  1. Re:Argh on Debugging Indian Computer Programmers · · Score: 1

    What makes a true American?? Sadly most americans never realize that almost everyone in this country (except the Native Americans)is an immigrant. The only difference that exists is the timeframe when you immigrated. Does the fact that your ancestors immigrated 300 years ago and had light skins make you a true American?

    Everything (or everyone) is not White and Black (pun intended). There are always shades of brown (oops gray)

  2. Microsoft Releases Toolbar Suite on Microsoft Releases Toolbar Suite · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Pop-up blocking is not the touted feature of this toolbar release. Also desktop search is nothing new - Google, Copernic, X1 all have stable offerings. What may make MSN desktop search popular is the fact that it allows users to search directly from windows explorer. Now when searching for files on my dektop, windows explorer is the first place users tend to look for (Users are used to pressing F3 in explorer).
    I tried my hands at the suite and on the face value, it doesn't seem special or radically different from its competitors. But I am yet to find anything seriously wrong with it.
    And though it claims to index and search my Outlook emails, it is not fast and flexible enough to make me want to replace my Lookout toolbar.
