Me too. I have a dozen email addresses, and they all filter down into the same gmail account.
Want to employ me? email@myrealname.com
Know me on the net? email@onlinename.net
Interested in a project I've worked on? email@projectname.com
I think this is one of the advantages of owning a few domains and having a catch-all. My email address is whatever I want it to be @domain.com. So maybe for myspace, I would use myspace@celardore.net, facebook facebook@celardore.net, etc etc. At least I can look at the headers and see which one of my registrations has sold my email address.
It's not much, but domain owning with a catchall really does help me choose who to ignore.
As an aside, I chose the name Celardore. At the time I chose it because it was unique, and a reference to a movie I enjoyed. Since then, it became quite easy to google "celardore" and find out what I was upto online. Now I use a load of pseudonymns, but I revert to Celardore when I want to say something I wouldn't mind being linked back to me.
I have a pro account on Flickr, which is nice. I use Flickr uploader and default them all to private (me only), then I sort through and adjust permissions. Some I make public, some I make family only, some friends only, and some are open to both friends & family.
The catch is that your friends & family have to register with yahoo.
My granddad is 86, and would probably be considered overweight. That said, he still lives alone. He does his own shopping, cooking, and cleaning. His house is always immaculate and he obviously eats well. Goes on about 6 holidays abroad or within Britain per year too.
They make network shares for a reason. Seriously... 30MB emails are stupid. Use appropriate tools for different jobs.
I work in accounts and some of the spreadsheets we work with are colossal, I'm talking 40MB without pivot tables etc. I had to educate the bosses that by zipping it, it was reduced to about 5MB and much more bearable to email.
When the signal is poor, it becomes next to unwatchable. Comparable with really bad codecs on the PC. With analog and a poor signal, it may have been grainy but was still watchable to a certain extent. Digital has blocks, pausing, sound artifacts and all sorts of other things that make viewing uncomfortable. If you live in the hilly areas of England, consider getting cable - oh wait, they don't offer that because of the terrain?? Oh well.
For the most part I would say you are absolutely right. On the other side of the coin though, with CTRL+ALT+DEL then task manager then the 'users' tab, I can right click a name and "remote control" their session. I have access to the managers accounts. I don't do it though, because I like my job and want to keep it. I'm just saying Citrix is horrible for usability and security.
A couple of years ago at work, the IT dept. changed all our 486s for terminals and a Citrix network. It was awful. The server and connection to said server were, and still are, buggy. Whereas before, if the network went down, we could still at least type a letter or work on a spreadsheet. Now if the network goes down (which is at least weekly) we're stuck with nothing to do. In an accounts department it is vital that we have Excel, Word, etc to do the most basic of tasks. Worst move ever.
On the plus side, I got to keep my 486 which I installed Linux on and now it runs pretty nicely.
I live in the UK, and I love being able to say I don't pay for a TV licence. I genuinely don't receive TV, and have even had a TV Licence inspector come into my home to verify this.
Which is an awful shame, because many television companies are producing quality entertainment worldwide, but I'm not allowed to view it because the BBC need the UK population to fund them directly through taxation.
*sigh* BBC, you command no respect from me. I like your news site, but as a British citizen, I don't appreciate the heavy-handed, guilty-until-proven-innocent tactics you adopt with regards to licensing. BBC, you are never going to get a penny out of me. I promise you.
I found Waldo. Again, and again, and again. I hear most the neighbourhood "found" him as well. What a dork, who goes to the beach in a hat and sweater anyways. He deserved it.
I work as a credit controller (getting my companies money out of customers hands), and I frequently hear problems about peoples 'systems'. "Oh, you didn't get the cheque? We had a system error a while back...." And so on. If I went on what I hear on a daily basis, I wouldn't trust computers at all for accountancy!
DD-WRT offers overclocking facilities, as well as boosting number of IP connections and wireless transmit power. I really recommend it to anyone with a compatiable Linksys.
I've posted about my troubles with the TV licence people. I did just a couple of days ago, get it in writing that I do not have to pay for a TV licence - even though I have a TV. I wrote a story on it here.

Just saying.
It's just a shame Dark Alex has retired.

Just another reason why schools and public authorities should be adopting open alternatives.
I believe it has something to do with a 'dot' over the letter I being missing in US passports or drivers licenses. I forget which one.

This made me think... I cannot tell the difference on screen between a capital i, and a lowercase L. I l i l i I L.
A computer could easily read the html and spot the difference.

Do I miss TV people ask. No, I have bittorrent.

We don't have the right to bare arms here in the UK per se, but I just do it anyway. Too hot for long sleeves.
You could always install the Slashdotter extension for FireFox. You could even go wild and set your theme to OMGPonies every single day!

we do have separate machines that are sandboxed that they can use for surfing "work-unfriendly" sites.
So long as pr0n is kept to lunchbreaks?
The summary says different.

I did not RTFA.
My Australian is rusty.
Give him a good going over with some wire wool and light oil, that should fix him right up!
