The absolutely scary part is you just have to read the name to know it isn't a tablet PeeCee since they are required to have the word tablet somewhere in their product name.
BS. You can always gets a proper IP address from a service that offers you reverse. It may cost you a hell of a lot more than a commodity DSL does but so what? If you want a premium service pay for it, I do as do many others.
(I am aware you may have to get an ISDN, SDSL, or even frac-T to make these feasible.)
It is more ignorance of ISPs, and persons like yourself, poster, who have caused this problem.
It isn't ignorance, checking reverse allows you to filter out fly by net setups. You seem like a really angry individual when the solution to your anger is just to send your email through your ISP or to help your ISP fix your reverse problems. In addition having a public IP address is *not* a right, instead it is something you pay for. In my case I pay quite a bit more per month for a business class SDSL so I can be within the TOS of my particular ISP.
Also since you asked I run my own mail server at home on a proper DNS setup which includes reverse. I've also been setting up servers on the net since '92 so maybe I got that whole "establishment of a mail server" thing covered?
I get a bit of spam related to domains registered through netsolutions, this is around 25 domains. At last count it was about 10 emails a week, far higher than the single email received during this study.
Domains registered with other registrars have yet to generate spam. Weird.
Actually if you run the numbers even get marginal compression of 3-7% (which is what trailers tend to get) the bandwith saving is huge.
Think of it this way, 7% of 100 meg times 250,000 downloads. It makes sense to do the compression this way thereby speeding up the slowest part of the whole trailer experience, the download.
These remotes are targetted at different crowds. I used to use a pronto (until it broke from one too many falls and required $150 fee to fix). The pronto makes no excuses about being created for the high end tech/theater crowd. The remote is complex, can be tedious to setup but has some awesome high end features.
Pronto's strength is in its ability to create complex macros. For example at my old apartment which had X-10 I had rwo of the following one button macros configured:
[DVD] - Switched to TV to component input. Switched received to DVD audio. Switched TVs aspect ratio. Powered up and issued a play command to the DVD. Dimmed the lights to 50% through the pc-x10 receiver. [SLEEP] - Switched tv off. Changed cable to classical radio. Turned off lights. Turned volume on received all the way down the up two notches. Slept for 60 minutes, turned receiver off.
This would make sense if people pattern matched to words but they don't. Take a group of people and allow them to press a button corresponding to a meaning and then show them pictures. Then do the same with words, the picture responses will be *much* faster. We are visual creatures.
In phoenix (possibly Mozilla) with the Tab Browser extensions by right clicking on the title bar of a tab you get a context menu. Under "Permissions" in that menu you can then disable plugins for that particular tab.
I have used T9. T9 is great when you ARE limited to having a phonepad only method of input.
The P800 has text handwriting capability, WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO SOMETHING STUPID LIKE T9?!@#?!@
I do a *lot* of SMS (girlfriend chat mostly) and with the P800 it is so simple and fast. While it used to take a minute or two to compose a verbose reply and my messages would be full of shortcut words ("u", etc...) since switching to the P800 all of my messages take far less than a minute to compose and NO shortcut words.
Hopefully while they are fixing your phone they upgrade your rom. Mine has a recent rom and I have only had 3 crashes, all due to 3rd party software installed on the phone.
I own one and it is no bigger than nokia phones of just a few years ago. As far as strength of case it may surprise you, having dropped mine from a bathroom counter onto a hard tile floor and watching it slide a few feet days after getting mine and it coming out with only a slight scratch.
I just ran a quick grade level analysis and writing style analysis on all the testimonials... as if it wasn't completely obvious they are probably all written by the same person.
When counting population SF is no different than any other metro area, the surrounding cities up to a certain distance (which fluctates) are included. It would make more sense to call it the "Bay Area" like our local news/people do but to the rest of the world it will probably always just be "San Francisco".
There are only 778k people in the city proper that live here. However during the day that number can peak over 1.2million (or at least it did in 2000; no telling now).
Slashdot calls itself "News" that simple blip alone is enough to require the editors to keep their opinions constrained somewhat. Sure it is okay to have a slant when calling yourself news, but some editors here, Michael especially, place very strong opinions in almost every link they post. This isn't news, this is treating the site as a personal log.
Thats all well and good if you aren't a paid employee with customers, but this site stopped being that years ago. Unfortunately, we, the slashdot readers let them get away with it time and time again while paying their salaries by adding content and viewing the ads.

Just call it "Open Source Web Browser" or "Open Browser".

My PS2 is extremely loud as well, I've often though of opening it up and replacing the fan in it. Hmph. Project.
You can not prove this statement to be true.
No it isn't, USE THE EMAIL SERVICE PROVIDED TO YOU FROM YOUR PROVIDER FOR YOUR COMMODITY SERVICE.
Jesus man, is it really that hard to understand? Why can't you simply relay your mail through your provider?

Blocking reverse is fine; make your ignorant ISP fix your service.

Uh du0d this is a site for geeks and nerds. What do we do? We fuck around with computers and technology.
Obviously some of us want to help rebuild Iraq and why not do that in the way we are best suited, by aiding with improving the tech infrastructure.
Would you suggest slashdot readers talk about farming?

The mayor of SF is going to ask the federal government for money to cover the protests from last week.

Personally I hope it goes through since up to 70% of the protestors who were arrested (depends on the day) weren't even from San Francisco.

Hope this helps.
Okay this has been grating on me for a long time.

It isn't quite the same but with a little scripting on your end you can make some pretty detailed stats of all your mail using "mls".
You have never had anything to do with running servers, that's for sure.
Neither have you if you think running a bank of servers+upkeep+admins+misc costs is only a few thousand a month for a popular online game.

Your name has been passed around as being a corporate shrill or guilty of astroturfing for either amazon or segway.
Is any of that true?

Because other people are watching your actions in the store?
