I am using dovecot and thunderbird, and have about 60 "live" folders, some with 10's of thousands of messages (a couple with 150+k messages). It is a constant battle with thunderbird, which often goes away for long periods of time, even when not doing anything one would expect to be dealing with the larger folders.
I'm working on some scripts to archive messages into 30-90-180 day archive folders to keep the live folders down to a manageable size, but it would be nice to find something that already exists...
I just logged into my account and went to the secure cards section and I still had the option to generate a new card. Maybe the actual browser plugin was killed (I don't use that), but the virtual cards are still there.
The cost of ebooks is no reason to avoid the technology: I never bought hardbacks because they were too expensive, and I won't buy $10 ebooks for the same reason, but there are far more $5 ebooks out there that I want to read than I have time to, so the $10 ebooks are just pricing themselves out of the market and don't affect me, other than there are some that I actually *would* like to read. But, as with hardbacks, I'll just wait for the "paperback" version (they will drop in price after being out a while). Same with DRM --- there's plenty out there without DRM (and a lot more with crackable DRM, but that's a last resort --- I'm voting with my $ on that issue as well).
Apparently they didn't actually *look* at real EV drivers. I suggest they go to some EV group meetings, and not look at just Tesla drivers. If only I were young again, or *ever* made even half of $200K... Not that I'm a big fan of subsidies, even when they benefit me, but they probably are helping to kickstart a market that is finally starting to become viable...
...I'd get one. For a display, I want to see what's on the screen, not me or what's behind me. I have to admit this imac isn't as bad as I was afraid it would be, but it helps that a lot of the windows I use have light backgrounds. Anything with a dark background is both bad display and a bad mirror.
Don't know where they get that from, the wikipedia article the article links to doesn't even back that up (with the exception of 3D, but there you have one projector for each eye, which does not increase resolution); all you have to do is look at the projection booth at an IMAX theater; at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (and, apparently, several other Omnimax/IMAX Dome theaters), the projection room is a big glassed in room where you watch the projector in action showing the movie before the one you're about to see while you're waiting.
It would be interesting to see what would happen if the search engines would respond to overzealous takedowns with "ok, if you don't want to be on the net, we'll remove *all* references to you".
While you can find out what it is without too much trouble, that doesn't detract from the fact that the summary would be vastly improved if it had included that information in the first place.
What no one seems to have noticed is that transmissions are not just for efficiency and rpm limits --- you get a mechanical advantage from torque multiplication as well that you lose out on with a fixed planetary gear system. Though you might be able to combine something like this with the multiple planetary systems an automatic transmission uses, to get continuously variable in->out with a select set of torque ranges.
Agreed: I would happily subscribe to an official tracker for several Australian and British shows that either aren't available here at all or after some delay. I *want* to support the people making stuff I like so they'll make more of it, but it does need to be affordably priced too (that is comparable to the DVD/bluray pricing, since you're getting something you can keep, and not ss..t..r.ea...m.e....d).
Quite so. Except for one or two experimental purchases, all of the 2-300 ebooks I've purchased, first for my Sony Reader, and for the last year or so, Kindle, have been DRM-free. Mostly from fictionwise.com, some from Baen. OK, and since around Christmas, a handful of Kindle books now that they can be fixed easily, though I still avoid them on principle.
I've been thinking of something along this very line, but I'm a little torn: distributed is the right way to go, but to implement something akin to the facebook newsfeed, it seems like the right answer is an atom feed that all your friends subscribe to (and you to theirs), but then either you have something downloading theirs all the time, and then your info is stored on someone else's computer where it's easy pickings for a bot (and the opportunities for exposure multiplied), or you wait to fetch all 100+ friends' feeds. I'm not sure if the risk of the former is *that* big, after all, it wouldn't be hard for a bot to get the facebook login and skim all the info, but it would be rather harder than just picking off the local cache.
I know there are a lot of sheep out there, willing to sell their souls for something shiny, but I'll wait for something that isn't run by a dictatorial nanny.
I believe that's basically what they're doing. I've purchased a number of reasonably priced ebooks, un-drm'd, more than I have time to read. I did cave and buy a number of drm'd books that I really like, as I'm trying to get rid of my paper library (I'm *really* tired of lugging it around), but *only* after the kindle format was cracked last winter so I could guarantee my books were portable. They'll rip people off for the $10 as long as they can, just like with hardbacks (which at least have a justifiable higher price), and then they'll drop the price for the non-suckers. All people have to be is patient to get reasonable prices; unfortunately, the rest of us have to be more patient because there are probably too many people willing to be ripped off.
I am unwilling to put up with the intrusively annoying majority of ads, but would be happy to pay a reasonable small fee to read an article --- as long as that payment is also non-intrusive. The Killer App waiting to happen is a simple, easy, standard way to do that securely. They will be the next paypal.
Commercial entities gutting the competition by pushing politicians who don't get it. The stated concern would be addressed by simply making bbc independent and self-supporting, but it's too good for the competition to be happy with that...

So I leave a facebook window open at both home and work. Not seeing how places is useful, much less a concern...
You can't escape your past for similar reasons in a small town either, but at least you can move away...

Failure to yield is failure to yield, doesn't matter if it's a yellow triangle or a red octagon.
If the people who got offended would laugh at the idiots who pull stunts like that, the problem would probably be self correcting...

I grew up on paper books and I still don't notice a difference. The study is full of it in my book.

There are plenty of good, reasonably priced and even drm free ebooks. Price of books is no reason not to get one.

It's pretty bad when Google gets slashdotted!

Given the ubiquity of GPL'd code these days, add a clause to the GPL:
"you're only allowed to use this software if you don't enforce patents against open source software"
