Most of the people I know who have personal email addresses - use hotmail. It's the worlds biggest internet app.
I have used Yahoo Calendar as my organising tool before. It's another internet app.
They're easy to use, simple to start, accessible from almost anywhere.
They aren't the future, they're the present.
No, no. You don't get it...

You can't sue us because you got carpal tunnel syndrome. Thats a FEATURE OF THIS KEYBOARD!!! Marketing information has clearly shown that people who work with computer equipment WANT to be in pain.
It would seem to me that the "Native Americans" were the ones to first "discover" America.
Moreover, they also peacefully inhabited the land and had a continental population that was close to that of Europe around 19th century. But we killed most of them, so they don't count right? At least they can live in slums and on their native casinos now.
Why do white people always think they come first?
Interesting article here at http://www.operatingthetan.com/google/ about how the Church of Scientology exploits google's ranking system.
The basic gist is that google flags pages as more important (or higher relevance) if they have more links pointing to them...so the CoS makes thousands of spam pages that points at its main pages. Google sees the thousands of links, assigns the main CoS pages a high relevance, and thus they're the first to come up in any scientology-related search.
The moral being, for any new cool search technique devised to help fetch more relevant content, there'll be someone out there looking for a way to defeat it.
How can something like this make its way into OpenSSH?! Off-by-one? It might be a common error to make, but I would think that people writing security software would constantly be thinking to themselves about the consequences of these kinds of errors.
It's also a real bonehead mistake. Everyone knows that to iterative over an array of n elements, you do this:
for(i = 0; i arraySize) { error(); } else {... }
I'm sorry if this sounds conceited (that isn't my intention) but when I look at this I have an almost subconscious SCREAMING reaction. For whatever reason, the days when I made mistakes like this have come and gone -- whenever I loop over arrays I always think about it, and I cannot imagine someone not thinking about what they are doing. Especially in a piece of security software. How completely embarrassing.

I'm not surprised that the internet has reached 10% of the world's population - it's the richest 10%. I'll be more (pleasantly) surprised when the internet reaches 30% of the world's population - because then it will truly have made inroads into currently unserved or underserved populations - i.e. the 85% of the world that lives in what people in the US, EU, Japan, S. Korea, etc. would call abject poverty. (People in the 80th or 70th percentile, though, are themselves significantly wealthier than the 60% of the world's population that could truly be described as economically poor.)
For a little perspective, check out the brochure [itu.int] from the ITU World Telecommunication Development Conference 2002. A hopeful note, according to that link: "Africa now has more than twice as many main telephone connections as Tokyo and 85 percent of today's world population share 45 percent of all telephone lines (see Figure 1). In comparison, in 1984, 90 percent of the world's people used only ten percent of all telephone lines."
