How about bookmarked tab groups? That's kind of handy. Personally, I like having more windows hidden away from the annoying taskbar clutter. Grouped items on the taskbar just annoys me mostly.... but I don't mind tabs in a separate location. And if I really want to flip through tabs by keyboard, Ctrl-Tab isn't any harder than Alt-Tab. For that matter, you can also install mouse gesture support or something similar, and between that and Ctrl-Tab you'll never have to click on the tabs themselves again.
Bleh. If you have any idea how to include images without them looking like total crap, give me a shout. Going htmldoc->ps->hylafax, I've yet to work out how to make images come through without being filled with semi-random black dots. (Yes, I've checked the image quality/shifted it to completely b&w, etc... it's not just that. There's some note in the faq about using b&w only, but that didn't help any...)
Insulted and scammed? Too bad, I kinda liked that movie. The plot was a bit cheesy/predictable, but the overall feel of the movie... well, as far as disaster movies go, I liked it a hell of a lot better than Armageddon/etc.
Of course, I didn't really pay much attention to previews/media beforehand.
This is completely unrelated, but I happened to catch Zoolander last night and that just reminded me of the "freak gasoline fight accident" for some reason. "These kinda things just happen, you have no control over them!" ha ha...
Being fully patched isn't good enough when there are holes without patches. I've had IE install various hotbar types of junk without my permission before there's been any type of patch out. Those ones were annoying (well, it wasn't hotbar, but amazingautosearch or some junk like that, etc, gah).
Well, no idea how effective they're being or not... but just to nit-pick, just because you received more spam doesn't mean the total hasn't dropped. Who knows, maybe someone took a dislike to you this week and signed you up a few places.:P
That looks like one insane storm.... of course Darwin got some pretty insane ones too. My mother used to tell me it was the lightning capital of the world. I'm not sure where she got that from, it doesn't look like it from the different lightning maps linked through all these comments. Ah well.
Man, what's up with the mods today. Two non-troll posts modded troll within a few posts of each other. Oh well, that's/. for you...
What you said is exactly right, though it's still affecting the existing funds a little as well. My account had been at around $20 but it looks like they rolled some stuff back since it was back up to $50 last I looked...
That's funny, I haven't had any trouble using my debit card at any point during this week.... although, they're still screwing with stuff. My payroll from last night still hasn't gone through, and my account is back up to around $50 rather than the $20 it was at a few days ago.
It's not available on Canadian vehicles? Weird, I thought my Golf had that... Maybe it's just "most" Canadian vehicles, or maybe I'm mistaken and it flashes the regular beams, but I could have sworn it flashed the brights
Interesting... it would be nice if my Golf TDI had that central-locking glowplug warming feature. For that matter, while I'm sure it's a vast improvement over the old diesels, it still has issues with truly cold starts compared to gasoline engines.:(
Frankly, my diesel didn't like starting up during the worst parts of this last winter in Calgary, and that's *with* the block heater. Actually, there were a few days I couldn't get it started at all. "New" vehicle too...
Hmm, I was piping it to spamassassin but I'll have to give spamd/spamc a try. I just didn't see any note of that when I was looking around and found some pages on integrating it with evolution.
Thanks for the info... and actually, as a side note... I was looking into the labelling thing, I can't remember how to label email offhand so I had a glance at the evolution site. I notice they have some evolution 2.0 pictures up. It appears that they're going to finally have something built in to deal with spam, since it there are "Junk"/"Not junk" buttons. That's more what I was thinking of/wishing for.
Well, using Gentoo Linux and evolution you don't really need to do too much in the way of configuring... I just emerged the package and added a piped filter rule to evolution. Unfortunately, it didn't seem very usable to me... no easy way to train it from within evolution, and it was taking like one to three seconds per message to process, which is kind of frustrating when your account tends to receive 80+ spams a day. (I know, that's still fairly minor, but that gives me like a 100:1 spam to real mail ratio.)
Hmm, completely off topic, but it's funny how 3/4 of the time when I run into pages on mud stuff, KaVir shows up somewhere in it. I just find that mildly amusing... too bad I bore of muds too quickly to make anything like Godwars.:P
Well, I would guess that depends on where you're calling (how many places?) and the cost of the asterisk compatible VoIP phones. You could have one central Asterisk PBX and all the remote locations with net connections could have VoIP phones to use it... of course that solution wouldn't be as good for the remote locations being able to call internally. In that case maybe you could set up multiple Asterisk PBX's, one for each location with multiple VoIP phones.... the costs for setting up a Asterisk PBX are reasonable - I'm not sure about the phones themselves though.
It isn't really that naive. Did I say always? You conveniently ignored where I said "There may be worries for some situations, but for the majority of people...".
I didn't say it was impossible for them to go after you and try to get you for something from your email. I said in the majority of cases it's not an issue. How many people do you know who've had all their email/records/etc requested by a goverment/whatever agency? I've heard of it happening for companies doing shady things, but I'm personally standing at a solid "0" for your average citizen.
So once again, if you're really paranoid, sure... go ahead and worry about it, but you'd best not bother having any type of distance correspondence at all then. If they really want to get you, with the right power they can eventually get through pretty much any type of encryption/precautions/etc (well, maybe not quantum? heh). And of course, even face-to-face contact can be eavesdropped.
... with Gmail or Yahoo you have none other then to bend over and hope you deleted anything that could harm you.
How about not emailing/doing stuff that could provide evidence/harm you in the first place?
There may be worries for some situations, but for the majority of people... don't break any laws/talk about it in email, and there yah go - no concern.
I used to have that problem. I have an extension jack for the speaker out and mic at the front of my case.
One day when I had the case open and was moving stuff around, I noticed it made noise whenever I bumped the cable for said jacks. Once removed, the noise went away.... probably not the same thing in your case, but gotta love unshielded cables.
I remember seeing a fairly thorough review before of anti-bacterial surfaces for childrens toys and how they were mostly horribly ineffective. I'm not sure if any of them used Triclosan in that review, but after seeing this I'm not sure I would want anything resembling that around children.
Right, and did you miss the PVR acronym and the words live streaming video? A PVR box sitting and recording TV shows constantly will fill up that space just fine. 1/2 TB is a fair bit of space, but you don't have anything resembling credible evidence to base that attack on.
Ahh, you don't need this kind of technology for oddities like that. On a few different occasions I've had a professor with a wireless mic make a trip down the hall like that while neglecting to turn it off. Fun (horrifying?) stuff.

Providing it wasn't something new and somebody discovered it in time....

Well, I don't know about earlier versions, but 2k's version is not 256 limited. Of course, anything above 256 gets kind of laggy unless it's local...

"the only built-in feature unsupported is the internal 56 Kbps modem,"
That's right in the blurb....
