Plan9 has some really cool ideas, the more Unix than Unix everything-as-a-file paradigm, the network transparent file system, directory merging, the list goes on and on.
But I just can't get past the mouse-intensive UI. I absolutely hate it.
Actually, I thought OS X was DisplayPDF, a descendent of DisplayPostscript. It's vector driven and superior to bitmapping in every way except raw speed, but it's not 3D.
Mutt does this. And it's MIME compliant, so any non-text attachments can be opened by the associated program in your mailcap file. Mine is set up to open HTML in mozilla (if I'm running X) or lynx, and open images with display (ImageMagick). You can associate a program for every MIME type...
You go on about how people should be responsible for their own actions, and then place all the blame on his mother?
The man was 21 years old for Pete's sake. Yes, perhaps she should have taken more steps to intervene and get him help, but he was no more her responsibility than anyone else's.
You don't know the difference between patent and copyright, do you?
Microsoft would make just as much money if the patent system was done away with... it would be just as illegal to copy Windows under copyright law, and, with the closed source code, it would be just as hard to reverse engineer.
Patents have little to do with open-source vs. closed-source, the majority of closed-source software is unpatented.
Not really. If the GPL were shown to be invalid, then code would revert to its original state of copyrighted material, and it would be much harder for anyone else to use it. It could then be relicensed under the BSD license or a new form of the GPL.
I don't see how you could "lose" a wife and kid because of that. Did she move back in with her parents? And they won't let you stay there? That's really sad considering that there's people on welfare that manage to keep the family together... I'm sure there's some way you could work it out.
Did you even read the article? It's about someone intentionally changing his email headers (while still conforming to published standards) so that Outlook users cannot read it due to a horrible bug in Outlook. He has no problem reading Outlook mail with his mail client, and no clients (besides Outlook and Outlook Express) have any trouble reading his email.
This is not the default behavior of any email client... he intentionally changed his headers. So basically you are ranting about a figment of your own imagination.

Now that we have the librarians on our side we are unstoppable!
But seriously, librarians are well educated and man do they know how to research. They are valuable allies for any cause...

How dare you modify your own body chemistry!
Well, I wouldn't say that, but you are pretty obviously on your own...
Feeling a bit misanthropistic today?
Personally, I hope we perfect immortality treatments, interstellar travel, and terraforming so I can see the human race infest the entire galaxy.
I mean, if you aren't for the human race who are you for?
That's funny, all of our Unix workstations have root's mail aliased to helpdesk@mail, so your advice would actually work...
Funny they didn't mention Dell, since they are one of the largest retailers. I don't think any of their stuff is beige anymore.
Got any patent numbers to show me?
Actually, I thought OS X was DisplayPDF, a descendent of DisplayPostscript. It's vector driven and superior to bitmapping in every way except raw speed, but it's not 3D.
Isn't it funny how no one will pay for extensive testing since you can't patent a plant?
Good example, thanks.
Would you care to furnish any examples of this observed behavior?

It truly does suck less.
heheh. The only reason I clicked on this article was to find the Celine reference. Thanks Serge.

It will automatically download it and automatically download and install all dependencies.

Hmmm, I'm downloading it right now and I have 3 kids. All the famous hackers I can think of are married, except RMS...

But the servers and pipes cost $$$. They have little choice.
so there must be some sort of computer control already implemented...
Or three guys with graph paper and roller-blades...

What do X11 window managers have to do with the Linux kernel? They all compile fine on my BSD, AIX, and Solaris boxen...
Just like I don't care what goes in a hot dog
