PGPfone does still run under Windows and the source is available. Zfone (also by Phil Zimmerman, is a new secure VoIP program. Gizmo and Skype also have encryption (though they're closed source).
Polya is a genius. He is concise and yet insightful. His How to Solve It is also recommended. It is geared towards mathematics, but can be applied elsewhere. His methodology can be summed up as:
Pocket Ref has been lauded as a "shirtpocket database of tech info" It has an amazing number of diverse charts and tables for unit conversion, materials properties, standards used by different countries, etc. Combine that with a book of engineering formulas (like this one) and you're set.
I wonder whether the URL could be sniffed in some way, by monitoring what Quicken does. I assume that the connection itself is encrypted, but I'm not sure if that includes encrypting the URL as the file is requested or not...
I'd imagine you'd be able to sniff some of these URLs. If not, I'd be a bit concerned--it could mean that Intuit has a machine acting as an intermediary & could therefore have access to my data. But getting this out of money is easy.
I was under the impression that the Quicken protocol was proprietary from end to end, and that it was something more complicated than an HTTP download of a QIF file.
OFX, which is currently used, is actually documented and agreed on by MS, Intuit, and CheckFree.
Do the GNUCash people maintain their own database of bank's OFX URLs?
Not formally, so far as I know. Some have been announced to the list & their are user sites that have this information. I don't know whether there would be an issue disclosing these (depending on how they were discovered). Jeremy's site is the best way to get them that I know of.
So if you're a hard-core Linux/Open-Source geek, then sure, Moneydance doesn't hold a lot of sway over GnuCash. But if you're a more casual user who just wants to know how much money they've got to spend on Guitar Hero II, then Moneydance rocks.
But Quicken and MS Money are often available free after rebate & are the de facto standards. While I'd imagine that the datafile format and the "mandatory upgrade cycle" of Monedance MIGHT be better (it'd be hard to be worse!), since Quicken & Money are so common, it is trivial to get their data into truly free software.
Why use Moneydance over free as in beer Money or Quicken?
I don't understand the appeal of MoneyDance any more.
Gnucash runs well and Mac and Linux and can be subverted to run under windows. It also handles multiple currencies (including treating stocks/bonds/funds and other commodities as a different currency & allowing user-defined currencies), does online banking, and check printing. The front page can show you the balance on every main account and any sub-accounts you choose to expand. It can also list all of these in you "native" currency. The main window also shows net assets/profits (and I believe can be customized to show other information (I know the gtk+-1.0 versions could)).
Finally, it is free/open source software that has proven itself for longer than MoneyDance has been around.
But in the U.S., I think only Quicken and MS Money will do it.
You've heard wrong. Gnucash and QBankManager support OFX direct connect throgh AqBanking (I'd imagine that MoneyDance and KMyMoney probably support it too by now too, but don't use them). The only trick, as another poster pointed out, was finding the URL for your banking institution. MS Money and Intuit Quicken have large databases of such things (and even have agreements with banks to not disclose the URL to any other third parties or get kickbacks from some banks for referrals). This connection information has been extracted from the commercial software and/or "discovered" for many institutions & you can find it on the web. So direct connect will work, but the setup may take a bit of work.
I solve that by using GnuCash. The datafile is synced on the *nix machines I use. I have used it over VNC and X in Windows (but now you can build it on your windows machine).
If you're looking for someone else's server to run this on, Yodlee is your best bet.
If you're looking to run a webapp on your own server, try SQL-Ledger.
The backend worked in the 1.8 series. If it is vital to have, you can probably still run an older version (though you won't have gtk+-2). The developers are currently working on a SQL backend, but it might take awhile.
The FW Finance faq: Free and Open Source Finance Applications at fatwallet lists other F/OSS applications, as well as a lot of useful links. The favorite of the FAQ is GnuCash & there are links on how to run it in Windows and OS X.
Compose message to context works for me on Linux in 1.5.0.7. Are you running the official 32-bit build or an unofficial 64-bit build? Have you tried a fresh profile? If so, did you report to bugzilla?
Hmm. Of course, GNU/tar presented us with tar xzvf which bundles and compresses in one step.
Ah--but GNU tar still depends on a separate gzip executable to be present for this magic to work. 'tar' is still decoupled from 'gzip', but there is "syntactic sugar" to type fewer keystrokes to get your pipe.
The only comment he made was here, where he said it was meant for porting to other Operating Systems (as opposed to distributions). But other Linux distros follow this policy & other Mozilla people have agreed that it could be appropriate.
Mozilla people have stated that the Community Edition Policy (listed as draft) is still valid. In the Debian bug on this issue, some Debian devs are considering it. A lot of the Mozilla marketing people seem to be unaware of it & didn't list it as an option.
This policy seems to be a good fit--Debian MUST NOT include the image which is under a non-DFSG copyright to conform to this policy (they don't want to and currently don't include it, but the NEW "standard trademark policy" is that it must be used if the Firefox name is used). And they must rename it "Firefox Community Edition, Debian." This seems preferable to Ice Weasel for both the majority of Debian users and Mozilla's image. OpenBSD already follows this policy, as do others. If the CEP is ever dropped, there will be many more distros who will be forced to switch to "Ice Weasel."
If you're too lazy to bump the maxversion of your favorite extensions, you can use the Nightly Tester Tools to fore the app into thinking an extension is compatible.
One of my favorite aspects of Firefox 2 is the new features for developers, including storage with SQLite. This enables neat things like the new Zotero extension, which stores bibliographic data (a'la Endnote, but with automatic recognition of metadata by programs like refbase and on sites like google scholar).
A wise man would let this thread die. But since you've never argued that I was wise...
As noted before, you seem to have a problem applying words like "constantly" and "always" where they are clearly false.
If it is clearly false, please show me where I claimed copyright is the same as trademark,
Both are trademarks, as noted previously.
Do you delight in pointing out the obvious? No post in this thread has tried to state the contrary. Both of us have echoed this statement already.
Centos, Whitebox etc... remove all trademarks and references to "RedHat" as per conditions of re-packaging their SRPMS. Debian can do the same, and probably will with Firefox.
You stated "Without patching the kernel, why would they have to call it another name?"The only change many of these distributions made, at least in the beginning, was to remove the Red Hat trademarks. They did not patch any code, yet they obviously had to rename their distribution. I presented these distros as evidence that a duplicate product does not have the automatic right to the trademark. You've seemed to abandon your thesis and embraced mine. Thank you.
I've made my point,
Which is what? You've certainly repeated the mantra that the logo is trademarked. I've not disagreed with it! You never really addressed the point that it is also under copyright. If your point is supposed to be that you know about IP and I don't, I'm not really seeing how you've proven that either.
and I haven't seen how your arguments have undermined it.
My arguments have, from the beginning, stated that copyright is an addition concern in this case. You've not refuted that.
When you conflate a copyright and trademark, that does not make a problem in my argument. They are different protections for different purposes.
Are you arguing with yourself? I have always said a copyright and trademark are separate. I have also always maintained that they can (but need not) both be used. You failed to catch this "subtlety." You still seem to.
Perhaps you should double checked if the mozilla-firefox package is in main or non-free before making that claim.
It is in main. And it doesnot use the logo. It does use the trademark "Mozilla Firefox." If it were to use the logo, it would have to go in non-free. I'm beating a dead horse here.
Mozilla said they would grant permission for trademark use on the contingency that the logo was also used.
The logo is a trademark.
No shit. The words "Mozilla Firefox" are also a trademark. Mozilla originally granted Debian permission to use the words "Mozilla Firefox" without the need to use the logo (which is under both trademark and copyright protection).
Drug stores do not take Tylenol and put their own label on it. The issue you presented is one of distribution, not replication. Inability to track the details of your own argument does not represent a problem in mine.
Some generics are made and bottled by the same manufacturers as brand name products. For all intents and purposes, they are identical. That doesn't mean the trademark can be used to describe them.
Or, closer to your home: How about "Red Hat Enterprise Linux" repackaged as "CentOS," "Lineox," "Pie Box Enterprise Linux," "Scientific Linux," or "White Box Enterprise Linux."
Trademark law is simple here. You cannot call a product or service under the same or a similar name as one which is trademarked if it might reasonably cause consumer confusion, unless you are the trademark holder or have permissions from the trademark holder.
At this point you are flailing around hoping for some rope to climb out with. You can continue to flail if you wish, but I suggest you have someone you trust look at this thread to help you understand what happened here.

Amazon has subscriptions and back issues.

- No row/column limits (meant to be a database that has been customized for finance)
- Automatic management of currency and commodities (GnuCash even lets you download conversions as a cronjob)
- All accounts are already "linked" (updating one updates others)
- Auto or manual import of standard financial data
- Customized reporting/graphing
- More intelligent auto-completion of transactions
- Check printing
- Wizards/Druids for budgeting, mortgages, etc.
While you can get some of this in spreadsheets (with varying amounts of work), some of these are so impractical as to be infeasible in spreadsheets.I suggested a fresh profile to test whether the bug could be because of a broken profile or because of how his build worked on his OS.
You can always import the (mbox-formatted) mail from your old profile to the new one.
I don't use MozBackup (my entire home directory is part of a regular backup), so can't tell you what it does.
You cna check out the roadmap or download the alpha.

In the game, it was called "Elerium 115" (after the 115th element). This has been synthesized.
Except that AMANDA now has tape spanning.
