Zonealarm does it. Deny everything unless you KNOW it has to connect. Mail & browser for most people. It will only ask once per app. What's so hard about that?
Seems all the white headphones are off about halfway thru the flight.
There are several players that take AA batteries so you don't have to lug chargers, wires and converters (and Jesus H Christ, a solar panel like you suggest) along also. Just change the battery, no charging downtime, unless the essence of "style" is the thing plugged into the wall.
I use a Rio player (discontinued) that runs 14 hours on a single aa battery and uses SD cards, there are others that do the same. The player cost $50 and while it won't get me laid, neither will an Ipod.

Yeah, let's whip out all the lone wolves and their deacdes ago one off attacks.
The simple fact of the matter is the CURRENT problem is ISLAMIC extremists who have PUBLICLY VOWED they will kill us any way possible, however long it takes, however many times they have to try. And they will try even if they have to kill themselves in the process, an exclusively Islamic trait you conveniently leave out with your little list.
In every thread like this there is some academic robot defending that with that obsolete PC attitude, and it is going to take some unspeakable Islamic horror before you wake up. Or do you advocate acceding to their demands which are 1) Destroy Israel and 2) Convert to Islam
ISP's do a lot of spam blocking, A0L is especially aggressive. Hotmail and Yahoo accounts have bayesian filters. Furthermore, corporate mailservers filter, sometimes aggressively. How are you going to sell your v1@gr@ to bored cubicle monkeys if the goddamn company is running a barracuda.
I'm not so sure GP isn't correct in that the threat from terror organizions cannot be profiled.
It's fine to be politically correct and talk about lone wolves from decades past when someone brings up the topic of Muslim men, but we are in a new era where Islamic organizations have vowed to kill Westerners, and sorry to say their operators all seem to fit a certain profile. Don't blame me for noticing, blame them for doing it to themselves.
Are you sure you're not using Real Alternative? I can't fathom your comment because RealPlayer is the most ad-ridden, cluttered useless interface I've ever seen in my life. The first time I ran it I almost couldn't figure which window had the video. And needless to say it was the last time.
OTOH Real Alternative is a WMP embed (there's also a QT one) which uses WMP 6.1 and no ads.
I think he means, is he was hooked on Windows the same way pushers get you hooked on drugs.
It's all over the place, it's popular and the first one is free. He might have gotten windows from school, a friend or wherever, now Microsoft has him by the jewels and twisting hard. He's locked in and going nowhere dspite all the bugs, DRM, BSOD's, security holes, and lack of performance of Windows.
The point is Microsoft got where it is because of piracy, not inspite of it, and now seeks to boost revenue by forcing purchases from some of those it sucked in using that method. It is unlikely that they planned it all the way, but nevertheless it worked. I'm sure Microsoft sees clearly the increased competition from Linux and OSX but that is a 10-year thing, totally immaterial for what really matters, the quarterlies and the stock price.
He has a better chance profiting selling Zen accessories, than joining you and a thousand other manufacturers already making mee-too Ipod accessories, all alike.
That seems to be the idea with MS Vista minimum requirements - to the point slick features are turned off with the minimum configuration. That's why I will not buy Vista for many many years if ever. Hell, I've still never bought XP, and machines that came with it were reverted to Win2K, because XP's "features" are mostly distractions to me.
That being said, if there was some kind of quantum move in the human interface -- if they implemented Vernor Vinge's headbands or Minority Report 3D windows, hell yeah I'd upgrade. But never for Glass or other slick flashy crap.
That being said let me tell you what a bitch of a time I had googling a script. I needed something to stop brute-force http password hurler attacks in realtime, all it had to do is check the log for multiple 401 errors from an ip and then ban it. My server is getting pounded (one attack - 400,000 tries in 3 hours). Googling led to hotscripts and about a jillion other script sites all referencing scripts that would do the trick - however, the authors sites were all gone by the time I looked. The only ones working were "services" to do this charging $49.99/mo and up, or selling the script at $199 or more.
I really don't like to think that these "service" sites bought out the free authors - but it sure as hell looks like that's what happened. I refuse to support that kind of BS.
I have no problem doing that except with high end, or heavy items. First, there are often warranties that are only valid in the US and the buyer thinks *I* warranty it. Secondly, especially in Europe, there are customs and high taxes I absolutely do not want to hassle with. With heavy items the buyer often freaks out upon finding out the item will cost $80 to ship (6 weeks delivery by sea). There is extra paperwork on my end (customs forms, having to look up postage for each country, etc.)
That being said I make more money on the items by allowing international bidders on all other items. A seller who rules out all international bidders is quite simply not a good businessman.
I shot a large wedding group with a 4x5 view camera and a 1940s-era 90mm lens on Tri-X film, and you could very easily ID all 250 people in the shot after we blew it up to poster size.
Hover a neodymium magnet over the drive as it spins (not too close or you'll bend the arms). Format then write an image containing canardal information. Then do multiple passes with random data. Nothing would gratify me more than a million dollar recovery to get bayesian junk.

Just like Microsoft Windows I guess

Wow such insight, they once left my machine a smoking ruin and you want me to take your word to load it again.
I suppose you'll be recommending AOL, now that they've also supposedly reformed.

Really, so your sarcasm-laden "advice" is actually support for niche-market sales?
I'd like to hire you as a consultant, complete with NDA, I must keep all this good advice to myself and out of the hands of my competitors.

In no brick and mortar casino can you gamble with a credit card.
Most credit card companies also have an aversion to the practice of you gambling with THEIR money.
It might be just me, but I think that gambling with borrowed money (e.g. markers) is about the dumbest financial move a human being can make.
They want to halt all the tech calls, gray hair and suicides caused by this.

Well first you'd have to get the crowd to look at the camera. Kinda defeats the purpose.
