For example, people who like Moxy Fruvous also like: They Might Be Giants, Guster, BNL, Great Big Sea, The Beatles, Ben Folds (Five), Arrogant Worms, Eddie From Ohio, The Nields, and more.
Of course, that's a lot of work...
You could also check out sites like Diaryland.com or Livejournal.com. Look at music people like, and see what else they like. Livejournal has "interests" with which you can search for people.
It's not exactly automated, but, with some luck, you might be able to find a few different things.
Yes, but it's a little hard to find them, about... let's say... 70 years after their death. You really have to do some digging to find the owners of some really obscure things.
Out of the millions of creations each year, only a very tiny number are commercial suggestions. Each year, films that would have entered the public domain deteriorate, books disappear, and the legacy of Sonny Bono slaps a 20 year moratorium on things like Project Guteberg.
If you like the cartoons in the article, you can go read the strip that was written and drawn by the same pair, Doug Sheppard and Katrin L. Salyers, you can go to WaitingForBob.com.

I use Popfile, and that does a really good job of helping me filter my e-mail.
So far, 208 e-mails processed, only 4 e-mails were mis-classified, only one spam was filed in the wrong bucket. 0 of the errors in classification marked a legitimate e-mail as a spam.
And that's only because I created a bunch of buckets. People using a 2 or 3 bucket approach are reporting higher rates of accuracy.
There really isn't any other way for the Mozilla team to let there mass audience "or shall we say...testers" know that they found a bug and that it will be patched soon?
There is. We call it Bugzilla. Every time someone submits a comment on a bug I've submitted, I get an e-mail. This usually involves either someone elaborating on my submitted bug, or marking it a duplicate (it happens!), or discussion from the Mozilla development team on the bug, or even just a re-assignment of the person responsible for the bug.
Services like TTY and phone relays have long since been made redundant by the advent of universally available and reasonably inexpensive e-mail. But taxpayers still spend hundreds of millions a year subsidizing these obsolete services.
May you never go deaf then. May you never buy a product that breaks and have to call a phone number for customer services. May you never have to call an emergency services number. May you never have to call the pizza place to order a pizza.
The differnce between e-mail and TTY is the difference between push and pull technology. With e-mail, there's no guarantee that your e-mail is ever received, much less opened, read and processed.
Because of this, e-mail cannot (and does not!) qualify under the ADA soley as a reasonable accomodation.
I've worked as a secretary (in a school for the deaf, no less.) I know e-mails can take a long time to get delivered. There's still time between when it gets delivered and when it actually got read and processed by me. (Usually not long, but on some crazy hectic days, it could take some time.)
I hate feeding the trolls, but this one needed to be thwacked over the head.
There actually used to be laws against it. IIRC, correctly, the only thing needed in NYS is to have a larger rear-view mirror now, and I'm not even certain if that is a requirement.
We have tools like Sprint Relay On-Line that will do text-to-speech... and every state provides confidential relay services to begin with. Many states are moving towards making 711 a standard relay number.
If a deaf person wanted a "cell phone", they'll probably have one from Wynd Communications, a two-way pager with text/e-mail and other services built right into the damn thing. They're all the rage here. Screw lip reading over the phone. This technology is pure eye-candy. Nice, but how useful will it really be?
"but Coca-Cola had a great deal to do with establishing Santa Claus as a ubiquitous Christmas figure in America at a time when the holiday was still making the transition from a religious observance to a largely secular and highly commercial celebration."
Exactly. Look at what Disney has cranked out in the past... Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and so many more titles that were based on ideas in the public domain. Now I'd like to see someone put on a production of a show called "Beauty and the Beast", and not get their asses sued off by Disney.
Even Hollywood is getting pissed off about the whole copyright scene. Writers are running out of things to write about. Movie ideas are so expensive because everything has been done already. That's why we're getting re-hashes like Oceans 11 (1960, 2001), and the James Bond franchise.
In another example, I know that greeting card company hired out a friend of mine to come in for a Santa Claus photo shoot. Why? Because the image we most associate with Santa Claus is owned by Coke, and they needed to have a new model to base illustrations on to meet the "original work" standard in the copyright clause to avoid lawsuits. (Or repel them if Coke would sue anyway).
It's our culture that we're pissing away when we let copyright get extended too far.
Perhaps/. editors have become as bad as patent examiners in checking prior art?
But, seriously, I was talking with a friend of mine who worked as a patent examiner last year... he was surprised that I knew quite a bit about how the patent systems worked ('cause I read/.), and then told me about just how understaffed they really are to do the job they're supposed to do.

For the address book, you can export an LDIF file from inside Mozillas' Address Book. Then, the LDIF file can be imported straight into Evolution.
As for the mail, they're in standard mbox files. You can move/copy these to the default mail directory, and they should appear as local folders within Evolution.
Agreed. Something changed between the 1.1 and 1.2 versions that prevents old skins from being used. I tried to use the Pinball skin when 1.2 alpha came out. It worked fine, except taht I couldn't open up the mail window some of the time on some of the platforms.
I wish I knew what changed between 1.1 and 1.2 on the interface... I'd try and go fix it myself.

"I can't do that, Dave. You've had too many tonight."
Do as some creative Fruheads have done. Create a website for your favorite bands fans.
Then, create a section for recommending music.
For example, people who like Moxy Fruvous also like:
They Might Be Giants, Guster, BNL, Great Big Sea, The Beatles, Ben Folds (Five), Arrogant Worms, Eddie From Ohio, The Nields, and more.

It has interviews with members of Jackass among other things. It's not just music, but all forms of entertainment that you won't find on MTV
I thought Jackass was on MTV?
Maybe I'm just seeing the contradiction of your statement...
"It's got lots of trees, but you wouldn't find trees in a forest."

I think the list is for cases completed through the court system. If it wasn't, I'm sure we would have seen PanIP, and Scientology vs. Google, Internet Archive, and other assorted Scientology vs. The Internet threats.
Remember, it's not 'I got laid off', it's 'I got time off to get laid.'
Happy holidays!
hmm... this post will make my signature look even more funny in context...

No! Scientology would never doctor photos to make people appear that really weren't there!
