Lotus Notes had most of this for over a decade.

What's In Your Inbox?

Lotus Notes has supported multi-folder filing and multi-view display forever (literally since it first shipped for the view features). Notes' views are are queries against whatever search criteria you define. You can also define rules that will auto-file messages into folders on arrival rather than the dynamic search of views.
For a long time, Notes has had the ability to color-code messages in your inbox based on the sender so you could setup the VIP Gold/Platinum concepts mentioned at the blog. Notes 7 also implements attention indicators which are icons representing whether the message is addressed specifically to you individually (very important) or to a small numbers of recipients or bulk mail.
How long do you have to listen to someone arguing an opinion that has no factual basis against a position based on well-proven empirical evidence before you stop ignoring them and consider them an ignorant quack?
If someone tells you that the earth is flat, the universe revolves around the earth or that red-haired people are less intelligent than brunettes do you say "well, that's a perfectly valid opinion and I respect your right to think that way?"
When they tell you that round-earthers, sol-centrists and red-headed people should be denied the same rights under the law as flat-earthers, earth-centrists and brunettes and blondes because they are the majority and believe they're right, how do you respond?
No, that was a minor issue at best, although it rolled up into the same group of fundamentalist issues that include abortion.
Many people did, in fact, think GWB was a better solution to the "threat of terrorism." Also, Republicans and GWB are perceived by many as pro-business and more fiscally responsible (which is a complete joke).
And it's just as likely for a well-behaved Christian to get fired if their liberal, bigoted boss finds out what they've been doing on their own time. What's your point?
Wrong!! Religion, a chosen-behavior and belief structure, is a protected class. Christians don't get fired for being Christian and if one was, they would be able to sue because of it. On the other hand, gay people can be and are fired just for being gay regardless of their punctuality in most parts of the US and have absolutely no recourse
Btw, you show your prejudice or ignorance by your "spend all night 'screwing around'" statement. Gay people are no more likely to come in late from 'screwing around' all night than straight people. You clearly don't understand it's not (just) about sex; gay people are attacted to and fall in love with those of the same sex.
Services does account for over 50% of IBM's revenue now, but don't fool yourself; software has the best margin of any of their product lines. And we already know what IBM's vision of the future is; it's called the Workplace Rich Client, it's based on Eclipse, and it will run on Windows, OS/X and Linux.
The reason they dropped the UNIX clients was because Windows became the dominant desktop and everyone was pounding them for the interface not being Windows-standard enough - so Lotus/IBM was damned if they did and damned if they didn't.
As for compacting; Notes/Domino actually does re-use white space in the database. Sorry if it's not efficient enough for your tastes. But the truth is the product was never intended to appeal to techy geeks, it was designed to make collaboration easy and productive in the lines of business.
The Domino web interface is only what a developer makes of it. It can be Section 508 compliant, Bobby compliant or anything else you want. I can show you Domino websites that wouldn't know from Pagemaker/IIS, or Websphere or ColdFusion by looking.
Yeah, that's a good idea - use an oh-so-secure public IM network like Yahoo or MSN for your important, sensitive or company confidential information. Brilliant!
For companies where information security matters, there is a good reason to use systems that are internal and under your control.
You should be using Domino Web Access (inotes6.ntf template), not the old webmail design. DWA is a rockin' cool web app; great interface and incredible functionality comparable to a rich client, as smooth as any web you've ever seen.
Oh and it also operated offline if you take it offline (using the DOLS feature built into it). Oh, and DWA is certified for Mozilla on Linux.
Dude, get with the current program - that UI Hall of Shame thing is based on a version of Notes that was three major versions ago (about to be four) and like five years old at this point. WHy don't you mention more recent reviews/articles (like all the awards the latest version of Notes has won) instead of recycling some tired, old hack job.
Solutions are about solving business problems not selling a distinct piece of software, or hardware or a contract programmer. It's a more holistic view of the world recognizing that those business problems aren't solved by simply dropping in a one size-fits-all software package - that there are process and culture issues there too.
At least part of the reason Lotus SmartSuite hasn't been open-sourced is that parts of it are licensed code from other parties that they can't just give away.
Long-time prior: Lotus/IBM's Complete Enterprise Option - not just per seat pricing which is normal, but a licensing model with a pricing based specifically on the total headcount in your organization.
IBM's patents aren't all software, and actually are probably majority hardware technologies.
As for releasing IP; it's not the public domain per se, but they donated both the Eclipse platform and the Cloudscape database to open source projects.
and there don't seem to be any new high-density housing developments going up.
Where are you talking about? In Atlanta, tons of new multi-family units (apartments, condos) have come online in the last few years and many more are under construction. All construction/development, whether residential or commercial, is tied to supply and demand (projected) for a specific geographic area.
You've got a pretty broad conspiracy theory going on there.
The government can legally outlaw some things a preacher might preach about if they are incorporated under 501 c 3.
Churches and 501(c)3 organizations are just prohibited from campaigning for/against or endorsing specific candidates. These orgs can still advocate on issues and for/against ballot questions such as inititives, referenda, amendments, etc.
Churches (more specifically the Christian Coalition) have been circumventing this for years by using a Voter Guide (also allowed under the law) which indicates candidate positions usually obtained by crafting a candidate survey in such a way that the candidates they endorse are most highly rated or have the most checkmarks beside their name. Parishioners will often walk into the voting booth with the guide in hand.
Even if the Bush campaign has spent all it's warchest, they will get $75M in public money for the general election as of their convention when Bush becomes the GOP nominee officially. By the same token John Kerry gets the same after the DNC convention. At that point they are on equal monetary footing... sort of.
The GOP convention is three weeks later than the Dems, so they end up with more to spend over the remaining campaign period, unless the Kerry campaign were to go quiet/dark for those three weeks, which they can't afford to do either. That's some fancy strategery Bush has got going there.
Of course, the way to combat this is to give money to orgs like MoveOn.org that can run issue advertising against Bush as long as it is not coordinated by the Kerry campaign. What a fun, convoluted political system we have.

It is common practice to announce quarterlies and annuals after the close of trading for the day.
Not sure about the last one to be approved for, or begin construction, but Watts Bar I came online in 1996. Construction on it began in 1973 however.

Here's one company's version.

I bet the AU part of my name confused you; I'm not an Australian Tiger but rather an Auburn University Tiger.
mmm... the term is actually Fair Use, the specific type of Fair Use in your example being 'time-shifting.'
