"Too many replies [slashdot.org] beneath your current threshold."
Nice signature. I wonder if you could place a hit counter on it and see how many people you pwned.
Cause you are uber 1337 with a sig like that.
>Thunderbird & Sunbird combined have almost everything Exchange offers. They just don't connect to Exchange servers.
That's like saying. Heck I have a car that drives on Hydrogen, but the problem is that there are no Hydrogen gas stations anywhere. Gee, that sort of defeats the purpose no? So what you are saying is we should give up. Why try?
>Thankfully the code is modular (e.g. it already has handlers for nntp, imap, pop3) so it should be quite possible to write the code.
That's like saying. Heck a hydrogen car is not a problem, you just need to create some tanking stations anywhere you drive so that you don't run out of hydrogen. Again sort of defeats the purpose no? No, grandparent was pointing out that ease with which one could create the code.
>Especially seeing as code already exists in the Evolution plugin that could be utilised.
That's like saying. Heck there are gas stations and they could be used to sell hydrogen. All we need to do is provide the equipment.
Gee at the end of the day, even though it's worse, its simpler to drive a gas guzzling vehicle. Sad yes, but that's reality... No, Your analogy is not worth the bits it is stored with.:)
grandparent was pointing out that there is already code to utilize an exchange server. That is nothing like needing to provide equipment. It is more like saying the pumps we have are fine, we just need to replace the nozzles with brand X and then we have pumps! Yaay!
Stop being a defeatist.
At the end of the day, if we listened to defeatists, we would never make progress on anything. Sad yes, but that's reality.
There's a grade for energy-efficiency, where the average for that kind of appliance is a "C" whereas an appliance that uses 30% less than average would earn an A, and an appliance that wastes 30% more energy than average earns an "F".
The stuff has been a huge success -- to the point where appliances that don't rate atleast a "B" are just not marketable at all. hmmm so doesn't that mean that eventually if you can never sell a 'C' 'D' 'E' or 'F' rating that the "average" would just move up, so that eventually, due to physical laws, nothing would ever be above a 'C' since you could no longer do better?
And if no C's or lower are marketed, then the B's and A's are really D's and C's?
....you cannot legislate out stupidity.
There are already laws on the books for idiots that are paying more attention to their phones than the road and it is called "distracted driving"
I have seen people that are eating, smoking, talking and putting on makeup on the way to work. All endanger others lives. In fact why not make it illegal to smoke/eat/drink(non-alcohol)/put on makeup/do your hair/read a newspaper/read a map while driving.
We do not need more laws, we just need to enforce the ones we have and, make people aware that distracted driving is dangerous and unlawful.
The whole point of RFID for some applications is to be able to read them without physically sighting every one.
For instance, store inventory. Walk down an aisle with an RFID reader - 5 minutes to a perfect count. Walk down the same aisle, with a barcode scanner, and scan every item one at a time - many hours, if yer lucky. Actually you made a mistake,it is 5 minutes to a perfect count, but only a perfect count of the rfid chips......It still does not tell you how many of the product is actually on the shelves.
I am sick of this BS being promulgated by the masses.
Bill Clinton was not impeached over a BJ. He was impeached for "The charges were perjury and obstruction of justice, arising from the Lewinsky scandal."
So yes a BJ was involved, but he was impeached for lying under oath about a BJ. Something any one of us would do jail time for.
While you, yourself are also, technically correct, the message I was replying to was making a point that there was no way out of it, while in fact there technically is.
You bet wrong. Wikipedia:Geneva Conventions
Almost every one of them seems to indicate that they hold true only if both sides play by the rules. Once one side does not the rules are void.
Most applicable are the provisions in the 3rd Geneva Convention:
Article 2 specifies when the parties are bound by GCIII
* That any armed conflict between two or more "High Contracting Parties" is covered by GCIII;
* That it applies to occupations of a "High Contracting Party";
* That the relationship between the "High Contracting Parties" and a non-signatory, the party will remain bound until the non-signatory no longer acts under the strictures of the convention. "...Although one of the Powers in conflict may not be a party to the present Convention, the Powers who are parties thereto shall remain bound by it in their mutual relations. They shall furthermore be bound by the Convention in relation to the said Power, if the latter accepts and applies the provisions thereof."
Movie tickets are not age restricted? Say what?
Ever heard of a rated R movie? or a Rated PG-13?
But to give you the benefit of the doubt, I assume you mean it is not the ticket that is restricted, rather the viewing of the movie, but the way they know who can view the movie is based on the ticket you hold. So yes, they do restrict that.
ligers and tions and such are NOT always sterile.....in fact you can get ti-ligers and li-tions out of interbreeding between lions and tigers.
from the OED: 8. a. A class composed of individuals having some common qualities or characteristics, freq. as a subdivision of a larger class or genus.
so a species does not necessarily mean that they cannot breed, but is a rather arbitrary division.
So calling them "races" or "species" is a non-issue.
I think also that calling them races skirts the whole issue of race in the real world. No matter what color you are in D&D you are still human. Real world race is a non issue for most games.
In the USA gambling with fake money is legal, aslong asthe "fake" money cannot be redeemed for real money. You just need a prize store like they have at arcades to redeem tickets at.

Wow. I hope they sell 10 whole ones next quarter.
From the article on page 6:
"We were surprised that it is necessary to choose between RAID 0 and RAID 1. RAID 0 will increase performance considerably, but it will put your data at risk, since the data of both drives will be lost if only one fails. If RAID 1 is selected, data is mirrored onto both drives, but the net capacity is split in half. A just a bunch of drives (JBOD would be a suitable alternative, because it spans data across both drives. If one fails, the data on the second drive can be recovered."
I am confused where they think the redundancy is on jbod?
And you were commenting on how it did not mean what they thought it meant. Just because _YOU_ don't know what a word means does not mean nobody else does.
The way we are able to communicate with each other is with a shared understanding of what words mean. You jumped on the submitter's choice of words, but did it in a way that didnot indicate full understanding of the words used. I chose to show you a link to a definition of the words in question.
you chose to call me a cock when you saw that you were wrong. Good comeback.:)

I thought you DID pay a tax when you used a land line phone? For each and every call you make a small portion goes to state and federal tax coffers.
For instance, store inventory. Walk down an aisle with an RFID reader - 5 minutes to a perfect count. Walk down the same aisle, with a barcode scanner, and scan every item one at a time - many hours, if yer lucky.
