No offense taken. I think you're absolutely right.
I do know a bit of java but I've always been intimidated by the nasty java installers so I always fallback to php and web based applications vs java applications.
I must not have the right "Java" as it is telling me it can't lib/tools.jar so I'm going to go grab the latest jdk and see what happens.
For anyone getting the JAVA_HOME environment variable not set, a reminder is that you can set env. vars by right clicking on my computer and going to advanced and then there's an environment vars button.
Seriously I bet you could find some deals on ebay and get a new laptop with a hard drive faster than what you've got. Maybe I'm wrong. I got a vpr matrix 175b4 for $375 missing ac adapter and battery.
It would be nice if you could do what you're trying to do though. Then you could take your OS with you and use any modern computer with your OS and your settings in theory.
I'm just wondering how slowly linux would load up off of usb 1.1?
If you want customer service from them you have to twist and break arms and legs. Even then you have about a 25% chance.
I need to stop going in there. They've screwed me more than once you'd think I would learn my lesson.
The funniest thing was that I bought a compaq notebook from them and the next day I saw they had a sale on VPR Matrix notebooks (best buy exclusive brand). The matrix was a much nicer notebook for the same price so I tried to take the compaq back but I didn't buy the extended warranty so they wouldn't do it.
So I went home and modifed boot.ini to boot off of an invalid partition and changed bios to boot off of floppy and there was no floppy drive. Then I took it back to them for their techies to analyze. "Bad hard drive" was the diagnosis.
They took it back and I ordered my matrix. The funny thing is they lowered the price by $100 on the matrix the next day on bestbuy.com so I managed to twist and turn arms until I got $100 back. They were tired of dealing with me. "Bestbuy.com is not Best Buy the store, blah blah blah" I was like whatever I just want my $100 back. I finally got it. It took some time though.
These notebooks are really nice. I've got two of them. Too bad I'm tied to best buy for any form of parts or support. I don't think I'll buy anything from them again. I've said that before but now it's time to stick to it.
They are too busy chasing me down because I don't have a front license plate.
I've been pulled over twice in the past seven days so I think it's time to finally give in and install a bracket and the plate.
The second officer was very authoritative but seemed respectful enough so I asked him what the purpose of a front plate was and if it was suppossed to make it safer for officers. His response was something like, I have no idea, I think they're silly but the law states you have to have it so you do.
Seemed like a fair enough answer to me.
The problem is though when I call the police because someone has broken into my car or vandalized, etc. The two of three times I've had to do this I am completely blown off. Not that there is a huge success rate at catching the people that do these things but there's going to be a ZERO success rate if no effort is attempted at all.
I would have much rather had the officers there filling out police reports and taking fingerprints when I needed them instead of pulling me over and reminding me that our state requires a front license plate.
That's what I get for living in an area with too low of a crime rate. They make up unecessary legislation so that the police will have something to do during their down time.
I have people claiming to be from my domain sending spam, so if this will stop or slow them down I'm all for it. I published my records a while ago. It hasn't seemed to make any difference, but maybe it is making a difference and I just don't know it.
1. I couldn't keep up and my efforts didn't seem to make much difference.
2. Spamcop got stricter and a simple copy and paste from the outlook express headers stopped working. At the time I was using spamcop I wasn't willing to switch email clients. Now thunderbird is almost up to par with everything I need.
All the people running 200 MHz mail servers are only going to be able to send 10 legitimate emails per day and spammers will hijack more unpatched 3 GHz machines and do distributed computations and send out more spam than ever that gets through because it's passed the computation test.
Limiting free speech is a bad idea. As much as I don't like a lot of the content on the internet, taking away people's rights to say what they want could have harmful side effects.
I mean, what's next, you can't talk about religion? You can't talk about politics? You can't talk about someone elses mother?
Now it looks like after you setup your account you can add an additional identity to that account which is name and email address basically. This works for me since all of my addresses are on the same server, same account (aliases) just different domain names, etc.
But if you had addresses that needed their own account info it's still not ready.
The one feature that's kept me from switching is that it tries to create a new set of folders for every email address. I want all my addresses tied to one set of rules/folders.

So to educate me... Where is tools.jar?
I'm trying to get it to run on windows.
I must not have the right "Java" as it is telling me it can't lib/tools.jar so I'm going to go grab the latest jdk and see what happens.

Going after P2P software seems silly since there are already laws to go after pirates.
P2P is just another medium, no different than someone using http or ftp to transmit copyrighted materials right?
I remember my s3 stock got bought out by somebody a few years ago.
Firefox doesn't have troubles with DHTML...
"Firefox does not render nonstandard DHTML properly, nor does the Mozilla Organization have any intention of releasing a browser that does."
Non-standard DHTML isn't really DHTML is it?

I guess he's before my time. I remember trying to watch episodes while waiting for Red Dwarf but I could never get into them.
Was I just too young at the time? Was the series really that great?
Didn't he time travel in a telephone booth?
I've seen a lot of heavily virus infected and spyware infected PCs but I have never seen a PC that I knew was zombified as a spam sending monster.
Maybe I just didn't know it.
Has anyone seen one? What applications are running on them? It seems like maybe we could mess with the spammers if we knew what they were using.
I have people claiming to be from my domain sending spam, so if this will stop or slow them down I'm all for it. I published my records a while ago. It hasn't seemed to make any difference, but maybe it is making a difference and I just don't know it.

With any of the webmail based services, you can't keep those email addresses if you aren't a subscriber to that service...
I can't have people send mail to: joeblow@hotmail.com if I only subscribe to gmail, etc.
What a mess it would be if the judge had said that the user owns his email address regardless of the provider.
So how long before joeblow@aol.com can become and MSN subscriber and keep his joeblow@aol.com email address without being an aol subscriber?
If everyone already had their own block of ipv6 addresses this wouldn't matter would it?
The data side has an autorun and is loaded with some wma files.
Just grab the audio side like normal.
All the people running 200 MHz mail servers are only going to be able to send 10 legitimate emails per day and spammers will hijack more unpatched 3 GHz machines and do distributed computations and send out more spam than ever that gets through because it's passed the computation test.
Go buy a broken palm pilot off ebay. License requirements fullfilled.
I saw a lot of this while I was in school too and didn't realize it wasn't normal until I got older.
What can be done?

Wouldn't this be a valid solution?

Well they've almost got it.
Now it looks like after you setup your account you can add an additional identity to that account which is name and email address basically. This works for me since all of my addresses are on the same server, same account (aliases) just different domain names, etc.
But if you had addresses that needed their own account info it's still not ready.
It sounds good to me. What's the downfall?
Just a heads up... I installed it and it looks like they've worked this out quite well.
It's behavior in this regard is different that Outlook Express but not in a bad way. I'm still getting used to it, but I think I can make the switch!
The one feature that's kept me from switching is that it tries to create a new set of folders for every email address. I want all my addresses tied to one set of rules/folders.
1. Make holes in OS for virii to infect
2. Make anti-virus software to sell to people using your products.
3. PROFIT!!!
