Lighting is and always will be a Thunderbird plugin. It is not a separate product. It is a plugin for calendaring that integrates into the Thunderbird GUI. If you don't need it, don't install the extension. Simple as that.

Monad has absolutely nothing to do with sudo-like behaviour; what the GP means is that Windows will prompt for an admin password in limited accounts before allowing changes. Kind of like what Mandriva/KDE do in their GUI admin tools.
As I recall, a *lot* of slashdotters thought the crank-up computer idea was neat, and claimed to want one. So there's at least a home-grown market for it.
I'm sorry, but I think your statement is... well, rude. Identity theft is a criminal offense, most IT people won't stoop to that simply to play a prank on someone who treated them poorly.
There are MUCH better pranks you can play on people - like the guy who bought tons of lotto balls on eBay and then rigged up a chute to randomly drop them on his coworker.
Statistically speaking, it's no less secure than any other sequence. Especially at six digits, that actually makes it more secure from a brute force attack...
This issue has absolutely nothing to do with the choice of pin, it has to do with latent storage of the pin. aka, not the consumer's fault.
I used Telus for four months here in Victoria, a few years ago. It was abysmal:( DHCP never worked right, the modem service would cut in and out. Finally it died and we spent hours trying to get it working - they blamed *US*!! (me and my girlfriend were both Computer Science students at the time, and I've been doing computers for almost a decade now). Even though their stupid modem couldn't get a Link light. I don't think we ever once got a reliable DHCP lease; some mornings we'd wake up and be unable to use the Internet because it could't grab a properly-formed DHCP response. Nevermind that the protocol is supposed to renew after 1/2 the time has elapsed, to prevent services outages. I looked in the XP event viewer, and there were literally hundreds of failed lease-acquisitions for that four month period.
We went and grabbed a Shaw modem that day (the day the Link light stopped working), and tried Telus one more time... while we were on hold with Telus, we hooked up the Shaw modem, waited for it to activate, and brought the computer online. And when Telus picked up, we were like "Oh, yeah, we hooked up Shaw while we were on hold with you guys, where can we send your modem to?"
They got us to mail the modem back, and then had the audacity to claim they never received it - except that Canada Post got a signature, so we knew they HAD received it. It was just a pitiful experience, and I will never go back to Telus DSL again.
Soho Skyway (Now "Skyway West", I think) has been fairly good for us at work, though. I'd consider them. Prompt service, and they aren't boobs.
I second that - a rackmountable organization-wide PIM would be neat. Especially if you could run a mirror at remote locations (preferably on existing hardware) that automatically syncs.
So, uh, how are you enjoying the snow?:) Out here by Mt Doug the ground is white. I'm sure it'll melt by tomorrow, but it's need while it's around.:)
I've stuck with Telus and avoided VoIP, because I have zero need for international calls. I mean, sure, maybe a discount rate to Malawi would be nice - but my sister's only going to be there for another two months. Shaw's offers all the features I would possibly want, but the extra monthly charge works out to more than or on-par with my Telus bill, so it's not worth it for me.
That's true, but I take anything the MPAA says with a grain of salt.
One year they made an announcement similar to this, but what they actually meant was that their profits had failed to meet the projected levels.
In other words, they predicted how much they would make that year, and they were wrong - but instead of admitting they were wrong and moving on (perhaps taking corrective measures, like making more movies that weren't boring shite), they chose to blame it on Piracy instead. Now, I know that piracy in its true form (selling bootleg DVD/TS rips) is a bad thing, and I encourage them to stop it - but downloading for free isn't piracy. It's not theft. No money is exchanged for it, and you can't quantify money that was "lost" based on invisible numbers.
Of course, while I'm flaunting my own opinion, I should also point out that I think downloading movies is a worthless waste of time:) I'd rather just buy the DVD, it's much more convenient. Maybe that's just because I haven't invested much time in figuring out how to burn television-playable DVDs for free on my Windows box, but mostly I think it's just because most movies aren't worth the effort, and the ones that are also happen to be worth the effort to go out and buy.
In summary, the numbers are meaningless and contrived. It's a bunch of suits whining because they can't afford to build a second dock on their private islands so they can park their yachts and seaplanes, when their beancounters said they should've been able to.
The sentence is not wrong. If the US is 40% of the total sales, then the US could also account for 40% of the decline in total sales - or, 40% of 8%, for 3.2% of the total decline in sales.
I would like to suggest an alternate (in fact, partially contrary) opinion, that of: You may be wrong.:)
DC is used for electrocutions, from what I've heard. Wikipedia fails to confirm it, but it does not disprove it, either. So, if they were both pissing on live wires of their own creation, well... let's just say that Edison would've died first.
Slashdot Mirror
yes! Someone send them an email *right now* demanding that they REVERSE THE POLARITY!
bumbling superheros with suits from outer space
There's always the popular "Blithering Blatherscythe!", don't think they've had that one yet.
zomg! I can't run Quake 4 on Windows 0.1! Something is teh wrong!
Wait for it. If you don't want to wait, help out. If you don't want to do either of those, this is not the extension you are looking for.
You have a fair point. I thought about the transparency issue as I was typing that in, even. I guess I could edit the story and correct it :)
Great! It should be about as interesting as Enterprise's first season. Yay!

I'm using it at home already. Screenshots at my blog.

Only if you're good looking. If you're ugly, you'll get charged with sexual harassment. If only I had a link to that SNL skit
The fact that they're releasing the documents is somewhat less "imperialist".
It would still be alright. Captain Tightpants is the real draw, anyway. ;-)

Well, thanks for breaking it gently to a fellow Firefly fan :)
... score! :)
As an aside, my Firefly DVD came in handy at work today, AND I got to watch the barfight scene

Oh, wait - he did!
Ah yes, the effervescent Deal or No Deal - otherwise known as "Howie Mandel Presents: Schroedinger's Luggage".
The epitome of quality television, that is.
You've obviously never studied economy (though admitedly, I haven't either), so I think it only fair to point out the obvious:
Millions of people would lose their jobs.
