can't say i have ever felt like complaining about the 2sec wait between sending an email and making the next move. Never actually noticed it before myself.
Every 6 months or so I'll try running my gmail via imap on outlook/evolution/thunderbird and always go back to the web interface.
Maybe its that another bookmark is easier to handle than another application? maybe the gmail interface / search is vastly superior to those desktop clients? Maybe its just personal preference?
The book was released in 2008 and Drupal has gone through major changes in the last year. Its still a constantly evolving platform and a year later the book isn't so relevant. Back then it was though.
Because once you understand it as a developer, its insanely flexible. But I agree the learning curve is hardcore. Out of the box Drupal isn't good for much except simple community-type sites. Some work is being done to fix this. Google for Development Seed, Features and Small Core to see the direction Drupal is heading. Also investigate the CCK and Views module. None of the other packages mentioned come anywhere near this functionality.
But of course, use whatever software works for you:)
you need to upgrade through each version to get to 9.10. also systems never seem to work as well once they go through dist upgrades so in my opinion its best to start afresh. Sooo... stick with what ya got.
Yeah Drupal does exactly what the GP describes, just it needs a bit of elbow grease to get it to work nicely.
A big discussion lately in the communnity has revolved around 'features', which would bind together collections of modules, and module configuration into an easy to deploy package.
I think this will ultimately make Drupal much more accessible to newbies.
Lets say I hypothetically have 200 gigs of music stored away in my secret bunker. At 4 meg per file thats about 50,000 songs. At $2 a song it would cost me $100,000 to legitimise my collection. Thats totally unfeasible.
If they were selling an album averaging 10 songs for 99 cents then it would cost me $5000, something which I could feasibly pay over a decade.
Surely if they dropped the price low enough they would make the profits back in volume?
My hypothetical friends and hypothetical I don't want 30 CDs in our collection like our parents have. We want something we can put in our hand that contains every song we have ever heard. And violating copyright is the only realistic way to do that at the moment.
There is an onscreen keyboard default with Ubuntu anyway - its called 'onboard'. Its an accessibility feature, so I'm not sure how well it would work with a touchscreen.
If its not, I imagine it wouldn't be too hard for an interested programmer to turn it into something nice.
This page: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile says Ubuntu MID has touchscreen support. I think the project is still early, so I'm not sure how good it is, but work is being done in that direction. So most of the applications of touch will be covered soon enough.
I think Good Old Games (gog.com) is the future of gaming. 5-10$ DRM Free games. while they don't have the latest games, they have some great classics and the collection is growing every week. If they do well enough and build a big enough user base maybe they will be able to pull some of the bigger gaming houses. Lets hope.
I like games. I would buy a heap more games if they were cheap. I've bought too many for $50 and played them for only an hour or two. So fuck that.

Somehow I think rendering Pixar movies is not on the Chromium supported list. It's clearly aimed at the netbook market.

I'm sure if you had that setup and half a brain cell in your head, you would retire a millionaire regardless of copyright law.
Worked for me today with RC & intel 64bit.

for a start, the backlash from every person and business that uses banking websites?
Hey Bazza, I think Shakrai's got a few roos loose in the top paddock.
Ubuntu Jaunty using Firefox:
Can I also drop that jpg onto the desktop, and have it sit there as a file?
Yep
Or onto a folder in a file manager?
Yep
Or into a word processing document (say, Abiword) and have it automatically embed?
Openoffice would paste the HTML. But if you use the context menu in firefox to choose copy image then you can paste it directly into writer.
"digital nomad" is a lot easier when you are your own boss.
It sounds like the sound of a lightbulb popping up over someones head in a cartoon. maybe thats what they are getting at?
And he's modded insightful lol. If you can't tell the difference between a Mexican and an Afghani you are lacking in insight, to be sure.

sudo apt-get install p7zip
then use nautilus and file roller?
or is there some feature you miss? just curious..
That should get better when Compiz lands MXP. For more details on that see: http://smspillaz.wordpress.com/2009/02/21/input-redirection-mpx-and-nomad/

i think you underrate the power and ubiquity of the web.
