you're not getting it. Think of how many times Nigerian scam emails have been sent, to how many millions of people. No actual mailing list or legit promotion has that level of repetition. the sheer *volume* of nearly identical spam becomes the easiest way to flag it as spam.
Google will soon have the largest searchable archive of spam and ham messages in existence. Their spam filter will be *tight*, because it will be able to use pagerank in reverse. 2 trillion emails contained links to goatse? SPAM. Only 30 messages link to whitehouse.gov? Let it through. Remember, the same spam messages get sent repeatedly. Storing all of that gives you a massive working set.
In a year, will point at this post and say I told you so.
So what if their patent library is huge? Their revenue stream does not depend on income from litigous bastardism, so any lawsuits they brought about would probably be resolved quietly and without fuss. Having seen the costs and the backlash, IBM will not act in the immature, illegal, and incomprehensible manner that is the trademark of SCO in this case.
It doesn't just search US merchants; I found one of my own non-US sites listed in froogle. True, it's a.com, but that's no indication of location these days.
Yeah right. The other day I saw a programmer write a.NET aspx page that provided a command shell, with full permissions on his computer. Very scary, especially since he just used a built-in library and no hacks..NET is not going to suddenly make people write good code. Windows will continue to have exploitable holes for the foreseeable future.
In the meantime, I'm running clamAV, Amavis, and spamassassin on my mail servers and haven't been happier.
The blank media levy and the legal loopholes associated with it allow you to make copies of things you already have. It doesn't allow you to upload your files(legally obtained or not) to others. You'll note that the Canadian music industry is going after *uploaders*, not downloaders.
Don't be so sure; I wouldn't be surprised to see a message saying, "this security update is incompatible with the following programs, please remove them: mozilla, firebird, opera,..."
It's all part of the 'secure computing' initiative. The fewer vendors you are dealing with, the more secure it is, right?
actually, linux's "saving grace" is that patching it can be accomplished easily, and sometimes even automatically. Windows update tries to do this, but that only takes care of the MS products. apt-get update;apt-get upgrade will make sure every one of your 1000s of packages are up-to-date. Add a cron job or a shiny button, tada(have any distros done this?)

The reviewer's inability to find these simple, basic pre-installed options in Outlook calls into question the thoroughness of the review
The reviewer's inability to find these simple, basic pre-installed options in Outlook calls into question the usability of Outlook as an email client. Digging 4 levels deep into the configuration dialogs isn't exactly 'simple'.
It wouldn't be fair to review a trial/crippleware version of a closed source mail client(i.e. Outlook Express), and I doubt he wanted to buy licenses for programs he was only going to use for a day.
As for pegasus, I'm not sure he was aware that it existed.
If you had ever used it, you would know that resizing the window rearranges the toolbox. So if you want a 2 column toolbox, make it skinnier and taller. If you want a 2 row toolbox, make it longer and shorter. It doesn't get any easier than that.
I haven't registered Opera, partly because I really like how it shows Google ads in the banner area (but mostly I'm cheap). Google and Opera have been working together for a while, and I love it; IPOs for either one would benefit both.
On the "advise" (really more like repeated nagging, which seems to be fairly common from BSD enthusiasts) of a friend, I went with OpenBSD when setting up a server a year or two ago. Even after getting over the culture-shock, I ended up not liking it very much. I've gone back to debian, which I'm confident is every bit as secure, and is easier to admin.
I found the installer to be utterly cryptic, filled with unexplained single letter commands. I should not need a $40 reference book to install the freaking OS. Once it was up and running I was fairly comfortable, except for the propensity to scatter config files/etc around the filesystem. Maybe debian has spoiled me, but I expect to find *all* config files under/etc. Having to go searching for httpd.conf in/usr/local/etc or maybe/var/www/conf *really* bugs me.
Then of course there is their reputation for security. They would have people believe that there has never been a root exploit; in reality, that only actually applies to the "base" system. I do like that the secure by default thing; having to specifically enable services is a good idea(getting the choice while installing is better though).
The stereo in my living room is hooked up to my roommate's computer, which runs win2k. I don't have a login on it, so whenever I want to listen to my mp3s in the living room, I toss in a knoppix CD. It detects everything and works great.

Why would you need to catch the stds when they're right there in /usr/include?
Oh, wait.

We prefer "True North Strong and Free". And I'm proud to live here.

This is what package managers are for. Any program that overwrites the config file from another program is broken and should be fixed.
According to packages.debian.org's search: links-ssl 0.96.20020409-2 is in stable w3m-ssl 0.3-2.4 is in stable naim is not in any release.

I found that yes, it is as easy as all that. Drag, drop, burn. My only complaint is that it took about 2 months to remember the name.
I view Outlook Express as the crippleware(not trial) version of Outlook. Perhaps I'm giving it too much credit.

If the Gimp is close enough to Photoshop to make them do that, why would anyone pay for Photoshop/Linux when they could just use the Gimp for free?

technically the root of the internet is military, not university.

I shudder at the thought as well. oh, wait.
