While you are correct... the user that is likely to set these restrictions is probably smart enough to stay free of viruses in the first place. It's the ones that don't know about these kind of safeguards that are the problem.
Windows default security model is horrible, but hopefully sp2 will straighten things out a bit.
So far, the search seems to work very well. I've forward all of my email from various other accounts to my gmail account (mailing lists, etc), just to play with the search.
Gmail's search is very fast, and so far as I can tell, very accurate. I am most pleased.
If gmail is this good right from the start, imagine a year or two or five down the road. If they stick with their own philosophy, this could be the last email address you will ever need.
I for one, do not care about the privacy concerns. I have nothing to hide, but if I did, I could always send it as an encrypted attachment.
The mindset concerning homosexuality at that time is tragic. His 'fate' however is not. He took his own life, that's not tragic, that's just plain weak.
He was a great man and his life would lead one to believe that he was a stronger person than that.
I thought against posting this, but I see no reason to show respect to an act of suicide. Respect the man and what he accomplished, but to call his death tragic, as if to say "Poor Alan, people didn't accept him for him", just doesn't sit well with me.
This is of course only my opinion, and probably will not show up (I never post and have negative karma... I think), but I thought it necessary to state anyway.
Actually, I went to use a US Bank ATM the other day, only to discover it was out of service. Instead of the normal welcome screen, there was a command window open with an error (I don't remember the specific error). What was interesting about this was that the command window was sitting atop an Win NT4 desktop.

I don't know... the constant evolution of Linux is one of the things that attracts me to it. I know a great deal of people wouldn't like this, but I guess I'm just not in that big of a hurry to see the great "Linux on the Desktop" era.

"Before the gaming industry can be taken seriously"
Games taken seriously? Gimme a break. Why would you want that? Lighten up, games are escapism.
We don't spend nearly enough on education.
Education is arguably one of the most, if not the most, important programs in this or any country.
the last ten years of music have been great, provided of course, you don't consider what they play on the radio, music.

Sounds like you need better spam filtering. Spam is a problem, but not an unworkable problem.
