Good point about reinventing the wheel but I appreciate tutorials like this one when I've been wondering how to go about writing such a thing. Sometimes I want to learn how it is done more than I want to use the finished result.
Great idea. The Rocky franchise bottomed out after Drago broke him in that exhibition. I foresee dozens of Rocky sequels featuring Apollo and other members of the undead...
Now that people from all walks of life are trading files (itself not a bad thing) I don't see this genie ever being put back in the box. Somebody can always write a new client and for every person they litigate three others who have never tried it will give file trading a shot.
The RIAA should cut their losses with the high school and college age kids who will always steal (before eventually growing out of it) and concentrate on providing a better value to retain the rest of their customer base. Overhauling commercial radio to actually play new music would be a step in the right direction.
The scientist who worked on this problem was interviewed on the BBC this morning. He admitted the result was obvious but it generated a lot of interest in science which was a good thing given that most people's education in science stops at age 16.
I learned from typing class in high school, something I can't imagine existing in a school today.
And Typing Derby (AB), a type-in (natch) program for the Commodore 64. Compute!'s Gazette, February 1984. Little pi symbols gallop across the screen like horses depending on how fast you can type ASDF ASDF ASDF, etc.
Mind numbingly repetitive, sure, but I was 12 and had patience for such things.:-)
As far as I can tell it is not possible to set the view on a specific folder in Thunderbird. The columns I choose with the pulldown menu located over the scroll bar are used for all folders.
Of course, Thunderbird would then need to start remembering column preferences for each folder. This would also be a nice feature. If we can't have that then I suppose a generic "Who" column would suffice.
Every few months I like to move old messages I've read and sent into folders called "old Inbox" and "old Sent" respectively. When I view messages in "old Inbox" the Sender column displays the name of the person who sent me the message. However, when I view messages I have moved into "old Sent" the Sender column displays my name on every line.
That's why an option to display a Recipient column in the message list would be very useful.
Bouncing mail refers to sending a message back to the source to make the sender think your e-mail address no longer exists. Very handy when trying to avoid spam.
To bounce mail, if you run Windows try using the free Mailwasher.
The population is dumbed down. How it happened is more complex than just video games - the educational system played its part as well, but people are less well educated today than 25 years ago and it shows in their amusements.
Perhaps, but I think our cultural attention spans are shorter than they were 25 years ago when home computers were new. For example, with all the other possible diversions in a given day, even if the internet did not exist I could not imagine many kids taking hours to type in programs from a magazine the way we did back in the 80's.
Of course, this article could signal the beginning of a minor trend in which much more than 70 refurbished eMacs would be at stake. But that type of thinking might be too complicated for some folks to follow so I won't go there.
So what did swearing off Microsoft entail?
We looked at all the alternatives. We looked at Apple, but that's owned in part by Microsoft. (Editor's note: Microsoft invested $150 million in Apple in 1997.)
Somewhere, a man wearing a black turtleneck is going, "Doh!"

This was posted in a blog. So why are people paying attention again?
I'll probably give it a shot if I can ever talk myself into playing with compilers again. Scripting languages like PHP are hard to give up...
Yes, there are other ways to do it. Why do you feel threatened by another one?

I'd love to see ol' Borg Bill wearing a black patch over his other eye...
Maybe Microsoft has started offering their developers $20 for each security fix...

Am I wrong?

Great program. Kills spam dead.
I, for one, do emphatically support people who want to screw me. So you let them be on top, then.
Yep, and pr0n improves your eyesight...
