OSI: All Prosititutes Seem To Need Deep Penetration.
The trainer that first taught me that, many, many years ago said to the group that we'd never forget it. And I haven't. I wish I could get the film Audition out of my head though. When the old-age hallucinations arrive, I hope they don't dredge that up!:)
I've been a computer geek for 20 years. Back when it was all about communication skills I still conversed with sufficent skills on a very regular basis. Today, my conversational skills are just about shot. I'm having to re-learn basic human interaction. It's embarrassing, but that's what years of masturbating in front of the computer will get you if you don't keep up on the basics. So, I don't know what the details of their study are, but I can personally vouch for the validity of the concept.
From your sig: My theory is that when people say they're ROTFL they aren't actually OTF, and probably not even R.
Almost certainly. Cos it would be ROTFLAT (And Typing). Which would be tricky. Possibly they meant Rolled On The Floor Laughing Recently, But Am Now Sitting Back In Front Of My Computer.
As Confucious said: It's easy to achieve high compression ratios by piping to/dev/null. Recovering the data back is the tricky thing. Or it might have been someone else.
Strange review!

'I've used the Royal Mail as my main communications method for, well, pretty much forever. I use it because it's fast, powerful, good value, and very reliable. (I hate UPS.) However, since I work at Google, I'm constantly bombarded with people who ask me why I don't use the Internet. After hearing the nth person brag about how much it increased their productivity, I finally broke down and tried it. I didn't expect much, since I've never liked clicking. However, I made myself use it as my only communication method, for a month, to give it a fair shot.'"
What is this? Some guy tries something that everyone has been using for years now? Hey - guess what I found out the other day - cars! I used to walk everywhere..... Hey! I found out about phones last week! They're great - I don't have to travel 50 miles to speak to....
Let's start our own. If we registered domains for already existing sites ( playboy.xxx ), etc we could possibly get everyone using it de-facto. Then... profit!

Bigwigs like Linux because they hear the word "Free". As for what the hell bigwigs should be doing making decisions like this anyway is another issue.:)
I'm just saying that Linux with a mail server written in C/C++ would be a much better idea in my eyes.
So if it is in Java, and will run on any platform, why the Linux angle? And, just speaking personally, I don't want an email server written in Java. I want it in C or C++. Apart from the cross platform thing, what's the benefit from using Java?
Shit, yes, you're probably right. Mind you, it would be quite clever to get two different sites to run the story together, just for the purposes of creating an April Fools.
Yep - the problem with this is that people will associate Linux with "slow, flaky, awkward to use" because to them, Linux will be what they've heard, and they'll be using the Lotus clients all the time. I, as (generally) a Linux advocate, don't want that association.
In the company I work for, we moved from Lotus to Exchange/Outlook, and I have to say, even though I would rather not use MS stuff, I wholeheartedly embraced the change. I think the last version of the client I used was 4 or 5, so it may be that it's got much better. However, I remember that there was something amazingly easy in Outlook (setting up an out of office message?) that was nigh on impossible in Notes.
I think IBM have done some clever things so far, but dumping 300 million to try and get Notes running again is a losing battle.

khasim wins by knockdown, in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and finally 5th round.
There are many kinds of building block, young one.

It's official! Teslatug has pronounced that, as of 2006-04-08 23:51, Linux has won!
Hallejulah!
Hmmm, top end stuff there. Perhaps you'll become friends with their biggest fan, Faiza
Perhaps you're trying to come out of the closet?
Hmm. Viruses building batteries? What could go wrong?
I think the clue here is "robyannetta writes"....
You do know that the Slashdot team don't submit the articles? It's people like you and me. So quit whining, and submit it first, with better links.

Why should we listen to him - what has he ever achieved? (grumbling) OK, I suppose he has done fairly well for himself....
But I bet one thing though - when his hard drive fails, or some software goes wrong - he can get someone from IT to fix it straight away.

Anyone know of a plugin to allow TB read local maildirs so I don't have to run an imapd to read mail that's delivered locally?
Hmmm - interesting. Wonder if my Council Tax bill will go down in line with any savings they make?
Bristol, UK? If so, I missed that.

Security holes - what about Postfix, or Qmail?
As for code maintenance, I couldn't comment.

Interesting theory. Hormone levels == hardness needed. (Excuse the pun.) I don't think it would hold out though.
