No, but it could have been lost to the strike of flint, a pregnant pause, then an "glukús theométôr" (Sweet Mother of God, for you people that suck).
(Note: I spent like 20 minutes transliterating that to Latin just so I could post it on/. because it hated the Greek charset. I have no life.)
Exactly. It has less to do with *how much* you give, and more to do with how much you *give up*. It is less to do with the amount, and more to do with the feeling and meaning behind it. Following that parable in the Bible, the woman gave all she had, 100%, and didn't feel any less for it. The man on the other hand gave only a fraction of his sum total (his being), and did so with the sole intention of *looking* good, but not out of the mindset of *doing* good. It is one of those questions of intent, that have nothing to do with the act in and of itself, but rather the intent and reasoning, if any, behind the act. True charity is both a philisophical and a spiritual thing, and is a rarity on this world. I see more true charity among people who give their skills, their livelihood, and their very existence to the things they love for the benefit of all than somebody who would give up a large fraction of their massive wealth to some foundation with their name all over it. Think of it this way, if you were to be truly charitable, would you throw money at something big and grand with your name plasted on it, or make an anonymous donation of monetary or temporal value to some organization with a dire need and a good goal? In this example, Bill Gates is all well and good to throw money at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, but he is doing it more in the spirit of good PR than anything else. He makes more money off people believing that he gives a rat's ass about the rest of the planet than he would off squirreling everything away. On the other hand, some random person who takes the time out of their life to use the skills they worked very hard to earn to benefit everybody, such as in the case of an open source project, and expects little to no credit in return. Well, that is truly charitable. This is also a part of the reason that OSS takes off like it does. People feel a deep connection to those in the OSS community, because as they give of themselves, they establish bonds with all of those who use that labor of love they worked on. On the other hand, when you are dealing with a huge corporation and it's leader who throws money at some foundation with a grand name and an opaque surface where the true purpose isn't known, well the feelings are completely different.
So very true, I ran into this same problem with a past employer. I was blogging about my days at work and the weird sorts of customers that would come in that day. I got tons of readers from it, and after awhile, my employer found out about it. I was instructed to remove all content relating to my job, or be terminated immediately. This was my first job ever, so I didn't want to be fired. I went ahead and removed the content, even though it was free speech, I signed nothing agreeing to not say anything about my day at work, and it didn't mention the company name, the customer or coworker names, or even the location I worked at. I absolutely hated doing it, and kind of wish I hadn't. I lost most of my readers after removing that content, especially since that summed up all but 2 of the post on my weblog at the point of removal.
I wondered when this would eventually get posted to the front page of/. John Haller has also started work on Portable Sunbird so you can keep your calendars and task schedules with you on the go. It is currently at Alpha1, and is just a launcher and instructions on how to set it up, but it works.
Also, although it only supports devices running embedded Linux, their is another project at the Mozilla Foundation called MiniMo (for Mini Mozilla) that allows you to run either of the Mozilla browsers on your handheld. This currently only supports ARM devices. A version of this to run on ARM/Xscale with PocketPC2002+ is probably going to be released in the future, by what I have gathered.

Well, if you need any help, you know where to find me. I am not the best in the world at design, but I know my markup!
Heh, I never saw this mentioned in IRC, or I would have helped out. All it needs is some quick hackage on the CSS, as far as I can tell.

I am not sure how much of this is redundant information, as I haven't read through all the comments yet.
