That would make doing useful things with sound that much harder though. I like my per-application sound controls without having to screw around with config files.

> It's not as robust as normal commercial library systems software

There are two things wrong here :)

a) it is a commercial library system. I get paid to work on it, to host it, to support it. So do many other people and companies. That's about as commercial as you can get.

b) libraries tend to like it more than their previous proprietary system because it is more robust. It doesn't crash (unless you overload it, but it handles that better than many other systems), it doesn't lose branches for days at a time for no good reason, doing repeated Z39.50 queries against it doesn't cause it to die *cough*voyager*cough*. In addition, it looks nice and is nice to use. Have you seen the public catalogues on proprietary systems? They are almost always horrifically ugly, and do things like have sessions in the URL, so you can't send links to someone else, or use multiple tabs reliably.

Koha is not "good enough because you're poor", although it fits that niche too. It's just good because it has more developers, more libraries involved with its development, and is not marketing-driven. Hell, it was totally web-based in 2000, most other ILS software isn't even now.

> Liblime Fauxha.

I'm stealing that. I hope you don't mind :)

LibLime doesn't deploy or develop on Koha any more. They have their own product they call Koha which is a several year old fork of the mainline Koha that they sell. The real Koha has moved on a long, long way now.

If cost could come into it, there there is some reciprocity involved. I (accurately or otherwise) think of it more as a kind of token trade. You're staying on someone's couch, you buy the beer. Someone gives you a lift a long way, you give them some petrol money. That kind of thing.

That makes no difference. The claim wasn't over it being a common language word (which it is here), it's over it being deceptive in the trademark sense. i.e. that there is something in the same space with the same name that's well known.

GP's question is perfectly relevant.

CItation needed.

Squeak Smalltalk was done by Disney and Apple, is pure-OO, and is very, very easy to teach.

I don't think I'd want to work for someone who is so totally short-sighted as you sound there. Also, weird use of language.

That sounds like a terrible idea. As soon as I saw the login form, I'd go away. That might be my loss, it might be yours, but neither of us will know as you have a too-high barrier of entry.

I tend to push the windows key and the unity dash pops up, type a couple of letters in, and whatever I was looking for appears. It's pretty quick and convenient. The ones I use the most are kept on the launcher, but for everything else I go through the dash. None of this having to memorise a fixed layout, or poke through menus to find things.

I think perhaps you are misunderstanding, and just aren't willing to change. Which is fine, but it's not their fault that's the case.

A quick skim of the IMAP RFC doesn't mention anything obvious about labels, but there are flags which seem like they could serve a similar purpose. However, I'd expect that no clients support this (of course, if gmail implemented it, they probably would before long.)

Though, it looks like they do something sorta similar.

As another non-American, I'm mostly affected because the Astronomy Picture of the Day isn't auto-updating the background on my phone :(

I've been looking at Filaments of the Vela Supernove Remnant for days now...

You want to kick off the people who are most likely to never make that mistake ever again? That doesn't seem wise.
