  1. Re:Not astonishingly suprising... on Hacked Business Owner Stuck With $52k Phone Bill · · Score: 3, Funny

    Or the old quote. The Carpenters house is always the one that is in least repair.

    Or the town barber is always the one with the worst haircut..

  2. Widespread disdain for US is a fallacy on Windows in Brazil Costs 20% of Per Capita Business Income · · Score: 1

    Who knows, maybe I don't hang with the US haters, but I travel to Brazil very often and the Brazilians definitely do not have a widespread disdain for the US. They are probably one of the most friendly countries towards us in the region, outside of Colombia, of course, which is definitely our closest ally in the region.

  3. Spain dial up is not free on Internet Connectivity Outside of the United States · · Score: 1

    Dial up service is not free in Spain, the cost of the local call is how they charge you. This would be akin to dialing a 1-900 number to get "free" access to the internet.

  4. They only looked at data for the Northern Hemisphe on Earth's Temperature at Highest Levels in 400 Years · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Anyone else notice that they only looked at data for the Northern Hemisphere? How can you say the Earth is warming if you're only looking at data from the Northern Hemisphere!

  6. Re:Hmmm on Microsoft Goes Head-to-Head With IBM · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should update your mail file design to 6.5 because the mail and calendar are vastly superior..and fyi Notes does not convert applications to Java it renders forms in HTML and uses Java applets for rich text fields and action buttons only if you have that option selected in the form properties. Notes 7 lets you sort your mail by subject. Also, my organization has never been hit by an email virus, I'm sure that more than makes up for the one or two files lost to the "Edit" bug. Also email encryption is built into Notes, no add on applications are needed, try that with Outlook.

  7. Re:Hmmm on Microsoft Goes Head-to-Head With IBM · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's easy to bash Lotus for their client. I agree that older versions (before R5) were behind Outlook as far as features and usability go, but the current versions of Lotus Notes are much better in many ways when compared to Outlook. Also, the Domino server is leaps and bounds ahead of Exchange...when was the last time you ran an Exchange server in Linux? Domino currently runs very reliably on Linux servers.
