It's also a poorly-designed, ugly, and unreliable website. It sends you notifcation e-mails from ever-changing addresses, too, making it almost impossible to whitelist (if you can't whitelist domains).
Someone broke all my windows and took my jumper cables. Another time, someone broke in, attempted to steal the car and failed, and took off with my spare casette adapter.
I now get "want to invest?" spam about 10 times a day in my INBOX. I've clicked "Report as Spam" many times... no improvement. I've also contacted them to complain, and got only an automated response saying there'd be no real response.
At least with FastMail, their spam filter seems to adapt.
Pine has the most convenient seach function I've come across. You may need to enable the aggregate command set, but the search filter that one can then take advantage of is excellent, and you can zoom to an index of only the filtered messages. The keystroke is ";"
Why would I grep?

Gmail vs Pine

Fastmail is fantastic. It's relatively inexpensive, it's fast, it allows me to add e-mail addresses to consider being "me," I can check mail from wherever I want, the spam filters are highly customizable... You really can't find a better provider. And you can try it for free, albeit with bandwidth/storage limitations. You also get a public filespace.
No, I don't work for them, but I'm tired of ISP's offering POP only. If you check your mail from more than one place and can't stand webmail (browsers are slow on older machines, let me use a real program with none of the overhead), Gmail is not an option. I use it, but only to have bills sent to.
I am actually curious what kind of security holes running IE as Administrator opens up. I guess you could severely cripple Administrator IE and then this is not much of a hole (maybe it isn't anyway -- I don't know much about IE vs. Explorer. Lots of people do it everyday though, I suppose.
As for a better workaround, apparently not. On this desktop I have an icon for "Administrative Explorer" and it's just a shortcut to IE running as Admin.
You can run explorer as Administrator. I forget whether I since found a better way, but at the very least you can run iexplore which will get the job done.
Must have been a long time ago. No one over there seems to know what they're doing anymore -- their current favorite thing is calling me back to see if I solved the problem on my own.
I'm not necessarily trying to be rude, but who pays a fucking restocking fee on a computer they didn't order? Man, can I have $600 from you no questions asked? When someone fucks you over, you don't pay -- simple as that. Credit card chargeback or ignore the invoice if sent one.
Also, high res does not mean small -- it's configurable.
Dell's dead pixel policy is completely irrelevant. So there are 3 pixels out and it pisses you off... say "I have 7 pixels out." The service guy comes, never looks at your display, and the service is completed without you ever looking back. I've done this at least 3 times and it has been problem free.
I'm somewhat surprised that no one has mentioned Acela Express in the United States. This train features active tilt, which seems to work very well for them as far as reliability goes. However, they are not allowed to use the tilt for a substantial portion of the trackage in NY State for the very reason you illustrated above: conventional trains that do not tilt are a danger there, and the clearances are not such that that tilt trains can successfully mingle with non-tilt trains.
I don't. You know, I put MEDIA DEVICES in my media bay. How am I supposed to watch a DVD without my drive in there? Why not in the BATTERY tray, something I won't be needing while this device is in.
Which is really something, as someone who loses stuff regularly on mass transit in America. So far, people have taken $3 sunglasses and a pair of leather gloves that I left. Even if it's not worth anything, it's gone.
It clearly says right on the check box (this box will enable sending some data to Google to help improve your search experience, yadda yadda). I also work in the IT department at this organization, so I certainly hope that is clear enough for everyone I work with.
Except for the fact that it doesn't have to be turned on. Mine isn't -- "Enable advanced features" and an explanation about what that means to you is right in the preferences.
The thing I never undersood is that in the other article, it clearly stated that the Supreme Court -- the highest legal authority in the country -- blocked the child porn intiative in the past. Instead the DoJ says fuck precedent and goes on a fishing expedition in an attempt to bring the whole thing back? It's over, it's been decided, move on. This whole thing is just making them look foolish (at least I hope it is -- sometimes America surprises me).
Really? Why don't you point out a policy of Bush's that HAS benefited the United States. I wasn't aware that there was one -- maybe I wasn't paying attention to the news that day?
Slashdot Mirror
Mario Tennis also.
LiveJournal also required an invite for a very long time. No longer, but... it had an established presence as an invite-only site.

I hate when they do this too. That one bit me on the phone once. "Red Hat 4.0? What the fuck? Oh ENTERPRISE... OK."
How about I get to keep my own machine and the other end pays for upgrades while I spend my money on booze? Sounds good to me.
Unless I'm mistaken, you can't select ALL of your e-mail, either. You have to select a screen at a time, and you can't make those screens larger.
Google could really learn a lot from this article.

If she laughs when you're not funny -- that one is huge. Or if she ever utters the phrase "you're so funny" (even if you are).
Think, this device could be used to get basement-dwelling nerds dates -- not just for the autistic crowd!

Japan does that for umbrellas in many train stations.
