IMAP gives you full email access. Using WebDAV you have full access to your appointments and tasks and files.
Under KDE CVS this is all seemless. Use KMail for Mail access, KOrganizer has direct exchange import support via WebDAV, and you can go into any Konq window and type webdav://your_exchange_server.com/exchange/your_ac count_name/
and browse all your files in Outlook folders.
The outlook folders also all show up in IMAP. Not sure if you can get the files here though.
Advantages over Kontact?

Could someone in the know explain to me the advantages this have over Kontact, the KDE PIM solution? Since it is already using KAddressbook and KOrganizer, that juts leaves ToDo and email.... KMail is already a highly capable email client, I doubt they could improve on that much?
Users using the debian CVS KDE packages can just apt-get install kcmrandr. Others may need to wait until it is included in the default distro.
Adds support for res change, freq change, and screen orientation (if display supports it), all on the fly from the system tray, or from KControl.
Lets just say that someone digging 10-50 feet underground, and using a million dollar fibre reader to sniff my data is the LEAST of my security worries.
Extra fraud insurance? SEE ME so that you're comfortable with big ticket items? You DO realize that, as long as the loss / theft is reported within 24 hours, the maximum amount you are liable for on ANY unauthorized credit card purchases is 50 dollars right?
Every single thing you said MPlayer / MEncoder does, except the SMIL. All SMIL wll ever be used for is ads before the movies anyways. It' smore of a bug than a feature.
The real fact is, we will never know if he is really guilty. Face it, with the attitude of the government today, if you were presented with the option of being held, without trial, indefiinitly, or to rat on other "suspects" which you may or may not even know any real facts about, which would you choose?
Exactly why do you say this? MPlayer supports windows media streaming, real media streaming, and quicktime media streaming. Does Helixplayer support all these?
And X-less methods rack up that kind of resource use anyway; _something_ has to handle expose and redraw stuff, for instance, if you are aiming for something able to run more than one thing at a time. Apparently (I have not worked on it myself), qtopia requires the applications to handle WM-stuff by themselves.
There's a reason that both commercial handheld OSes and QPE launch windows full screen and keep em that way - real estate. You just don't have enough space to screw around with multiple overlapping windows - It's a useability nightmare. No user in their right mind would ever want to futs with that mess. So this is not really an issue.
Most people who use handhelds don't even run multiple apps at once.. they lun an app, use it, and close it, and run another. The launch time is usually so fast that it's inconsequential.
I cam eup with this scheme a while ago, not sure if it would work but its interesting.
1. Make a personal website with CGI/PHP/ASP/Whatevrer. Install a big image map form onto it
2. Make a CGI app that generates an image of a `10x10 grid with alphanumeric chars. The positions of the chars on the grid should be random.
3. What you do is this : The grid is returned as the imagemap. Your CGI cript detects where in the grid you clicked on the map. As you click on the grid, the form is submitted, and the next time the page comes up the number you clicked is tacked onto the page inside a password text box ( a text box with *** ).
So basically you click out the password on this random imagemap. Then when the password is done, you highlight it, CTRL+C, CTRL+V into whereever it goes.
This should defeat any but the most complex keylogger. Keyboard grabbing does nothing, since there are no kepresses involved in generating your password via this method. Also, capturing the mouse clicks is useless, since the keypad is random.
The only way a keylogger could get this password is if it was monitoring all password text areas for change events. I am not even sure if this is possible.
Everyone needs to know a minimal set of vocabulary to purchase and oeprate anything. Sure a person does not need to know what horsepower is to drive a car. But do they need to know whata Gigabyte is to operate a computer? The answer is no. Sure they should know what it is if they are BUYING a computer..just as a consumer should know what horsepower is when buying an automobile.
The problem isn't that the vocabulary is too difficult, it's that people are too lazy to learn it.
The thing that makes APT, and in turn Debian, work so well is not thearch itself, but the people who maintain it. I myself have used apt-rpm on Redhat about a month ago, and within 2 hours of installing it it had fully hosed my system, downloading and installing conflicting packages or somesuch when I tried to do a dist upgrade. Nothing like that has ever happened to me in the 2 years of using debian and updating daily.
APT is great because it is miantained by thousands of individuals responsible for only a few packages. This narrow band of interest can make sure that they get *their* package right. This is unlike the commercial distros where I imagine 5 or less people manage the dependancies of the whole distro.
If we want to fight this patent battle the solution is not to sit back, wait until a patent comees out, then bitch about it. We need to be pro-active.
The EFF and/or the FSF should be actively going out and patenting every software idea that comes out of free software under the sun. They could then just release the patents with some kind of liberal license, with a revocation clause.
This would give you two things... it would supposedly prevent other companies from patenting the same thing, and it would also give us a portfolio a-la IBM to use as defense... as in if these guys try to sue squid, the EFF comes in and says "well we have a patent on using the color red on menus... so if you sue squid we will revoke your patent license and sue you!" Stupid example but you get the idea.
What do you mean you don't want to switch search fields??? You obviously had to consciously say "I want to do a search" at some point and click on the address bar before you typed the search terms, the location bar does not constantly have the keyboard focus. What difference does it make if you click the address bar or the search box?
This is just skins. It doesn't let me move the goddamned window buttons from the HORRIBLE left to the right. When 95% of people are right handed, who is the moron at Apple who thinks they WANT to move 2x the distance to close a window? Its retarded!
If you're an American, read your Constitution--the justification is written into it. If you're not, well, quick start a Netflix-style business before the EU patent is granted.
You can't patent business methods in the EU AFAIK.
.. or algorithms, or software features. Its absurd. Thank God you can't do any of this in the EU, where reason still seems to have a bit of a foothold.
Expect all these insane patents ot come back and bite the US in the ass soon.
is Aqua. or more to the point, the INABILITY to GET RID OF IT. I firggin HATE the Aqua style, and the idea of not being able to change your WM and Widget style just seems so foolish. Every window manager under the sun has this ability, even Windows XP lets you. But not OSX.
Until I can get rid of the horrible Aqua I will stay away from Apple. Seeing how that is my only problem with it, I hope some Apple engineer sees this and fixes it pronto:P

Every credit card has it as long as you report the loss/theft within 24 hours . It's the law.

What is this post supposed to mean? Is odor some corrupted american spelling?

This is like exactly what I built for myself.... down to the letter, including the WiFi! It's runnign MythTV. I should have patented it!

GTK gets another feature that KDE has had for over a year. Wait itll they get window shadows in 2005. Will that also make the front page?

Will all thes eoperating systems also have the voice of Majel Roddenberry?
I think NOT!

Whoever said there was only 1 character? You can put more than one character on a rope, or you can us e abunch of ropes, or whatever.
