Setting up a home email server was a lot of fun; however, constantly trying to keep one step ahead of the spammers and having my email sent to the bit-bucket by poorly designed anti-spam systems used by large ISP became a major drag. I finally threw in the towel and moved my email domain to Google Apps.
I trusted Google implicitly up until a couple of months ago when the stories of email accounts being wiped started to surface and have since set up a system similar to those already mentioned here to backup my email.
I've been running IPv6 on my home network and have had IPv6 tunneling running through HE.net for the past year.
My Apple Time Capsule allows IPv6 tunneling and allocates addresses to my machines on the network for me. I even set up a AAAA record in my DNS service to allow people to see my personal web site over an IPv6 address.
I can hold up my hand and say that I'm ready to go as soon as my ISP gets off it's butt. It will be nice to be able to shut-off all that annoying NAT crap some day!

It just goes to show you that some Windows users never install updates -- and they not only do they not install updates, but they try to get something for nothing....

No, it's more of the fact that "a sucker is born every minute" or more along the lines of every millisecond.
The college freshmen of today never experienced the "2001 all over again", so they are ripe for the pickings of email bombs that look "old hat" to old farts like us.
By far, the ancestors of many, if not most, americans were thrown out of other countries for being weird, overly religious, or generally disliked. As a result, the future population of america was in effect bred to be weird, overly religion and generally dislikable.
This mean that your ancestors are to blame for kicking our ancestors out and creating this mess to begin with.

I've seen a number of situations where the DHCP servers on older home routers or the entire router itself will crash if you have IPv6 enabled on Windows Vista. It appears that the DHCP servers on some older home routers freak-out when IPv6 clients make DHCP requests to them.
Before turning it on on your home LAN, make sure that your older home routers can handle it.
I too hate Windows 7, but for me it is the deplorable "HomeGroup" networking feature that appears to be the 2009 version of "DOS aint done until 1-2-3 won't run". Specifically, non-Microsoft operating systems (and some older Microsoft operating systems) are no longer able to automatically detect Windows 7 shares on a LAN like has been available in Windows XP. From what I've read, this was a "feature" of Vista, but I never touched that Vista to know if that is the case or not. "HomeGroup" is just another cat and mouse game by Microsoft.
2.5 years is less than the maximum length of the Applecare warranty. So you're not going to support the major OS release that came with a computer that's still under warranty?
You missed the point.
He said that Leopard came out 2.5 years ago. Leopard still supports G3 Macs and is still suported.
Tiger users have had 2.5 years to migrate from Tiger to Leopard.
It's Snow Leopard that doesn't run on G3 Macs. Leopard does.
That's why the y-chromosome is for, since it is passed on from father to sons essentially unchanged as well -- true -- it is not as resistant to change as mitochondrial DNA, but Y-DNA is excellent for tracing male lineage.
I remember specifically being able to download Netscape via FTP during this time period, and often did.
There was no "had to use IE", but of course it did make it a bit easier.
Then again, I was used to downloading Mosaic via FTP during the days when "Chicago" was thought to be just vaporware, OS/2 ruled the x86 server world and you had to run memmaker on DOS6.2 every week or so to keep your Windows 3.1 machine's networking TSRs running to connect to the Internet.
Of those three things, finally getting a version of Mosaic that ran on Window 3.1 was the only bright spot in computing back in those days.

She's hard of hearing -- not a time traveler.

What happens to the functionality of my first generation Apple TV?
I mean.. we've bought a ton of shows for the kids to watch -- I can only assume that we won't lose the ability to play those. Bad assumption?

Looks more like a mini space shuttle to me.
Maybe it collects defunct satellites and brings them back for repair..

I seem to remember a Windows 3.1.1 release that added some "Windows for Workgroups" updates to Windows 3.1.
Do I remember correctly?
.. but when I see someone in a coffee shop hunched over their little netbook I kind of feel bad for them.
I find myself thinking, "Awww.... poor guy. His back, eyes, and fingers must be killing him right now"
It looks really uncomfortable.
From the admittedly limited exposure to the iPad that I've had so far, it seems to be a much more comfortable experience.

... I've got a bad feeling about this.
it turns out that nanotube technology causes cancer on a hugemongous scale and it wipes out the human race.
Which allow a right click, (enabled by default IIRC) by having two fingers on the trackpad while clicking.
Actually, in Leopard and Snow Leopard, the two finger click for right-mouse click is not on by default.
You have to enable it in System Preferences.
.. unless you've got multiple X-Chromosomes instead of just one.
Seriously. A simple DNA test will very likely answer the question pretty easily.
Actually, it was DOS Prom... I mean Command Prompt ftp that I would use.
Thanks though!

Makes about as much sense as a screen door on a sub...
Nevermind...
Does this take into account the near perfect vacuum that is created when congress is in session? No oxygen = no combustion!
