synchronising two laptops

synchronising two laptops

am 06.06.2005 20:40:34 von Pete Evans

I have two laptops. One I use as a "desktop", the other I take on my
travels.
Can I synchronise the data & apps between the two? Specifically, I'd
like to be able to work on email on two seperate copies of outlook, but

be able to sync any changes!

I don't know Windows (beyond the fact that it sucks),
but can well imagine that you would be able to do that
by buying some bloated software + technical support and
spending 3 weeks pulling out your hair until the bugs
were worked out, and just having to live with the fact
that it only worked 9 times out of ten....

If your were running Linux, this would be a piece of cake.
And the 100% dependable software would be free and open
source.

Logging into your home computer to check your email would
seem to be a much wiser choice.

Or just using web-based mail.

(that's a big "duh")

Beavis, instead of listing things that you don't know -- which could take
time -- it would be much easier just to list things that you do know. It's
gotta be a much shorter list.

Excellent news, Beavis. Perhaps you would like to share your amazing script
for synchronizing content between two laptops.

You must know how we all eagerly await examples of your expert programming
skills.

Beavis, can you try a bit more specific answer to FAQ #5 below? The above
is a good start, at least it's definitely better than your typical nebulous
kookery. But you need to do better than this. A specific numeric range
would be great, together with an explanation as to how you came to your
conclusion.

Beavis FAQ #6.

============================================================ ================

FAQ: Canonical list of questions Beavis refuses to answer (V1.30)

This is a canonical list of questions that Beavis never answers. This FAQ is
posted on a semi-regular schedule, as circumstances warrant.

For more information on Beavis, see:

http://angel.1jh.com/nanae/kooks/alanconnor.shtml

Although Beavis has been posting for a long time, he always remains silent
on the subjects enumerated below. His response, if any, usually consists of
replying to the parent post with a loud proclamation that his Usenet-reading
software runs a magical filter that automatically identifies anyone who's
making fun of him, and hides those offensive posts. For more information
see question #9 below.

============================================================ ================

1) If spammers avoid forging real E-mail addresses on spam, then where do
all these bounces everyone reports getting (for spam with their return
address was forged onto) come from?

2) If your Challenge-Response filter is so great, why do you still munge
when posting to Usenet?

3) Do you still believe that rsh is the best solution for remote access?
(http://tinyurl.com/5qqb6)

4) What is your evidence that everyone who disagrees with you, and thinks
that you're a moron, is a spammer?

5) How many different individuals do you believe really post to
comp.mail.misc? What is the evidence for your paranoid belief that everyone,
except you, who posts here is some unknown arch-nemesis of yours?

6) How many times, or how often, do you believe is necessary to announce
that you do not read someone's posts? What is your reason for making these
regularly-scheduled proclamations? Who do you believe is so interested in
keeping track of your Usenet-reading habits?

7) When was the last time you saw Bigfoot (http://tinyurl.com/23r3f)?

8) If your C-R system employs a spam filter so that it won't challenge spam,
then why does any of the mail that passes the filter, and is thusly presumed
not to be spam, need to be challenged?

9) You claim that the software you use to read Usenet magically identifies
any post that makes fun of you. In http://tinyurl.com/3swes you explain
that "What I get in my newsreader is a mock post with fake headers and no
body, except for the first parts of the Subject and From headers."

Since your headers indicate that you use slrn and, as far as anyone knows,
the stock slrn doesn't work that way, is this interesting patch to slrn
available for download anywhere?

10) You regularly post alleged logs of your procmail recipe autodeleting a
bunch of irrelevant mail that you've received. Why, and who exactly do you
believe is interested in your mail logs?

11) How exactly do you "enforce" an "order" to stay out of your mailbox,
supposedly (http://tinyurl.com/cs8jt)? Since you issue this "order" about
every week, or so, apparently nobody wants to follow it. What are you going
to do about it?

12) What's with your fascination with shit? (also http://tinyurl.com/cs8jt)?

13) You complain about some arch-nemesis of yours always posting forged
messages in your name. Can you come up with even a single URL, as an example
of what you're talking about?
