  1. Yeah on Review of Discovery Institute's Evolution Textbook · · Score: 1, Funny

    "The book doesn't only promote stupidity, it demands it."

    What were people expecting? A book made by stupid people to promote intelligence?

  2. Oblig. Lucas reference on Microsoft Documentation Declared Unfit For US Consumption · · Score: 1, Funny

    Others see this as yet another example of their crumbling hegemony or indolence as their empire burns.

    One only knows how to reach complete happiness in computer software when they have felt the power of the source. Use the source Steve! ...gg..GAHH!! *dodges chair*

  3. I've heard on Good Email For Kids? · · Score: -1

    that NAMBLA offers free IMAP accounts to kids for an oral fee.

    In all seriousness, I've had much more luck with email services that provide IMAP access, especially ones that don't sell your addresses out to spammers themselves. If you do prefer a free service, be sure and read the agreement carefully.

    this baby is gonna be powered by homosexual people and Saudi feminists running on giant hamster wheels. I'm not trying to be funny. I wouldn't be surprised one bit.

    There is complete AMD support with hackintosh releases. The latest Leo4all release (v4.1, demonoid is your friend) includes Phenom support I believe. So go buy yourself a copy of OS X Leopard; then download the fixed DVD. Yeah, you are breaking the law, but at least you gave Apple your end of the deal, money-wise.

    You forgot the most important part: Eraserhead Chicken. They're man made and they're new!

    bah! you have no respect for such an amazing movie. if you want to quote it, you have to quote the entire scene:

    Mr. X: I thought I heard a stranger. We've got chicken tonight. Strangest damn things. They're man made. Little damn things. Smaller than my fist. But they're new. Hi, I'm Bill.
    Henry Spencer: Hello there. I'm Henry.
    Mrs. X: Henry works at LaPelle's Factory.
    Mr. X: Oh. Printing's your business? Plumbing's mine. For 30 years now. I've watched this neighborhood change from pastures to the hell-hole it is now!
    Mary X: Dad!
    Mrs. X: Bill!
    Mr. X: I put every damn pipe in this neighborhood. People think that pipes grow in their homes. But they sure as hell don't! Look at my knees! Look at my knees!

  11. Re:IMAP much? on Windows 7 Trades Email and Photo Apps For Downloadable Ones · · Score: 1

    Cached IMAP is supported in a few clients, Firebird and kmail come to mind...

    I guess you could keep your cache in a relational database but what about an IMAP client? hehe

  12. Re:You guys can't even read... on Windows 7 Trades Email and Photo Apps For Downloadable Ones · · Score: 1

    Well, like I said, you need an Exchange server to use Outlook. On the other hand, if you need a mail client with good IMAP support for Windows you know where to find it.

    I really think they should keep lightning included with thunderbird, once version 3 is finished. It turns Thunderbird from a simple mail client to an organizer like outlook. and Spicebird is worthless IMO. I hate the tab interface.

  17. Meh. on Is There a Linux Client Solution for Exchange 2007? · · Score: 1

    According to the Crossovers Compatibilities list, Outlook 2007 is rated meh (my interpretation of bronze) with a few silver ratings by other people. http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=2841
    This is of course for Crossover's version of wine with their proprietary fixes, for good ol gnu wine has Outlook 2007 listed as garbage.

    Personally, I would nag on the IT people to free themselves from depending on an untrustworthy company.

  22. hehe on Palin Email Hacker Found · · Score: 1
    From what I saw from one of the screenshots, the person was using one of the web based proxies, I forget which one. Too bad he wasn't thinking too well when he wanted to remain anonymous. When you visit /b/, you kill as much brain cells as 12 ounces of vodka when you drink it in under 10 minutes. I've checked /b/ out just for the hell of it. Their interaction with females consist of "tits or gtfo". I'm not surprised.

    Either way, it's too bad the other email address didn't get checked; then perhaps he could of gotten the interesting emails.

  25. Re:Not GPL, maybe not Free Software on Drop-In Replacement For Exchange Now Open Source · · Score: 1

    Zarafa is available under the Affero GPLv3, which has some rather critical differences from the regular GPLv3, namely that a lot of people don't consider it to be a Free Software license. Specifically, it has a lot of properties of a EULA in that you can't modify it as you see fit even if you don't plan to distribute it.

    Rats. I was looking forward to this.

    Well, that's EXTREMELY different than GPL. So they call it the Affero GPLv3? as in it's like GPL, but not? What the hell.
