Agree with the advantages of gmail that you suggested.
I myself like the quick search facility to be extremely useful. And another innovative feature is the concept of label replacing the folders.
About the other things; Autothreading still makes mistakes. I got a pair of messages from orkut today which were grouped as conversation while they were not. What made it more painful was the body of one of the mails were shown as quoted text, which it was clearly not. Now, this could be explained away saying that it's just a beta. But, I really hope they make it right soon. Because, majority including myself are not used to the gmail style of threading! and a _mistake_ in a threading like this, can make it a pain to get used to.
About the clean ness of the UI, I would say it's more sleek than clean.. you can smell the javascript in it. Konqui and opera(can someone confirm this?) doesn't work with it yet. It takes long time for the inbox to load on a slow connection, I guess because of the javascript.
they don't have draft facility yet! i am sure they are on their way for this one (got a mail from gmail today)..
Yes, I am talking about gmail demise. We all love google and hate yahoo ads, but, with the release date of gmail still uncertain, privacy rumours in everyones mind, the chance of gmail taking a lead might be really slim. It might verywell be a email_SE (read special edition) for the geeks. Nothing more. I wonder how many would trade the superior spam filtering of yahoo for the 900MB extra storage of gmail. (And we all know how to use adblock don't we ? so the yahoo ad problem is not that much of a problem.) There is atleast 6 months before gmail goes public. Yahoo could make a killing in this period. I don't see many yahooligans moving to gmail - i.e. when they get a chance to. Yahoo has done its homework this time. Just a little bit of storage hammer can keep the gmail away.
There is no good reason to make everything for mom and pop or average user (i'd not say consumer). There are uses who know a different need and need it too.
What really surprises me is that "traditional" tech universities don't hold the top spots.
What do you think of Carnegie Mellon University? #1 in 2000.

You might wanna check this out aswell. FC2 was nothing short of a complete dissappointment. Mandrake 10 gave a much better experience.

rightly said. May I add, "hey you having xyz problem with your database? it runs fine on my linux box, aha.. you are running it on xp, see thats the problem, Oracle's developers develop and test it on linux box, so for a person like you for whom database is the reason you have that box for (primarily) you might wanna consider using oracle on a linux installation, at least that way you can have your _peace_of_mind_! 'cause as i said, 9000 developers in Oracle develop and test that thing on linux, so you can be reasonably sure of it."
they might be attracting public ire by letting such things happen (i assume it's a bug), they have made a lot of people unhappy as such due to their strange terms of service. by doing such mistakes.. the cool won't remain remain cool for long, when many people no huge quota is not the most important thing in an email service.
u know.. those people who left their account logged in last night got a boost:)).. i was wondering if it is just me. But, whats the difference between 1000MB and a million MB anyways.
The difference between the rapist and the virii writer is (if you look from the eyes of the so called criminals) - one enjoys overpowering the "weaker sex" sexual gratification and the other enjoys excercising engineering talent to blow the covers off a sub par OS, which has gotten way too much more credits than what it deserves.
Are they the same crime ?
I am not sure I'd blame the telephone company for not telling me something if I didn't ask it in a way they understand. After all if I need some help, it'd be my responsibility to make the other party understand what exactly I want.
They don't want to do anything anyways, except in the.. ahem.. "enterprise" pantry and near the pool table.
It's us unpaid college grads who stay up all night trying to figure out how things can be made more beautiful, for the sake of nothing but the satisfaction it gives...
But couldn't there be some other place (source C in my example above) which also has an atmosphere with such a "recipe".
aha, the possibility of two worlds Mars and C having the same atmospheric recipe would be much less likely (unless Mars was a spin off of C) than the possibility of a few rock pores containing air similiar in composition to that of Mars (might have been knocked off Mars by some stray meteor).
and someone with an ownership deed will pocket the other 4/5 as profit.
bull shit.. is it so hard to understand that there is just 1/5 of the money available right now to get the job and there is no other way but to hire an indian ?
Don't you think a cartel of penis enlarging drug makers knowing that you (or your significant other) express remorse about a smaller penis in your non-spam mails, does not invade your privacy, even though those companies don't get to know exactly what you talk about in your emails?
Slashdot Mirror
I invited my friend in yahoo to gmail .. she signed up without a hint of a problem.
well .. what if i visit slashdot the first thing in the morning ?

i don't know about you man. my motor cycle had a soul, and I felt like selling my soul when i sold it.
The files are hosted on a university server, they are as good as any other caching server.
I am not sure of firefox being faster. The thing I like about firefox is it can take extensions, like blogthis, adblock, etc ..
I don't know how you find eclipse gtk build "speedy". It just sucks in my machine. page redraw takes so long when scrolling..
as if people in the patent office don't double click

Yes. To avoid a crawling Mozilla or a crawling OO when you are using them.

you talk about wave options and blame indians for not understanding? Those guys are used to the correct english .. not american english.
I doubt anyone understands that generic joke. Aside, it probably the first distro which will "support" the kernel.
