If by flat tax you mean "everyone pays $20 tax" then that's outrageous. People who earn more money don't necessarily work harder. My grandfather worked damn hard as a butcher all his life and he worked a hell of a lot harder then other people I know who earn a lot more then he did.

Sure, they could sell your personal information, and cash in all at once, but after that, consumers would lose trust in them
How would the average user know? No-one reads the T&C. They can have buried in legal-speak that they will sell your information and most people won't ever know.
All ISPs come with something called an e-mail account. Most of them allow you to store the e-mails on your computer getting around any limits.
"Yes you google lets you search your entire e-mail." That is certainly a wow factor and one that almost made me want to go to g-mail, until I realised Thunderbird and Mozilla did the exact same thing.
"Yes but google let's you have threads" which surprisingly enough, as does thunderbird and mozilla.
"Yes but gmail let's you read e-mails anywhere" but I don't need that. I can have Thunderbird keep my e-mails in the e-mail server I use for however many days I want. Currently that's until I move it from my inbox folder (which I do when the information is no longer important and I only need it for archival purposes). I don't need archived e-mails except when I'm on my home computer.
There were two things that I was excited about with gmail. Threads and the search function. But now that I can do both, I don't care anymore.
You need guns, training and an inclination to use them in America. In the Brittish Empire (when it existed) on the otherhand you didn't need those things. Just one person who was willing to not eat.
But in the US, I would like to think that we would not stand for that. Seems silly to me that a whole country is scared of a fucking book.
I recently did a report on censorship for university and this is COMPLETELY FALSE. Banning of books is a common occurrence in America. TONS of people in America are scared of books. This really just goes to show that Americans truly do think they're the land of the free.
Wake up and smell the coffee. You're not that much better then the rest of the world. And I'll get labelled a troll for that, but it is fucking true.
Seriously. Some people abuse the moderation function (IMO). Posts that are obviously asking a serious question get modded funny by a sarcastic person, and those who feel insecure about something will fight back via modding rather then intelligent discussion.
It's ridiculous, but it's how people (ab)use their modding power.
People have been copying cassette tapes for years. They had also been copying software for years (all of my software on my Amiga was pirated). They have also been copying VHS video's for years. But it was only until a year or two before I got my DVD player that they started making copy-protection for VHS videos.
So the question is, why then? What happened then that made everyone from that point onward paranoid about copy-protection? It's like America with terrorism. Before 9/11 your average-day joe didn't care about it. After 9/11 they did care. What was the 9/11 in the music, video and software industry?
Everyone will have to do this, or else people will just stop buying DVDs from people X. Sure they might miss out on some movies, but people would rather that then not being able to own a DVD.
Also, the distributors who use these DVDs better make sure they don't distribute the same movie in VHS format, or else people will just go back to that. How this helps the distributors I'll be fucked if I know (it is possible to pirate videos, just before DVD became popular they were experimenting in copy-protection, but there would have been work-arounds).
I really don't get the point to this, this will only increase piracy. People like to own stuff they buy. If you make them think they don't own it, they won't buy it if there is an alternative (even an illegal one) available.
In Mozilla 1.7 I can't find the option to sort threads based on the last post in the thread. Is it possible to do this in either Mozilla 1.7 or Thunderbird?
In the past I've tried both, and I have seen absolutely no difference between either. Yet every release they always tout "brand new features" but I have yet to experience any that Mozilla itself doesn't have so I have stopped trying every new release, because I never see any difference between it and a previous version.
Threading in Thunderbird simply did not work and stopped me from attempting it ever again. I just checked it out in Mozilla 1.7 and it works like a beauty:)
So does threading actually work in the latest Thunderbird? If not it will be why I don't migrate to it.
I always look at the latest version of Mozilla's release notes (whether it be Firefox, Thunderbird or Mozilla) and I always ask myself "why should I upgrade?" and I always answer "I dunno."
So I ask slashdot, why should I upgrade? I have Mozilla 1.7. I use it for both e-mail and as my browser. What is new in Firefox and Thunderbird that would make me want to migrate to them instead of stick with my current browser?
I know there's a new design (woop-dee-doo) and it's faster. But is there ANYTHING else?
My ex-girlfriend constantly complained about the zero g-spot sex. Now thanks to this guy, my next girlfriend won't complain about it, I can take her to this hotel:)
they haven't even produced a service yet. They have something in BETA that is raising the standard. This is a good indication of what will happen if/when it does come out.
they asked the rock. Don't need extensive research to ask something. But I think the rock may be female, in which case it's been 4 billion years old for the past 3 billion years.

Thankyou. I have asked here before and on the Mozilla forums and googled and I couldn't find an answer :)
You need guns, training and an inclination to use them in America. In the Brittish Empire (when it existed) on the otherhand you didn't need those things. Just one person who was willing to not eat.
The second you place provisions on what you can and cannot say you no longer have free speech. You have limited speech.

Does anyone know if it has e-mail palm sync support or just address book palm sync support?

Sorry, but I just don't believe in this type of plan model so I hope any businesses wanting to go to space have a better plan.
There was an article posted above on this, and since I read that one first, THIS one is the dupe, not that one. :P
in the article? Wait. That isn't as stupid as it sounds.
For those who RTFA's (and so many complain about registering that some of you have too) you will find there was no registration required.
For those who didn't RTFA continue to post alternate links so other people can not read them.
