If that ever shifts in the other direction, as I mentioned, nothing is really preventing me from just dropping google.
If that ever shifts you can drop Google only for future emails.
When the shift comes (e.g. sudden government interest in your person) there will be much information at Google already you may not want to share: who your friends are, business contacts, personal views,...
I live in Austria, Vienna and I can filter my paper spam. Its not 100% and you have to know how it works but it goes like:
1) put "no adverisment" sticker to my door
2) talk with post service that no sendings without my name are allowed
3) sign to the "robinson list"... companies which send advertisment to persons (with names not like to "a household" like 2) have to check it.
It takes some time and an once effort but is very effectiv. Until now I didnt need to enforce these things but I am pretty sure I could. Now I receive one unwanted advertisment once a week (mostly at my door) and thats nothing in comparsion to people who didnt take these steps.
Your main complaint seems to be "There's not a button for it," but there -is- a button for it. That button is called "filters" and is there for the times when you can't find the "Easy Button".
easy... I understood his "complaint" more like why is it possible to do it with POP and not with IMAP. I was wondering myself and didn't found an answer. I also find this one annoying especially because this "Easy Button" exists for POP and it took me a while to figure out that this feature isnt available for IMAP... I found it somewhere in the documentation but with no reason why.
Like the parent poster I like using Thunderbird, its ok that it has some flaws and I see no harm in discussing them.
Besides, does anybody know why you can use the global inbox feature with POP but not with IMAP in Thunderbird?
I've been using databases for personal use for years. Started with Windows/VB6/MS-Access (yeah I know but everybody has to start somewhere) and ended up with Linux/Java/PostgreSQL. It began with the little thought that a database would be nice to archive and connect all my little lists (personal address book, jobs, projects, institutes, journeys, books i read,...) and it grew and grew.
I'ver learned a few interesting things:
- Organizing your data in a database makes lists go 3D. I now can see connections (with the right db-architecture and SQL-knowledge) that I couldn't have seen with looking at lists.
- Almost all of the tables are connected to the list of people I know (journeys I made with friends, books someone advised or borrowed me, money I owe or lend, projects/jobs I did with other peoples...). I suspected something like this in the beginning but it was fascinating to see how centered the contact-table ended up.
- Although it took quite a time it was worth it because I use it almost at a daily bases to look things up.
- Instead of having less lists outside the db I have many more. Their number exploded but at the same time I learned so much about structuring my infos, that they are still manageable and useful (with spreadsheets)... it's like an external harddrive for my brain - faster and much more secure against loss of information.
I have to admit I can't imagine living and working without my omniscient database anymore... maybe that's one of the reasons why I feel so at home at/.
im a programmer and when working on larger projects i cant keep all the details in my head. the solution for me is to write everything down and keep them in lists (workhour-lists, todo-lists, next version features-lists, problem-lists, idea-lists,...). this alone would not help a lot but i devoloped a system to arrange this lists and usually i find things when im looking for them not through memory but through logical organisation.
my point is that "the capability your brain-cache" (nonscientifically spoken) is just a factor. how you use it and what you do if it isnt sufficient... thats what i think is intelligence.
is code that contains no bugs at all infinitely much better than code that contains a single bug which hardly ever occurs?
even if i consider this theoretical question i think it depends on the fact what the software is used for. i am with you when we talk about a mediaplayer or a game, but if we talk about surgical or airplanecontrol software my view changes radical.
i'm not sure, if its just your current view of your situation, or you made an "unlucky" decisions a few years ago.
in my opion, as long as you are not rich enough, making a decision about education should be about a career you can live on AND is a matter of interest to you. so... even though current circumstances eliminates the earnig-perspective (which is not an easy one... i know), it shouldn't feel like "wasted so much time, effort and money" because you spent these learning interesting stuff - you could have done worse.
In line with fasting, people just might try giving up their little personal evils, and maybe we could all live with a little less government, a little less war,... I dunno.
transfer John's thoughts to that clone. Of course that requires very advanced brain knowledge to "read" and "write" a brain
no - its not possible. its not like your brain is a matrix and you can read/write it like a harddisc. its more that neurons grow and connect themselve depending on what input/output you do. example: if you were raised up in absolute darkness your eye-neurons and your optic-relevant brainareas (mainly located in the metencephalon) will never develop and degenerate... so a better thougt would be to implant ones brain in his double...
but the important question remains - how and where are our memorys located. it is still unknown (though some motion-memory were located in the cerebellum). so it is possible that our whole body represents our experience - hence maybe a braintransplantation would not do the trick either.

You mean basics like basic mathematics?

I just tried that ... didn't had the chance to write much because the form commits if you press return in the comment-textfield ... losers.

The attack was carried out by misconfigured BIND servers.
i didnt read that in the article so how do you know? besides, last time i checked UltraDNS uses non-BIND name server software.
Reserve corporal punishment for "you ain't the boss of me!". It will come. Whack 'em. They'll get over it.
So that is your way to show them that you are their single biggest gift? Sounds more like a helpless course of action of one who doesnt know better.
