I agree but I don't it's possible to scrap 'email' as we currently know it and replace it with 'email 2.0' that uses protection because we would have to migrate all together. Same reason we are still waiting for IPv6 (because no one wants the extra costs involved with IP4-to-IP6 gateways).
I hope you never get overlooked for promotion because you are too old, or too black or too female.
Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt. It said "My lawyer says I don't have a case". Translation: My lawyer didn't think it would pay/earn him enough money to persue it.
FTA:
The European Parliament rejected attempts to criminalize the sharing of files by private individuals and threw out the idea of banning copyright abusers from the Internet, in a plenary vote Thursday. I hope the article is not accurate but if I am reading this it states NOTHING on sharing public domain/freeware/private software; meaning enforcing this new law (if it was to be accepted) meant I was braking the law if I where share my own pictures!
There was also a movie on this very topic: it's not on teleporting but on replica's and the will to live. Also a nice movie: in which they teleport people from the past to the future.
One of the reasons they gave was that they wanted to create a new 'open' format; hence the name 'Office Open XML'.
But why?
If they want interoperability with other vendors they could have just opened up the specifications for the current binary format (doc, ppt, xls, etc.). Of this format we (library developers) at least knew what problems would arise when converting to their 'standard'. We where almost a 100% compatible. I can only imagine the reason Microsoft is creating a new standard/format is to make sure that all conversion libraries out there are no longer compatible. We (library developers) will have to start over to make OOXML converters and we will have to discover their new tricks.
Is it just me or am I missing some real old school titles in this list? I still love the old C64 and even still own an operating Amiga 500. I also have a working XT machine. Games I used to play where: Digger (XT), Shadow Of The Beast (Amiga), Wizard of War (C65, and I still play it on an emulator now and then), Hero (C64), Nebulus (C64), Bruce Lee (C64), Speedball (Amiga), Turrican (Amiga),....
I'm stopping here, as I type more and more titles I feel older and older...
It seems that whenever there are problems in Europe, rather than discussing the issue, they take up arms and slaughter each other.
.. and while this is being said the US is planning to invade Iran while still trying to convince the world the invasion in Iraq was not for the oil price...
We have cultural divides larger than Europe, and yet manage to get along without much violence.
I believe you still have problems with gun control and gangs...
I guess I have a different perspective because I'm Christian and understand the nature of evil...
So naturally, me being an atheist, I can not understand the nature of evil and therefor must be evil?
I'd like someone to point out any case in history where yielding one's freedoms to another didn't result in oppression and even greater evils
Humm that's exactly what we have been doing with our technology as well... ever seen the technology landscape of a very large financial institute? One that has had a few mergers? As an IT specialist we extend life through knowledge...
for instance: COBAL programs still life on...
(I shiver when thinking of doing THAT maintenance)

A programming editor with stupid integrated chat?
You're right! Nobody what's that. A good open source IDE that is killing this product only has useful plugins like:
Messenger plugin: http://sourceforge.net/projects/eimp/
Gmail plugin: http://tabaquismo.freehosting.net/ignacio/eclipse/gmailclipse/gmail-eclipse.htm
Personal finance plugin: http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/Web_Links-index-req-viewlink-cid-589.html
Minesweeper, snake and sobokan games: http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/Web_Links-index-req-viewlink-cid-52.html

Dude, javac gives me a compile error. It doesn't understand 'printf', can you help me fix it?

These are all obsolete when Web NT will come out...
Armagetron (http://www.armagetronad.net/) is has a split screen multiplayer mode. Great, console like, game.
This is the world upside down... it used to be that 'ideals' and 'ethics' are for those who can afford them.
That's why a lot of people use the backdoor to Schiphol: http://www.ad.nl/binnenland/article2029191.ece (Sorry: this is in Dutch).

I took a long time until a game came out that was better than it...

Is it Christmas already?

Cool! I also got my own number now, but I didn't know that 503 was a 128 bit integer.
I don't think it will come up in the first 10 since "09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0" only hits 281000
And my question is then:
Will they bring the much anticipated BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH to Linux?
for instance: COBAL programs still life on...

No! We fold space! Or better yet: we actually build the improbability drive! ... and put the engine to Ludicris speed! ??!?!?
... it will also include an Easter egg: typing "M$" will take you directly to www.microsoft.com.
