Yes, Denizens - I know it's Cafe Press. Yes, I know that they're a liberal-owned company. Yes, I'm aware that the quality of their garments may not be quite as good as ThoseShirts.com.
But unlike ThoseShirts.com, Cafe Press ACTUALLY ANSWERS THE EMAIL I SEND THEM!!!!
Got clue, ThoseShirts???
Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

[SCENE:  Deep space.  His Rudeness, Lord Darth Venomous is on his way back from a (ahem) personal errand…]
VENOMOUS:  I don’t think I like the tone of your “voice”, Narrator.
[And just what were you doing out of pocket for so long, (sarc) my liege????? (/sarc) (As if we didn’t…gakkkkk…akkkkk)]
VENOMOUS:  Comprehension & cognizant thinking aren’t your strong suits, are they, dickweed?  (looks offstage, as the Narrator drops to the floor with a very  hollow sound)  Awright, Understudy, your turn.
[…from a personal errand, and is traveling in his personal courier, the Scorpion-class Excelsior.
A blinking console light catches the Admiral’s attention.  He opens a channel.]
VENOMOUS:  Excelsior, Venomous.
KORRIOTH (over speaker):  Korriorh, Admiral.  Stellar cartography update for you, sir.
VENOMOUS:  Very good, Kor, shoot it through.
[He touches a few more switches and opens a separate channel to receive the download.  After five minutes, the download completes and the software channel closes.
At that very moment, everything goes dark as Excelsior  loses power & drops out of warp.
Lord Venomous sits there, non-plussed.]
VENOMOUS:  No, Narrator, just wondering what to do when I get back.
[Get back, m’lord?]
VENOMOUS:  Whether to Force-choke the p’tahk, or use my lightsaber to cut out one of his hearts.

Ever had an Ubuntu kernel update hose your system, Denizens?
That’s three days I’ll never get back.
Sigh.

(KORRIOTH: Oh, great. More wormholes.)
Mozilla Firefox doesn't do too badly, either; in fact, it's His Rudeness' browser of choice. -

Nutscrape,
if you so desire - but why in blazes would you want to use a browser from a company that had to hide behind Janet El Reño's skirt to be successful?
And don't even get me started on Opera or Chrome. I'm not about to trust any browser that won't let me change its color scheme.
No, just out of curiosity, what version do you use?
Both systems are on Ubuntu 10.04.4 64-bit, with Windows 7 virtual machines for the purpose of using Outlook.  Critical when using the work machine – which happens to be the one that died on my this weekend.
Another tip:  When using a configuration such as this, should the host (Linux) machine die, the VM settings can not  be backed up – the VM has to be installed clean & fresh (though you can use the old virtual hard drive files, if you like).
I use Ubuntu 12.04 with XP in a dual boot situation. Thus far I have never had an Ubuntu build just up and crash on me.
Does your employer require you to use outlook? I have a calendar add-on for Thunderbird which works just dandy. It would be even better if I could figure out how to sync my IPhone with Thunderbird. IN any case, perhaps you might want to try that, and ditch Windoze completely?
It’s not just Outlook.  There’s also the matter of Active Directory, to which I need access.
I’ve tried getting Outlook to function inside Wine, and I’ve never been able to get it to go.  Also, I don’t remember T-Bird being compatible with Exchange.  Have you ever tried it with that?
