  1. Browsing other's calendars etc on Petition to Get Ximian Connector Ported to Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Even that this is only half on-topic... is there a way to browse the calendars of other Evolution users, without using an MS-Exchange server?

  2. Interesting, but is it useful? on Building String Instruments with No Strings? · · Score: 1

    When you play a string instruments, you need to feel where the strings are. So if your strings are virtual, wouldn't it be harder for you to know where to place your hands (or the arc[1])?

    ---------
    [1] I couldn't find the name of the object that you pass on the string in order to produce sounds. I wonder - nobody sells those?

  3. Jaguar will support RTL languages? on O'Reilly Thinks Mac OS X May Be the 'Next Big Thing' · · Score: 1

    So why isn't it mentioned in the site? I wish they had more details in their "new features" list.

  4. My problem with OS X on O'Reilly Thinks Mac OS X May Be the 'Next Big Thing' · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yes, OS X has real multitasking, got a unix core, has transparent menus and it's nice and all, but unlike OS 9 and below, it does not support keyboard input of right-to-left languages (Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi, any other languages?)

    As a result, it's uncommon to see people in the middle east who use OS X. Those people still use the now dead OS 9, or more likely, Windows.. (yes, how bad and evil MS are, I must admit they did a great thing when they forced everyone to use the unicode standard, which is harder to display, but makes sense in every other aspect - searching, sorting, etc)

  5. It will work, with no side effects on Virus Piggybacks Microsoft Mail Worm · · Score: 1

    (replying to an AC)

    My instructions were to disable scripts in the Restricted sites zone only. It won't affect your browsing, which is affected by the "internet" zone. It won't affect programs which use the "browser" ActiveX either.

    Also, putting sites with annoying pop-ups and pop-unders to the "Restricted sites" list may save a lot of troubles. You can get rid of the small ad-window of Geocities if you add geocities.com to the restricted sites list. If you're really bored, you can define more security zones using registry manipulation.

    The seperate security zones are very useful, and I'm surprised there's no similar thing in Mozilla/Netscape - and as a result you can't disable automatic Java execution from email messages there without disabling it as a whole.

  6. Re:Solution on Virus Piggybacks Microsoft Mail Worm · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You can do it yourself.
    Options > Security > click on "Restricted sites zone". After that, click on "internet options" in the control panel, select "security" > Restricted sites, click on "custom level" and disable everything.

  7. Win32 version? on Will Evolution Exchange Microsoft? · · Score: 1, Troll

    My office needs an Ms-outlook substitue, and fast, since the outlook server enjoys crashing. Do they have any plans to make a w32 port of Evolution client?

  8. Disabling ActiveX on Flash and Open Source · · Score: 1

    Yes, it turns off flash, but it displays an annoying msgbox for EACH flash plugin which can't display:

    "Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly".

    If there's more than one flash control on the page, you must click on OK in each box. You can't just repeatedly press ESC and close all the damned boxes.

    Now try disabling ActiveX and then going to a page full of stuff like this..
