I use a freeware, non-spyware, small Windows program called Popcorn to check all my e-mail before I download it to Outlook Express. Popcorn does not support attachments at all, it shows received attachments as base64-encoded text. It's great for filtering out junk, I just delete it from the server directly.
I also work for a university and we're also looking for a 11x17 flatbed scanner. We've done some pricing and everything is very expensive (one scanner vendor wanted $9000 for such a device!) and way out of our budget. We're a Windows-only office (goodbye, karma) so if anyone knows an affordable Windows 11x17 flatbed scanner solution, please pass it on.
No, I mean the other Borg Collective, the one that wants to control everything and everyone and...
Um...
I mean the other Borg Collective, the one that takes other people's technology for itself and... um...
OK, OK, I got it this time: I mean the other Borg Collective, the one that ignores problems until they become a threat... wait, that's still not totally clear...
I was talking about the Borg Collective from Star Trek.
After Pong Week get ready for the excitement of the G4 summer lineup!
In May G4 takes on everyone's favorite shooter with a weeklong marathon of Duck Hunt! And after dark, we send the ducks home and show nothing but hot clay pigeon action (please, adults only).
The last thing I need is to be driving to work in the morning, listening to my favorite radio station, and I stop by your car at a stop light and hear some god damned Punk Rock music or whatever you kids are listening to these days over MY radio!
What ever happened to the days when people listened to The Eagles?

I've found that having music playing is a big productivity booster for me, and the type of music I have playing depends on what kind of project I'm working on.
Tracking IP numbers or banning members from an online forum that I moderate requires a looped playlist of the themes from Mission: Impossible and The Lone Gunmen.
Working on a website works best with classics from the 1980s. Give me Huey Lewis songs any day.
Working on software is the time for lite rock or classical. However, no divas (in fact, that's a good policy for any music playlist) and no whiny love songs. Something with a beat that I can code to is optimal.
If I want to clear out annoy coworkers having a mini-meeting in the hallway, I fire up my looping MP3 of the original Super Mario Brothers theme.
Back in 1996 when I was creating a website to be hosted on the now-defunct Prodigy personal webpages server, if I used a file extension that was not 3 letters, the system would gripe and insist that 4 letter extensions were not allowed. Apparently their server system only allowed 3 letter extensions. Perhaps other servers out there use a similar set up and forbid non-3-letter extensions.

Still, I guess it was worth it to see...

Why link to Yahoo? Because we like ID and don't want to /. them ;-)
I've heard good things about something called Internet Explorer. Why not give that a try?
Well, I saw that coming. The aliens told me about this announcement weeks ago.
http://www.ultrafunk.com/products/popcorn/ is the website for the program.
I have nothing to do with the program or its development, I'm just a happy user.
Thanks!
Finally, after all these years, the costs of sending out free AOL CDs has finally caught up with them!
Pirate: We must be buryin' our booty. Prepare the map! X-Windows marks the spot!
Maybe it's all in how you develop your software.
Normal: "I'm going to compile my latest version of code."
Piracy: "Avast me hardies, I'm going to compile me latest booty! Arrr!"
When it's done.
I'll see your four and raise you four more.
The Legend Of Zelda - The Triforce should be a controlled substance.
Mega Man - Rehabitilitation of mad scientists doesn't work.
Donkey Kong Country - On the other hand, rehabilitation does work for gorillas.
Super Mario Brothers - Trust the fungus.

I think this is how the Borg Collective got started...

All this and more on G4. Insert coin!
Did anyone else read that and have a Soylent Green flashback?

All in all, good music is key.
Patience, my dear, patience...

Oh, you meant the probe... my mistake...
Can you imagine attending a lecture by this guy?
"Please rise for Dr. Cock..."
Aha, so all this time it was the Ferengi running the RIAA! It makes so much sense now!
Quark, call your office...
