This makes be wonder if Linux do everything Windows can. In other words, are the some things that the WIN32 API needs that Linux can not supply. Like some of DirectX perhaps? Just wondering.
This bums me out. I have been running server very successfully for years with RedHat 7.3. I've received many updates from legacy. I don't want to change this machine. In fact last time I tried an update Anaconda failed:-(
I read that Windows Vista uses SMB2. Is this a change to make the protocol better or is it just a change to make life difficult for Samba? Maybe Microsoft was required to explain the details of SMB1 in the antitrust proceedings. No problem they figured we'll just make a new protocol and it will take ten years for the courts to make us to release that. Brahhaaa.
Why the heck does Linux have to bend over backwards to support the latest Microsoft thing? I don't see Microsoft doing the same for Linux -- they are baddies here.
Some technical details like licensing for codecs matter but whether a OS is 32 bit, 64 bit just don't matter. Its cheapens his whole argument by even mentioning this. For a user its: "can I click on this movie to watch it" that matters. Or can I open and edit this document without loss of fidelity.
I was always clearful to keep the original test intact. I would enclose my notes at the bottom of the mail in square brackets. Say a user gave a me long and rambling bug report. I might read it and condense into a sentence.... eg: [Need to add some more error checking]
Also for sent mesages its sometimes useful to add notes. Like: [They IMed me and said this fixed the problem]
"Edit as New" very much like clicking on "Reply". Ie another way of composing a new message. It doesn't let you edit the received message. It makes a copy which you can edit and must mail or save as a draft.
When I switched from Eudora to Thunderbird the thing I missed the most was the ability to edit ANY message. Including incomming ones. For example if somebody mailed me something that was unclear I could edit it to add a sentence from myself clearifying. I really like this freedom.
Just a warning, Dan Brown's "Digital Fortress" is especially BAD. I found Da Vinci tolerable because I don't know anything about the christian church but since Digital Fortress is about computers (which I and Slashdotters know about) it was excruciating. Set in modern times the description of the big computer make it sound more like a steam engine! Don't buy this book.
Slashdot Mirror
Kinda makes you think that Massachusetts with their push for open formats, etc might
be on to something. (If you we're already thinking that.)
What's the advantage of a co-op? The more houses involved, the more solar cells you need.
Might was well put them on your own house.
Well, they are trying. The Airstream look is a fun idea. Might appeal to some people.
However, they should really quitely and without fanfare just switch to making all
cars plugin hybrids. That will work as a business.
No VOIP.
ie. Voice over Integent Porpoise.

We need a low power standard (maybe its USB). So can all have many nice small plugs on the edge of our desks to plugin phones, PDAs, etc.
I hate the styling. It looks very paranoid and macho -- which might be the point?
Hey, GM, why not make all your vehicles cars plugin-hybrids?!
Well, at least COBOL has array bounds checking. Unlike C/C++.
Maybe they aren't changing anything but the apps. So if there is a problem they can always backup out.

If it every crashes there will be quite a lot of vapour.
Like the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) except... its One Laptop per BlogWhore (OLPBW).
Kinda the same.
I just looked in my Thunderbird help - can't see any thing about "sanitize HTML".
Can you please point me to this option. Thanks.

We always know Microsoft was good at selling bad stuff but this takes the cake.
Why, oh way would you buy Linux support from Microsoft!

Notice Techdirt has the dept as:
from the five-year-plan dept
Now where have the seen dept's like that before?
Wow, so many negative comments. I like yum and rpm. They work for me.
A big problem is spam sent to invalid users on a mail server
which is then have to bounced to somebody else. I guess SPF might help that.

Well thingd wear out in that they stop support for older OSes.
