    Not only can smoking delay Alzheimer, it may also stop it completely. For example, my grandfather died of lung cancer, so he never had the chance of having Alzheimer.

    Yeah, I think that someone who's never read for example Quake Mental Hospital should get dragged out to the street and shot :)

    Yes, I'm an old school quaker.

    Besides, I don't think you have understood the reason for my original post. When I really like an album that I've downloaded, I buy it! But I don't want to pay 99 cents or any price for a fucking music file I've downloaded, at least not in the general case. I've even heard that they try preventing you from converting the file to other formats, is that true?

    No, they aren't. Some already have published CD's on good labels. Thanks for thinking you're the master of the truth :)

    Look... I know many musicians and they all download songs in the net. I've seen lots of interviews to musicians where they say they use p2p programs too. So don't try to lecture on me :)

    Most bands are happy about their songs being on the net, it makes the band more widely known. The bigger bands are already rich enough.

    If they want to make me use iTunes, they'll have to price each song at less than 0 cents...

    Or is the free porn being sponsered by paying johns? If that is the case, then thank you, SUCKERS!

    Considering that many of the porn which floats around the net comes from people who subscribe to porn services and then leak out the content, yes. Look, there are tons of people who don't care about small amounts of money! And of those, a subset is generous enough to leak the material :) Simple story really...

    I believe #2 could be interpreted either way, but you've got a point there. And here's what I think about it:

    People are free to buy porn if they want to. It's not like anyone is forcing them to buy it. Or are you one of the people who also agree with lawsuits against tobacco companies by people who say "omg you pushed this product on me and I thought it would make me immortal instead of getting me a lung cancer"? I hope you're not :)

    exploitation
    n.

          1. The act of employing to the greatest possible advantage: exploitation of copper deposits.
          2. Utilization of another person or group for selfish purposes: exploitation of unwary consumers.
          3. An advertising or a publicity program.

    Let's see:

    1- Ummm, no, porn stars aren't used to the greatest possible advantage. If they were, they'd be turned into fuel sources after their time passed :)

    2- If we interpret this definition strictly, no, since the model gains money too. And if we interpret it loosely, almost all (or all) of human relations are exploitative ones. So no luck here either.

    3- Clearly not.

    No, they don't put advters in your email. They DISPLAY targeted ads exactly like google web search does, based on the content of the mails you receive. The mail messages themselves are totally unaltered. Besides, this analysis is completely automatic so your privacy isn't breached.

    And of course, the mail messages you send don't carry the ads with them.

    Please read the three pages. A colonoscope is just a type of endoscope. "Endoscope" doesn't specifically refer to the stomach. I won't post anything else in this thread, I think I have shown you enough so that you can understand. Regards.

    Quicker than Thunderbird or Outlook?

    Depends on the speed of your computer and internet connection.

    Simpler than Thunderbird or Outlook?

    Sure.

    Better than Thunderbird or Outlook?

    Much better! It's as if you were searching the web with google!

    I already keep every mail that's not spam or duped in the replies, it's not nearly 2TB yet.

    It's not TB, it's GB.

    Plus; it's not backed up! If keeping e-mails is important, don't you think it should be backed up?

    Google employs redundant storage. I've heard that data is stored at least 3.5 times, but I'm not going to search for a source for this right now...
