It's not a filter, it's doesn't delete or forward email. It SORTS the email you receive. Their engine may or may not work that well, but I believe it's an idea whose time as come. Popular Science had a write-up a few months ago about the need for something like this. The idea is to train an AI to know what's important to you so if your busy, you'll only get informed of important, high-priority messages and not bothered with the newsletters. At work we use Groupwise, and I have Notify running in the system tray to tell me when new emails arrive, but I wish I could set it up to not inform me when I receive the daily company newsletter, I already know that will be in my inbox at 10:30.
Basically, what this is designed to do, is sort your email for you, so you can start off with the important emails first, think of it as a advanced form of sending priority emails, except that the receiver is the person who decides what needs priority.
From screen-shots, it looks like SNARF also has the ability to arrange emails by thread, like gmail does.
I've built some bigger (non-IKEA, granted) DIY furniture kits, like a wardrobe and an entertainment center, and they both well over 10 manhours to complete. The simple fact of the matter is that the large stuff needs space to work on easily, and the stuff usually gets put places where there isn't a lot of room.
I don't think anyone's really aguing that that can't be the case, but somewhere along the evolutionary flowchart, there has to be a common ancestor. It's more likely than not that the common ancestor was a homnid instead of different homnids evolving seperately from each other from non-homnid stock.
From TFA: ".The concept for Makers grew out of the success of O'reilly's quarterly do-it-yourself (DIY) magazine, Make: Technology on Your Time."
The book is a spinoff of the magazine published by the same publisher. Of course, when Microsoft sells a book about Windows, that could just be a coincidence too.
Yes there is. People who want to get away from traffic, noise, and pollution. I have a buddy who sold his car and moved to New York. More power to him. The town I've spent most of my life in has a population of 6,000 now, and I want out, way too many people for my taste. Five years ago, we only had "bad" traffic on the weekends when the farmers came into town to do their shopping. Now the traffic's bad everyday. No thank you.
In rural areas, there aren't grocery stores every few blocks. Have you ever BEEN to a true rural area? You know the places were the population per square mile is in the double digits or less.
And even if there was this perponderance of gorccery stores in rural America, how do you carry $100 worth of grocceries back to your house? And how do keep the milk, meat, and other perishables from going bad walking back in the 90 degree August heat (and that's in NJ!)
serious question - have you ever heard of 'delivery'?
Many people enjoy self-reliance. From car-repair to furniture building to growing vegetables, if I can do it myself, I'm not going to pay someone to do it for me. I'm not going to have someone deliver something to me unless I can't do it myself. And with good reason. Around here, when you have something like a gas stove deliveried, Sears gives you a 6 hour time-table for when they will arive, will not belive you when you tell them it won't fit through the front door, they have to go around to the back, and leave trash all over the driveway when they leave. Why would anyone pay another person to treat them with contempt?
Exactly. I subscribe to/. RSS just to see if anything interesting was posted over night, but mostly I use RSS feeds to get updates for blogs that only have posts once a week.
I admit that I'm still using Norton and WinAMP for largely the same reason that Teir-1's still ship with IE as default, haven't made the less mind-share + a bit of reluctance to change.
But that is changing. At home, as my Norton AV subscriptions have been expiring, I've been switching over to AVGFree. I'll probably start installing AVG Pro by default next year (at this late date, not likely to have another sale in 2005). I'm not farmiliar with RealPlayer Enterprise, I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the tip!
At the office I work at (a government agency, of course) we just print out #10 envelopes. If something needs to go out in a larger envelope, we just tape to secure the #10 to the larger envelope. If your really worried about the tape falling off, just buy a bunch of those clear document pouches like they use for UPS, and stick the #10 envelope in there. Those pouches don't come off without someone meaning to take it off, and then not easily.
really simple solution that I tell my non-technically inclined relatives. Check the link. Move the mouse over the link and see what it says in the status bar. If it says the internet address is something with a bunch of numbers after the http:/// then it's not a legitamite site.
There are going to be a VERY small number of sites that this isn't true, but these kinds of sites are unlikely to be anything that most people are going to be ever needing to use.
Well, it's her cable service and her internet and phone service, but I'm repsonsible for roughly a quarter of the household bills, and between that and my technical experience, my parents usually defer to me for most decisions regarding things like TV and internet.
As a small system builder, I've been doing this since Firefox 1.0.1
When I sell a machine, I install the latest version of Windows, firefox, WinAMP, Norton AV, and OO.o (unless they "upgrade" to MS Office) and set firefox & WinAMP as defaults. I also offer a "bonus" CD with competing products such as Opera, RealPlayer, MusicMatch, and iTunes, and clear, conside directions on how a user would uninstall the software on the computer and replace it with what's on the CD. I also make sure the latest patches, updates, drivers, and virus definitions are installed.
Of course, I also sell linux boxes priced at the cost of Windows and Norton less than the Windows boxes. For those I just deliver the machine completely clean.
Could you provide links for documentation on this and the programs you use? I'd be willing to give this a try. I get 1 3/4M D / 1/4M U on my ADSL, and I'd love to turn it into 1 1/2M D / 1/2M U for better response when I'm email photos and do FTP transfers
Increasingly, homes with broadband are connecting more than one computer to it, and the internet is being used by more than one person at a time. On a given rainy weekend in my house, you'll likely see me sending out email, blogging, and other things I like to do online in my free time, my brother playing runescape and chatting with his friends, my sister looking up new recipes to try out for her exams at culinary school, and even my mother reading dozens of fanfics for her favorite TV shows. Maybe not a single one of us needs a particularly fast connection for what we're doing, but when we're all online, it adds up.
And if Verizon comes up with a decent IPTV offering, I'll drop Comcast in favor of it in no time flat.
Actually, it's a pretty undeiable fact that these chemicals ARE present in that solar system BEFORE the planets have formed (because the chemicals are there and the planets are not).
Just because it's possible that the theory is not true in all cases, this certainly supports that the theory is true in at least some cases.
These chemicals were found in a dust cloud orbiting a young star. No planets have yet condensed out of the cloud. As such, the chemicals are there before the planets, like the theory says.
No, not at all. The other story was about the discovery of acetylene on Titan, a moon orbiting Saturn, which is, of course, in our own solar system. Thise new article is about the discovery of acetylene and hydrogen cyanide in a dust cloud orbiting a young star. If discovering the same chemical in two different places makes a dupe, then reporting on proccessor advancements, or updates on relevent lawsuits (like the lego's one) must be dupes too.
By the time I was in college and interested in such things, Netscape was also free. I had both Netscape and IE installed and with each update I would evaluate both. Netscape won out for a long time, but that changed when Netscape 6 came out. That was so horrible and bloated I decided I'd never use it again. I used IE exclusively until my brother turned me on to Firebird 0.7.1

Actually, IIRC, lunar dust tends to hover over the regolith due to some combination of the low gravity and static charges in the dust.

Or just use the answer sheet to study. The exam you took, and the stolen exam had to cover the same material.

Agreed. I'd help fund the $100 laptop project by being able to buy them at twice the price.

shouldn't that be "to boldly glue what no man has glued before" ?

Based on the limited information in your post, your computer would peak ~300W
I guess the other half of it then it to turn off javascript in the email client, like Thunnderbird does by default

Or at the very least 1.0.7 which has been the latest 1.0.x version out for a while now.

Actually, this situation is more like saying we have a theory that radioactive substances glow, and we find a glowing radioactive substance.
