Please!

Absolutely loved those games and I would love to mix it up on XvT on my FiOS connection after playing it on dial-up back in the day

I agree. If you look at my posts above I had high hopes for evolution-mapi but it crashes on login :(

However I will say that using VirtualBox in seamless mode isn't too bad. Outlook sits on my desktop like any other app. I can take that pain more than I can take the pain of developing on Windows.

Actually using KVPNC I've had no issues with Cisco VPN connections.

I find it sad that Exchange support is still considered a "specialized need" :). Personally I wish Mozilla would add it to Thunderbird. T-bird is a much better mail client anyway. (IMHO)

That's weird. My Nvidia drivers upgraded with no problem.

I like the speed and the new interface. Both are very nice. I was really excited when I read there were improvements to handling multiple monitors and the evolution-mapi plugin that would finally let me use the office's exchange server. Sadly both have missed the mark.

I use the Nvidia driver which means the fancy new monitor settings are not available to me (it pops an alert that tells me I have to open the Nvidia utility). The good thing is I don't have to hunt for the utility, it opens it for me, the bad is the utility is mostly useless. X sees my two screens as one huge screen, which is fine when I have two screens but sucks when I undock the laptop. No way to switch to one screen without hand-editing xorg.conf

I've always had high-hopes for evolution and I don't know why because its always been buggy and slow. This time is no different: "We have REAL exchange support this time! I promise". Sadly while I was able to install the mapi plugin and it shows in my settings, evolution helpfully crashes when I try to login. There are bugs filed against it ...maybe it will get fixed ... someday

And no, I have no love for exchange but I'm forced to use it. I have used the evolution-exchange package that connects through OWA ... its slow and buggy. Often refusing to download my mail, losing the connection to "the backend process" requiring me to delete a certain file. All in all, not worth the hassle.

For now I'm stuck using Outlook in an XP virtual

I wonder how long until /. changes achievements to a lame word instead of the actual number :-D

Vim and Emacs users agreeing on something!?

Hell is freezing as I type ...

You know that there is a native vim and gvim for windows right?

Most people install FilterSet-G with AdBlock. It blocks Google text ads by default

The most annoying thing is having to go on the web to find a doc. PHP is horrifying enough and then you read the docs and find all the exceptions to whatever rule (and the bugs) in the comments.

For Perl:
perldoc -f [function name]

Or perldoc [Module::Name] (also man Module::Name works on most Linux distros)

Also on Linux, 'man perl' gives a list of a whole ton of man pages that give you specific information on regexes, objects, references, syntax, variables, etc.

And if you have to have it in a pretty web interface it is indeed all online
(module docs are as well)

Say what you want about Perl but it has tons of useful modules and it is very well documented.
