In addition to the information listed above, the path to your personal folders file (PST) file and your logon name are embedded in the winmail.dat file. Although this data is not explicitly exposed to the recipient, if the recipient opens the winmail.dat file for editing in a binary or text editor, he can see the path and logon name. Note that no password information is revealed. To ensure that the path to your PST file or your logon name is not included in the winmail.dat attachment, use the steps in this article to send mail that does not include winmail.dat.
This thing is handing off two bits of somewhat valuable information to the reader of the email. The location of the senders mail store on his local machine, as well as his logon name, either too his local machine, or his server. Now I wouldn't really know how to use that info, but I'm sure there are people out there who would.
Does anybody know if the new contract takes effect for those who have had Domains registered under previous contracts?? Doesn't NSI have to notify it's customers if they modify the contract?
How would YOU react if you'd spent all the time and effort Bezos has, only to see that a competitor is copying everything you do, and trying very specifically to put YOUR company out of business? What other methods are there, legally, to stop this sort of thing?
The whole "Tipping Point" thing was a fairly good analogy. It makes sense. I think Amazon could actually garner much more support by using the Internet community, not by ignoreing it, and going the legal route (Customers be Damned!). You tell me, would you stand behind Amazon if they used methods that focused more on inovating and expanding on what the Internet is all about, rather then using a Legal system to try and maintain dominance?
I think the fact that there's just NOW coming to market a decent Chipset for the Athlon has hurt AMD quite a bit. I also think AMD should come out of the closet a bit and share what they know of why their Irontgate chipset isn't always compatible with AGP2x as it's spec'ed to be.
And while Intel may have they're bugs, they're very public these days, and therefore they're fixed very quickly, and you can typically get the fix without too much trouble or cash. Granted, that's not necessarily the case with the RAMBUS issue, but who has the money to buy the stuff at this point??? (:
Yes, I may get flamed for saying that bit about the Irongate, (Some think it's the Athlon MB Manufacturers not meeting spec, and nVidia hasn't entirely sidestepped blame..) but it's AMD's Processor AND Chipset. If something's not meeting spec, they should do something about it, or at least make the consumer aware of a problem, and what to watch out for.
So while AMD may truly look to be doing "Better and Better" both chip makers still have their own problems to deal with.
Ok, so in the spirit of "Open" community, why isn't there some sort of setup whereby people can simply donate funds for MP3s to various artists? Some sort of listing of Artists' contact information. This way, if, say you download an entire album of some band, and you think they deserve a little credit for it, you can make a donation, or whatever you feel like calling it, to the band. This would bypass the recording industry all together for people who don't want the physical media, or who burn their own CD's.
The downside to this, is that making music is a cycle. I'm sure bands get studio time, as well as compensation help when touring and such, from the record labels. If such a "Donation" idea caught on, and it did in fact manage to kill the recording industry, what would take it's place??
....or did I just miss someplace that's already doing such a thing. Yes, it's similar to MP3.com, but A) I don't see anywhere on their site that lists how to send money to an artist, and B) MP3.com doesn't have "Mainstream", or "Labeled" artists, which tend to be the bulk of bootlegged MP3s.
