I just wonder if the answer will change once high-capacity USB thumb drives become more prevalent. I can imagine my users with a 50 gig USB thumbdrive that they can plug in anywhere (home or at the office) to have access to their own personalized system.
Checked out a number of the sites listed here and Flyspray looks really great. I'm going to have to check it out.

Top Mice Compared

I hate to disagree, but in this case I must. I used one of these mice and found the resolution to be dreadful. I suppose if you are still running at 800x600, then you probably don't experience it. However when you run at high resolutions, the mouse is very imprecise. If you are using it for word processing or browsing the Internet it is probably fine, but for Photoshop or gaming it becomes an impediment.
Personally I don't understand why Logitech doesn't make a gaming trackball with a very high resolution and multiple buttons. I recently gave up my 7 year old Logitech Trackman (3 button) mouse for a Razer Diamondback. I wish they'd kept the original Boomslang feel, but despite that, I loved this mouse enough to come back from the trackball.
When will Slashdot embrace Firefox? Slashdot's sub-pages often do not render correctly in Firefox. The layers of the articles often overlaps with the left side contents menus making it unreadable. Sometimes a refresh works, sometimes it doesn't.
Arguing over whether or not Open Source Software causes job losses is illogical. Following that same premise, Gates would agree that viruses and security holes are good things. After all, look at all the jobs that those problems have created. You have a billion dollar industry that has developed because of the insecurities in Windows operating systems. Maybe this is the reason why it took them so long to fix the latest Internet Explorer bugs? Just think of all the jobs created because of it!
Unless I missed it, the article fails to mention anything about Office 2003's Sharepoint portal. Although sold as a separate product, this is the next step in the evolution of office products. From what I can tell, OpenOffice is still competing with 1998-2000 era products for base functionality. For small-medium offices, Sharepoint can become an entire document management system and workflow all integrated very tightly with Office 2003.
Say I'm creating an Outlook 2003 group appointment. With 2 clicks (inside Outlook), I can create a portal site for the meeting which includes a discussion list, document/picture library, agenda, surveys, etc. No programming and very easy for the average user to accomplish.
Say I'm in Word working on a document and I'd like to get my attorney to look at it. With 2 clicks (inside Word), I can create a portal site to allow him to review the document. We can discuss it using the discussion features, and he can create different versions. Using the web folders functionality, this entire process is seemless (no downloading the file locally, editing it, and uploading...just hit save and it saves automatically back to the portal).
While it's nice to hear that Sony is actually making it to market with this, I have to wonder what the lifespan of such a device would be. Especially when you compare it to the near paper thin E-ink offering by Fujitsu:
I have a previous version of Friedl's book and found it needlessly confusing. The author's examples often leave much to be desired. I have no doubt that all of the information about regex is somewhere in the book, but it takes an extraordinary amount of work on the reader's part to extract it.

Here's an article that discusses a previous scam for $170 mil. It's an excellent read:

Mod parent up! Exactly what I was going to say.
LOL If they think Exchange is expensive...wait until they get a load of Citrix.

That's exactly what I thought. What better way to promote his amazon.com referral fee?
