And you have to manually turn on horizontal scroll bars, even if the content exceeds the width of the window.
And every damn tab is part of the same process, so if I have a search running in one tab, I can't access anything in any of the other tabs. OK, not so much a standard violation as an prodcutivity-sapping annoyance. If you're going to design an app to be a mail program AND a database program AND an intranet content viewer, it should be able to do all those things at the same time!
And if your mailfile is on a network drive, and the network hiccups, Notes crashes instead of just issuing an error message. God forbid any company would want their users to be able to access their mailfiles from more than one PC...
I think efficient is a better word than cheap. I've seen plenty of companies go for a cheap short-term solution that ends up costing them more long term. Pennywise, pound-foolish and all that.
you rule.
I don't understand why so many software companies feel the need to reinvent the wheel. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm forced to use Lotus Notes and Remedy at work so this is particularly pertinent to me. It's non-standard hell. The 30-year-old mainframe apps I use are more consistent than some of the modern GUI-based stuff.
There's little potential income from poor people. That's why FDR started the rural electrification program - it wasn't profitable for private business to provide electricity outside big cities and affluent areas.
Aside from the spying issue, I think Saddam resisted the inspections for the simple reason that he didn't want to appear to be capitulating to foreign governments.
As for the claim that Saddam obstructed the inspectors after they were allowed to return in 2002, this is actually more Bushite propaganda. UNSCOM said he was mostly cooperative.
Granted, it was the threat of military force that got him to let inspectors back in in 2002. As a political science professor told me once, the THREAT of force is power, the USE of force is not.
Bush's people lied to him about there being WMDs in Iraq, and he took us in their in good faith.
If that's the case then he's even stupider than I think he is. The evidence Bush's people were giving him (and us) was debunked by experts almost as soon as it left their mouths. I know he doesn't read newspapers, but as the president I expected him to listen to the CIA, DIA, State Department, and UNSCOM.
I might add that before we went in, I thought we'd find WMDs and was quite surprised that we didn't.
I'm sorry to hear that. I suggest expanding your news sources beyond Fox and CNN. Personally I believed the UNSCOM inspectors when they said there was no evidence of WMD stockpiles or ongoign programs, and am one of the millions of people who was NOT surprised we didn't find WMDs.
It is not conjecture or opinion that Bush and people working for him lied about WMDs in Iraq and Iraq aiding al Qaeda. It is an established fact. Remember the claim about getting uranium from Niger? The aluminum tubes? The alleged mobile weapons labs?
I do bash Bush because of what he stands for in the world: imperialism, arrogance, and most of all for unnecessary war. But I also bash him for lying and for being stupid.
What do you expect? George Tenet got a medal for being wrong about WMDs in Iraq; Paul Bremer got one for ignoring warnings about the Iraqi insurgency; and Condaleeza Rice got promoted for ignoring warnings about Al Qaeda and being wrong about Iraq. This administration rewards incompetence and duplicity while punishing competence and honesty.
but there are other apps for Linux that do the same thing. Some people like to CHOOSE which apps work best for them. And for programmers, open source applications are much easier to customize than Apple-branded software.
The "Union of Concerned Scientists" has been a liberal activist organization throughout its history, originally organized to protest the Vietnam war
They protested the Vietnam War? I'd say that increases their credibility, wouldn't you?
By the way, the article didn't say anything about Republicans, Democrats, conservatives, or liberals. Methinks you're responding to an attack that wasn't there. Any environmentalist will tell you that when it came to the environment Clinton sucked up to business interests as well as any Republican.
what about letting other cos build PPC clones?

Forget about Intel-based hardware. What about selling OS X to other hardware companies that want to build PPC-based hardware? Apple hardware is sweet, but I'm sure many business and some home users would like more options, more configureable towers, and an alternative to the current bleach-white ugliness. I know in the past this resulted in Apple losing market share to the clone makers, but I think things are different now. With the Mini, Apple has proved they can still innovate. There is a bigger server market to compete for, and OS X Server is a competitive product - it would be even more competitive if customers had a variety of server manufacturers to choose from.
Of course, Apple would take a hit if it still insisted on an unreasonable profit margin per unit.
Because the "alternate view" is complete balderdash. If there were weaknesses in the theory of evolution (there aren't) and there were serious, scientifically viable alternate theories (there aren't) it would be a whole different story.
Of course students should be thinking critically about everything they learn in school. Singling out evolution suggests that there's something different about it, that it's less well-supported than other aspects of science.

It's news because (most of) the industry still isn't listening.

Apple would not only get the name but the familiar and excellent Tivo interface/software. ...and charge 20% more for it.
"Freedom" in Iraq? Saddam a "substantial threat"? More obvious lies.

and many prefer PPC over Intel/AMD architecture.
Mod that up for being literate!
