Its to my knownledge the only email client that supports remote imap properly. By that I mean one that doesnt try to re-download the whole list of all messages in the folder like mutt (Very usefull with huge folders).
Yeah, now it seems to be even worse than before the bubble. At least pre-bubble I had a job at Hewlett Packard (I'm a Comp Sci grad). Now the NJ R&D site for HP is no more.
The only way this makes sense is if that $725 million is internet monopoly money, and not good, honest U.S. greenbacks.
The internet monopoly money (VA stock certificates) came from real honest greebacks, though. $30/share back at the IPO price, and the $725 million VA lost doesn't even count the kickbacks to the brokers.
Where did it go? Haircuts, groceries, rent, and gaming machines for employees like Cowboyneal, in part. Then interest to the banks (and REITs) which own pretty much everything else.
I'm not a professional programmer or anything, but I am in the process of learning, and I'm just wondering how one would go about actually identifying the proprietary bits of code.
Just release it and see who sues. As long as you respond quickly to any cease and desist orders, most contributors won't actually file lawsuits.
But short of not distributing the newly GPL'ed software, is there any way for me to protect myself in the event some proprietary code gets left in the GPL code?
No. But depending on the financial status of the company violating your copyright, and whether or not your "settlement" was legally binding settlement, you could possibly sue for incidental damages or something.
If you don't have a real "settlement," you could mitigate your potential damages and pay for a full code review and then turn the charges over to the copyright infringer.
No one is holding a gun to your head to have a cell phone.
True, but someone is holding a gun to my head forcing me not to use the cell phone companies precious frequencies. Let me build my own tower and then I'll gladly get rid of my cell phone service.
I wonder if it's more likely to catch a terrorist who knows there's extreme security so they're very delibrate in their actions and extremely careful, versus catching a terrorist who thinks there is minimal security so is less likely to be so secretive and careful.
"We're sorry folks, this has been a honeypot flight. You're not actually at your expected destination. Please schedule a new flight at the front desk."
And the javascript parts to it don't work at all on Mozilla. But at 6.4% (before the most recent rate cut) I'm not about to switch just 'cause of my browser.
I always thought the use of free e-mail accounts was that they were "throw away" - you use them for sites that require an e-mail address, for posting online, or other situations when you don't want to give out your "real" e-mail address.
Nah, I use my main account mainly for the web access, the permanence beyond ISP switches, and the easy to remember name (no one ever asks me how to spell "yahoo.com").
I could use my inbox.org address for these purposes, but then I have to commit to paying $100/month or whatever to run it.
The most recent time I've moved from Linux to Win2k was because Linux didn't support my firewire drives (except in alpha stage drivers) or my ATI All-in-Wonder video tuner. Those are both probably solved by now, so the reason I haven't switched back is basically laziness (I'd have to format drives, convert my outlook folders, move stuff around, etc) and fear (that someone else is going to not be supported, as is almost always the case).
I have made the switch to mozilla for the most part, though citibank doesn't seem to like it so I usually use IE.
Who's going to determine whether the amendment is related or not? The Supreme Court?
The reason it has to be this way is because any other way would give too much power to too few people.

Fine, your explanation still showed a marked difference between sidewalks and the internet. The cost of traffic may be "sort of like" taxes, but those sort of taxes are paid to ISPs, not to the government. Therefore the ISPs should determine the rules, not the government. They won't do this of course because the major ISPs are profiting off the spammers. How much do you think Ms. Betterly pays every month to WorldCom? You can bet it's a helluva lot.

Did you read the article? The woman in this story doesn't use open relays. Not all spammers use open relays. Bzzt. Sorry. Try again.

Outlook Express does this just fine.
Heh, the funny thing is I was thinking exactly the same thing when I read the post. Threading? Who needs threading? What code bloat... Ohwell.

According to the article, they've lost about $79.7 million from their start in 1995.
During which time VA Software lost $725 million.
Your point 3 shows that you clearly don't know what you're talking about. You can't copyright information.
Just think to yourself "Can I afford a $3000 bill if I get hosed?"
If you're saving $500/month in premiums, you sure can!

Capitalism = who rips off best wins
I guess Sprint PCS isn't very good at ripping people off, then.
Has anyone else had this happen to them before? What actions did you take?
I'd be glad to explain to you all the times that this has happened to me and what actions I took for only $25/hour.
It's not paranoia if it's actually happened to people in similar circumstances.
Actually, yes it is.
I wonder if it's more likely to catch a terrorist who knows there's extreme security so they're very delibrate in their actions and extremely careful, versus catching a terrorist who thinks there is minimal security so is less likely to be so secretive and careful.

Of course, that would require everyone to start using PGP.
