Trying not to be self centered here, but since most of the WIndows C++ (MFC) Developers left, most of the MFC bugs have gone to yours truly!!
I work for a Treasury Solutions workshop that uses every technology under the sun for its applications. Mainly MFC based applications for the presentation layer. Unfortunately, management saw that I managed to fix some c++ bugs that any noob could do and decided to hand me the rest of the development tasks.
Having no MFC C++/Windows Development Experience (Just Java/Oracle), I am hating every day at work and the highlight of my day is going to the coffee shop (we call it Cibo o'Clock) to get a Grande Latte with some good workmates who fortunately enough has dodged this piece of work.
Basically, at the end of the day, the bottom line is that either:
a) I put up and shut up.
b) Put a gun to my head and pull the trigger:)

Just curious..... does anybody think there is a possibility that Thunderbird will support Exchange Mail/Lotus Notes. Unfortunately we both use Domino and Exchange Servers at Deutsche Bank:(
Forgive my ignorance but I have a curious question about debian.. is there an unstable distro of debian out there (iso) that has all the latest packages like gnome 2.4.1, kde 3.1.x, etc. It would be nice to have a weekly iso with all the up to date packages.
I hope we see this feature in the upcoming Palm OS release.
Im still personally deciding whether I should invest in a Palm, 2nd hand iPAQ or a Dell (not sure if its possible to purchase a Dell X5 from Australia)
Personal Views & MP9 DRM

Real DRM

It is my personal opinion that Real Network doesnt choose to listen what the consumers want in a media client. This is why they are loosing in the market. Personally, I gave up using Real Player during 7.0 and it was tedious using their client back then. Now they have added DRM to their bloated clients. Real Media is heading in the opposite direction, if they intend to grab some of their market share back.
I hope this aint going off topic, but I read on Reuters that Microsoft intends to release their DRM software on the Linux Platform, providing the Linux Community does steal the code for their own benefits. Would this mean just the DRM component or will we see Media Player 9 for Linux Distributions? Time will only tell..... Nevertheless I am really enjoying using Mplayer, since it can play any formats imaginable.

There are some policies in place but some of the 'approved' applications slows down productivity :)
