Picassa is useful, but the biggest problem I found with it was that it didn't handle colour management properly, so if you have a wide gamut monitor, picture colours tend to come out somewhat 'funky', especially reds.
Lightroom 2 noise reduction pretty much useless, BUT, the new Lightroom 3 is way better, so much better that I purchased it earlier this week. If you haven't used v.3, I'd suggest you give it a try.
This is the same paper which after 911 was advocating bombing ISP's with cruise missiles if they did not prevent encrypted messages from passing through their systems. NO - I am not making this up! I am suprised anyone pays money to listen to the drivel they publish.
The Daily Telegraph is calling for the bombing of "uncompliant" ISPs "on foreign territory", in response to the atrocity in America.
In an opinion piece, John Keegan, the newspaper's eminent defence correspondent, blames the Internet for facilitating the attacks.
"The World Trade Centre outrage was co-ordinated on the internet, without question," he writes. "If Washington is serious in its determination to eliminate terrorism, it will have to forbid internet providers to allow the transmission of encrypted messages - now encoded by public key ciphers that are unbreakable even by the National Security Agency's computers - and close down any provider that refuses to comply.
"Uncompliant providers on foreign territory should expect their buildings to be destroyed by cruise missiles. Once the internet is implicated in the killing of Americans, its high-rolling days may be reckoned to be over."
Those comparisons don't tell you the full story. Ie, in most of the EU you get free healthcare, in the US you have to pay for it. So whilst country A might be "lower taxed" than country B, it doesn't mean you will be better off financially in country A.
Penile matter, the cause of the problems is Israel moving civilians & infrastructure on land conquered during wars. And the two huge jails known as the West Bank and Gaza.
He refers to one (Finnish) of the four UN peacekeepers which were bombed (some say deliberately) by the Israelis a couple of days ago. Search your favourite news site for the full details.
Looking at my monthly pay slip, Gross/Net = 0.66, so I'd say it's about 33%. This would go up if I earnt approx. > £32K, where the 40% tax band kicks in. But there are many other items which are highly taxed; tobacco, alcohol, petrol. Not to mention exhorbitant house prices, rental prices, local council tax, energy (cooking/heating gas, electricity, both up 25% over the past 2 years)... So the salary tax figure on it's own isn't really a good indicator of how much one gets taxed in this country, or how expensive (London especially) it is.
> Revoke the key, assuming you're using PGP. Then nobody gets into the files.
Revoking your key doesn't stop you or anyone else getting access to your files, it just sets a flag which implementations then refuse to encrypt to that key. In other words, other people can't encrypt to that key anymore. You can still decrypt files encrypted to that key though.
In my days of flogging epson kit, the technological advantage we used to stress to the customer was that Epson printers used their own patented technology (piezo electric), whilst all the rest used HP's/Canon's "bubblejet" technology. This was an advantage as anyone who'se seen Epson colour printouts will tell you, but I am wondering if anyone knows whether Brother have licenced this or have they developed something else which doesn't infringe on Epson patents...

Thank god most mail clients now have an option to not load remote images, and OE will also get that in WinXP SP2. That is what I call an invasion of privacy!
I've been trying to get ANY message that has a link to ANY site on voila.fr blocked by my ISP (BT Internet via Yahoo) but absolutely no luck.
They probably don't have a technical solution to implement this on a per-user basis.
As far as I'm concerned (given the amount of spams from ADSL users and the inability of major ISP to block obvious SPAM) major ISPs don't give a damn about SPAM.
I agree, I still don't know why they don't block all incoming port 25 traffic, and enable this only after the end user signs a contract saying he is technically capable of implementing and maintaining an SMTP server.
But then again, we probably need an update to the SMTP protocol.
Britain was in control of Palestine at the time, The Arabs wanted no Jewish state and The Isrealis wanted no Palestine. Britain got frustrated with the matter and passed on responsibility to the UN. Israel eventually invaded Lebanon with the objective of "eliminating the PLO", while most Palestinians were displaced to Jordan and neighbouring states and some stayed.
Hard right Jews started settlements in places where the palestinians had left and continued to do so, in flagrant violation of International laws stipulation that land conquered under war cannot be confiscated.
Read the UN documents on "the question of palestine" and inform yourself.
Maybe they should add to the curriculum, the subject of being shafted by large companies. Prices for CD's in the UK are fscking silly, around £15 , that's around £22.
Then the students will be in a position to make an informed judgement.
The problem "Islamic Extremists" have with the US is their support of the Jews in Isreal w.r.t their "Settlement activity" and to a lesser extent the numerous US military bases scatteren in the middle east.

What we don't know is whether this crack refers to phone calls made to a POTS, or those where both endpoints are Skype clients.
I wish they would implement a shortcut key for creating a new file or folder! If you use the keyboard a lot, here is a which you might find useful.

That is pretty nice, in France there are 2 packages available:
Standard: 512Down/128 UP , approx 50 USD
Pro: 1M Down/ 256 UP, approx 100 USD
They are nowhere near as good as yours though, probably cos France Telecom is still a state controlled monolith monopoly.
