The last time I had to use an exchange server, I used Netscape 4.7's e-mail client, created local folders, and dragged and dropped each folder from server to local machine folder by folder. Took about an hour for 400MB, IIRC.
While some of the blame belongs on the people hiring lawyers, the bad lawyers themselves are not without blame!
Lawyers have absolutely no inhibitions about acting illegally. They should have some amount of self control, but most of the time they do not exhibit any. In my legal encounters, almost all lawyers (and all judges) behave unethically.
What agency do you think ghost writes for the pseduonym Tom Clancy? It's a very similar style; I particularly like the sub-plot about the ficticious petite blonde agent with the big gun. Very intruiging.
It most certainly is bad news. These "judges" are violating the basis of our judicial system when they second guess a jury's decision. It is precisely because a jury can see through intentional lies, *and* won't be biased due to direct kickback, that the constitution spells out having a jury of peers.
These "judges" are trying to mock the constitution. And so far, it does look like they are doing real damage.
They deserve to die slow painful deaths for this. But hey, that's just my cynical opinion.
Gee, if you consider depriving tens of thousands of voters at a time valid, then your logic might hold. However it does not. Remember: the whole recount thing only got started once there many complaints about irregularities. Preventing people from voting is about the same as miscounting their vote.
The last time I took a 6 hour CPR course, we were given basic instructions on how to operate a public access defibrillator. IIRC, it went something like this:
1) Open case, 2) Follow instructions
a) press button: machnie tells you to connect wires
b) connect wires to machine
c) press button: machine tells you to attach sensors
d) attach sensors to patient; grease paddles
e) press button: machine scans for fibrillation; if it cannot detect a valid hearbeat that is fibrilating, it turns off
f) machine warns to prepare for first shock
g) press button: shock administered
(repeat e, f, g up to three times)
The unit we were shown had cute diagrams to help you along in case you didn't speak English, etc. They seemed to have taken great pains to prevent it from firing when it is not absolutely neecessary.
Each one cost several grand. I think they also were selling ones for individual/home use, or trying to get the license hurdles past so that they eventually can.
I got a Roomba for my wife for her brithday back in October. She hates it (takes 45 minutes to do what she does with a dust mop in 4 minutes, and the dust trap is 1/10th the size it needs to be.) Her opinion is that I "got ripped off."
My kids love jumping over it. My dogs love barking at it. My cat loves clinging to the celing in the farthest room from it.
In netscape 4.79 (on Win2k) viewing source of this page is showing me nothing. Just a big blank (very clean) screen with no scrollbars. IE 6.0 shows 'normal' HTML source.
Are you saying the paperclip guy is the same from version to version? Are you saying the menu (across the top of the window) doesn't change, and is accessed the same way? The toolbars? Sheesh!
You are obviously paid to "spin" for Microsoft. If you go back to the earlier post, you'd see that I didn't say people can't adapt to the new interface - of course they can. One point I was making was that MS consistently varies their UI for no apparent reason.
There seem to be dozens (if not hundreds) of very subtle differences in each version.
And I have no idea where you got the notion that everyone is seriously overestimating how much the user community might hate MS. Stay on topic please.
That is total BS. No version of word is similar to it's immediate predecessor. The only thing that is sometimes the same from version to version is where to find it on the "start" menu.
From the article: During my first Microsoft internship, I wrote string libraries to run on the Macintosh. A typical assignment: write a version of strcat that returns a pointer to the end of the newstring. A few lines of C code.
If the author is who he claims to be, then he is responsible for thousands of buffer overflows that has not only sustained, but in essence CREATED the anti-virus industry (by creating the virus industry.)
If this is true, then death would probably be too kind a punishment.
If you are providing and charging for backup services, make logs available to individual clients. At the very least, have SOME way to let me know how many bytes you backed up each night if there is an arbitrary monthly limit.
Warnings on the first day of the month (if day 1's use * 30 will exceed limit) would be appreciated.
Warnings on days with more than 50% more than normal days use deserve a warning of some sort. Each client should be able to configure their own warning levels.
If network badwidth limits are known in advance, warnings at 90% and 95% would be very useful.
I hope it does not seem like I was suggesting that the they do not deserve "more." Of course the founders of a company deserve better renumeration than the lowliest janitor. But recent excesses (1980-2002) show that limits are needed. Now.
I still maintain that this country would be much better off with income caps.
Thanks for the informative link. (No, I had never looked up tax rates from before I was born - I obviously had no idea where to look.)
As for the top 5% factoid: it does seem very reasonable to me that the top 5% of the taxpayers pay some extrordinary portion of all taxes, but that says nothing about the 5% wealthiest. Those two groups do not coincide exactly!
I still maintain that this country would be much better off with income caps.
Um, excuse me, but just what planet are you from, where they tried 70%+ tax rates on the wealthy? Most "wealthy" here in the US pay little or no tax.
We should have a "Maximum Annual Income." Whether that is $100k, 1 mil or 10 mil or somewhere in-between should be a matter of on-going debate. But having a CEO earn more than 100 times the lowliest employee is disgraceful...(and that was the standard from decades ago that was given up on as unattainable in the US!)

Fascism can only become entrenched gradually. Do you think the Republican party has your best interests in mind as it's administration makes these changes?
This is not about "perception of the victims" but rather the wholesale erosion of citizen's rights.

I would have to switch to the "better protection" mode where the throw away addresses need a visit (by me) to spamgourmet before they are effective.
I have used this service for a long time (1998, I think?) and I have yet to have someone get past the "no maintenance/no-brainer mode."
Spamgourmet is the best anti-spam tool I have encountered.
The GPL itself discriminates against commercial uses (i.e. a company MAY NOT distribute my software without the source.)
Nice deliberate lie.

You won't have time for anything else. You won't be permitted to sleep for a while either.

The parent post here was originally modd'ed as "insightful." It was a great pleasure to meta-moderate that "Unfair."

What planet {Gates whine or not} do you live on? A day does not go by that I don't get a fsking word document e-mailed to me.
Anyone know if it will finally be customizable, so that I don't have to use a third-party utility (i.e. traydate) to display the date!?
How, then, can you justify the iron fist of government setting a cap on the incomes in a free market economy?
Err, the same way (unconstitutional) income taxes were justified at the start of the 1900s.
My point is that the current system lacks equity. And the imbalance is increasing. (Some recent examples even got noticed, e.g. Enron.)
I still maintain that this country would be much better off with income caps.
