Just buy some email accounts from a provider outside your block that isn't blacklisted. Then just pop3 all your mail there. You can even point your domain there. Cheap, easy, reliable, and would even save you bandwidth -- send an email to 5 people, it only goes over pop3 once.
Don't bother writing them and telling them they are losing money becuase XYZ. They won't believe you. They will only change when they notice their sales dropping. Then you better believe they will find out why, and on their own, without anybody to tell them.
In most cases, the hardware and its limitations can be simulated.
The problem is, if you simulate the hardware, you have to simulate the environment it runs in, too, and You'll never get it right.
In a real place, like a hotel, you have to build walls to prevent interaction between rooms. In a virtual world, you have to build code to make interactions happen. In simulating an environment, what are you going to overlook? Something, but you won't know what until you put your design in the real environment and if fails.

Lets say one defines AI as being able to emulate a human. Well, one human behavior is programming. So, one of the capabilities of a fully AI program would be to, given sufficient time, write any existing program, *INCLUDING* *ITSELF*.
Do you think it is possible to "code" a system that approaches human style intelligence? Is a generic self-learning system approach feasible? If the latter, will it ever be possible to have the kind of control over an AI entity as envisioned by Isaac Asimov in his "Laws of Robotics"?
Try archiving HDTV. At 19.4Mbps, you will be shocked at how small an 80Gig drive is. It will hold only about 9.5 hours worth. I've got plenty of large drives and need more.
Windows and Installshield

Pet Bugs?

· Score: 1
One of the funniest bugs I've ever run across came from a combination of behaviors of Windows and installshield. We built an install script using installshield and test ran it. It promptly installed the program directly into the Recycle Bin. When I had picked myself off the floor, I puzzled out why. After a previous install of the program, instead of uninstalling the program, somebody just dragged the program directory to the Recycle Bin. Windows must have trapped that and changed all the program registry entries to indicate the new program location and the install script reinstalled over the existing program.
In theory, you could broadcast to every computer on the internet quite easily. However, in practice, a packet sent to 255.255.255.255 wont get very far.
Most routers won't forward such a packet because it doesn't even take a blithering idiot to abuse.
Whats the matter? Don't you like talking black tarpits and sex planets? I'm just thinking: If only they could have combined those two into one episode...ahhhhh...be still my heart.
I watch HiDef TV (HDTV) and standard TV (SDTV) from broadcast, satellite and cable, as well as DVDs and CDs from one (1) computer. Video output is progressive scan (line doubled) native res. or HD going to 2 front projectors and Monitor (SDTV or HDTV possible). 1 is data grade with VGA input. The other is HDTV with component inputs. Sound goes out DD/PCM/DTS through SPD/IF in all cases to my receiver that decodes and upconverts as necessary to 5.1 surround.
To achieve all this with separate components and similar quality would cost $6000+ easy. The computer was ~2400. Remotes come included with the hardware or you can use wireless KB/Mouse as I do.
There's a theory saying that, if we ever figure out the Universe, it will be immediately replaced by something even more complicated. There's another theory saying that already happened.

I can't wait to see all that pr0n in crystal clear 4 colors! Talkin' about a Cheese Box!
I'm just sitting here watching the bits go round and round.
I *WANT* memory that clears itself when you turn off the computer.
Otherwise, What good will it do to reboot after Windoze Blue Screen(tm)'s on me?

Your solution is not that hard or expensive.
Just buy some email accounts from a provider outside your block that isn't blacklisted. Then just pop3 all your mail there. You can even point your domain there. Cheap, easy, reliable, and would even save you bandwidth -- send an email to 5 people, it only goes over pop3 once.

Do whatever people did before ritalin and other drugs. Whatever is was, it got us humans this far, so it can't be all bad.
Look at all the computers around you. They are covered in those little, yellow, sticky-notes.
Until sticky-note printers become ubiquitous, everyone will have to still do some handwriting.
How to sink an aircraft carrier:
Make its average density greater than water
You can accomplish this easily by filling it with water. A typical method is to put a hole below the waterline.
In most cases, the hardware and its limitations can be simulated.

"I have no idea."
"Heavy."
Why were things so heavy before Drake? Was there something wrong with the earth's gravitation?
