Either go into Accounts and edit the folder where mail is stored to point to the same folder, or use a symlink to have the "Mail" subdirectory in your profile point to the same place.
Why would people in the left lane not pass a slower driver in the right lane, and if they did not why would this be a conspiracy, and why would anyone be inclined to pass laws preventing a recurrence?
Because the left lane is the passing lane. If you're not passing someone, and there's someone fairly close to you (100 feet) behind you, get out of the way and let em go past you. It is not your responsibility to force others to go the speed limit. It is your responsibility to drive in such a way that the roads remain safe and efficient for both you and other drivers. Plenty of times I've been driving in the left lane, passing a driver, with another driver wanting to pass me. I hop over to the right lane, let them pass, then if there's another car that I'm approaching that I'll pass soon, I hop back to the left lane as necessary. As for the house stuck around a blind corner, that seems to be one of the VERY rare circumstances where such an action is justified.
Back in the Soviet Union, they had extreme security for anything that could be used for duplication of information, lest it be used for spreading subversive information. Now Disney wants the same thing, except that the claimed reason is different. The ability to quickly and easily spread information as far and wide as possible is what has allowed our society to get as far as it has. Now they want DRM technologies so that information flow would be restricted. This is about as far from progress as a proposed law can get
RTFA. He went to a web site which had a popup which, through a series of iframes and such, including obfuscated code etc., wound up exploiting a vulnerability in IE to download a progra, and change some keys in the registry
Actually, I think they're claiming displaying them in a calendar view. So pictures from 4th of July appear in that area, pictures from July 11th below those, etc.
I know about the Eldred vs. Ashcroft case, but couled this law be declared unconstitutional due to the statement that Congress should have the right "To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries".
This seems to fly flat in the face of that because (A) it restricts the manufacture/trade etc. of items that could be used after the "limited times" expire (technically, such a time does exist, despite Congress' stupidity as of late) and (B) it seems to fly counter to the promotion of the progress of science and the arts
And there is a one word solution, peer to peer. The whole torrent concept is what is needed.
No, the amount of overhead for something as small as an RSS file makes a torrent or other p2p network impractical.
You know how much traffic a p2p network deals with due to searches? Now multiply those searches every hour. Ouch. As for torrents, you still need a central tracker. BitTorrent works well for serving large files, because a small amount of control data controls a large amount of data transfer. Here you'd have a small amount of control data for a small amount of data transfer. So no, P2P would not work for distributing RSS feeds.
The overrated mod is also the only reasonable tool that I'd use when I want to smack a post with -1 Wrong. (i.e. a post about how well Windows XP runs on an 8086, or a point sufficiently well refuted by other posts)
Parent poster hit the nail on the head. When I first installed redhat, the number of scripts it had to do anything and everything made me feel afraid to start tinkering for fear that I'd mess everything up with those scripts. Slackware has a minimal number of scripts, and pretty much gives you the reins of the system, instead of giving you a pretty little image with a bright head covering on it.
the point is this: no program should need to execute anything via a shell: URI. Therefore the shell: protocol should only open an explorer window at most, not execute. This is a Windows bug. not everything needs to be handled via URIs, especially program execution
The rar's are for downloading it from IRC networks which have a limit on max filesize.
Excuse me? IRC networks don't actually handle the transfers, they merely facilitate the spread of information. IRC file transfers are actually direct transfers between source and destination.
Since it is now legal to watch over BT I'll definitely pull a copy and give it a watch on the hope he has something interesting to say without his grandstanding and stunts.
Uhh, it's still not legal, but the director and the distributor are just not going to give a damn about enforcing it unless someone starts sellign pirated copies
If you would have looked, those were mostly "Unknown MySQL server host" errors. Searching for "MySQL Connection Failed: Unknown MySQL Error" yields a paltry 13 results, by comparison
that can be changed, it'll just take a lot more space for them. For those that didn't RTFA. What the rainbowcrack system is is a system that generates all the hashes for a known keyspace. Then all that is needed is a lookup in these (gigantic) tables.
Good thing programs like Trillian allow encryption of instant messages, largely defeating such a system (not only do the messages need to be scanned, but cracked and then scanned)
You misunderstand. They block connections from their network to port 25 on any machine except their mail servers. Thus any slave computers can't send out e-mail without it hopping past their servers (and likely a quick phone-call from their abuse department).
It'll be really nice to know that there are going to be tons of these little handheld devices with access to these huge dossiers on the whole population.
Right, telemarketing costs the recipients as well, but it costs the senders more because they have to hire high schoolers to call people. Spam is much cheaper for the senders than it is for the recipients. The reverse is true for telemarketing. And in the USA, there's already a "Do-not-call" list for stopping telemarketers, and if my experience is representative of others, then they actually respect that list.

Just don't conceal it.
How would you go about concealing a katana?

Nah, this is "obvious". Popups for popup blockers and spams for spamblockers have prior art here

Silly mods. I deserved a -1 Offtopic on that one. I thought this was about IMs instead of SMS. Ah well. Tsk tsk.

Actually, I believe any account that can execute code in its home directory should work. Firefox is downloadable as a zip (or was about a year ago).
Well it appears that they've just left a single static page up and taken down their php, giving a 404
