I've had similar problems. One thing you can do is to create filters to send emails from those sites you don't use directly to trash. Or unsubscribe if you get repeated emails from a mailing list. With a little work, you should be able to clean up your inbox.
I'd also take measures to make sure he can't log into your Gmail account. Change your password to something very strong and turn on two-factor authentication.
With all the warrantless border searches happening, I wondered the same thing recently. Then I thought of another solution that would do the same thing. Something that is already built into smartphones.
I have my iphone set to wipe after 10 invalid attempts. So the next time I cross the border, I'm going to enter 9 invalid attempts before I arrive at the border crossing. If ask for my passcode, I'll supply an invalid code; bam it's wiped first try!
My ISP doesn't offer IPv6 yet, so wanting to try it anyway I set out on a mission to get IPv6 running on my home network.
Since I had been running DD-WRT on my Linksys router/WAP, I thought would be easy. Upgrading to the latest version of DD-WRT, I learned that most of the editions don't support IPv6, so I had to change to the VoIP version of DD-WRT to get IPv6 support. After that I ran into many DD-WRT related problems and bugs. There is a very annoying problem with Dnsmasq cutting out, radvd doesn't start upon boot when you check the box (so I had to add a custom start command), there is no GUI way to configure static IPv6 leases, ip6tables isn't included in any DD-WRT build, and the web interface dies and won't restart after running a few days (although the router keeps running okay) -- just a general DD-WRT problem not IPv6 specific.
I ended up scraping DD-WRT as my router (WAP only now), and setup a real Linux box as my firewall/router. That was much easier and fighting with DD-WRT.
Maybe OpenWRT is better, and I may try that someday.
I can't see either DD-WRT or a custom Linux firewall as an option for upgrading the general masses to IPv6. The big ISP's (and their tech support people) are going to have some serious work ahead of them!:-)
I bought of the first Apple Airport Extremes (10/100 ports) too. Originally I had to reboot it every few days. I gave up and switched to DD-WRT on an old WRT54G, which worked great (except no 802.11n).
Recently my WRT54G died and I switched back to the Airport Extreme. I upgraded it to the latest Apple firmware, and now it's been running for weeks without a reboot. It appears the new firmware has solved some problems.
Where I lived previously, my phone number was one digit off from a popular delivery pizza place. In the evenings I got quite a few calls from people wanting to order a pizza. A lot of the calls were from the same drunk people.
My solution was simple, I started answering my phone with the name of the pizza place, and TOOK ORDERS! People would call back in 30-60 minutes asking where their pizza was, so I appoligized and offered them a free pizza to be delivered right away. Then I unplugged my phone and went to bed.
The serious side of this story is after a few days of taking orders, I rarely got another call from someone wanting to order a pizza.
This was over 25 years ago. I wonder if there are skeletons of people in homes still waiting for their pizza?:-)
I agree it's a great series, but am I the only one that has a problem with the label "original series"? Sure they made some changes from the original show, but it's still a rehash of an old series. They didn't come up with the idea for the series, so I don't consider it to be "original".
BTW, I also have a problem with the labeling of "reality series" since the ones I've seen are as far from "reality" as you can get!:-)
I've also used a Samsung 4900 phone with Linux without a problem. I turn off graphics in my browser to save bandwidth so Sprint doesn't get upset.
As far as the Sprint PCMCIA connection cards, I borrowed and tried both models they offer on Linux a few months ago. The cheaper card worked fine, Linux saw it as a PCMCIA modem (just dial #777). The more expensive card couldn't be recognized under Linux. Sorry, but I don't remember the model numbers of the cards. FWIW, the cards seemed faster and lower latency than going through my 4900 phone (but of course, that service costs more).
I agree that a *GOOD* 100Mb/s switch makes a BIG difference over a cheap one. I recently upgraded my home network to a good switch and could immediately tell the difference.
If the Cisco 2924 is out of your price range (even used), I recommend the HP Procurve 408 switch - (8) 10/100 ports.
I added the "cutter" program to the CVS for Devil Linux last week. There should be beta Devil Linux ISO's containing "cutter" appearing on the FTP site shortly.
I've tried submitting an enhancement to the Everybuddy IM package by sending it to the developers and posting it on their mailing list both, and have been completely ignored. No reply what so ever. I would have a least liked to see some kind of reply, even if it was: your patch sucks.
This is my first attempt to submit a patch to a GPL project, but I've been a programmer for more than 20 years. It doesn't give me a good first impression of how the open source community works. I guess I'll keep applying my patch manually every time a new release comes out...:-(
