Coding and Sleeping

I hate eclipse, for the third straight day it's locking up on start. Time to blow away my settings, again. The integration with Perforce source control sucks, the built-in differ sucks, it does weird shit when it's maximized. I've been spoiled by Intellij's IDE.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Eclipse has lovely support for plugging things in, but IntelliJ is such a well put-together package that I am clinging to it even though my employer would like us all to jump to Eclipse. They're also trying to take Perforce away from us, which is the saddest thing ever to make me sad.

Thunderbird 3 (latest upgrade) is more like thundersnail for me. I think they don't care that there are still people out there on XP with 1 meg of Ram and a slow processor. As long as I'm looking at going back to 2., is there some other email client I should consider instead?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm pretty sure that 1 meg of RAM is way below the minimum required for XP, even in 2001 when it was released.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I dunno - Microsoft requires a maximum of 1 gig of RAM for a netbook to be allowed to use XP Home.

(Their idea is any netbook with more than 1 gig of RAM should use Vista (or now Windows 7).)

edit for RAM error....

Sorry 1 Gig, not 1 Meg.

I think you're off by an order of magnitude, tommyrot.

And that 1 Gig is for netbooks too, so I'm not the only one making this mistake.
