  1. Re:That gives us hope that we'll get IMAP on Gmail Adds Features · · Score: 1

    They dont just show on the subject line. Below the menu on the left is a labels section, you can click on those to view mails in a specific label - like folders. This makes the inbox a global view of your emails, which you would not be able to do with folders (afaik). Using filtering (in options) gmail can automatically add mails to labels for you.

  2. Re:mplayer to the rescue! on New Hitchhiker's Episodes Available Online · · Score: 1

    There is a separate link for 2.0, although i tihnk it is real media only. I would imagine if you want to listen to the 5.1 in 2.0, you just rely on it being downmixed to 2.0 by wmp. The 5.1 sounds pretty good though, i guess being mostly talking and not music it doesnt matter that its 192k.

  3. Re:Serious business people use AOL? on AOL Moves Beyond Single Passwords for Log-Ons · · Score: 1

    I suspect this is something AOL users would be interested in. I mean, the "slashdot crowd" are not the ones handing out passwords for chocolate, its the AOL users. And seeing as most websites offer options to send your password (or a new one) to your email, this could be quite useful at protecting them.

    Only problem i really see is most users (that i know) use the same password on all their sites, so the RSA gadget would protect the aol account, but not for example paypal. Its still a step in the right direction though, and like SPF is something that could really be helped along by AOL saying they use it. But will users really want to have to carry a bunch of RSA units with them?

  4. Re:How does it work ? on Linux USB-Driver: initial release of vp-usb-lock · · Score: 1

    No one would be able to log in except for you - I think he meant putting the wireless usb receiver inside the case, not the separate transmitter that you would still carry around with you.

  5. Re:In the UK on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 1

    Thats right, if you want to watch even the free over-the-air channels you need a license. The BBC has no commercials, except the odd short clips between programs advertising other programs on the bbc, and is fully funded by the tv license. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/info/licencefee/ for more information. Paul

  6. Re:Redundancy in filming American competitors on NBC Aims For Stability Through Redundancy In Athens · · Score: 2, Informative

    On the topic of BBC, NBC may have a nice redundant setup but its not like the BBC dont either: http://www.bbctechnology.com/news40.htm Paul

  7. british advertising standards on Stopping Overseas Fax Spam? · · Score: 1

    You could try contacting the ASA (Advertising Standards Authority), they may be able to help. While i havent read the british code, I think fax/email sent from britain to the us still falls under the ASA's jurisdiction, and is still illegal if you have not consented. You can find the code here, http://www.asa.org.uk/the_codes/downloads/Bcasp_11 .pdf , but it is probably easier to just phone and ask. Paul
