If you're an American, you really need to know this. There's really no excuse considering the hundreds of news stories that have covered this issue over the last several years.
The government underwent a massive reorganization in the last two years. 22 agencies-- including big departments like the CIA, FBI, Secret Service, Coast Guard, Customs, and FEMA; have all been moved to, or are in the process of being moved to the DHS.
This is a BIG change... it's the most signifigant restructuring of the US government in the last 50 years.
You offer no help to answer the submitter's question, and instead post a snide comment with a lame Googling attempt. At least you apologized.
Not everything can be solved with a simple Google search.
The irony with your shoot-from-the-hip post is that out of the top 20 Google results in your search, there is only one useful link (The IETF RFC site).
The rest of the results deal with closed-source software products such as Apple's iCal or Brown Bear's iCal client, an iCal sharing service, or point to completely obsolete websites (Last post was from 2003 or 2002, for example).
Because there are a ton of features in CVS which are broken? Moving directories, versioning metadata & permissions; etc.
I'm not really into SVN's versioning system either. I suppose I could get used to it, but I still like the flexibility of CVS tags. But there are many compelling reasons to move from CVS to SVN.
First, each checkin should ideally be a legitimate build.. You shouldn't check in to the main branch things that are knowingly broken.
Whoa there cowboy. There will be many cases where this isn't always practical.
For example, lets pretend you have a programmer working on the application code, and a designer working on the layout of a program. In this case, there is going to be a point where one person checks in their changes, which leaves the main branch in a broken state until the second person checks in their code.
You could solve this problem by creating an interim branch, and then checking that branch into main; but that adds alot of work to what is otherwise a simple, fast process.
Do you have any other suggestions for this situation. I'd be willing to bet this is the case for close to 50% of code checkins.
than dancing up on stage -- safely away from the sweat and blubber of the fans -- for a few minutes a night and much more money.
You do realize that most of those dancers make the majority of their money prostituting themselves in the booths in the back, right? If they don't make a quota, they lose their job. The club owners usually take a majority cut of the tips.
This the case for the VAST majority of the strip clubs out there.
Oh god, if some of those men could only see how fucking stupid they look when they come across booth babe they might get a sense of WHY it is that they can never get a girlfriend.
I don't hear people screaming about someone quitting IBM when they take their experiences there and help another company use that knowledge.
Oh bullshit. I hear plenty of people screaming and complaining. That's why many companies require you to sign a non-competition clause before you take many jobs involving the companys intellectual property.
The entire lack of any useful description really makes me belive this is some sort of viral advertising campaign. There's supposed to be a big sense of mystery here or something.
Hey, get a clue: We didn't care about I Love Bees then and we still don't care now.
(Feel free to correct me by naming one in which it doesn't work.)
I don't remember which clients don't support it correctly. But I have seen it fail on a number of clients.
In addition, when I use 'Reply-To:', not all of recipients send email back to the Reply-To address. A large amount of email is still sent to the "From:" address. Lame lame.
Plus it looks ugly, and confuses non-techies when they see one address in the email, and a second address when they send an email.
Yahoo supports multiple From: address, which is why I use them instead of Gmail.
Why go through the hassle of using one client for reading email, and a second client for sending email? What if I want to compose email from friends computer or from my office?
I want one interface, not two. One address, not two. Simplify, simplify, simplify.
Yahoo Mail can do this and more, even if it lacks other features. Plus, I get 2GB of storage, pop access (Not that I use pop very often). Even free accounts get 1GB of storage, which is more then most people need.
Don't get me wrong. Gmail's nice and all, but it's not what I need.
Well, since I use Yahoo for my DSL (currently $27/month, soon to be $20/month), I also get 2GB.
And I never, ever come close to that amount... I don't know what I would do with it. Maybe I could upload 15 years worth of email and use Gmail's nice search feature.
Because Gmail won't let me do basic things, like put my own, real address in the "From:" line. They allow "Reply-to:", but it looks so 90s, and Reply-To doesn't work in all mailers.

You really, really need to know this stuff.
I suggest a new word:

MS Outlook extension?
Because people do 95% of their calendaring activities using MS Outlook. I think I've seen other calendaring clients once or twice.
And yes, we need an alternative, but iCalendar is a STANDARD not a PRODUCT.
I mean, if it's not broken... why fix it?

Yeah, I noticed too. Same thing happens with "alot". It ain't a true word, but it is a common word.

Regardless, this is another goddamn fucking advertisement posing as an article. All of the I Love Bees articles are the same...

How much did they pay for this advertisement?

I would have never, ever guessed. BTW is this a joke?

Try this time-tested strategy to protect your brain against information overload.
Turn all that electronic shit off. Make a nice cup of tea or coffee, sit down on a couch and read a good book for 30 minutes.
It works wonders.

Right, it's an archaic meaning I think. The mountains were named a very long time ago.
You can definately see the relationship between German "Jung" and English "Young", and "Frau" as in "Wife", "Woman" or "Miss".

Because they're trying to appeal to geeks who want to try cutting edge technology first?
Maybe it's a reciprocal agreement. If Slashdot uses a Google News Story several times a day, Google will link to Slashdot?
Call me dumb, but why would Apple sue Microsoft over the name "Eiger" ... is there a product named iGer or something?
The Eiger is also one peak of 3 mountains in a mountain chaain: Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, which have an interesting story to them.
The names Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau roughly translate to Ogre, Monk and Young Woman (Or Virgin).
The story as told to me is that The Ogre is attacking the Virgin, but the Monk is standing betweee the Ogre and the Virgin.
Should Microsoft name their product after a monster & rapist?
because it's illegal for US companies to sell to Cuba (very stiff penalties).
And yet, American companies sell to Cuba all the time, often from a Canadian or other non-American subsidy.
Sprint was running communication likes from Miami to Cuba 20 years ago. Still do to my knowledge.
