The one thing I was waiting for in Thunderbird. Putting all your POP3 accounts into one main folder.
I couldn't believe they didn't have this feature earlier and when I switched over from Outlook Express I was severely disappointed that I had to look through two different folders for new mail.
Hopefully they'll upgrade the spam filter as well... because as far as I can tell it doesn't work too great, or maybe I'm just stupid.
Not everyone has a computer that they could rip a 1TB video to. So they're going to have to re-encode it as they rip, which I imagine is quite a task for a file that large.
It would definitely discourage me from ripping it.
I think WebCrawler was my first search engine ever...
From there I graduated to MetaCrawler, which parsed WebCrawler and all the other currently popular web search engines at the time.
For some reason or another MetaCrawler started sucking and I used InfoSeek for quite some time... then they were acquired by Go.com and it went downhill from there.
I remember what I'd search the internet for back in those days tho. It was always "jedi knight" and "giga pets" (remember those cute tamagotchi rip-offs? =p)
For those that are saying the insurance ends up costing more than SCO's licensing... I'm pretty sure SCO's license fees are for one copy of Linux, not all the copies you want.
I think they're offering insurance for a company, not per copy of Linux you're using. Hence if you're a big company using 500+ copies of Linux... $250/year is nothing compared to the $300k licensing fee charge SCO could try to hit you with.
These IBM and Microsoft Reps must come pre-made or something... Petterson... Perrson... come on, too many similarities there. They must buy from the same company.
Does a 20mhz processor really need 128mb of ram? I mean, with a bus speed that low, you can probably put the data to flash ROM just as fast. What are the chances of you using all 128mb of ram?
I go to read about the 2.7 Linux Kernel and I get an advertisement telling me that Linux costs 11%-22% more on average in 4 out of 5 workload scenarios... I immediately lost interest in the 2.7 kernel and just got angry at Microsoft.
So that is their plan... the whole Yoda "hate blinds" plot... darn they're good.
Good to see (former) TI Programmers making it big. First Jimmy Mardel wins the Google Code Jam, now Justin.
For those that don't know, Justin Karneges created the Joltima RPG for the z80 processor based TI Calculators. He also worked with his company Affinix to create Joltima II (Infinity) for the Gameboy Color... unfortunately, they couldn't find a publisher, and by the time they did... the Gameboy Advance was released and they pretty much lost all hope.
Personally, I'd still buy their game... looks like one of the best RPGs ever made for a portable.
Nothing to do with laziness. SSL adds extra strain on the system. It's cheaper to not use it. And I really don't see the need for SSL on LiveJournal... it's a journal site, not a bank account.
TI-News posted news about PedroM almost a week ago. And today ticalc.org posted news about a 3 month old program (Kirby's TI Land 1.0 was released 9/5/2003)... *sigh*
The reason these PDAs will never make it mainstream is due to the HUGE program base that is out for Palms and PocketPC...
You can make an amazing PDA based on Linux, but if it doesn't run the apps that are all ready out there, are the few advantages great enough to outweigh the lack of support?
I can't think of anything funny or intelligent to say...
I wouldn't use any non-mature file systems for Linux. One main "feature" Linux has over Windows is it's stability... So if you're gonna run unstable code... well yeah.

Weird Al asks permission out of courtesy, not because the law makes him. I remember watching an interview with him about it.
Parodies make fun of the song, satire uses the song to make fun of something else.
Parodies are protected speech, satire is not, that's why there was a lawsuit.
If my employees were bashing my products publicly, I think I'd dump them too. Who wouldn't?
Last I checked, ISPs didn't care what server side language pages are generated by ;)
And Blosxom is written in Perl, so just in case you actually meant "Works with any host"... well that's not the case.
Perhaps someone *accidently* left a hole in their Linux server... And why was windows source code on a Linux computer anyway?
How exactly would this cloak help you? If you're wearing the cloak, wouldn't the cloak appear invisible instead of the wearer?
It's an invisible cloak, not an invisibility cloak... there go my Marvel Universe dreams again =/
And then they'll sue you for trademark infringement and make the whole Lycos brand name worthwhile ;)

Does anyone else notice that these Sharp PDAs are less-than-beautiful in case design?
:)
I'm not highly impressed with either the case design OR the OS design, but the case in particular.
Look at the Sony Clie NX series modles, the Tungsten E, etc. Those are some nice looking handhelds. The Sony Launcher also LOOKS nice.
Sorry, but when I see pictures of these Sharp PDAs, they just don't excite me. The only upside is the VGA screen.
I'll definitely be looking out for VGA Palm units in the near future though, those should be great
Why does Windows allow writing to a part of the hard drive that would permanantly corrupt it?
Or are they just blowing the whole story out of proporting when it in fact just erases your boot sector?

Since when is it legal to completely rip someone's background music and change the vocals?
I know there is a lot of "sampling" going on, but I'm pretty sure that goes beyond sampling.
