Surely they could just opt to sync every folder except the "[Gmail]/All Mail" folder. Doing that, and syncing [Gmail]/Trash to the Yahoo! deleted mail equivalent would sort it all out.
I think you're right though. Sounds like the people handling the migration just aren't very familiar with the Google IMAP interface.
Well I never... Everyone I've ever heard saying it in person has pronounced it 'Lyenux' but even Wikipedia now lists 'Linnux' as the correct pronunciation (I didn't edit it. Honest).
For many, many years, Linux was only spoken about on-line, and if you actually ran across a conversation in real life, it was in some sort of deep-tech/troubleshooting capacity.
Which has rather unfortunately left me pronouncing it 'Linnux' in my head and having to consciously translate it whenever I say it out loud.
I had a similar experience in primary school computer club where I pronounced 'data' da-ta. Oh, how everyone laughed. I hid in a cupboard.
Isn't this whole article a bit of a strawman? When discussion open government people are - in my experience at least - more commonly referring to improved representation, accountability, and a role in policy making. This article (unless I've misunderstood) is instead arguing against open-as-in-free-enterprise. Which yes, I think is a pretty daft approach to governance.
What I would like to see (personal soapbox; feel free to skip) is an approach to voting that allows for delegation of particular 'voting powers' to different individuals (e.g. a local representative, a public figure) with the option to reserve the self-same to yourself - with the associated obligation to actually vote in a given debate. Debates would still be held, televised, videoconferenced, etc. and voting on legislation would happen as it does (although more likely remotely). Yet, we get finer control of our vote on issues of particular interest. While the disinterested can still nominate someone else to vote on their behalf.
Put that online, make it all web2.0 with voting records on issues/breakdown. There you have it: Open governance (* at least more open and immune to lobbying that it currently is).
I've wondered about this before, maybe someone more enlightened on the physics can clear it up.
If you add shock absorbers (I'm hypothetically imagining a giant spring mechanism to keep it simple). As the fusion reaction provides forward force, the spring will compress absorbing the impact and lessening the discomfort for the crew module. Then it un-compresses releasing the energy.
But half that energy is going back in the direction of the fusion reaction (assuming it's a short-lived pop). Aren't you losing half your efficiency to dampen the impact? Is there an alternative?
It is not possible to plan 4 years ahead to ensure success. What you get instead is a PhD project plan that's wrapped in a set of general concepts (AKA escape routes) in case you hit a dead end. I'm currently doing a life science PhD and have changed tack at the half way point. A number of my colleagues have also, often quite drastically, whether for reasons of practical feasibility or time constraints.
If we know accurately what we were going to work on that far in advance, it has probably already been done.
I'm not sure where the comment about the UK and knives came from, or the relevance of being an American male. Your military training might help (assuming you were trained for the situation) but it's not neccessary. In Glasgow, Scotland (UK) an attempted truck-bombing of an airport ended with a baggage handler and other members of the public confronting the terrorists and kicking the crap out of them (to be fair, they were on fire at the time).
As you say, the game has changed. I don't think terrorists have a hope in hell anywhere in the Western world anymore. If I saw someone pull a knife, gun, bomb-vest in a crowded area I'd run right at them. And that's from a yellow-bellied, knife-fearing subject of her Hajesty.
NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO FUCKING PLAY GAMES WITH INTERNET MORONS OKAY?
Hear, hear. Playing a game is about escape. Sometimes 'escape' means social escape - that is no-other-people. This obsession with 'everything must be multiplayer' is like enforcing discussion while you're trying to enjoy a good movie or a book.
I like people. Sometimes I also like the absence of people.
Sounds big but in actual monetary terms that's (International Dollars) US 48,112 vs. France 35,246. That is the US is producing 1.36x wealth per capita.
Now that's obviously 'more'. But if the French are only working 3 hours a day and the Americans are working 9 hours a day the latter are not being very productive while doing it.
The point would be it would be configurable. I think there is more mileage in allowing default desktop tiling arrangements (even on a per-virtual-desktop basis). A lot of time you're either using the window fullscreen or rearranging things on the desktop. The recent ability to drag windows to an edge to split the screen is an acknowledgement of that.
I'd love a good modern tiling WM for desktop/mobile/phone - with configurable numbers of panes/arrangements on different devices (i.e. a single one on a phone, plug in an external monitor and get a split horizontal with sub-panes on the right.)
You have to be able to be able to show a real lift from that test and use that data to drive future campaigns.
Statistically significant lift? Or just buzzword compliant lift? Even industry-standard Google Analytics provides no measure of 'statistical significance' on their data. They are more than capable yet they choose not to - ask yourself why? People lap analytics up as somehow important "Woo!! 5% increase!! Our marketing works!!!" Um. No. Noise, seasonal variation, self-fulfilment, clicking on your own links. What you practise is not science, technology, or even largely based in reality.
Reading other posts saying you 'don't need them' I first thought "ugh, finger-pecking". But having checked myself I do most of the typing with the first and second fingers myself. The left third finger gets a bit of action in the QWASZX region + tab. While the right third is mostly lazy occasionally helping out with a;'. Right pinky is Return, left pinky Caps lock/Shift.
I actually got my left pinky knackered in a play fight with an ex girlfriend (she kicked the fingers right back and the little one never recovered). At the time I was convinced it would be a major problem and affect my typing - but it really isn't. Incidentally, my right pinky was also broken during birth and has always being bent. I just tested 80wpm on an unseen text.
You'll adapt to your injury just fine if you stop obsessing about it.
Not using standard seed packets, not tying your work to real farmyard results and not using the right countryside lingo can mean never getting called for a tilling, even if you have the right skills to work the plough. I once heard advice to grow the exact vegetables found in the supermarket when placing your seeds. I think you're even more unlikely to sell your produce if you do some of the things on this list."
I went for a job at NASA yesterday. Everything was going well until they asked me what my ambitions were. I replied, "The sky's the limit!" and they told me I wasn't suitable:/

I was at an anti-Poll Tax march with my mum, at the tender age of 9. Seems like an age away now.

Per capita GDP ranks the US at 8 and France at 23 (World Bank figures).

I meant (but didn't write clearly) that on a small screen you'd be using a single 'tile'.
The point would be it would be configurable. I think there is more mileage in allowing default desktop tiling arrangements (even on a per-virtual-desktop basis). A lot of time you're either using the window fullscreen or rearranging things on the desktop. The recent ability to drag windows to an edge to split the screen is an acknowledgement of that.

You forgot to start your post with "Yvonne Lee, Community Manager at Dice.com writes,"
I've stuck dice.com in my hosts file to make sure I don't ever go there by accident.
Not sure that was their intended effect.
My first thought was "ewww"... but then, maybe she does understand Slashdot after all?
