References?

This appears to disagree. California is last. Texas is near the buttom.

I'm sure you have counter references (honestly... I do). This was just the first Google hit. But, here is another. California is midway (top is bad, bottom is good) with Texas in the lower third or so.

Yeah, we love fracking! Now give us the 2.9 million dollars...

Lawsuit money that is. Green Gold. Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know ol Bob's a millionaire, Doctors said "Bob move away from there" Said "Californy is the place you ought to be" So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly.

Hills that is. Swimmin' pools, clean air.

Wait, what?

Isn't it obvious? Move to Beverly Hills. Sue the city for air quality. Move on to the next lawsuit.

Aboutt 400,000 people live in 404 area!

You have no idea what you are talking about regarding crime. Its MUCH worse in DFW. In fact you guys seem to be really big on rape. WTF?

25% more murders, almost 400% the rapes, 4x the burglaries, almost triple the thefts. You guys are a bunch of criminals.

Taxes ARE lower, however employment, income and education levels are too. Nice try though!

Believe it or not, there are plenty of domains that exist but do not have websites! Is there something inherently wrong with this? I think not. I hope nobody thinks so.

I also wonder what people think of the tendency to register lots of unrelated domain names to pull people into a generic commercial site, sich as how america.org and Top50.com both send you the same site.

Personally, both these sites (and usa.com {looksmart and infospace content channelled through a different name/site} ) are a pet peeve of mine. I'd like to see or put something up about my own country using the name of the country as a domain that isn't a clone of 500 other portals. At least USA.org is part of the open directory project.

For a while people really were squatting on these names and auctioning them off. (and yes, there is active auctioning on america.info and usa.info that I'm hoping will either go to someone creative and/or be screwed by the start-up phase away from the registrars that are trying to pump the price and to (randomly selected) registrars with smaller-time non-rich folk using them.)

perhaps I'm an optimist

Pegasus mail does this too, or at least something very, very similiar.

From their page on encryption:

Encryptor and security-related plugins for Pegasus Mail.

This page lists locations for add-ons you can use to add encryption capabilities to, or enhance the security of Pegasus Mail for Windows.

QDPGP Developed by Gerard Thomas, this is the premier 32-bit encryption plugin for Pegasus Mail, and the only one currently officially certified by the developer of Pegasus Mail itself. With support for all major versions of PGP and for a variety of other encryption and security concepts, QDPGP offers the most complete and well-integrated encryption component available for Pegasus Mail. Requires any 32-bit version of Pegasus Mail v3.0 or later.

PGP-JN Developed by John Navas, this module provides support for PGP v2.6 for the 16-bit version of Pegasus Mail.

PMPGP Created by Michael in der Wiesche, PMPGP provides an alternative to QDPGP for 32-bit versions of Pegasus Mail, with excellent support for the full gamut of PGP functions, and an optional interface and documentation in German.

I have tried other programs - I wrote an email to netscape in '98 asking them to implement multiple POP support and they believed very few people would ever use that. Perhaps that attitude got them to where the... never mind that one :)

As far as i can tell pegasus was the first email client that implemented mail filtering rules, multiple accounts, and quite a few other goodies that are commonplace now. It's also been a free program since inception and the guy programming it seems to be a terribly smart aleck with great ideas and seems to listen to good ideas from the user community.

If you wont end up using pegasus at least you will have been impressed with examining it.

Too bad it isnt available for linux, however anyone willing enough to try seems welcome and seems to have to do a serious rewrite.

And the most interesting thing is:
Current and previous addresses going back 10 years
Any additional phone numbers available
Family members of individual
Other people at the same address
Neighbors with listed phone numbers
Spouses (if individual currently lives in Florida or Texas)
Civil Judgments
Bankruptcies
Summary of Assets
Professional Licenses
Property Ownership and value
UCC Lien Filings

Well, umm, who else thinks this is going WAY TOO FAR ?
oh btw. you have to pay $39.95 to get all that information, too.
They make money on giving out all this information about MYSELF!
Can we do anything about this ? Can't I sue them for this ?

While it would be nice to have Wine run these apps, the best long-term solutions are Evolution and other homegrown MUA's/e-mail clients. There are two reasons. First, a native app will be superior. Second, there is no truly great all-purpose e-mail app on any platform. Maybe Evolution or some other Linux-bred app will claim the prize.

Reminds me of the XOR encryption Micros~1 used with synchronization between Windows CE and NT. In that case, the obfuscation key was susageP, Pegasus backward. (Pegasus was the code name for the project that became CE and is not connected with Pegasus Mail.)
