That's just one of the luxuries that's going to have to go away. In the future you either use authenticated SMTP or stop faking your email address (and it *is* faked if you're not sending it from the correct server).
Just like years ago open relays were everywhere, and everyone just used a convenient SMTP server to send email. Things change. Get used to it.
Hmm looks hand drawn... Presumably they've done their best to give a representation and make it look pretty, but it just ends up looking like an artists impression, and we have lots of those already:)
Actually Star Trek has always been a mirror of our own lives... The original series was locked in a battle with the Klingons (=Communists), in TNG we'd made friends with them (We're friends with the russians now!) but we had other enemies (=The middle east).
In Enterprise everyone is seemingly at peace then a large terrorist act devastates earth.... See the parallels?
I doubt it applies to WAP - they're talking about the current/next generation of HTML browsing phones - the 3G stuff is (theoretically)* as fast as a broadband connection.
* I say theoretically because if it goes anything like GPRS you'll be lucky to get 1K/s on a good day.
In that it relates to TSO - EA *were* warned by numerous people what would happen right at the start - it had already started happening (the first mafia was formed before it came out of beta, and several houses had been trashed by them at that point).
I object to 12 year olds becoming prostitutes. Even virtual ones. That that's still going on proves that the controls that EA claimed they had have utterly failed.
I suspect the reason TSO never launched it Europe (still not available AFAIK 18 months after it was due to launch) was it would have an 18 certificate... no market as most players of this kind of game are in their teens.
Oh god no... Windows 'simplicity' means they moved the 'change password' on XP from Control Panel/User management to Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management/Local Users and Groups/Users and if that wasn't enough the hid it behind a right click.
Since changing your password is one of the first things you do I'd like to find a newbie who can find that one first time.
As a Brit I find the Office as dull as dishwater. I watched an episode and didn't see any humour once.
OTOH Dilbert regularly still has me laughing out loud...
I guess it depends on what kind of office you work in - ours has just been taken over by Americans so all the buzzword/cubicle jokes I didn't get before are starting to make sense.
The 'average' person probably doesn't have a PC, or if they do, they don't have a wizzy photo quality printer.. probably some crummy bubbljet that says it does photos whilst producing grainy bits of paper dripping with ink and mostly black.
Sure, you can get your camera 'printed' (the ones around here require the whole camera for a couple of days, plus you have to purchase a special 'kodak CD' at approx. 20UKP per print - perhaps the US is more advanced), but it's nowhere near the simplicity of 'drop film in envelope, post envelope'.
It's OK for geeks, but I can't see the average person taking to it until a lot of the glitches are ironed out (and the price is comparable with standard prints).
It'd better bl$$dy well not be a 32bit integer otherwise DNS is screwed in 2038...
Luckily I know it isn't. Unfortunately I suspect the verisign way will break stuff unless they're careful eg.
Today is:
2004011001 in DNS time 1073760813 in Unix time
DNS time > Unix time... a lot of DNS systems (bind does this for example) will take the record with the largest number - there's scope for masses of confusion here.
Indeed... we run solely on Windows but used to do a fair amount of work every time Sun brought out a new JVM, simply because things changed each revision and more stuff broke as they were fixing the bugs from the last one.
That stopped when we found a showstopper bug in Java 1.4 (doesn't work through proxies - acknowledged by Sun *over a year ago* and still not fixed) so had to go back to Java 1.2 and are sticking there until the c# rewrites are finished.
Nope.... Who would want to even go on holiday to a country that acted on the assumpion that you are a terrorist before your plane lands? And when it does you have to had in your fingerprints and personal details or it's straight to guatanamo bay, do not pass go, do no collect $200.

SPF is based on the envelope sender not the From address - I suggest you read the FAQ first.
Yes, you have to change the envelope on each hop, but that's a good thing, as it means that each hop is validated which makes it harder to spam.

The free QT project (Horizon, or something beginning with H anyway) was killed the moment QT became GPL... well a couple of days later.
At the time there was so much Pro/Anti Gnome stuff going around neither project would have terminated voluntarily.

No.
Yes, there's cyber sex over chat.
Everyone else in the house can see what you're saying though...
Hmm 20,000 total users after 18 months of play.
I think that people *did* cancel the game... (TBH I suspect they got sick of 'Make Gnome Sell Gnome' rather than EA itself).

Not really, just force it to go full speed when it hits the end of the line... straight into a crowded station, probably in a major city.
Why would NASA need this data? Looking for volunteers to send to Mars or something?
I could more easily believe a typo...
There's no 'User Accounts' option on any XP I've used... Presumably you're using a special one.

It was supposed to look a bit tacky - that's the whole point.... to quote Arthur "It's a bit squalid isn't it?"
The book graphics were pretty good for the time - there's loads of detail in there you miss unless you watch sections of it in slow motion.

I've seen some nutty sites in my time but that takes the biscuit! Really funny...
No, they've just created a load.
"They've altered the images. That *proves* that this is just being broadcast from some desert backlot in New Mexico."
So spammers can find out that my domain is using a filter that'll very likely dump their spam anyway...
And this is a problem how????
The article is just untrue... this is slashdot... if you want journalism go read CNN :)
I think it was a joke, but the mods made it 'insightful' because the irony completely missed them.
Gotta love slashdot.

No way. I'll stay in the free world thanks.
