I get an incredible amount of spam bounces in my GMail account -- from somebody sending lots of spam using my GMail address as the From: or the Return-to: address.
I really, really want an option for GMail to record the message-id of all messages I ever send through their server, and bounce any which are returned to me but which they haven't got on record as being sent by me.
I requested this ages ago, and it should be relatively straightforward. Does anyone else have this problem?
People can justify their attractions or what they desire in someone all they want, but guys deep down don't want the smart witty girl - unless she also happens to be totally hot.
[Disclaimer: although I am a guy, I don't claim to speak for "guys", because to paint 3 billion people with one brush would make me a fool.]
I'm willing to bet you haven't had any particularly long-lived sexual encounters. All the good looks, money, power and fame in the world won't keep you interested in the bedroom. For that, you have to have a genuine desire to bond with a person on an emotional level. That's why you marry your best friend, not your favourite crush. And loving your best friend comes easily!
Flamebait? No, just overrated. But "misguided" doesn't deserve a -1; it deserves a reply.
Think of what you might describe as "noble" love -- trying to do the right thing by your fellow man because the world would be a better place if you did.
Now approach all of your interactions women the same way. Don't worry about losing the ones who would rather have you "treat them mean", those relationships fail sooner or later anyway.
You don't sound like the sort of person who will be confused by lust, or Hallmark emotions, so you have an advantage when it comes to keeping on the straight and narrow. Just remember not to play the game, and sooner or later you'll find someone who isn't a player.
I would be willing to try a relationship; I am however very content with my life the way it is. Again, if someone had ever shown interest--EXPLICITLY, I am terrible at picking up on subtle cues and emotions--I would have reacted with an equal amount of interest.
I suggest you ask your other friends -- particularly the women -- to tell you, explicitly, when they perceive other people giving you the subtle signals. If you explain the problem to them, they might even surprise you.
Also, if you can harden yourself emotionally to the extent that you don't mind staying single your whole life, you can probably deal with a few rejections, no? So when you meet new women, demonstrate, explicitly, an interest in them; if they'd rather be just friends, they won't hold it against you if they're friends worth having.
If you don't understand the difference between an n-dimensional hyperspace and a heirarchical taxonomy, you won't understand why proper metadata handling is not just an "add on utility for file systems".
Does that photo of your girlfriend (hypothetically speaking) on holiday in Tasmania come under "people/anna/holiday1.jpeg" or "holidays/tasmania/anna1.jpeg"? Hint: both.
It's damned inconvenient for certain operations: you can't replace some selected text with the contents of the clipboard, because as soon as you select some text, the contents of the clipboard are replaced.
You make exactly the same mistake as the poster you reply to -- thinking that your way is the One True Way. In truth, both mechanisms have their advantages; personally, having used both extensively, I prefer the Cmd/Ctrl-C/V method overall.
That's amusing... I was just thinking to myself, "yeah, but if you're stealing someone's bandwidth from 125 miles away, how are they going to catch you?" Then I looked at the picture.

Good luck.

I don't understand. How will people in the future enjoy these Vista features if the software is terminated? ;)
Here's a hint for you: what you describe as
FILE SEARCHING
is actually about
FILE ORGANIZATION,
aka
FOLDERS ULTIMATELY BEING REPLACED BY TAGS,
namely
FILES CONCEPTUALLY EXISTING IN AN N-DIMENSIONAL LABEL SPACE RATHER THAN A HEIRARCHICAL TAXONOMY,
in other words,
YOU FAIL IT.
See here.
I'm afraid you have it wrong. OS X is actually based on GNU/HURD.
blah blah blah all clever people can see the emperor's new clothes blah blah
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 78.
If you were designing cryptographic hash functions, I would have just stolen your biometric data. Or, effectively, that of your identical twin.
Yes, and bananas still say "may contain peanuts".
Welcome to the 21st century. You might want to read up on it before you get into too many conversations on Slashdot.
You can close your connection anytime you like, but you can never leave!
Never experienced vertigo, or jumped whilst watching a horror flick even when you knew it was coming?
I have a friend who crosses the road... and he'll probably be run over.
286 lawsuits out of... how many filesharers again?
Friends don't let friends use Hotmail.
Same as Netscape's incentive was to engage in a freeness war with Internet Explorer: lack of options.
Just as well people not working for IBM didn't listen to your style of reasoning, and we now have home computers.
Coffee. Laughed. Nasally.
But there's no replacement for select-copy-select-paste-select-paste.
I'm all for freedom of choice but I just can't see why people prefer the X11 method.
Maybe because you're the sort of person who tries to be proscriptive about things you should just chill out about?
