Old as the article may be, if anyone is interested: http://sup.rubyforge.org is a gmail-inspired command-line mail client. Threading, tagging, full-text search, hooks etc.

Or it might be possible to somehow have a government of the people. Not a separate bolt-on installation consisting of some type of aliens not in any way related to people with whom it constantly wars.

If instead you ask people who actually know what the hell they are talking about , q.f. people who were brought up by gay parents, you will find the vast majority to be quite happy about it.

Merging and rebasing both have their benefits and use cases. Just do not fall for the "squash everything into one commit and rebase" BS recently afflicting otherwise rational people.

> I sold for a net profit of $125,000 after all fees, commissions, etc. Where does that "value" come from? The entire real estate market is built on the premise of property valuation continuously raising - causing and eventually sur

I have to say that I have not seen much evidence of people not being aware of what is going on in general terms, or challenging the groundings. Upset, sure, but (for once) pretty much upset at the right target: ms. Nature.

> What was pre-colonial Africa evolving towards? And what is your evidence? It is unknowable. By way of proof of difference I offer the assertion that it is unlikely that a society would be unlikely to arrange itself as a colonial sub

Sort of tangentially to this (fairly good) article, I have noticed a number of people recently somehow conflating all fructose with high-fructose corn syrup and other refined variants. I am not sure if this is just symptomatic of ignorance

And perhaps the "real world" will adjust too. Flexible hours etc.

Or perhaps you are changing the meaning of "programming" to your own taste? I could just as well state that "programming" is the act of entering a program in some entity that will later execute it.

Sort of. Being glib for a bit, I think it is more accurate to say that "hey guys", "you guys" and similar are compound gender-neutral terms .

My bank(ing system) has not used cheques day-to-day for about 30 years now. The U.S. banking system is still literally and figuratively in the 80's. So, no, I do not think you can talk about a "killer app" quite yet. USAA is the Mac OS 1.0
