Isn't this just going to increase the reach of ICQ and AIM Spammers?
I mean doing this is juts going to increase the rate of which users of AIM or ICQ are going to be spammed, seeing as how we are now going to see AIM Spam reaching ICQ and vice versa.

I think the solution to this is something we have implemented with care in the real world regarding our mail, but somehow failed to do in our e-mail.
Think of a real world companies mailroom. Say it's a big company that gets thousands of letters each day. Some of it is business related and is important, some 'thank you's and 'well done's from customers, some 'your stuff sucks' also from customers and lots and lots of junk/spam/flame that is only good for recycling.
Sorting out all the mail takes time, so how do you make sure that the legit mail gets to you quick and the Spam stays in the Spam basket? Well you send registered mail. See, we know that certain mail is important when someone takes the trouble to take it to the post office and register it and pay more for it's delivery or call a courier to do the same. It's all barcoded so we can scan it, see who it's from and build a "trusted" mail list and rush it through.
Sound familiar? You bet! But the trouble is almost nobody beliefs in PGP signing their e-mail. All our mail programs can do it, but we just don't. Imagine, if it were that every piece of mail sent is signed, all we need is a simple filter to see what is spam and sort it out, dead on, with no legit mail getting junked.
It's a Good Thing (TM) that all the IMs are kept seperate (TM) this is because if we were to integrate them all, we get SPAM (TM) from oh so many Networks (TM) comming at us. It's liek opening the gates to Hell (TM).
In the old days, when you had a breaking news event, you'd have a rider on a motorbike waiting at the venue, once the pixman has the pictures taken of the said event, he hand it over to the rider where he'd rush it back to HQ and the photolab would have it out intime for the evening edition..
Now, with digital cameras, photos are taken, uploaded into a laptop, photoshopped by the pixman and Telnet-ed via cell networks into a pix server at HQ.
Now i see how we can just take teh pix and skop the laptop alltogather.
When the MPAA sees movies being downloaded, it's like watching people shit bricks. They KNOW it's painful trying to get a file just under a GB over a little copper cable.
When the RIAA sees music being downloaded, it's like looking at those annoying files that get left behind and bloat your windows diractory when you remove a programme. (Yes, i use windows, so flame mee) individualy, the are puny, just a few KBs, togather, they make up a GB!

Well, Digitizing your family album is a task, i can assure you. But here goes.
For photos already developed, you can get a scanner with an Auto-Document feeder, which will let you leave a set to auto scan and save you having to switch individual photos.
Then for future film photos, you can ask that the negitives NOT be choped up and then have them scanned all 24 or 36 at the tiem with a roll fed film scanner. Please note that no matter how they advertise it, the negitive scanning feature on all flatbeds, SUCK. You need a negitive film scanner for this.
For archive purposes, you will need soemthing like ACDSee. I love ACDASee, you can use it to organise your photos, rename, convert format, realign (from Tall to wide and vice-versa) and a host of other nifty things with it.
then for burning, if it's to last, i recomend KodaK Gold CD-Rs. Sure they cost a couple of buck more, but with a bit of care, they will make your photos last a life time.
Is not not brand it a Laptop, but a mobile desktop/desktop replacement.
All they have to do is to make the most of that bulk, add a GeForce2Go and make the LCD moduler so that it's reorientable to 3:4 and DDR RAM/ a GPRS modem and a properly designed backpack.
Sure, It weighs, but it'll be very useful for field work where you need the power of a full fleged desktop while mobile.
For those of yuo who are Malaysian/Singaporean, there was an informal communication between my company and our supplier that they will be bringing in this writer into our markets. but thats just the SEA market.

I always insist on them sending me a bill for my net access, so that when I want to disconnect, all I have to do is withhold payment. As the contract says, if you don't pay, you'll be disconnected.

Who commute. Imagine you spend a hour or more each way each morning and evening stting down and basicly doing nothing.
With a PDA and a line you can read news fresher then teh papers, play games, organise your day.
Then there are the things there are just too crumbersome to carry as paper, like a whole address book, a dictionary, graphic/business calculator.
Then theres the entertainment value of PDAs that have built in FM recievers and MP3 players.
