sure the school day is only 8 hours, but then papers have to be graded, team meetings attended to, parents counselled with, and plans made out.
Additionally, please tell me how the NEA is responsible for administrators who only care about meeting standardized test scores, and don't give a rat's ass if they run off their best teachers by running them into the ground with their scheduling.
Quit listening to Rush Limbaugh, and get involved with education and people who are in it before you post things as silly and stupid as what you have posted.
At least we know why you're not a registered/. user.
You are an ignorant idiot.
Most teachers are worked to death by a system that fails to reward them in terms of finance or respect.
You show a complete lack of understanding of the educational system and how its funded.

Uh, yeah, I think it was.
Hmmm...too bad nothing could make your spelling look good.

oh no, I've been mightily insulted by an anonymous coward who makes such broad assumptions that only show his ignorance and not mine.
/.'rs take yourselves WAY too seriously.
Whatever shall I do?
Oh, and modded as a troll by the penguinistas eventhough I run linux myself?
wherever shall I go?
You
how can this be?
The specs seem 'giant' compared to other PDA's? Am I reading this wrong? What's your take on it compared to say a Palm 500/505?
Thanks.

handspring...From the Sharp Product Info Page:

7 inches, are you serious? Can't you just see all the "Is that a Sharp Zaurus SL-5000D in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" jokes coming?
"Christian moralising"

Didn't realize they were linking to same damn page. Sorry. Well, hell, I'm never modded up anyway, so who cares?
I couldn't get to the /. link either, but this site works fine:
