they do find out all about my web browsing habits and what I buy.... then they'll know I don't buy much of anything, and read Slashdot regularly.... maybe I'll get a bunch of Slashdot ads while I'm browsing the net rather than the other useless shit I already get advertised to me.
I like your idea... and it would cut down on the programs running n my system.
Right now, I pass everything through SpamPal, have a white list maintained in there, and have it setup so Firefox follows Spamassassins recommendations. (since SpamPal sets a Spamassassin header)
It usually works pretty good... but once in awhile something oges into junk that shouldn't.
The other reply is correct. I have a hard enough getting customers to E-Mail rather than fax updates to me (which saves a lot of time). I imagine if I bounced their messages, it wouldn't be good marks for Customer service.
As for the graphical calendar thing... it's just a novelty idea. Probably more of something to do in Sunbird or a CRM package with integrated E-Mail.
Exactly! I want to be able to look at me Inbox, and rather than seeing a bunch of "Website" or "Web Updates" E-Mails, I want to be able to change the subject so it would say "Web Updates for Bob" or "New Website for Jane" or something along those lines.
Tags are nice, but creating tags for hundreds of people is VERY tedious. If it wasn't such a task, I could create folders and message filters to organize the messages, but that still wouldn't handle them all, and I wouldn't be able to see where the messages came in because the folder view can't fit hundreds of folders.
I'm a web developer... and maintain hundreds of sites.
So, if you can imagine... even with asking people to at least let me know what site is theirs, I have hundreds of messages with the Subject "Web Update" or "Website"
I would simply like the ability to edit the subject line of messages I receive for organizational purposes.
That would be the "Killer" feature for me...
Another novelty feature that could be useful is a Calendar view of messages, so I could graphically see when each message arrived and prioritize it appropriately.
And I think it's pretty reasonable to call google a monopoly or nearly a monopoly.
By your own definition, (complete or near-complete ownership of a market) I think it's unreasonable to call Google a Monopoly.
Perhaps while your flipping through your dictionary, you should look up Tunnel Vision... There are other companies out there with a significant part of the market share.
I call bullshit. A monopoly is a company that uses it's status to push competitors out of business.
Google is not a monopoly, plain and simple... it is more like a trend. For now, they are at the top of the market. In the past, Yahoo, Webcrawler, and Altavista have all held the same position. At any given point, this can change.
Google has every right to treat their customers like shit, and likewise, their customers have every right to get their product elsewhere. There are other search engines out there, and you are more than welcome to use them. Personally, I use a variety of search engines depending on what I am looking for.
I wish people would get their basic facts correct before spouting off. At this point there are no monopolies in the Search engine business, it is a completely free and very competitive market. Instead of pointing your finger and crying monopoly just because you don't like what your preferred product does, be a consumer... switch products.
Novell, who made it a point to clearly prove that they still owned UNIX (part of the whole SCO thingie) has sold the alleged IP to Microsoft with a clause that Microsoft can't sue Novell or their customers about it.
So, in short.... maybe it is SCO all over again...
OTOH... maybe it's Novell pulling a prank on our favorite jokesters in Redmond... selling the alleged IP because MS wants it, but being fully aware that said IP is not in Linux.... In turn, now that the IP was sold to Microsoft for some other product that Novell still owns, they now had to pay a license fee for the IP to Microsoft... it all gets twisted together all over the place, but it might make sense.
MS: Do you have the code SCO was suing about Novell: Yes MS: How much you want for that? Novell: We can't sell it...we still use it in other products MS: We'll buy it, and promise not to sue you for using it. Novell: OK, but we need big bucks. MS: Yay... now we can sue Linux users
(MS Departs and heads back to their corner in hell)
Novell: (joking amongst themselves) Ha ha, that code isn't even in Linux, so even if they do sue about it, it's no problem.
I use a spreadsheet sort of laid out like a check register with a few extra columns to reconcile with.
I use it on Excel under Crossover, but I assume it can be done with KSpread, OO.o, Gnumeric, Google spreadsheet, or even VisiCalc... as long as it supports some simple formulas.
| A | B | C | D | E | F | G 0 | Description | Debit | Credit | Running Balance | Bank | Outstanding | Paid Out 1 | Deposit | | 300 | =(C1) | | | 2 | GAS | 30 | | =(D1 - B2 + C2) | | =if(E2="X",0,B2)| =if(E2="X",B2,0)
So now you just paste your formulas down the columns.. then all you have to do is fill in your transactions.
When they show up on your bank statement, or in your electronic banking, put an X in column E, and the Outstanding value moves to Column G.
Who needs specialty accounting software when one of the oldest apps around can do it just fine?
It's because people keep bitching about how unhealthy red meat is.
What happened to the days when a guy could fix his car in his garage, build something in the basement, then eat a nice big juicy steak with a potato for dinner, then go watch the news about a war?
This war on terror isn't a real war, there's no good healthy warmongering in it...it's all about "protect the children" rather than my bombs are bigger and faster than yours.
We need to stop stomping out countries on the verge of becoming competitive world powers. We need another cold war, where men can be paranoid until they're real men.
We also need a new generation of muscle cars, and more lumber yards cropping up, these "home centers" make me want to puke.
In the infamous words of George Carlin, later repeated by Denis Leary and others (which I will poorly misquote)... A man needs to sit home eating red meat and watching the war on TV!
Real men drink Pabst blue Ribbon beer, and punch holes in the wall to prod their ego.... and thats what a real man is... Flesh, Blood, Muscle and ego!
Slashdot Mirror
He should hire Steve Jobs, that way when things aren't going our way in China he can just sit there and bitch at them personally until they are.
He could also get all of the other Cabinet members to dress in a classy manner, and use Macs.

JP Morgan Chase?

Looks like they use Apache 2.0.55
Bank Of America, HSBC, and my own bank all seem to use Sun-ONE-Web-Server/6.1
From what I've seen by typing Bank into Google, and Clicking on links... it looks like Sun-ONE is the most popular. I didn't see any IIS....
So send swingers...solve all the problems at once.
Perhaps we need Megamaid
Am I the only one who glanced at that and saw
"Ms. Monthly Patch" and thought "She's on the rag again?"
....and I can't wait for the headaches I'm going to suffer when people start trying to fax me electronic paper documents at work.
Ok, this is in Bugzilla now ... https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36457 9
If you have any ideas, comments, etc...add 'em.
I see other similar requests marked as dupes, but maybe if enough convincing is done?

Thats what In was looking for...saw it a few weeks ago, but the other is on the main page...
On windows, I use dev-php... on Linux, I use Kate.
Now it just needs bluetooth so I can add one of These
Maybe it's been my fault it's taken so long to "discover"
I've been seeing 'em now and then and contacting the hosts where the scripts are hosted to get their accounts disabled.
I'm not worried about being phished myself... I'm quite perceptive...but it's people I know who I'm worried about.
It's because people keep bitching about how unhealthy red meat is.
