I agree. Thunderbird in its current form is an Outlook Express alternative. I couldn't care less about calendering as I never use it in Outlook anyway.
So will this mark the beginning of the end for the venerable OLGA? That was one of my first discoveries when I was but a lad on the Internet and it really opened my eyes to the fact that the Internet was more than just the MUD on the college network. I'd hate to see it threatened.
"Actually I heard these type of devices require you blow in them at intervals not just to start the car."
That seems obvious now that you mention it. Otherwise dedicated drunk drivers would simple cruise around drinking or else they could leave their cars running while they got toasted at the bar.
...the age-old childhood strategy of asking for something you're certain of never obtaining in order to make the follow-up request seem more reasonable than it truly is. (i.e. Calvin asking his Mom if he can ride his bike on the roof of the house, getting denied, then following up with the hardly objectionable request for cookies before supper.)
The main point of the article is that Abiword has more potential than OpenOffice because it can be more easily extended with other GPL projects. He only mentions grammar checking and LaTeX as specific examples.
First of all HBO isn't "screwing up a network". All the other copywritten material available via bittorrent is still uncorrupted.
Secondly, what situation are you imagining where the roles are reversed (a person doing this to a company)? One that I can think of is poisoning an email address harvester. Some sort of bot comes to your website looking for email addresses to add to a spam list and you've got a script set up that feeds it millions of junk email addresses. I don't think you can be arrested for that.
I like how the OP describes the two linked articles (Forbes and Infoworld) as if they're commenting on the importance of a web-based office suite offered by Google. The Forbes article simply discusses how the story has been overblown in the absence of any technical details and the Infoworld article "counters" Forbes by saying that OpenOffice is worth a second look and that while converting macros could be a problem they have tools to help with that.
Some people just get too excited about submitting an article to Slashdot. They really need to slow down and read what they're posting.
It sounds like they removed features other than the hidden sex scenes to avoid the AO rating. Are these changes summarized anywhere? I don't care about the "Hot Coffee" stuff but I'm not interested in buying the game if anything else has been removed.

Is this going to degrade the quality of the image even further than digital cable already does with all its compression artifacts?
"serious intellectual discussion"
Let me know when you find one of those here.
"but it does require the styrofoam to be heated first."
What will they demand next? Some rolls and butter?
NewEgg doesn't offer net terms to businesses. This is probably the main reason they don't appear on most company's approved vendor lists.
What does S-Video have to do with resolutions?
He mentioned S-Video originally because some video cards offer that as an output option.
"so why dont the US kill this stupid format?"
It was scheduled to be phased out on 01/03/02 but, well...you can guess what happened.
What happened in the Pacific that we have to pay them back for?
It's not "just laying around" and the article says exactly what it's for.

Neal Stephenson's Snowcrash uses this idea. Show a particular image to someone in the virtual world and they turn into a vegetable.
Do you really need to know both their ages?

So what cookies are they eyeing?

Why did Scotty even need transparent aluminum? Plate steel makes a fine whale aquarium.
It'd be a crying shame if no one with mod points got that reference.

Nothing. Where does the article say that it does?
Do you really think the police want people calling them about traffic events like the one he described?

It still doesn't confirm that it's a web appliction. Maybe it just starts up your local copy of the OpenOffice apps if you have it installed.
That's not a CNT ribbon they're testing with.
