The screenshots are all from IE. Any idea if Firefox and Opera would be supported? I know Outlook Web Access for Exchange servers does support both these browsers, but unlike IE, the interface in them does not resemble Outlook that much. They do a browser detect and then accordingly modify the interface. This, of course, breaks if, for example, I set Opera to identify itself as IE.
Microsoft raised the default storage allotment to 2 GB, as per Google, but still requires customers to purchase Hotmail Plus at $19.95 a year to access the service via Outlook Express, Outlook, or other POP3-based email clients.
I've been using Oultook Express and Outlook to access Hotmail for a long time now, and I never paid a penny. Of course, I don't get to use other "kool" features like calendar access and stuff, which I don't use anyways.
I did and I hope others too, that's probably why I don't see a lawmaker from Maryland listed there.
What about these other states? Also, do you think these lawmakers really listen to appeals by the voting public in their region or do they just do a "yes-sir" job for the likes of MPAA and RIAA.
When I developed a quick and dirty table-less CSS-based website using the sample code from glish, I always wondered why our beloved Slashdot is still using tables for layout. I couldn't be happier than I am to find that new code does away with those overused TABLE tags. Way to go!
The MSN toolbar does this already. Thanks to the websites which allow only IE (sarcasm), I have to use it sometimes.
The tabbed browsing experience with it is slow, buggy, and poorly designed - doesn't even come close to Firefox.
Thankfully, the toolbar lets me choose which search engine to use, so I don't need both MSN and Google toolbars.
I never knew that such a thing (Wayback Machine) existed!
I almost cried tears of joy to find that while I had to take down (when the hosts started charging) the sites I developed during my college years long back, almost all of it, including all changes, is there!
Bwahaha!!!

I strongly support this move.
Ideally I'd like to see Microsoft selling their software (good or bad - let's keep that out of discussion) at a more reasonable price, esp. in the third-world countries.
I've personally met people, originally from third-world countries, currently living/studying in the US who can't break out of the mindset of getting software for free. These guys will order a Dell machine with XP Home, format the disk, then ask their friend for a copy of XP Pro. If they can pay $15 per head per month for shared broabdband access, they sure as hell can buy a legit copy. Or, use Linux.
Last time I checked, Microsoft provides updates on CD as well. Maybe they'll come-up with a model to ensure that genuine users can get update via ways other than downloads.
Ireland might very well be the first nation to convert *all* its theaters to digital. However, digital projection has, quite surprisingly, been in use for almost a year and half in some small town theaters in India.
The reason? These small cinemas would have to wait at the end of the queue and get a "film" copy months after the nationwide release. And of course, the copy is used, and often poor quality. It costs much less to have an electronic copy distributed from Mumbai (India's Hollywood - or, Bollywood, as they call it), stored on hard-disks, and then projected using a digital projector. And of course, this means releases reach smalltowns faster and quality is as good as a new print.
I just tried installing the client on my WinXP box, and the Microsoft Antispyware Beta running on it immediately detected an adware bundle (starts with a "G", I forgot the exact name) being installed.
I'm not sure if it was a false alarm, but I sure wouldn't install it again! I'd rather go for Peercast, if I must.
I mean not exactly *how* to do it, but the first time my co. gave me a laptop and a Kensington lock, I was like "This is it? Is it safe enough?". Thankfuly, my office was safe enough!:)
The day my company starts charging for broadband at home, I'm out of here!!!
Right now the co. pays for a cell and pager which we carry once in a few weeks by rotation. Also, we have DSL connections at home to respond to issues.
And yes, I have a co.-provided laptop so that the assholes can call me and ask me to work whenever required. Talk about work-life effectiveness!
I don't know whether working as an IT-support guy with the #1 CPU manufacturer is a boon or a curse.
And they say I'm suffering from OCD when I make it a point to take a shower before changing when I return home if I used a public pot during the day. Or when I clean my desktop *and* notebook almost every other day. Or wipe clean things which were ouched by others. Or wash hands too frequently, esp. when Mr. Dirty shook hands. Or....
OK, maybe I do too much, but some amount of cleanliness can help. Beyond that, let your immune system take care.
Totally agree with you! I mean a certain level of cleanliness *should* be maintained, but beyond a level it is best to let your immune system take care of things.
On a similar note, would you expect a Windows.NET Standard Server (RC1) to run smoothly (and perhaps even better than Windows 2000 or XP or some other "desktop" OS) on an old 333MHz Cyrix MII with 1MB Video RAM? Neither did I, until I saw it rock on my system - the only plus I had was a 192MB of RAM and sufficient hard-disk for about 400 MB swap space. I'm pretty sure these requirements were way low by standards of the official ones mentioned on he site. Anyways, was fun while it lasted (it was a time-limited trial edition of RC1)!
Slashdot Mirror
And what player would that be? I'm looking to buy one which supports all these.
And I thought, OE and Oultook were the only tools clients that support HTTP access to webmail.

Why not just leave it blank? Or why not one of the Linux/*BSD distros?

How does this story fall under "Hardware"? Any clues Zonk?
