I did this with Metallica. At Live Metallica you can buy and download any Metallica show on their current tour. They have FLAC versions too, and I was able to get the show that I was at. They even have CD labels and case liners and stuff in PDF form. Pretty cool.
If you're using dialup pop, then you should be retrieving only headers, and your email client should download individual messages for you instead of grabbing all of them up front. This will let you eliminate obvious spams (based on header contents.) The more thoughtful email clients put notes on attachments in the header...
I don't know of a single pop client that does this by default, and don't know if pop can do this at all. Typically imap is used for things like this.
Hmm. Just shows how opinions differ, eh? Even here on the dot.
I *still* think Broken Arrow is great - and I think Face Off is garbage... MI2 most people agree was poop - especially the stoopid motorcycle fight thing. I kinda liked WindTalkers - but it was a little slow and bland, but watchable.
No movie based on a video game has ever not sucked.
I dunno. Resident Evil was pretty good. MORTAL KOMBAT (the FIRST one) was pretty good (MORTAL KOMBAT:ANNHIALATION sucked). Tomb Raider (which was more based on a video game character than the actual video game) was good. And then there was, ah, well... Thats about it...
Come on, you don't trust the people that brought you "Super Mario Bros." and "Street Fighter" to make a good movie of "Metroid"? hehe

What does "Lots of Space" have to do with technology? You mean that scientists in urban Boston cant develop technology than someone in a suburban 1 story building with 7000 space parking lots and a 10 minute drive to go to the next building over?
If that's the case than Alaska should be #1. They have the most space - and since it is so cold people would have no choice but to sit inside and innovate... Hmmm. What about Siberia - where is all the technology from Siberia? They have lots of space there... And we all know about Soviet Russia.
That would probably cut down on the number of people cutting others off, wouldn't it? It would take only a couple before people started figuring it out... After that, only the stupid people would get blown up... Crime rates are lowest where *legal* gun ownership is highest. People are much less attractive targets when they can shoot back...
You just need a better thinking chair and a snazzy new notepad to enjoy them with... Thinking chair. Notepad. Enjoy them. Thinking chair. Notepad. Enjoy them. Thinking chair. Notepad. Enjoy them.
We Did It!
Of course Joe is better than the old guy... And as a side note, Tico is the scariest squirrel ever. And if you think they are bad on the boob toob - don't dare see them live. I still have flashbacks that cause cold sweats... And worse - when the DVDs our played on our player in our van, all I get is the sound. I know exactly how to get to the City of Lost Toys - know it by heart... Pyramid. Jungle. Lost City! (repeat)
What do you expect from someone who funded his company with the proceeds from a criminal act!
I read that whole page, and how do you get anything about them funding the project from a criminal act? They did build a "blue box" which was probably a little illegal. But they didn't make any money off of it, nor fund the company... The biggest thing I see on that page is that Steve Jobs gave Woz a hard time for coming in to work late... Get a clue, and stop bashing Jobs and Apple for no reason.
To my family... They came out to visit, they had never seen an iPod before, and they have almost zero Apple products in the city where they are from (only 1 CompUSA is the only place that sells Apple products). They all use PCs. I took them to the Apple store, and they walked out with two iPod Minis. They would buy Apple computers if Apple would get some Retail presence in New Mexico - so that they could have a place to buy software and peripherals and such....
Not that I'm against guns, but they don't help you much if your kid is choking on a piece of steak. Or if you slip in the shower and crack your head open. But of course, you can call 911 on a cell phone - so the whole thing is moot, isn't it?
But trading the evil of your landline provider for the evil of your cellular provide is hardly a win-win. But at least with Cellular you get to leave your house...
Now we just need more alarm and monitoring companies to switch to cellular service instead of landlines...
Three years, and still no major children's games. Well, there are a couple - Finding Nemo and The Learning Tree ones... But most of the "major" titles - (which means the ones that feature the characters the pre-schoolers are addicted to) - are all still OS9, even though they were released more than a year or two after OSX.
It is frustrating at the least - to keep Classic on a computer so my daughter can play "Blues Clues"... or "Dora the Explorer"...
But in every other aspect - OSX rocks - it got me to switch to a Mac. And then to buy three more of them. And then buy a couple iPods, an iSight, and a bit of software... I would say OSX has been successful, at least in *my* household. All my x86/Windows machines have since been given to Goodwill...

Doesn't beat Safari.
50% more mercury...

I don't know of a single pop client that does this by default, and don't know if pop can do this at all. Typically imap is used for things like this.
JBMail supports POP and does just that...
The 15 and 17 inch PowerBooks have the slots:
One PC Card/CardBus slot supporting one Type I or Type II card (15-inch and 17-inch models)
(near the bottom of the page, on the left, under "Expansion")
Nope. It's a way of saying "I have been collecting and taking care of my collection of CDs since the late 1980's and I now have more than 600 CDs".
Oh yea, lots of BMG and ColumbiaHouse memberships too...
The same reason there is "N'Sync".
Hmm. I actually prefer the opposite, like a laptop keyboard....
:)
Very short keytravel, and very quiet with keys close together so my fingers don't need to move very far...
I am just odd though...
It's one reason I like my Apple Pro keyboards as they feel more like a laptop keyboard than the ones that I have at my PCs at work...
Hmm. Just shows how opinions differ, eh? Even here on the dot.
I *still* think Broken Arrow is great - and I think Face Off is garbage... MI2 most people agree was poop - especially the stoopid motorcycle fight thing. I kinda liked WindTalkers - but it was a little slow and bland, but watchable.
Chow Yun-Fat and Mira Sorvino.... mmmm...

Oh my god, absolutely! I already pre-ordered the DVD for Girl Next Door. Well, OK - maybe not - but I should... Just in case they run-out...
"stuff blowing up in space, lasers, and boobs."
I *love* that movie.
Now what were we talking about again?

Just set up a directional Wi-Fi link to the house 220 yards away, and split the cost of broadband with them. Now, with WPA Wi-Fi can be very secure.
