Why is it assumed it to be the role of mail clients to include calendar functionality? In ye olde worlde where computers belonged in an office 'email a colleague, schedule a meeting' made great sense. But that was fifteen years ago. Today our computers are home desktops, and it is for these that Mozilla's Thunderbird is designed. Office workers sat by their computers were always there to receive reminders about meetings. Today we're more rarely at our machines, yet we're ever more connected. If I want a friend, we can speak *instantaneously* using a phone or instant messaging. If I want a group of friends, I can use a social network to talk to all of them. I don't add 7pm Mark's to *my* calendar, but to all my friends. All the invitees can see who else is coming. Friday night, I won't be home for my computer to tell me where the party's headed. I'm on the move, and need that information with me, on my phone or on a PET [Personal Electronic Thing].
Oddly, the only references in the "story" (TFA) are a circular reference back to site itself and an unintelligible link to a story in Japanese. I see nothing that substantiates the claim of 244 copies sold./quote. Yes it's recursive, but after 243 iterations you get to the bonus level.
243 copies of Vista sitting on a wall. One got cracked and the other went BSOD. 241 copies of Vista sitting on a wall..
This could all be settled satisfactorily for everyone involved if someone puts in a sweet phone call to the Microsoft folks down in Florida. The mafium leave nothing but a few concrete boots.
Out of 9 people, 7 used DVORAK and only 2 were using QWERTY. Has anyone else noticed an increase in adoption of DVORAK lately? What is he using, a 50% significance level?
At my school, you can't visit many webpages on chemistry "keyword found manga", and any window title containing 'paint' shuts down. You can't google for 'oil paints'. I don't understand why people who use the computers comply.
It's now 1700 UTC, and Debian Etch has officially been released. I've performed experiments and Planck's constant is constant. I think spacetime is safe from a resonance cascadAODF~@AFAL:VXCV SCV END CARRIER.
But do you get to mime the strangling and neck-breaking actions with the wiimote? Perhaps wield it as a chain saw, or throw it across the room as a spear.
First time I played the wii, I played wii tennis, and that night I dreamt about playing tennis proper. I think playing it, my made much more connection with the sport I'd played previously, as I'd been through the physical motions. Playing any football games, is NOTHING like playing football. And playing GTA, well I've never robbed a car.
Surely if *any* fraction of the kernel code is licensed under the GPLv3, this would prevent a manufacturer building the kernel into a device which they do not permit users to modify. The device would include a mixture of GPLv2 and GPLv3-licensed code, so they'd be legally obliged to conform to the terms of both licences and allow users to hack. Obviously, if only a few kernel components were under the GPLv3, they could build around them, but if this were 10%, they'd be forced to use older kernel releases. If the device demanded a new component that is only found in a part GPLv3 kernel, say virtualisation, the manufacturer would have to conform.
Will this lead to spontaneous bad mutations? Bugs from nowhere, long after an optimal solution has been found. Or cancerous software that replicates itself exponentially (*cough*)
> A common problem with GNU/Linux for new users is not the operating system, but the switch in applications they must undertake to use it. Many who try to make the switch have little experience with the common open source applications available under GNU/Linux.
This is a ridiculous statement! What *is* an operating system, if not a set of applications?! [don't get too technical, to the user, an operating system exists as the applications presented, and the interactions between them]
I can't believe many people would try GNU/Linux having never used any of Mozilla Firefox or Thunderbird, OpenOffice.org, the GIMP, gaim, Apache or Python. A motivation to use more free software comes from somewhere.
One thing Gnome does have over KDE is it doesn't present you 100 options for every little thing. Indeed the only option Gnome users have is to switch to KDE:p
Each to their own. Seriously. I use Gnome. I like it. Other desktop environments are avaliable.

No-one laments Gmail's lack of a calendar.

Can anyone name any software IBM produce? I don't think I use any.

Successful penetration in the restroom? Maybe we should worry about our vulnerabilities.
It's a human right to be an arse back to people talking on their phones in public. Walk into them. They can't resist.
So have Microsoft turned themselves around, or is this Zune continuing towards another flop?
Gmail can smell sometimes. When you press the back button to return to the inbox and it logs you out.
I hate to think of the Google web "operating system" where daring to press the back button turns it off.
I hate to tell you guys, there is no such thing as a Counter-Strike curriculum. Some of you take that game *way* too seriously.
2. Smaller memory footprint.
3. Let me stop sounds/music with the stop button. Consider lynx?
