That's why I have this in my sig- Imap for Gmail.. Imap is way better for gmail(and every other mail service) than pop3. As someone mentioned in this thread- fastmail.fm is good for IMAP, but it has monthly bandwidth limitations.
Interesting article. Point is.. my father runs a heart foundation...in India. Some hospitals are pushing treatment regimens that augment standard medicine with yoga and other forms of traditional Indian healing.
The foundation's speciality? Non invasive heart treatment. No operations. Not even to test the heart blockage. 3-d cartography is used for that. This foundation is mainly for patients whose heart condition has detiriorated due to lifestyle abuse(bad diet, no exercise, alcohol) and/or age. No surgeries are conducted. This treatment takes 2-6 months(depending on the severity of the heart blockage.)
The foundation does not treat emergency patients, patients with genetial heart defects(eg- holes, tears..) Right now western patients are few. Most of the foreign patients are from the mideast/south east asia.
The reason this treatment is non-invasive is because by-pass surgery costs a lot of money(for Indians) and health decreases after bypass(it is a major operation.) So in 4-6 years the heart again starts having problems. The non-invasive treatment is longer but aims for a more permanent solution. Also, moderate changes have to be made to the diet and lifestyle(which would have to be done anyways after a bypass.)
Battle Over Next DVD Format Ko Sasaki for The New York Times By KEN BELSON Published: December 29, 2003
TOKYO, Dec. 28 - When Hisashi Yamada pulls back his bow, he thinks of only one thing: Hitting the bull's-eye 92 feet away.
"When I concentrate on the target," said Mr. Yamada, a champion archer who demonstrates his skill dressed in the traditional blue-and-white hakama, "I forget about everything else."
In his regular job, Mr. Yamada, a 60-year-old electrical engineer, is putting that same single-minded focus to work for the Toshiba Corporation, which is battling like a Japanese samurai warrior of old in a fight to the finish over whose format will be used in the next generation of DVD's.
The discs, which have been under development for several years, will hold four to five times more digital video and audio data than those now on the market. They are needed because broadcasters and movie studios are planning to take advantage of the spread of high-definition television screens to produce more digital programming with multitrack sound and much better resolution.
The new discs and their players will not be widely available until at least 2005, but already the world's largest electronics, computer and entertainment companies are embroiled in a multibillion-dollar fight over whose technology will become an industry standard.
The arguments are in many ways reminiscent of the Betamax-VHS showdown in the 1970's and the clashes over digital audiotape, compact discs and the original digital videodiscs released in 1997. As in those battles, technology is just the starting point for debates filled with emotion and industry politics.
Beyond the technical details like tracking speed and tilt is a serious tussle over how to divide - and protect - the billions of dollars in royalties from the licensing of this technology and the content sold on the discs. Also at stake is an effort by electronics makers to prevent emerging Chinese rivals and well-established Silicon Valley computer makers from making significant inroads into the home entertainment business.
"This is a very intense conflict over intellectual property," said Warren N. Lieberfarb, a driving force behind the development of the original DVD format. It has the added overlay, he said, "of the Japanese, Korean and European consumer electronics industries fearing China's aggressively emerging consumer electronics industry as well as the PC industry."
At the technological level, the combatants are divided roughly into two camps. Under Mr. Yamada's leadership, NEC and Toshiba have formed a group that has developed the HD (high definition) DVD, a disc that is 0.6 millimeter thick and made with machinery similar to that used for today's DVD's. On the other side is the 10-company Blu-ray Group, led by Sony and Matsushita, whose best-known brands are Panasonic and JVC. That group has developed a disc only 0.1 millimeter thick that can hold more data but needs additional investment to be produced. Information on the discs can be overwritten after it is recorded, something that is not possible with the HD DVD's now.
At 12 centimeters in diameter, both discs are similar to today's offerings, though Sony's discs are protected from fingerprints, dust and scratches by square plastic cartridges when not in use. The HD DVD group has developed a single lens that emits red and blue rays to read both current and next-generation discs. The Blu-ray machines require two separate lenses.
While the discs are still at least a year away from mass production, both sides are expected to be out in full body armor trying to win new allies at the big Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Jan. 8 through 11, where they are planning to show prototypes of their devices.
There are many battles left to fight, though, before these new DVD's hit the shelves, and it is entirely possible that the camps will never reach a consensus, forcing consumers, retailers, movie studios and others to adapt, at least ini
I doubt you even need a mit.edu address. In 2000/01 I was at another university and I could access news.mit.edu and another mailing list(mit.edu itself) where mit'ians sold their stuff. But in this mailing list, a majority of items were futons, couches, cars etc. Not computers. Maybe computer sales were a seperate internal mailing list. Not sure if it was Reuse as the granparent stated.
You're partly right though, most univs(incl mine) allow only their internal ip's to access usenet.

Gmail Adds Features
·
· Score: 3, Informative
My friend runs this IMAP and with the wording "It's free during the test", its given hope that google will implement IMAP(as a pay service) when it launches.
Brin talked about Imap for gmail in april but after that it seems there has not been talk about it at google. The most important features are in this order- IMAP, folders and retrieval of mail from other accounts to gmail.
There are other feature requests which you can check here
Can this functionality be switched off by the customer/dealer?
What software supports it now? Are PC manufacturers going to be flooded with calls that their computer crashed, its stopped working etc? Is the software maker or computer manufacturer responsible for those calls?
Stop linking to stupid articles to prove your point. It doesn't make a damn difference to what I stated.
Let me ask- If India's cryogenic engine technology was/is ready why the fsck does the Indian Space Research Org STILL have to rely on the Ariane rockets to take Indian satellites(INSAT series) into geo-stationary orbits during 2004,2005 AND 2006?
The INSAT satellites are too heavy even now for India's cryogenic engines. That begs the question If the INSAT satellites are too heavy, how the heck does ISRO expect to send rockets to the moon?
The cryogenic engine rockets are only capable of small loads. ISRO launched a rocket in 2002 or 2003 that carried an experimental payload. The payload was some unimportant satellite(wouldn't matter if it failed or succeeded). The rocket was sent up mainly to test the cryogenic engines. The rocket was successful but supersizing is a completely different engineering nightmare.
If the ISRO is capable of taking a rocket to the *moon*, why can't it take Indian satellites 36,000km above the earth? Why does it have to rely on the Ariane?
In another comment in this thread I mentioned about the Chinese space program. As a first step in their space program, they sent a manned rocket around the earth. Only then are they planning further missions. This was the case with the US and Russian space programs too.
India was denied cryogenic engine technology(for the heavy satellites it launches(which is currently done by Ariane x) in 1992/3 by Russia because of the dual use potential.
So India started developing its own cryogenic technology. It was supposed to be ready by 1999. Now, 12 years later, it is still not completely ready. Its gotten there 60-70 % but there is still a ways to go.
Unless you see an actual launch in 2007 of this moon mission I would be skeptical.(Forget moon mission, sending a man into orbit itself will be a big deal for India, moon mission is a far off dream(pun intended.))
China took a long while to send a man into orbit. India is going to take an even longer time to achieve that. 2007 isn't even that far away when talking about time frames for space programs.
And finally, when the heck were space programs within on close to their budget? 88 million? More like 500-900 million $. Until then its speculation, speculation and more speculation. Geddit?

Reality speaks for itself. So RTFA.
1992+12= 2004.
http://www.flonnet.com/fl1809/18090140.htm. Ok?
I'm not confusing it with anything. India's space programs are not on budget or on time too.
If it was, why would the cryogenic engine program be so off schedule? Something that SHOULD have been ready by 1999 is NOT yet ready even NOW.
Do you send a moon mission without successfully completing an manned/unmanned orbital mission around the earth itself?
I mentioned the manned mission because that was what China accomplished last year BEFORE it undertakes moon missions(manned/unmanned).
And for the costs and time frame- I stand behind my statements.
Why?
India was denied cryogenic engine technology(for the heavy satellites it launches(which is currently done by Ariane x) in 1992/3 by Russia because of the dual use potential.

IMAP for Gmail
Yeah, I was surprised at first too when I heard about it from a friend who runs this site-
IMAP for Gmail.
Here's the screenshot(2 days old) for the month of Sep.
Finally; one comment that makes much sense.

If you have a gmail account, you might want to read this.
I came across this link 2 days back. Instead of all these gmail notifiers, just implement IMAP and be done with it.
The FAQ on that page makes for an interesting read.
