I've been using Drupal since a while now. When I need a "community" or "journal" Web site, I use Drupal. (Don't say 'blog', please... Please don't. I hate the word.)
A few of my sites are multilingual, hence I use the i18n module available on their site. It does require you to modify a few little things in the initial database and to apply patches on the source code, but it works. Also, after applying the patches, not only can you put links to switch languages, but also the URLs are simple:/en/ for English,/fr/ for French, etc.
Plus, Drupal has a good API. That's why I like it so much.
But maybe the W3C could be an authoritative entity certifying Web browsers for compliance, or another method would be to declare that all browsers not complying to the standards cannot be called Web browsers.
This is weak, I know.
Same goes for the.NET name. Why can Microsoft freely use a name that is from a TLD? I didn't hear any complaints about that!
I thought there was already a similar software doing the same thing a few years ago... I think it was called The Palace.
Probably someone already mentioned that.
I used to work for a company who had a contract with Bell Sympatico. I recently quit my job just in time, as the MSN services just started to be offered as a valued product with the Sympatico Internet access services.
This means that the staff was doomed to all support the MSN products, including MSN Messenger, which we used to be outside our scope of support. We were already having enough fun with customers settings up their Internet access and trying to sell crappy antivirus software... Imagine now inserting pictures in HTML e-mails with customers who can't double-click. I'm glad I'm not there!
The Canadian company I worked with also had contracts with some American ISPs.
I got a two day suspension for it! (highschool)
Be proud that it was harder to get a suspension than our high school.
If you were doing an incorrect shutdown of the computer and the ScanDisk was coming up on next reboot, the last user was getting a 2-day suspension. They claimed ScanDisk "could severly damage the computer".
It's about damn time Hotmail increases their storage. Gmail had to exist for them to move their ass.
I remember when I opened my first Hotmail account. Hotmail was fresh, not owned by Microsoft. There was no frames, JavaScript, or Fisher-Price colours. Just e-mail. And you were able to check POP accounts for free!
The interface was simple... Actually, it reminds me of the simplicity of Google's interface of today! In that time, you just had an image map at the top and the same at the bottom. Simple links to reply, compose a message, set your preferences, and log out.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in that time, you did had 2 MB for free... AND IT STILL IS THE SAME TODAY!!! 2MB was fine before -- almost everybody was using dial-up. But times have changed now, and most free Web-based e-mail providers are already giving more than 2MB (and now 1GB with Gmail!), but cheap Microsoft was stuck at 2MB!!! Instead they would sell a few MBs for dollars per year!
Microsoft. Your potential. Our profit.
At the time Microsoft bought Hotmail, I started hating the service. Actually, I started hating Web-based e-mail services altogether! Even though I have my own Gmail account now, I had my own POP3/IMAP account for I while now and I'm glad with that.

MSN is not offered in Canada?
Anyways, it is now! Sympatico MSN
