  1. Re:Size of headers? on Free IMAP On Gmail · · Score: 1

    :) Hope it makes your life as much easier as it has mine. The only problems I've had after getting it to go on my Mac is the LDAP function, but since the need for that function isn't as critical for me as the calendar things (I have 3 online and used to have 2 additional unsyncable calendars in my iCal). One interesting feature is the RSS-to-calendar-post function.
    Simply put: http://localhost:9090/%5Bentire-RSS-URL-minus-HTTP://%5D (without the brackets).
    Come payday, I'll fire up my old Paypal account, just for them ;)

    Sounds like Cybercity just upgraded in your area (they are, AFAIK, the only ones doing the free upgrades, yes?)

    My connection costs... just shy of 500 dkk/month for 20/20. That's around 100$. Granted, I opted for 10/10 at half that price, because I honestly don't need 20/20 - and that's even though my boss is paying my ISP fees (and he would gladly up it if I asked him)

    (Før du spørger: Det er gennem min boligforening :) - men ikke lige så rart som min kammerats 60/20 til 150kr/md)

    Like anyone would hand the answers to an 8-year old. That game is ancient.

    Apart from that, yes I am. That is not to say I don't pay for quality stuff, I just want to be sure before I pay. Some would say that buying 2 games/month when I play less than 5 hrs/wk is excessive. Esp. when close to half that time is Guitar Hero against the missus.

    YMMV, but GCALDaemon will set you up, The guides were all made before they made a GUI configurator (GCALDaemon/bin/config-editor.sh), which makes it so easy it ought to be a crime. HTH :)

    People seem to be misinterpreting what this is about, partially due to the vague nature of the summary. They aren't talking about those 'enter your birthdate to enter' gateways to porn sites; this is about websites being required to have verification that all actors involved are, in fact, of legal age. That is, effectively, the complete opposite of what TFS had me believing. I thought it was the patrons.
    Thank you for clearing that up.

  11. Re:How do I remove vista from a brand new laptop? on Driver Update Can Cause Vista Deactivation · · Score: 1

    just bought the bastard for my grandma and it WILL NOT remove vista no matter how hard I try. When I boot off the Windows XP CD it says 'cannot detect hard drive'.. How can I remove vista!??!?! is it even possible? Its like AIDS from an unwashed hooked. In all likelihood it is because the drive is on an unsupported bus, e.g. SATA. Usually the manufacturer supplies a program for making a driver floppy. If the computer does not have a floppy drive, you could make a slipstreamed CD (e.g. with nlite). That way, you can also add on service packs, hotfixes, and add the reg key and make the install completely unattended. nlite FTW. (Note: If you choose to use nlite, don't mess with settings you're not sure about, like removing built-in drivers, messing with services, stuff like that).

    HTH.
  12. Re:"Postponing..." on Comcast Admits Delaying, Not Blocking, P2P Traffic · · Score: 1

    That's because when you "retransmit" a package, it's not the exact same package - it's a new package, really.

    What we really should be worried about is why 'retransmitting' packages is so grossly mislabeled? Comcast clearly isn't at fault here. Who will think of the children?

    It's just the sticker price. Then they hit you with the optional features like power steering and oxygen. Not to mention insurance.

  14. Re:Finally! on Radiohead May Have Made $6-$10 Million on Name-Your Cost Album · · Score: 1

    True, Radiohead doesn't need to promote itself in the same way a smaller band/artist does to make money but this shows what can be done.

    Imagine if half a dozen well-known bands/artists created a new music site where any music artist could join. Sell MP3s at a very low price and have a physical product at a reasonable cost where all the profit goes to the artists (less a small admin fee to help run the site).
    Allow users to rate/review songs and albums. Sounds a smidgeon like Magnatune.

    I'm planning to buy both the OS and iLife in one go (save a few bucks on shipping, because I'm a tightwad), so until the OS is released, I'm... borrowing a very publicized serial number. The only consequence? They made Software Update blind to updates to iLife '08. That's it.

    Well, all I know off.
