In case you want to know where IBM tested this system in the wild, turn your eyes to that beautiful Swedish capital with those Nobel prizes and even more beautiful Swedish people. Even though Sweden is known to be egalitarian, those who seemingly profit most of the tax are wealthy inner-city inhabitants with their SUV's. As long as they stay within the congestion zone, it's free to roam & block the streets.
I came to the page, and everything looked like before (good). I logged in, and all texts were bold (bad). Please please please, can you check what's wrong? All this bold text makes me wanna crawl under my bed & be afraid... or so. Blah.
Windows Installer
Thunderbird now comes with an installer for Windows making it easier than ever to start using Thunderbird!
Sucks. This means that you have to go into the Control Panel & do all the blablabla to uninstall the application. I found it much easier to simply delete the app folder & unzip the new version in the same place. But I guess that the average user is rather familiar with a "real" installer...
Right-click the folder's name and use "Compact this Folder" from time to time. Removes the leftovers from old mails from the index file. Eudora has the same stuff, for example, so it's not an example for a sucky mail client, but for an architecture I don't really understand because I'm not a developer:-D
SuSE is also the most proprietary of Linuxes, and there's not alot of support for it online...
I agree with the first part of the sentence, but the second isn't entirely correct:
1. the SuSE support database is a really comprehensive knowledge base about all SuSE versions. In about 90 per cent of all questions I've had about configuring my system, I found the answer there.
2. rpmseek.com is your friend:)
I wouldn't be so sure about that. If you check the usual suspects among the Bittorrent sites, you'll find an increasing number of DVD images floating around the net. Guess it'll take only a couple of days after the release until you can get the stuff.
I don't know if they've already stopped building the car, but Audi will discontinue the A2, thus abandoning this concept again. Guess it was too expensive for both building the car (based on the Audi Space Frame, it's almost completely aluminium, which is still pretty expensive to use in mass car production) and servicing it (if you have to take it to the garage, the technicians have to disassemble much more than in other cars, spending more time on it). So in the end, the customer is screwed several times because the car is so damn expensive.
Ballmer said security "occupies a lot of my (mental) bandwidth" these days, and while much still needs to be done to satisfy customers, Microsoft is making "incredible progress" with its 2-year-old Trustworthy Computing strategy.
That's probably the reason why my Windows machine at work has downloaded the same security update about ten times in the last two weeks. Nice to watch progress in the making...
Thus far, the company has been hesitant to ship an open-source driver, based on its concerns that showing Centrino's underlying programming instructions might reveal previously unavailable information about the wireless networking technology.
And probably other stuff, too... but that's just a wild guess.
I mean, good intentions, and kudos to NASA to get that infrastructure up and running, but it will probably take some more years before this really starts to make sense.
I guess it won't be used for routing traffic to gameservers...
I've only recently started using Linux on a day-by-day basis, and after installing Debian unstable I switched directly to 2.6, without ever compiling a 2.4 kernel. That worked without a hitch, so now I'm wondering if the difference is so big. I still have an old Pentium I around the house, and I'm thinking of making this one a firewall/IDS... and so far I'm not sure if 2.6 was a little overkill for that one...
So they changed the material due to environmental reasons, but as it turns out, this new material produces a lot of unnecessary electronic waste that's pretty hard to recycle. That sucks.
Its not like Microsoft invented crap software, its been around forever.
Absolutely true, but Windows is much more common in private households than Solaris - and I guess that the Windows issues still trouble a lot of users.
2) The system runs fairly stable (not quite as stable as XP, but I crash maybe 1x per week).
Note how Windows has changed our way of looking at computer systems & technology in general - something that only breaks down about once a week is considered fairly stable. Makes me shiver...

Er... because of Elmer FUDd?! Just a thought...
Projectplace
eRoom
Webex (even if Webex uses some client that connects to their server)
I wouldn't say that the era of web based software has come, but it's well on its way.
ah cool :) guess I should have checked the FTP server instead of only looking for the zip file on the website. Thanks!

Calendar extension for Thunderbird. Have fun :)

...obviously the ./ crowd has killed another site. Just when I found the "Free scripts for your web site" section. Boo!
Nah. It was these dudes who are responsible for wine, and it hasn't been around that long.
Yeah, I know this was REALLY lame, but I simply couldn't resist.

or as we say in German: slashdotted. Darn.

Wonder if this comment was really supposed to be funny... but I actually had my laugh at it.

...but when are we going to have the ununceleron, ununathlon, ununopteron & ununitanium?

Law enforcement... cool. Now the cops can keep their 50kV stun guns charged all the time!Its not like Microsoft invented crap software, its been around forever.
