I thought Linspire used Lbrowser, a rebranded version of firefox. It was silly when I first heard it, but now it makes a lot of sense.
Besides, the only way debian can use the firefox name is to use the exact code that's in the mozilla CVS tree. Not going to happen. For one thing, it would really screw up apt if individual applications started updating themselves without adjusting the apt repository accordingly.
Why not help in the development of libgaim and then use that? This reinvent the wheel thing really is a bit much, and those gaim guys really could use the help to finally get 3.0 out the door and finally merge that gaim-vv stuff into the next version (4.0?)
I thought the OLPC people decided that the hand crank was too much stress on the frame of the computer and went away from that model? Does this mean that they are going back to hand cranks, or that the crank is detached from the computer?
So much for a business model. I suppose they'll still have the big companies that will pay them for support, but how big is Eudora in the corporate field? And how much will they pay for a thunderbird clone?
Not even the clickwheel is forever. I prefer a perfected voice recognition in most cases. Perhaps with a single button that lets the computer know that I am talking to it.
No. It will never die. It will survive the heat-death of the universe, as all other protons dissolve in the uncountable trillions of years in the future. They will be all that is left in The End.
Prepare to be saddened. Not by the episodes. They're funny, lighthearted, well written and acted, and some of the best stuff you wil ever watch in the sci-fi or western genres.
You will be sad when you finish it and realize that it's all over and there is nothing left to watch.
I wager more people are using Win2K now than in the days right before WinXP came out. Remember, Win2K was not aimed at the home user. Home users were running a mix of win98 and ME (poor, unfortunate souls). With the enhancements in hardware since then, a lot of pro home users have stepped up to Win2K, and a number of people with WinXP have downgraded to Win2K as well for various reasons (I downgraded because I tried activating my WinXP license on too many pieces of hardware).
As someone from the U.S., just navigating their website sucks. http://www.tesco.com/ doesn't even seem to have software, let alone a MS Office replacement.
It doesn't matter if you believe that you don't commit crimes. The problem is that government should not be invading your privacy without a warrant or probable cause of imminent harm. Not possible illegal activity. If the government was worried that you are doing something wrong, let them go through the proper channels and get a judge to issue a search warrant.
Well, the question I guess is: "Do you know what you are missing?". Yes, it can be a PITA to move your email address and make sure all your contacts know it. Don't try that at first! Instead, just play around with a gmail (or whatever) account for a while. Most email clients will let you change your sender email address to make people think you are using another domain (ie: send mail from you@gmail, but have the recipient think you are sending it from you@yahoo), so there is no harm in trying these things out.
You don't know what you don't have unless you look around.:-)
The 2769 MB is what I see as well. Must be the same for most people.:-)
I'm only using a couple hundred MB, however. I would use more if the gdrive filesystem was available for WinXP/Linux/MacOSX and was completely compatible amongst the three.;-)
First my background: I was a big Yahoo email guy for a number of years. I started using gmail a couple years ago. I still keep my yahoo email address but don't use it much.
I find the yahoo approach somewhat old compared to the clean lines of gmail. In particular, after tagging emails in gmail, it's a little hard to go back to the folder paradigm. Another issue is the home page within the email client that doesn't show you your email. If I want yahoo as my home page, I will set it up that way. It also seems somewhat slow (I'm using a 3GHz P4 w/ 2GB ram running firefox on WinXP on a T1 connection) compared to gmail.
This is totally separate from the gross number of adds on the email site. Thankfully, adblock seems to be able to block out the vast majority of them.
While I had high hopes for the new yahoo email client (I actually like the yahoo.com site redesign), I think it's too little, too late.
Well, actually, it can be a lot less than 90 years. For all we know, there is a spacecraft just outside the solar system that is receiving the data and can send a response. All life may not be biological and work on our timeframes.
Mixing hard disk, flash, and dram in one device sounds more like a hard disk replacement, since it still has moving parts and would really just improve access times to data stored on the platters.
I always wondered why they couldn't start and the shuttle with some cabling and dropped it down towards the earth. Put enough mass on the end so that it actually reaches the earth and enough thrust on the shuttle (or other vehicle) to keep it up until the rest of the support mechanism is worked out.
Why not call it the Gnu 2nd Public Liscence? (G2PL). That way there is no feeling of "forced" updating of people that don't want to use the new liscence, and yet the DRM clause can still be there for people that want a new liscence.

84 GB is a drop in the bucket compared to the 6.5 TB of video data. Crazy, but true. :-)
Umm... As a /. user, what exactly am I supposed to buy from utube.com? Extra pipes to get more internet?

One would guess that the large corporation would hire someone else to fill the gap. With money.

It would be nice to see the algorithm used, if only to see if it can be improved.

Does Windows Vista no longer support Office 2000? Why not update all your networking cable to fiber, while you are at it?
Why the heck do you need to upgrade everything at once?

In my case I'm going to work very hard to make sure I'm on the end doing the exploiting, so I get to enjoy it all the way to the bank.

Well. At least you have a plan.
How the hell can they miss spell "slashdot"? I-n-t-e-r-n-e-t isn't even close!

Wow. I didn't even think of that. :-) I would love to just buy a season pass of my favorite shows and just cancel my cable completely.

Just means I will have to get my SAN up and running. 1 TB of storage is cheap enough now.
