Threads are like children. At some point you have to let them run free (or bury them in the garden if you think they'll talk to the pigs)

No way man. Notes' best feature is the .id file you need for every user, that you need to copy to every user's machine before they can log in. I can't tell you how many hours .id files have saved-- they never disappear, get corrupted, or need to be regenerated. And since they need to be copied to each machine after Notes is installed, they prevent your IT staff from being tempted by the evils of system images. In fact, Notes' security is so good they helpfully refuse to give you an easy way to do single-sign-on using the Active Directory password and force their far superior .id file system on you.
Yes I know Notes has a configuration to "automatically" copy the .id files around. Before you "correct" me. And yes I know that the version I administered was 6.5 and it probably has single-sign-on now. Before you "correct" me.
Lotus Notes has built-in single-sign-on: once you sign-on for the first time you never want to use it again.

LET'S ALL POST SCREENSHOTS OF OUR TASK MANAGER SHOWING HOW MUCH MEMORY OUR EMAIL CLIENTS ARE USING!
As everyone can see, Lotus Notes is using lots of memory, more than Outlook or Gmail. And Linux is very lightweight.

@MatNewman said:@Speakerphone Dude said:Wait a minute, I don't know anyone called Tim but when I tryfrom:jim
it works because a few people I know have "jim" in their name or email address.
cough bullshit coughHmm....I wasn't able to reproduce this originally, but when I put in only a partial bit of the name (e.g., Dere instead of Derek), I got a similar result. I put in Tim, and while there were no drop down suggestions, it found some mails from people with Tim in their name.
This is not a bug, this is a design decision (search entire word, not characters) because anyways the auto-completion will fire up when you start typing.
I really hate partial finds in search because when I want to see emails from Tim, I am not interested to have the results polluted by emails from "Latimer". If I want to find emails from Latimer and I am too lazy to type his name, after a few characters I can pick him from the auto-completion drop-down.
Google products have some issues but they are well-designed for search.

I was visiting family in Texas (all the way from Europe).
The real WTF is that at some point people in that family left Texas to move to Europe. WHY? It's like taking back a Dodge Viper to the dealership and saying: give me a Cavalier instead, this one is too awesome for me.

If you seriously believe that sequence numbering solutions like Lamport timestamps or even vector clocks are more complicated than NTP, then I'm afraid you are TRWTF.
I understand NTP quite well but I have absolutely no idea what are those things you talk about. I tried to read the Wikipedia article but when I saw the funny symbols like that sideway anarchist logo I gave up.
If this is a competition to explain a simple solution that even an uneducated overpaid consultant like me can understand and maintain, jes wins. If the competition is about name-dropping complicated stuff that only recent CS majors or people with severe social disorders can understand and maintain, then congratulations, you are the King of Unmaintainable Complicated Stuff.

Yeah, basically what everybody else said. If the point of sorting by sender is to find a particular email, then you can just do a regular search for it.Plus, on the flip-side, sort-by-sent-to always fucks up when you have emails cc'd to multiple people.
I have multiple entries for TO:
Boss
IT
Boss, IT
IT, Boss
it@example.com, Boss
boss@home.example.com, "IT <Remote Office EX>"
dude@it.example.com
I guess "boss@home" is your wife, unless your mother-in-law lives with you for the summer, but I don't know why you would write to her and to your Ex in the remote office at the same time, even if you call her "it" to calm down wifey. Trouble trouble.

Hey Lotus guy,If you could pick just one feature, what would you say is THE best thing about using Lotus Notes? What is that one feature you would just love love love to see transplanted into all apps so that they could all be as wonderful as Notes? If you were starting your own software company developing some unrelated program, what would be that one thing you copy from Notes in order to emulate its greatness?
Definitely the hieroglyphics on the logon form. I heard they had to remove them because one time in an office in Laramie the random characters happened to be an ancien spell, waking Anubis from the dead and causing endless calls to animal services.

Over my decades as a programmer, many times a superior has asked "What are you working on?" It may be my "boss", it may be the CEO of the company. I have learned to ALWAYS have several items ready as answers to that question. I say "I'm working primarily on A, and part-time on B, and waiting for an answer regarding C." Every item is of clear benefit to the company. He says "Good, carry on." and leaves me alone so I can go back to reading The Daily WTF
Now I work from home through the internet. I make sure that "The Man With The Money" hears from me once in a while; a final release, a beta release, a status report of some kind.
This is why God created burn down charts - as long as the line goes down everybody is happy, and one can inject a bit of drama by updating the estimated time left for a task, which creates a bump in the line. If a client/manager/PMO can be trained to use Agile, actuals disappear and one does not have to adapt its biorythm to a stupid project plan. This works well in real projects, less in maintenance/support mode.

This happens all the time in linux and reminds me
why i keeping putting it down and doing something else.Seems to be a rule with linux and OSS projects to keep v1 of the
documentation online ven though v2 and v3 have been available for 4
years and have sustantial cli and achitecture changes from v1.
Additionally the best bit is when options are removed or moved from
config files, however the config file itself still exists...
combinedwith the old v1 docs drives me nuts.
I'd prefer "Beat whores to dead" but I guess this one works too

seems intuitive to me. It is a logarithmic function.
You have to scroll to the bottom to get the Cliff's note version: "Doubling the loudness feeling is obtained by an increase of the (loudness) level of about 10dB."

I have the exact same build. Emptied browsing data, rebooted, page still broken. Sometimes I even see javascript scramble when I refresh it. MAYBE THIS IS BECAUSE OF 9/11
Edit:f*ck me, it was apparently adblock. WTF? I disabled it, then the page loaded, then I enabled adblock again and the page is still loading properly.
