Standard Outlook supports webmail (which means only Hotmail as far as I can tell) accounts and yeah, I forgot to mention the awful searching. Also Google desktop always fails to open an e-mail after it finds it, saying "perhaps the e-mail was deleted," or some nonsense. Maybe my setup needs "tweaking," but my system, while not top of the line, is well above par, and a default install shouldn't be that slow. It makes Azureus seem like a snappy minimum-footprint application by comparison.
Could it be that my PST file is around 4 gigs? Or maybe my expectations are just too high.
Well, avoiding reprisal without remaining anonymous may be impossible, but most companies wouldn't risk the lawsuit.
More importantly, if a whistleblower has something to report, then he (hopefully) has evidence, or can point the reader in the direction of where to find such evidence. For example, if you have pictures of Big Chem. Co. trucks dumping toxic waste, or can say "At 4pm every Friday, you'll find trucks dumping toxic waste in the public park," then it doesn't matter whether or not you have credentials. Without some sort of evidence, it's almost pointless to attempt to expose wrongdoing in the first place.
Maybe it's just me, but Outlook is a stinking piece of refuse that brings my system to a crawl. It takes only slightly less time to start up than an infinitely recursive loop. Its "rules," often miss messages (because it's distracted?). It becomes unresponsive when receiving mail through POP3 or dealing with attachments on an Exchange server. When "synchronized" to a Hotmail account, it doesn't bother prefetching e-mails and frequently becomes disconnected, particularly when performing actions on multiple messages. But at least when it becomes disconnected, re-connecting is straightforward.. in a hall-of-mirrors sort of way. With respect to Mr. Churchill, Outlook is to e-mail what democracy is to government -- the worst, except for all other clients I've tried so far.
Would you like to go to a doctor because he likes his income or his desire to heal people.
I don't particularly care what motivates him as long as he does his job. Besides, we all know there's only one thing that motivates all of mankind, and money is but one means toward that "end," if you get my meaning.
Eloquence is a characteristic of speaking. Unfortunately, it would take more than the replacement of a single word to make your sentences any less awkward than the GP's.
Boy is it. I can't tell you how many times I come home at the end of a hard day's work and start telling my goldfish about it, until finally he says, "Who the hell are you?" Until you've owned a goldfish, you can't understand the emotional trauma that causes -- to have your own goldfish forget who you are. I hope one day we have a cure, but until then I'm just happy that the thankless job of goldfish care is finally getting some much-deserved recognition.
Music Gonzalez already owned...Gonzalez used Kazaa, "to download songs she already owned on CD onto her computer. She wanted to be able to listen to them in any order, but didn't want to manually copy her whole CD collection onto her hard drive -- she and her husband own about 250. She also used Kazaa to download a few songs she didn't own, but only to 'listen to them and determine if they were something she would be interested in purchasing'.http://www.mp3newswire.net/stories/5002/cecilia_go nzalez.html
I have no idea why this isn't more broadly known, especially on this site.
Realistic dialogue? Because 1750esque grammar with outbursts in Chinese in outer space is realistic? Don't get me wrong, I think it's great, mostly, except for the part where they talk like cowboys, but realistic is the last adjective I'd choose to describe it. I think the ideas conveyed through the dialog are all of the things you described, but the phrasing is usually (albeit intentionally) ridiculous, and it's difficult for me not to cringe when they start "talkin' all cowboy-like," when it's not used for humor.
Was this story surprising to anyone, really? I'm honestly having trouble believing the look of shock on average people's faces, let alone reporters and lawmakers. Only those who put the blindest of faith in government should be at all surprised, and I suspect those same people would be surprised by a game of Peek-A-Boo.
The Patriot Act essentially suspended the Fourth Amendment. Many people were quite vocal on the matter, but were labeled as anti-American. It's unfortunate that such sentiment is still widespread, and even Senators who are currently filabustering the Act are doing so on frivilous grounds such as the allocation of resources.
But spying on citizenry is undoubtedly an effective tool. Just ask China. What we're forgetting is that this is a proven case where the cure is worse than the disease. History provides not one example of a society made better, happier, or safer by such action, and many examples of the opposite.
It's even funnier that they weren't put off by the advent of digital connections. Instead, they have "unique patent-pending impedance matching design, special RF-transparent XLRs."
"...Got the Fineline MKII cable today... it BLEW MY SOCKS OFF~! I would not have believed it, I was using an optical cable, which I though was excellent, but the digital cable just cleaned things up so much I just kept turning the volume up because it was so clean and lacked the harshness at the top end. It's so clean on the high end, it seems weak on highs, however, it's just because it's so clean. Thank you very much, John"
Yeah, those MK IIs will definately remove the harshness from a digital signal. Optical cables just don't transport information the same way. Sure, they might be good for things like providing the backbone for information technology as we know it, but they just weren't designed for transporting digital audio signals.
"...I received the STEALTH Fineline MK II cable earlier this week and I just wanted to tell how FANTASTIC it sounds! I could not believe the difference between a Monster Toslink and STEALTH Fineline MK II coaxial cable. Everything is so much more balanced and smooth! All the harshness is gone, the bass is deeper with more punch, and the midrange is so natural it's scary! Voices and guitars sound real! The highs are smooth, highly detailed, warm, and lush. I highly recommend this cable, and I will, to all my friends who could benefit from such a great product."
Once again, the harshness is gone. If this is not empiracle evidence, I don't know what is.
Your point is valid, but Congress won't see that as a mark against DRM. They'll see it as a reason to pressure other countries to adopt similar legislation.

Only $2,500, special for you.
Ask me about $500 rebates for referring 10 friends who also buy tickets!
Not the latest "innovative" breaking system that may or may not work all the time.
I'd venture to say that a breaking system probably won't work any of the time.
Stop wasting your time

In other news, Ron Jeremy is encouraging celibacy, Keith Richards is promoting clean living, and Oprah would like people to eat less.

In undeveloped countries, the consumer controls the market. In capitalist America, the market controls you.
In America, you live to fight another day. In undeveloped countries, you fight to live another day.
Right, but you never know what OS you're going to get until after it boots.
That, and you can either use your OS, or determine which OS you're using, but not both.
Don't forget these!
And 7 has 1 digit, which is ALSO prime!

Colin Pillinger says the images suggest the mission very nearly worked.. in much the same way cars very nearly miss when they crash into each other.

I thought it was obvious.
Anti-conspiracy theories are flamebait now? Because a sample size of 1 is a good way to draw a valid conclusion? Fucking moron mods.
