  1. Two Links on SMTP AUTH and ODMR Providers for Personal SMTP Service? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Wow, what a coincidence, I've been researching the same topic recently.

    Here are two providers that I've found so far:

    • domainMX.net - located in Ontario (at least it's North America...)
    • Dynu.com - look for the "Email store/forward" service.

    Both of these providers seem to meet my needs and have reasonable pricing, under $20/year. There were some other business-class services out there that I ruled out due to $100+ monthly costs.

    CSS is in a wierd niche - unneeded for simple pages, and too weak to do what Flash can do. Most of what CSS is usually used for can be done on the authoring side, with Dreamweaver templates or something similar. CSS also interacts badly with firewalls and proxy servers that edit out hostile content. If you really need exciting animated graphical effects (and you usually don't), Flash has far better capabilities.

    Wow, such a complete misunderstanding of CSS... CSS is intended to separate content from presentation. That's it. It has nothing to do with Flash or "exciting animated graphical effects".

    It's unfortunate that CSS is so misunderstood, as it is really a quite elegant model for web presentation.

    Most of us stopped calling spelling "english" when we were in grade 5. Why do people still call arithmetic "math" ??

    Because I took Advanced Mathematics 1 and 2 in high school? Because I took MATH 166, MATH 167, MATH 266, MATH 267, MATH 312, and MATH 314 in college?

    Hmm, it appears that your sentence is missing the letter 'S'.

    I think Vivismo does exactly what you are suggesting.

  10. Re:buying small amounts on Be Inc. IPO launched · · Score: 1

    On E-Trade it costs $15 per trade. That's $15 to buy and $15 to sell. To break even by buying 1 share at $8, you would have to sell it at $38, a 475% in value.

    Not likely...
