There's presently no place in FileSonic's account settings to update your billing info, either. I don't know if there might've been before; I've had the account for over a year but never needed to change anything until now.
For the last hour, I've been trying to cancel my FileSonic premium account, which is set to rebill me in a week's time. It is now apparently impossible to do so. Upon filling out the cancellation form with the correct info and clicking "Cancel," all one is presented with is a screen titled "AN ERROR OCCURRED" and the helpful message "application error." One might suspect they've intentionally disabled their cancellation mechanism to stop the mass exodus of users (and therefore money).
I found this phrase ironic: "if users take the printers' word for when to get a new cartridge."
Epson's printers (most of them, anyway) don't offer the user a choice. Many will simply shut down and refuse to print at all. Some won't even print in black if that cartridge is full and a color cartridge is empty.
Something about this sets off my bogometer.
Perhaps it's the assertion that a teaspoon of the material can absorb a full gallon of water. Even if it could expand enough such that its volume approximated a gallon, the resulting substance would be only slightly less viscous than the water itself... it just isn't possible to get enough structure from so little mass.
In other words, if a teaspoon of the stuff absorbed a gallon of water, it would damage books just like a gallon of water would.
We don't generally call that ABSORBING water. We generally call it DISSOLVING IN WATER.:)
What I get from that article is that the Australian authorities are finally discovering that they MIGHT want to ban cellphone use during flight, and MAYBE even have people turn off portable electronic devices during take-off and landing. Seems to me the FAA thought of all that, years ago. Guess the aussies are a little slow?

Sure ... I can do that, but doing it once a month until the end of time isn't going to look good. :)

Trillian IS free. Unless you get the PRO version, which IMHO has no significant additional features to make it worth licensing.
Leave it to AOL to wait until something's already been done, several times over, then "announce" it as though they'd just invented the idea.
Trillian (excellent), GAIM, and about half a dozen other software packages already exist to fill this need.
