I tried to download the new netscape, it asked for my AOL instant messanger ID, which I gave and then asked me to present a Group Regestration Number, becasue i was not yet a member of the testing group. I would love to try it out, can someone invite me. As you can see I can be reached by emailing bestadvocate at linuxmail dot org. Thanks all

Lots of reasons, for google for instance, their desktop search just gives you one more reason to always go to google.com as a one stop solve all everything answer.
In the end its about control over the average computer and the average computer user. create a monopoly and your going to make a lot of money, even if its a free product.
Then again perhaps your right, and the power percived in the value of an advanced search desktop tool will become just another bad guess, like the "portal" builders.
the pendulum is swinging man, before the culture says its best to clame your product is super advanced and bug free by saying it in say version 8 on first release, now people want you to say "this is good for a beta" so they call it beta. Open Source programers with high class products have been running this way for years (because its easyer to shrug of complaints?)
ps hazah for finaly GAIM being declaired in its 1.0 stages. Perhaps the open source pendulum may swing the oposite dirrection of the rest of the software world?
>>" I can't understand why it does not index OOo/SO documents?"
actually it says that you can index "StarOffice Write for Windows and UNIX Version 5.2 (text only)" in the format list. as well as calc files and such, so maby that even means open office support? If not now then easily later?
I'm a big google fan, but I am giving this product a shot.
Thats the real problem with outsourcing jobs anyway. the basic inequality of rights and responcebility
wouldent it be nice if we held international corporations to provide the same level of economic and humanitarian funding outside the country, and taxed the pajamas out of importers that don't
A technology thats for people with too much money and thats void of any content? Sounds like a great medium for Fox News.

I'm with you, i'd buy one even if it sat in a closet with my old x86's
It doesnt matter, the red already knocked the blue off the West, now all they have to do is moblize.
and like every crappy risk player they are going to spend all their armies taking over stuff they cant hold.
oh buy the way my 2 seccond google search gave me 50 mill to 1,027,015,247 (indiachild. co m )
how about population alone giving them the edge?

Maby the US should take it over, holding Ukraine with the middle east gives you border crontrol for ether taking over Europe or Asia.
after all the best way to keep the jobs in the US is to take um all over anyway.
