  1. Re:I'm lost on Gmail in the News · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately they've gotten smart and a number of ads don't get blocked anymore, such as ones that use mouse over ocmmadns to launch instead of normal open window commands.

    That being said, try comparing the first page you see when you log in to hotmail compared to the first page after gmail.

    Laugh... one of the guys on #gmail on Efnet had a small VB app that guessed for you, just leave it on overnight. :)

    The author of the page found a way to block it though ;p

    Personally I love the following:

    1) It's webmail like the ORIGINAL hotmail before MS tookover. Few ads, non popups, just gets you to your business

    2) Google search for your e-mail, nice and fast. Beats the hell outta Eurora and Outlook searching

    3) Threaded e-mails. I sent out an e-mail to a group of 10 friends, they all responded, I responded to some, etc. It all gets stored in ONE thread.

    >> If free speech means nazi propaganda, I don't need it.

    You're blind. Just because you don't agree with something, doesn't mean someone shouldn't have the right to say it. Even if they're wrong, why shouldn't they be able to say it?

  5. Re:Perhaps It Belongs in the OS on Microsoft Plans To Sell Anti-Virus Software · · Score: 1

    I was quite happy when AntiVirus was included in DOS 6, even if it was licensed from someone else. Especially since most of the people I work with can't be bothered to go and buy a good one (or download a good free one) to not only make their life easier, but make everyone elses life easier.

  6. Re:Hypothetical Question on EA, Atari Sue Over Videogame Copying Software · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately for you, $6.95 from Disney is a pretty reasonable cost to include manufacturing + cost of media + shipping + cost to have someone on the phone to talk to you. A single phone call to a call center costs the company between $20-$50 when you work out all expenses including employee salary, benefits, facilities, electricity, IT support, software being used by that call taker.

    What if they can't find the link on the mainpage... I'm just as happy with a guess. I'm sure the readers here can come up with a number of reasons of why this is done. Maybe it's only done if they can't find a link to it on the pages....

    Unfortunately Howard isn't about to allow his show to be given out free... but I know how you feel. Q107 in Toronto yanked him off the air a few years back. Sometimes I can pick it up off a buffalo station..

    BTW If you're in Florida... another station picked him up there.

    When I find a site on google and it has the links below it for 'cached' and 'similar pages'... I'd be more then happy to see an 'rss feed' link.

    I get those in Eudora and they don't seem to do much, my friends with Outlook however... not so lucky. :)

  14. Re:What about iChat? on AOL To Charge for AIM Videoconferences · · Score: 4, Informative

    It doesn't matter, this is a NEW service for AOL that allows multi-user voice and web conference. It doesn't affect one on one iChat...

  15. Re:Hmmm... on AOL To Charge for AIM Videoconferences · · Score: 5, Informative

    Right now it means NOTHING.... everyone is jumping to conclusions instead of RTFA'ing (shrug, I feel new here).

    They are taking services from two other providers (I've used WebEx, it's a decent web conference) and allowing them to initiate a voice and/or web conference (multiple particpants). This is a new service for AOL and does not effect a one on one conversation or video conference in any way.

    Actually there is a little more then that when it comes to CD-RW (most) and DVD discs. Drives actually detect what speed the media is rated at, so if you have a 1x DVD-R disc, you can only write to it at 1x, other speed options will be unavailable.
