I agree, my gamil account still gets bogged down with HUNDREDS of spam e-mails a day, while my gmail account hasn't gotten a single one in weeks.
The gmail interface also beats the yahoo mail interface with the screen refresh and ability to search and thread messages.
Wow...their own network.... millions and billion spent to do exactly what a 12 year old could do with one trip to CompUSA...but this now gives us the answer to what Bush was referring to when he said 'internets' during the debates.

the water drank by astro/cosmonauts in the ISS is nothing more than purified humidity/urine/sweat/etc. If I remember correctly, the Mir space station was the first to make use of this sort of process.
Since it does not currently exist, I really cannot give a 'real' answer. I like my Linux box. I've used Linux exclusively for years now. Yet Mac OSX has always interested me. I really would not know unless I tried it out first.
I haven't had to use a floppy in years. I don't like clutter, and I already have too much stuff to carry around (laptop, digital camera, pda, the usual books and magazines).
Instead of floppies I simply FTP everything to my main server. I'm able to contact it from any net connected site, so there is really no need for a floppy. And size is no limitation (unlike floppies, cd's, and usb keys).
The best part is that I never have to worry about 'what if I lose my floppy, cd or usb-key'. Nor do I have to worry about media damage (especially when I travel).
1.44 Megs is just BARELY enough room to save most documents these days (thanks to M$'s ever bloating DOC format and the increasing need for more 'stuff' to be included in documentation..ie: graphs, charts, pictures, etc).
Goodbye to floppies, and hopefully goodbye to ALL disposable storage media soon.
Take a look at an AS/400 (iSeries). They've been around for more than 10 years. And before that you had the System 38 and System 36... and so on.....
Why is this some big revelation now?

even coal and oil powered electrical plants often have those large cooling towers. A few of the plants here in PA even have them.
We went over this same topic months ago. Flash memory still lacks the write-rewrite ability of your typical harddrive.
A flash card usually begins to fail after so many writes and rewrites. Sure, it may be a million, but tail and atime stats will quickly hit this limit.
does anybody else see the 'why add another layer of things that can get fucked up?' problem behind this?
if the chips have to be inside the box anyhow, they might as well stay on some sort of motherboard.
my os is fine without M$.
OpenOffice works just as good as Office, and Mplayer works just as well as windows media player (and without the drm crap).
Why would I, or and Linux user want M$ garbage on out systems?
So if I post about the dream I had last night will it get accepted too?
Damn, this must really be one slow assed news day.
By next week we'll have RMS or Linus describing thier nose hairs in fine detail.
Even if we DO hear alien broadcasts by 2020 the civilizations will most likely be hundreds if not thousands of light years away.
1) there is no way that we can currently travel those distances and in any sort of reasonable time
2) by the time we hear them their planet could already be dead and gone

wmv and wma still work fine on Linux. All you need are the correct codecs compiled into MPlayer and the mplayer plugin for Mozilla.
oops, self-edit... it's my yahoo email account that gets bogged down w/spam.

Will this finally be upgraded from it's netscape 4.77 dependancy?

I need 2 250GB drives to fit all my cd's ripped to MP3's...and those are only sampled at 128bps. It's one reason why I never will buy an iPod.

now just have a few million people all agree on how to convert the millions of pc's, routers, etc using tcp.

I'll be interested in checking out the first issue. I have always loved their series of books, so, hopefully, thier magazine will be just as good.

And now Linux users can experience a BSOD for the low low price of $99 :P

Good point! My laptop (Toshiba Satellite) came with XP but now runs Mepis Linux. I think I actually booted into Windows once with it.
Something that copies Scissors and we'll be set!
