Nah, HTML mail was well and truely endemic by then (the ISP I worked for was even spamming our users with it every week).
That said, how much of an impact does that have anyway? Worst case, there's an HTML copy and a plain text copy in the same email, so... ~2.5 times the original size? That's not all that much of an imposition.
Attachments might be more of a concern, but even today, the default maximum message size of Postfix is still only 10Mb. I daresay most servers on the internet are still running with their defaults, so most people should assume (and be educated to assume) that if they send anything big, it's going to bounce.
Only 70000 accounts? That's not a big system at all. I was running systems with over million email accounts ten years ago, and by today's standards even those would be considered small.
What kind of dystopian hell-hole do you live in where you can be jailed for having traces of drug metabolites in your system? Even Iran isn't *that* bad...
To paraphrase Douglas Adams, 10/10 for a nice catchphrase, minus several zillion for failiing to address any of my points. Seriously, you people have got to get away from this idiotic religion that anyone can be successful as long as they work their arse off for it. It's just not true, and it's destroying society.
Bullshit. It's just luck. There's plenty of people who could work the same 6am to 2am hours, get absolutely no-where and then die from exhaustion, wishing they'd spent more time enjoying their lives instead of slaving it away. They could even do exactly the same thing you're doing, but in a different place and time, and could have completely different results.
I wish you well with your business, but if you're successful, it will all be down to blind luck, being in the right place at the right time and knowing the right people, and not the hours you put in.
Well, if I was losing money on international routes, you know what I wouldn't do? Cancel a perfectly good, popular direct route from Sydney to San Francisco and replace it with a flight to Dallas that no-one wants, and is such a long distance that the airline has to stop in Brisbane on the way back, has to leave luggage behind to reduce weight, and once had to divert to Fiji because of fog in Brisbane.
Whoever came up with this shambles of a plan should be dropped from an aircraft mid-ocean. Dropping the SF route is just ridiculous - I'd pay a premium to be able to fly in directly to SF, rather than have to deal with the shithole that is LAX.
No, he doesn't mean tethering. Android phones can already do tethering.
What they can't do - and Android is very notorious for this - is use a web proxy over their wifi connections. It's a bug that annoys many Android users, but Google is either refusing to fix, or just plain ignoring.
Why would a billionaire stand in line all night long to get a cellphone that his company sells?
Why would anyone do this at all, for that matter? I really don't understand the mindset of people that can't wait a few days or even weeks for this. I presume they have nothing better to do with their time (hey, I have nothing better to do with my time than post to Slashdot at the moment, and even I wouldn't queue up outside overnight for anything)
...furthermore: don't leave your email on the server, use an ISP in a country that isn't hung up on trifling matters such as these and preferably an ISP that isn't organised enough to keep a copy of every email that goes in or out; use a VM, they're unlikely to archive the entire TCP stream going in and out of it.
If I remember correctly, you can't get an anonymous pre-paid card in France - you need to provide a passport or other ID when you buy it.
And that said - France's prepaid plans are utterly shite. Possibly the worst in Europe. The only card that is even vaguely worth the money is one from Orange, and they have very onerous conditions attached, including blocking SMTP/POP and disallowing tethering - with the possibility that they'll null all your credit if they catch you doing it (not sure how they can tell, though).
It probably also apply to all content, not just content specifically in Italian. In which case the entirety of Wikipedia is threatened - assuming, of course, that anyone really gives a bugger about what some half-arsed country puts into law.
I'd say just move the servers offshore, and don't log the IP addresses of anyone who edits content.

fwiw, written Australian English really isn't any different to British English.

I'd say Firefox's biggest problem is that it's bloated. Chrom{e|ium} is considerably faster.

...that Banshee was made a default? ffs, make up your mind, Ubuntu people.

Given that the Neonode N1M is likely to be considered prior art, how would one go about getting the patent ruled invalid?
Yes, because Iowa is the perfect model to represent the entire world.
Such a contradiction in terms. Christianity is not democratic. When was the last time God ran for election?
He doesn't mean tethering. He means accessing an HTTP proxy over wifi. Which Android, ridiculously, can't do.

Umm... no. Anyone with any sense knows they can buy electronic items cheaper from overseas and have them shipped in.
As for food ... it's almost always cheaper to buy fresh food from local markets than it is to buy it from the supermarkets.
So it's cheaper to get them from Europe than from the US? That's a surprise.
...Australian shops are so overpriced that it's getting to the point where they're not going to have any customers to track.

No, licence is perfectly correct.
No, because it does what I want, and it doesn't cover up the entire screen when I want to launch a new application.
I tried the Metro thing in Win8. I can't see any reason why anyone would want to use that.
