Total red herring. Felt left out since I couldn't think of a snappy saying to put in my sig line, so I put in something totally ridiculous. You're the first person that's ever asked after all these years. I've actually been there once or twice. Sorry if I raised an alarm.
Perhaps they should have included a 'solar cell wipper assembly' (Patent Pending) to wipe the dust off???
No, there's probably already a patent on it, and then you'd have hoards of lawyers descending upon Marshall, TX, to stop the rover from using it, so it'd die anyway.
... unless the Martians have their own patent docket... oh no, do you suppose the rovers are now violating any Martian patents??!? So they're dead either way.
Yahoo has nine bazillion users, so it must be worth trillions.
Well, perhaps eight bazillion users since some folks may not welcome the Redmondian overlords. I've got my escape pod over at Gmail ready to go should Yahoo! be boarded.
I've watched instantly on both PC, the "original" MSIE version, and Mac with Silverlight. On the PC, it's very watchable, especially in full-screen, and this is on a 2GHz P4. On Silverlight on the Mac it's like watching YouTube: massive pixellation on fast cuts and pans, and pretty fuzzy borders otherwise. And this is on a 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo MBP. Unless this is a result of it being beta or a Silverlight fault, I'd have to say that on a Mac it pretty well, to use a scientific term, sucks.
For once I'm glad that MS has taken up such a good cause. Perhaps he'll contribute something from the Gates Foundation to help combat the wretched conditions in Somalia that led to the piracy. That's where the true effort needs to be.
I sent myself an email from the web interface, and it's from a Standard Edition account, if that matters. The message header line I'm looking at looks like this:
Message-ID: <[a_lot_of_hex]@mail.gmail.com>
And then there's
Received: by qb-out-0101.google.com with SMTP id [more_hex].[hex]
Could be if I used SMTP from a client it may not have showed all that.
Like a previous replier said, it is cheaper to outsource this sort of thing, and like you said, nobody should really care about it. But now and then my curiosity gets the better of me and I do take a look.
The bad thing about using Google for small business, at least for the free option, is that on the email headers it will show that it came through gmail since it includes mail.gmail.com in it as part of the Message-ID, so if someone's really doing a look-see on what you're about, they'll figure it out.
take a lesson from brer rabbit (ie, from the BANNED film 'song of the south', by disney). you cannot run away from your troubles.
Oh, I'm afraid we'll have to take you in on that one. Mentioning a copyrighted work is now a violation of copyright, especially if in a pejorative tone.

You must have lucked out. I go through Microsoft mice at about one per year. Usually for something stupid like the left mouse button won't work anymore. Unfortunately Logitech mice don't fit my hand well--the top of Microsoft mice actually hit the inside of my palm, so that I'm not moving it around solely with my thumb and ring finger.
And don't get me started about Logitech keyboards where the keys go sticky (mega-resistance when hit off-center) after about a year.
Well, back in the 60s you got dressed up in a suit and tie to change your underwear. I remember getting dressed up to:
go to church
go downtown
go to a restaurant
ride a train
fly in a plane
visit relatives
visit pretty much anybody else
go to school (scratch the sport jacket and tie)
Sneakers (we called them that in the good ol' days) were bad for your feet--doctors said so--so you only wore them for athletic events, and you took them off right afterward since they weren't civilized clothing.
But now we don't give a flip. I don't think that it was necessarily due to the lower level of religion in life since we had just as many hypocrites back then as we did now. I guess we just weren't in your face about it, and not as much, "Me first!" about it either.
I'd say that as long as you can produce the original media, plus show that you're not making the files open to anyone outside your domicile, you're scot free.
Now if you don't believe that you need the original media, I think that the *AA will disagree with you there.
The other bad thing is that if you get your files from an artist's website, they'll probably have you by the applicable body parts, which is what I'm personally worried about since I don't have traceable documentation for where I've gotten each and every mp3 that I have. All said artist has to do is to remove the files from their site, and they have a case against you.
Yep, you can believe that when (not if) Time Warner implements metering for everyone that your current monthly fee will remain the same, and they'll charge you extra. Gotta pay for them politicians somehow. And instead of AT&T trying to differentiate by not metering, they'll jump on the bandwagon, too, since you can't let the other guy make more money.
And we'll just continue to sit in this technical backwater we call the most advanced country in the world, waving our flags and screaming God Bless America thinking that it will make everything better.
I had the predecessor to the Wave, or one of them, and while this was not ergonomic, it was solid (and not Microsoft). But unfortunately after a few months, the keys would "stick" if I hit them off-center. That is, I hit a key (usually a modifier key) off-center, and it would not go down without considerably more force. This happens to me a lot with the Dell keyboards, but those are so cheap you can get a new one every few months. Still, this was annoying enough so that I didn't get the Wave and went back to a Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000. Notebook-like key action, though the curve is too little for ergonomic benefit, and too much to just approach it with straight arms.
Well, actually, I have to confess to taking my early-90s era Palm into the bathroom. eReader has a good selection of books. Fits into my pocket, too.
Bathrooms aside, there's nothing like loading about five or six books into the Palm right before going on a trip to visit the in-laws. They just wonder why I'm in the bathroom so much.

Google Earth sees the pirates before they get close. I'm not sure what Google Boat does then, but it may involve ninjas.
Ahem... that would be Google Ninjas(TM).
