| schestowitz | Your 'asset' in Thunderbird under UNIX is ~/.thunderbird and maybe ~/.gnupg. All I ever need to do is graft these directories into any distro, apt-get install thunderbird and it all works fine. If the profile is messed up, that's another problem.

| schestowitz | I don't think the issue is site-specific or OS-specific. I too had similar issues in Thunderbird over the years (longer than a decade). It's not perfect, but then again, no mail client is perfect. I once thought about setting up a sort of newsletter that informs subscribers of new updates/posts, but there are many problems with that (scale, spam, etc.) including lack of wordpress extensions. | Aug 04 21:06 |

| schestowitz | " | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | " | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | Thanks. Here's some more info if you're interested. (Wasn't trying to judge your opinion of it.) | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | The first few points: laid off many employees, billions in losses, permanently ended many products. | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | Here's what actually happened: Microsoft used to be run like a bunch of competing companies with very little cooperation in between teams. Steve Ballmer decided that this wasn't working and started the process of integrating the company, which Satya Nadella finished. | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | Microsoft was in a tough spot with Nokia. They were one of the last companies making a lot of Windows phones, but they were headed for bankruptcy. A lot of people were critical of Stephen Elop of going all-in with Windows rather than making Android phones, but the fact is that the Android market was and is pretty saturated, and almost nobody except Apple is making money on smartphones. I doubt he was sent to ruin the company. They were | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | already on that path when they had been sticking conservatively to dumbphones despite the changing market. | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | So Microsoft bought Nokia to keep Windows Phone in the game. And they were pretty successful. They continued to grow and actually outperform expectations. But that wasn't enough to fit a mostly Finnish company into the new Microsoft which was trying to consolidate its business rather than run a bunch of separate entities. So Satya Nadella decided to lay off most of the acquired staff and write off the expense of buying the company. Some of | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | the employees were transferred to other departments in Microsoft, but the ones that were laid off probably got a lot better deal on severance than they would have at a bankrupt Nokia, and yes they were doing better before they bet on Windows, but that was because their dumbphones were still selling in developing markets. That market was mostly gone by the time they started to decline. | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | Although Microsoft put about $7 billion in cash in the bank last quarter, they wrote off the $7.6 billion cost of buying Nokia, so on paper they lost money. This was just a way of saving on taxes and making laying off all those people affordable. They actually did better than industry analysts and Wall Street expected overall. | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | The guy in charge of Windows Phone was put in charge of all of Windows as well as their first-party hardware. Windows Phone was changed to Windows Mobile because, like the consolidation of the company from a bunch of separate entities to a more coordinated body, they wanted to make Windows a single thing. Windows Mobile will now run desktop software while connected to a monitor. It will have universal apps that will run on desktop, tablet, or | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | phone. The consolidation was part of the overall strategy to unify the company, not kill off the phone business. | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | There's plenty that Microsoft does wrong. Their legal department has been able to make a ton of money suing with patents. It doesn't fit into what they say they want the new Microsoft to be, but it still makes billions of dollars, so I doubt they will restrain it. What we need is legal action to abolish software patents so these types of behaviors aren't so profitable. | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | " | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | " | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | Patent trolling is rampant in tech Microsoft isn't the only bad actor. The other side of the coin is that until the lay of the land changes, companies like Microsoft (which conduct business in a breadth of technology markets) can't afford not to play the game. | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | Don't take this as defending the practice, I'm just making the point that it can't be up to companies to fix the problem, expecting them to do so is expecting them to act against their own interests. | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | For example, Bill Gates' divestment of stock has been scheduled for years, and the plan is to be fully divested by 2018.

Granted, the original theme did look (mostly) like that, but as you can see, even it can be made to look like quite different with effort. That was not a mockup I showed, it was a screen shot of a live browser edit using Chrome's dev tools. In other words, what I did, which took no time at all, *could* be done by their dev and saved to the style sheet. That shadow alone, that cuts across | Aug 06 20:34 |

| schestowitz | Fairly easily for whom? If it's so easy, why couldn't you modify the WP theme you were using to match the rest of your site? | Aug 06 20:43 |
| schestowitz | My take: The reason you had issues and the reason you can't make a simple fluid layout is most likely because you put all your eggs in the Dreamweaver basket.

| schestowitz | The downside of Dreamweaver has always been the probability of creating an army of 'developers' that don't really understand how things work. I started off with it myself, but I quickly realized the kind of crutch it was going to be. I recently watched a demo of the latest version, there is still *so* much clicking around, *so* much to learn about the app that you can't get sh*t done! I get it, you have a lot of time invested in it and it's a | Aug 06 20:43 |

| schestowitz | In any event, with respect to the "minimalistic" look Slimer mentioned, CSS is CSS, no matter what kind of site you use it on, so changing that look is not limited to "things like WordPress". | Aug 06 20:43 |

| schestowitz | I, like Linus Torvalds, use what works for me. My OS is a mix of proprietary | Aug 06 20:53 |
| schestowitz | and open source parts, as is the software I run on it. Very pragmatic. I use | Aug 06 20:53 |

| schestowitz | he was betrayed by many people | Aug 06 20:55 |

| schestowitz | see how Torvalds responds to the same question | Aug 06 20:56 |
| schestowitz | even if phrased misleadingly, like in /. | Aug 06 20:56 |
| schestowitz | They both do the right thing (for them) by dodging the controversy | Aug 06 20:57 |

| schestowitz | Your 'asset' in Thunderbird under UNIX is ~/.thunderbird and maybe ~/.gnupg.

| schestowitz | I don't think the issue is site-specific or OS-specific. I too had similar issues in Thunderbird over the years (longer than a decade). It's not perfect, but then again, no mail client is perfect. I once thought about setting up a sort of newsletter that informs subscribers of new updates/posts, but there are many problems with that (scale, spam, etc.) including lack of wordpress extensions. | Aug 04 21:06 |

| schestowitz | Than just taking the article at face value as accurate and truthful. | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | " | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | " | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | Thanks. Here's some more info if you're interested. (Wasn't trying to judge your opinion of it.) | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | The first few points: laid off many employees, billions in losses, permanently ended many products. | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | Here's what actually happened: Microsoft used to be run like a bunch of competing companies with very little cooperation in between teams. Steve Ballmer decided that this wasn't working and started the process of integrating the company, which Satya Nadella finished. | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | Microsoft was in a tough spot with Nokia. They were one of the last companies making a lot of Windows phones, but they were headed for bankruptcy. A lot of people were critical of Stephen Elop of going all-in with Windows rather than making Android phones, but the fact is that the Android market was and is pretty saturated, and almost nobody except Apple is making money on smartphones. I doubt he was sent to ruin the company. They were | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | already on that path when they had been sticking conservatively to dumbphones despite the changing market. | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | So Microsoft bought Nokia to keep Windows Phone in the game. And they were pretty successful. They continued to grow and actually outperform expectations. But that wasn't enough to fit a mostly Finnish company into the new Microsoft which was trying to consolidate its business rather than run a bunch of separate entities. So Satya Nadella decided to lay off most of the acquired staff and write off the expense of buying the company. Some of | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | the employees were transferred to other departments in Microsoft, but the ones that were laid off probably got a lot better deal on severance than they would have at a bankrupt Nokia, and yes they were doing better before they bet on Windows, but that was because their dumbphones were still selling in developing markets. That market was mostly gone by the time they started to decline. | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | Although Microsoft put about $7 billion in cash in the bank last quarter, they wrote off the $7.6 billion cost of buying Nokia, so on paper they lost money. This was just a way of saving on taxes and making laying off all those people affordable. They actually did better than industry analysts and Wall Street expected overall. | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | The guy in charge of Windows Phone was put in charge of all of Windows as well as their first-party hardware. Windows Phone was changed to Windows Mobile because, like the consolidation of the company from a bunch of separate entities to a more coordinated body, they wanted to make Windows a single thing. Windows Mobile will now run desktop software while connected to a monitor. It will have universal apps that will run on desktop, tablet, or | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | phone. The consolidation was part of the overall strategy to unify the company, not kill off the phone business. | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | There's plenty that Microsoft does wrong. Their legal department has been able to make a ton of money suing with patents. It doesn't fit into what they say they want the new Microsoft to be, but it still makes billions of dollars, so I doubt they will restrain it. What we need is legal action to abolish software patents so these types of behaviors aren't so profitable. | Aug 06 07:58 |

| schestowitz | " | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | Patent trolling is rampant in tech Microsoft isn't the only bad actor. The other side of the coin is that until the lay of the land changes, companies like Microsoft (which conduct business in a breadth of technology markets) can't afford not to play the game. | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | Don't take this as defending the practice, I'm just making the point that it can't be up to companies to fix the problem, expecting them to do so is expecting them to act against their own interests. | Aug 06 07:58 |
| schestowitz | For example, Bill Gates' divestment of stock has been scheduled for years, and the plan is to be fully divested by 2018. This is done to finance the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to combat things like hunger and malaria, and it's used here as some kind of evidence that he's lost faith in the company. Really bad form, and completely embarrassing. | Aug 06 07:58 |

| schestowitz | The downside of Dreamweaver has always been the probability of creating an army of 'developers' that don't really understand how things work.

| schestowitz | In any event, with respect to the "minimalistic" look Slimer mentioned, CSS is CSS, no matter what kind of site you use it on, so changing that look is not limited to "things like WordPress". | Aug 06 20:43 |
