I use yahoo mail... i find it pretty good. some spam, but i have used it alot... i get almost as much spam with hotmail which i haven't really used at all.
but i think that yahoo have stuffed groups recently, yahoo groups were pretty good initially (i presume this is just after taking egroups?).
When I worked in a company that released all enterprise code to the client... and would occassionally get asked to write in J++, VB and other Basic variants...
My code would usually include some comment regarding how impressed I was with the language...
When I worked in J++ I had just come out of university, where we had been using Java 1.3 and I believe 1.4 had been out for a while... and J++ was based on Java 1.1! I had commented somewhere:// J++ where are you from??
And whenever dealing with Strings or arrays in VB I felt the desire to inform anyone who read the code that I didn't like the language....
All this stuff needed to be taken out before we handed over the code.... Unfortunately, I agrued that they were legit informative comments... but my manager didn't feel they were constructive.
I agree, hardware support needs to improve for *nix and *BSD...
But I think people using alternative applications that are Open Source *is* good for the open source community. I mean its not just about Nix boxes. Its about doing cool stuff with computers!
Windows can't hold a monopoly forever... people are having to get more inteligent about computing... and that will lead them to experiment with alternative solutions.
It would be great to have another solid windows manager on windows. but one problem I had when I ran blckbox on windows, is that i couldn't be sure that a defect in one of my applications was because of my bad coding or because blackbox was running where a windows application would expect explorer.
Unfortunately alot of us have to use windows at work, because many people aren't savvy enough to support their own desktop.... and i suspect the same is true in other companies with linux or mac boxes....
But I believe that having good strong alternatives to microsoft applications does take away from their monopoly... imagine if you were using KDE, openoffice, firefox, abiword, gimp, gnumeric all on a windows box? there isn't much windows left. And that takes away from their monopoly and it makes migration to Linux/BSD/Darwin very easy.
yeah, but sarge has a testing release which has been out for about 12 months... works fine for me...
longhorn on the other hand is announcing a beta version in four months?? though i have seen it running... looked pretty... they are probably just waiting for mainstream computers to be powerfull enough to run their algorithms.
Because they have to is a ridiculous reason to let them drive.
By this logic you should just let everybody drive... regardless of age and disability.
The only reason that you wouldn't let 3 year olds drive (by this logic) is that they should have a caregiver that provides transportation to all essential needs.
Therefore, if you are too old to drive... i.e. you are functionally incapable of driving, then you probably require a caregiver.
I guess its a vicious cycle... when your young, your too reckless to drive safely, when your old your either blind, deaf, or senile. And all the rest of us a simply incompetent.
I'd say Google already have their own server distro of linux... I'm pretty sure they based GWS on Apache...
So it seems reasonably sensible to look into making optimised client-side applications. But I'd suspect that these would be Windows based. Google bar is for IE, though it makes sense to intergrate it into Mozilla now. And the google desktop search isn't for linux... Or even Linux friendly apps.
The Chinese government is not going to send you a polite subpoena and meet you in a clean courtroom some months down the road like the *AA where you will be given access to effective counsel and a more-or-less fair shake.
Who is?
I rarely max out any connection I have ever had...... but I would like to point out that it is not how much time I spend maxing it out that is important to me... just how damn long it takes to download whatever it is I am trying to download... I would be a happy happy 'person' if it only maxed out for a few seconds a day!
Currently, very good software exists for preventing Spam from entering my inbox.
I used to collect a message from my CompSci university email server indicating why such and such a message was spam.. more images than text in html, message claims to be outlook 5 mail but missing ms outlook header properties.. etc. So it seems to me spam is poorly developed software.
If all ISP's intergrate good anti-spam solutions, then wouldn't this encourage SPAMMERS to improve the quality of their solutions?
I say long live the ISP's that don't care about SPAM... and leave it to the individuals to pick better ISP's or implement their own Anti-SPAM solutions... this way those who know how to avoid SPAM, can with little or no consideration or effort.
Actually I think that the calculation is out marginally for us southern hemispherians.... as Weather is the opposite to those researchers in Cardiff... Our worst day is probably much closer to the middle of the year...
Luckily for me, Monday the 24th is a local anniversary day... so I don't have to go to work on the worst day.

You can usually turn the damn touchpad off.... at least I have on my toshiba laptop... so I just always take a real mouse with me.
The Dell I used to have came with a clit and a touch pad... and I am pretty sure you could turn off one or the other or both... but I never bother because I always plugged it into a docking station anyway.
I'd assume you can turn off the touchpad on iBooks too... but prior to OS X, most people I knew that had macs had them because they 'looked pretty'. Though I'd agree with a previous post... I am very tempted by a darwin iBook.. one major bonus I can see is that the modem would probably work:) But I'd say that there is a very good business from making linux complient laptops... but you would want to have an international delivery model. I doubt that many cities around the world would have the demand to warrant this kind of product.
Down here in New Zealand we have mechanisms such as the citizen advice bureaux that can offer services to those in the community that can't afford to pay for advice.
I am sure similar facilities exist in most nations, even the USA.
All lawyers cost $$$ but some donate their free time to good causes... much like software developers I guess;)
I agree. The problem isn't that they apprehended somebody... its that they didn't put a disclaimer on the vehicle: 'By entering this vehicle you agree of the use of GPS monitoring and accept that your movements are being monitored by the police and anyone else who has access to our internal systems.'
Or something similar. They have means of tracking vehicles that are legal. They should use those.

yeah... i run sarge in testing on a laptop and on a desktop...
i find the stable release a little stable for my liking. i mean, it misses all the interesting new stuff.
I'd agree... why do I have to activate my box after i have already paid $500 for the .... product?

I think you will find that the instructions are required because the website is in German.... its to help us uneducated in the ways of the Babelfish.
$500 a day? In NZ My daily limit is a $1000 and that pisses me off.
but its very similar to marmite, which is british..
Are you referring to the article about only old people in korea using email? everyone else using sms and im?
Nah, You've missed the mark. There is a huge difference between india 'doing it' and india getting the contract to do it.
There may be good indian outsourcing firms somewhere, but I have never dealt with one, or heard of one.
Not that I haven't worked with good indian developers and managers... but they weren't living in india.

Yup - its seems exactly the same to me.
fair enough.... the games really do portray a biased against communism....
