I've written a set of IMAP, POP, and SMTP extensions which make use of msg-id headers and automatic white/black-lists, much as you've described above. I believe I've thought the various problems through fairly thoroughly and while of course software will have to be written "properly" (i.e. according to standards!) there is a way to "solve" the problem of spam, and by solve, I mean prevent it from being sent to recipients who don't want to receive it.
"Welcomed Correspondence" anti-spam extensions have recently been submitted to the IETF as an Internet-Draft, and are now in the "Active" state there.
The goal of Welcomed Correspondence Extensions is to provide, in the simplest and least intrusive way possible (both programmatically and to the user), a method of avoiding unsolicited and unwanted email without drastically changing the infrastructure of the Internet's existing mail transports. "WCor" (for short) uses a two-phase evolutionary approach in order to maintain compatibility with existing standard POP3/IMAP4 retrieval/delivery servers, SMTP mail transfer agents, and end-user mail clients.
Phase I allows Welcomed Correspondence Extensions functionality over standard SMTP mail transfer agents. This entails a somewhat basic addition of white/blacklist functions by adding "Welcome", "Unwelcome", and "Pending" lists to mail retrieval and delivery servers. These can be POP, IMAP, or other non-standard protocols which interact with SMTP and choose to implement Welcomed Correspondence Extensions. These Welcome, Unwelcome and Pending lists are maintained on the users mail delivery server in order to avoid duplication of "Junk Sender" and blacklists across multiple mail clients. This avoids client synchronization problems and frustrations to the user, and allows migration of users to new mail servers/services by synching lists between old and new servers and alerting Welcome senders.
Phase II extends Welcomed Correspondence white/blacklist functions to the SMTP Mail Transfer servers, allowing for a more automated method of confirming whether a sender is welcome or not, with less user interaction. This is done by allowing interaction between the SMTP server (or mail gateway), and the Welcomed/Unwelcome/Pending lists directly.
All extensions are based on the standard (RFC-defined) methods for adding to the existing protocols, and all documents have been submitted to the IETF for review towards the Standards-track.

My wife is deathly allergic to shellfish... even a drop of oil flicked off a lobster claw cracking open across the table will give her huge hives if it hits her skin.

SiteBar is the most powerful, and yet simple, bookmark manager out there. (I know because I started the project and handed it off to a brilliant programmer!)
It's a bookmark *server*, so you don't have to even be at your own computer to have all your bookmarks organized.
It runs in either your sidebar (beautiful in Firefox), main window, a stand-alone pop-up, your menu, an RSS feed, or embedded in any web page.
It's OSS, written in PHP/MySQL (port it if you'd like) so you can run your own server if you'd like or use one of any number of public SiteBar servers which other people run.
It does link checking, expires old dead links, shows favicons in it's tree, has full users and groups if you want a multi-user setup, and fine granular control over editing/adding/deleting/viewing if you want to run it in your intranet.
You can simply import your current bookmark file (any format!), synch between installs, export to a different bookmark file, or use it from the server itself.
Check it out... let me know what you think mindslip.com>
SiteBar (http://www.sitebar.org ) is by far the most comprehensive bookmark manager out there.
It's meant for a browser's sidebar, and integrates tightly with IE, FireFox (via XPI), Opera, and of course Mozilla.
It also runs in it's own separate window, in the body of the browser, or even as an embedded section of any web page or blog app!
You can display your bookmarks with any of the included plug-ins, which include the standard multi-folder tree, an RSS feed, and a Google/Yahoo-like layout, which is more of what you may be looking for.
It's been designed from the ground, up with both small and large-scale needs in mind. It can handle multiple trees per user, with multiple groups/users per tree, and granular permissions (view/add/edit/delete/moderate) per link/folder. It's fully skinnable, and runs on any PHP/MySQL/Apache setup!
Oh please, please, try patenting this idea! I wrote up such a beast in 1997, going as far as having a working demo burnstation in Visual Basic and ISAPI (or whatever the old pre-CGI Windows thing was called...)
It's archived in comments on slashdot (search for it... I'm being lazy!) and I've even received email years later (last year, actually) from someone who saw my idea posted somewhere and wanted some details.
This isn't new... it's certainly not "Starbucks The Innovator", but hey, if someone's letting them have the media without giving them hassles over royalties, etc. then more power to them.
I just wish I knew more people with VC / Angel money so I could *implement* all these years-ahead ideas before everyone else does!
I've found myself quite happy with Gallery ( gallery.sourceforge.net ) for this sort of thing. It's got a java applet that lets you upload pictures, or you could upload via standard html. Thus, take your photos, fill your card, find an internet cafe or a friendly stranger, upload the photos, and repeat.
Gallery auto-thumbnails so you don't have to worry about mass conversions, although it may take a bit of time if you do want to preserve the photo's quality by uploading the full size image.
For what it's worth, I'm archiving all my old slides and have found that a 4000-dpi 8-bit scan (Nikon Coolscan V ED scanner) saved as a 90%-quality JPEG yields about a 20mb image for a full slide frame (about 19 megapixels) which I can print at a mini-lab using a proper Fuji film developer machine at 8" x 12" without any noticable grain or loss of quality. Keep this in mind when you're saving pictures that you know you'd want to frame later.
I've got other pictures scanned at 1500x1024 (1.5 megapixels) which are great for full-screen viewing. These work out to just under a meg per image. I've printed them up to 7x9 on an Epson R300 inkjet with proper photo paper and ink. You can *just* tell they're printed "at home", but they're certainly useable.
So to sum up, I'd leave a web server running with someone technical who you can trust to maintain it, lots of disk space, a few extra flash cards, and just do mass uploads when you can.

Go to an old books store, and you're nearly guaranteed to find a book by Canon or Nikon on "intro to photography". I prefer Canon, since that's what I shoot with (a 1970's AE1-Program, usually set to all-manual) but either are good.
Look for a 9x12 hardcover "Time-Life series" style book, about half an inch thick. Flip through a few of what you find, but the 70's Canon and Nikon intros are the absolute best I've ever seen (for beginners).
Get a really nice cast iron frying pan (or for eggs and pancakes, a flat griddle.
Pour a handful of table salt and a tablespoon of olive oil into it. Heat it up until it's hot but not quite frying. Take it off the heat.
Grab a few pieces of paper towel, and fold over a few times until you have a nice thick paper towel pad.
Sand the heck out of the frying pan's surface with the hot oil/salt mixture.
Rinse well, and immediately put back on the heat to evaporate the remaining water (to prevent the pan rusting). By the way, *never* wash an iron pan unless you do it this way. You'll rust it out.
Voila. You've got a *much* healthier, and *much* smoother surface than a teflon pan, and it can take all the abuse you can hurl at it.
Right. Encrypted redbook audio. I don't recall my cd player(s) having a Clipper chip folks! Hardly even much of a CPU. More like a PIC controller, I think.
So the reality of this is...
It's a CD that can only hold maybe 3/4 the amount of music CD's were designed to hold, and anything you want to snatch from the SPDIF jack on the back of your CD player can happily be recorded to... oh, say another CD (digitally, with all the original bits intact save for jitter), or Minidisc, or MP3 player, or whatever.
And when you play it on your PC, you can hold down the Shift key as you close the CD drawer to prevent Windows' Autoplay feature... Oh, wait, that is *if* you use Windows,...from installing some what... new CD ROM-drive drivers? How exactly does this stop you from reading the audio tracks?
Now, more importantly. Labelling. Am I being *told* that I'm buying a CD that breaks my "God given right to steal music?"... sorry, I mean, "use the media I purchased in any way I wish for my personal use"? (What makes you think I'm an Amerikan, folks? Different rules here, thanks.)
Right.... Another half-assed attempt. If the music industry wanted to put some *real* effort in this, they'd simply work encryption (better than CSS!) into SACD's, and Sony would flood the market with cheap SACD players and re-release their whole catalogue on SACD, then stop pressing CDs.
Or, of course, they could price CDs reasonably so we'd go out and buy shitloads more, regardless of the fact that there's only one track half-worth listening to amongst all the made-for-radio/lowest-common-denominator garbage.
I always love this rule... especially as I'm a sadomasochist, so doing unto others as I would have done unto me usually involves whips and pain. Oh, and I *love* being tickled until I pee. And all my friends, they're such neurotic self-descructive whiners, they actually feel more cared for when people are giving them shit and yelling at them.
Who invented that stupid "golden rule"? It's about the worst way you could possibly treat someone.
How about doing unto others AS THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE DONE UNTO THEM?
Never mind doing to them what *you* want! Selfish bastard!

The Asus board is held on with a couple of screws, it's about 1.5 sq. inch. with a tiny MMCX connector on one corner, on the underside when assembled.
The board pops off with a nice zero-force style connector (is that the right name?) but it's actually irrelevant. You don't need to touch it.
The antenna itself is simply a wire which goes up the right back side (when looking at the back of the unit), and across the width of the top of the unit. It's held in place with a couple of plastic clips at various points, moulded into the casing.
You can easily take the unit's back off by separating the halves of the case with a strong fingernail... don't use anything stiffer than that or you risk damaging the case. One side will pop open easy (there are clips at about 1/4 and 3/4 down the sides) and the other side will seem to refuse to come apart. Just gently bend open the halves like a clamshell, at about 45 degrees, it'll come apart.
The black top strip is held in with a couple of plastic bumps that snap into matching holes. Again, one side comes away easy. Angle the black bit as if you were flipping it up from the unit (from left to right). When you get resistance on the other side, angle it down, from front to back. Do the reverse to get it back on.
You'll see the wire held in place by the plastic mouldings. It's sort of wrapped oddly around the headphone jack. This is to keep it out of the way, and might be a pain when re-assembling.
The long and the short of it is that the wire just... ends. Make a nice hole in the infrared filter, crimp on an MMCX connector (google for that, or try www.jameco.com), and perhaps some good epoxy.
Tada! External antenna connector for your Tungsten! God knows why they didn't put it in there at the factory.
First question: Is it blatently, "offensively", openly, in-your-face visible? Does it scream "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!"? Will it say to the boardroom "I shouldn't be here... I don't take anything seriously... please latch a dog leash to this ring in my nose and connect it up to my eyebrow while you're at it"?...does it go with an Armani suit? =-)

The Asus board is held on with a couple of screws, it's about 1.5 sq. inch. with a tiny MMCX connector on one corner, on the underside when assembled.
The board pops off with a nice zero-force style connector (is that the right name?) but it's actually irrelevant. You don't need to touch it.
The antenna itself is simply a wire which goes up the right back side (when looking at the back of the unit), and across the width of the top of the unit. It's held in place with a couple of plastic clips at various points, moulded into the casing.
