As another poster pointed out, they started charging for the abillity to access Hotmail accounts through OE in 2004 (you have to pay for an MSN subscription). According to to this knowledge base article, free access using OE stays possible only if the account had already been accessed through OE before the switch.
Addition: according to this knowledge base article, free access only works if you already accessed the Hotmail account using Outlook or Outlook Express before they switched to paid access. So you can't access an old account using OE for free if that account wasn't accessed throug OE before.
No, but if this is news then I must have madd haXX0rz skillz to be able to do this when it's not possible.
Besides your solution, I use Outlook Express (included in Windows) for years to access my Hotmail accounts. OE connects to Hotmail using some proprietary protocol, not POP3. It's a bit slow, but I like the abillity to have access to these accounts in the same place as my POP account. This is a free (gratis) solution and it's ad-free.
A number of years ago, when I was starting to DJ, I spent a lot of time on the news group alt.music.makers.dj (and also uk.music.makers.dj). There were a number of very knowledgeable people who offered lots of useful advice. I don't know the current state of these groups, but at least you will find a lot of information in the Google archives.
But they recommend switching: (from the coral-announce mailing list)
CoralCDN now listens on both port 8090 AND 8080. Therefore, you can now access Coral by adding 'nyud.net:8080' to any URL.
We actually recommend that people transition to using port 8080: Many corporate firewalls---that otherwise block port 8090---will actually let requests to port 8080 through, as it's a standard alternative to port 80 for running web servers.
We will still continue to offer service on port 8090 for the near future for backwards compatibility.
As was pointed out in this comment in yesterday's "Subpoena Resistance Hurts Google Stock" thread, the Google executives were very aware of this. For their IPO, they set up dual-shares such that public shareholders have practically no say over how the company gets run.
"Ever met a teenager?" - I kept two of them until they grew into adults, the last one without female assistance. I released them both into the wild at age 18-19. They both lead usefull lives and have been sucessfull in finding a mate. I am now waiting to see if they breed.
Glad you're a biologist - most of the computer geeks here wouldn't get past the design document.

Flag all usernames that meet that basic regex criteria.
With all the efforts spammers do to avoid baisian filtering on e-mail, don't you think they will change their username format to something else half an hour after you implement this regex? Probably to something more variable (and dictionary based).
Hand filter that bunch.
And hand filtering thousands of blogs which are created automatically does not seem feasible...
the easy way around this if you've got a windows-based PC is a linux live cd. if mac's can read the "regular" part of the CD, then so will linux... so should a stereo component cd burner or copier, stand-alone cd duplicators, etc.
Or just disable auto play in Windows, so Sony's DRM player isn't installed? If the CD's audio session is accessable from other OSes, the CD is not corrupt like other "DRM" CDs (which exploit the fact computers start reading a CD on the last session, and a classic audio CD player just reads the first one). Thus, Windows should be able to just read the audio session.
The second, in XP and above, is the tab key. Finally it is autocompleting on the command line.
This functionality was already available in NT4 and Win2k, but was disabled by default (I never understood why). You have to change a registry key to enable it.
Why is this a problem when you can "Bookmark this Frame"?
Because I want to bookmark the page as a whole, not a single frame. Most of the time, these kind of pages have several frames with related content (see my Google Groups example).
Additionally, don't vote for that bug as it's targetted against Mozilla and won't affect FireFox development at all.
Isn't Mozilla code reused in FF? Or is it only the Gecko rendering engine which is used? Ok, I suppose you're right.
I didn't immediately find a similar bug for FireFox, so I should probably report it myself.
If you want FireFox to bookmark Framesets (not just frames) that's a whole other 'bug'.
I was talking about "a web page with frames" and "frameset bookmarks" in my original post, not single frames.
When bookmarking a web page with frames, only the top frame is bookmarked, and the location of the sub-frames won't be remembered. IE does this correctly.
I don't like sites which use frames, but it's still used on a lot of sites. Example: Google groups. And I would like to be able to bookmark these pages too.

You've got it backwards (public key encrypts, private key decrypts) but are otherwise correct.
No, that's when you want to encrypt a message (e-mail, document). He talked about signing, which is the other way around (private key signs, public key verifies).
What if someone else runs the data through stego to see if something is hidden. That way anybody can find the hidden data.
Programs like Steghide (the one used in the article) need the correct passphrase to even detect the existence of hidden data. Enter a wrong passphrase, and Steghide will tell you there is no embedded data.

Free accounts, since that cut-off, were only permitted to access using a web browser.
Ah, but apparently this restriction applies only to newly created accounts, and mine are a number of years old. Thanks for the info.

I'm not sure you can compose a bar code with an SMS message!
That's what the filter "|" symbol is for.

Some months ago, there was a great guide on Kuro5hin: How to Survive a Zombie Attack. Certainly worth a read.
That should read "Bayesian filtering" of course.

the infamous "Slashdot bug". (Not sure if it's corrected in recent versions since I normally use Mozilla or Safari.)
2 7.
It's fixed, but not in the 1.0 branch (1.0.7), only in the head. So the fix is included in the 1.5 Beta 1 (Deer Park).
