There is nothing at all stopping Britney from releasing her music on Warp Records and selling it through bleep.com as un-DRM-encumbered MP3 or FLAC files.
The point was that Yahoo! has chosen to sell music in a form that doesn't work on the iPod, and that this is their idea, and that the iPod doesn't inherently chain you to Apple's DRM scheme.
I realize I am off-topic and complaining, but I wanted to see if we couldn't get a discussion going about a smarter, more democratic way to elect submissions to go live.
To say it's only received security patches for the past ten years is nonsense. It's gone from version 6 to version 8 in that timeframe, and VMS version revs are none-trivial. Just go to the website and read the "new features" document.
Why, now it supports IDE out of the box!
(There's also a pile of other stuff to do with filesystems, system partitioning and other boring stuff, too)
"In no particular order, OpenVMS components are implemented using Bliss, Macro, Ada, PLI, VAX and DEC C, Fortran, UIL, VAX and Alpha SDL, Pascal, MDL, DEC C++, DCL, Message, and Document. And this is certainly not a complete list. However, the rumor is NOT true that an attempt was made to write pieces of OpenVMS in every supported language so that the Run-Time Libraries could not be unbundled. (APL, BASIC, COBOL and RPG are just some of the languages NOT represented!)"
but every Linux distro I've installed recently (that being Mandrake 8, Red Hat 6 and 7, and Debian potato) all *allowed* a rubbishy/not there root password, even if they muttered about the fact. --

The Apple Menu does indeed respond if you click in the top left corner. Spotlight's the same in the top right.

She's chosen not to.
That's not Apple's fault.
So what?
The point was that Yahoo! has chosen to sell music in a form that doesn't work on the iPod, and that this is their idea, and that the iPod doesn't inherently chain you to Apple's DRM scheme.
The point stands.
Yes, it is Yahoo!'s fault.
Warp Records (http://www.bleep.com/ sell music that works just fine on the iPod, and they haven't licensed Apple's DRM.
Nice karma whoring, BTW.
And get a Nokia 1100. A simple phone for those with simple requirements.
...it still sounds like a feminine hygiene product to me.
Most corporate desktops are behind the curve in some way. Vast swathes of corporate America is still powered by NT4.
Near the bleak hellhole that is Seascale.

Makes a number of strong points.
OE isn't a MAPI application.
That'd be Outlook you're thinking of, and it's a bit more than just a wrapper around some MAPI functionality.
Funnily enough, they're the registrar for the scam site http://american-redcross.org/.
Coincidence? You decide.

Six month release cycle, new packages, desktop orientation.
Because it's there.
From the FAQ:

Scratch Office off the hip-e's list. It's the trial version.
He'd already flubbed "commercial" by that point.
But what the hey. It's not like he's paid to do this or anything.
Oh, wait...

You mean, "reins", don't you?

to a weak/crappy/nonexistent root password on a Linux box?
Crappy security is crappy security.
