given the context of the article, the relevant price point for fastmail is the cheapest that offers spam filtering.
I'd agree with you except for the fact that signing up for this service guarantees that you will receive spam since you agree to it as a term of service. They just decide who gets to spam you. Since FastMail doesn't do that, it's already a superior service, even at the free level.

They practically killed Wordperfect by themselves, even before Microsoft took equity in them.
WordPerfect had been on its deathbed long before Corel came into the picture. Novell mismanaged it into the ground and dumped it on Corel in January 1996. By that time, Word had already supplanted WordPerfect as the word processor of choice for most professionals (with lawyers steadfastly refusing to leave their beloved WordPerfect 5.1). Corel is many things but you can't pin WordPerfect's demise on them. Novell is the culprit in that whodunit.
Dígalo mi pana. I remember when I lived there that somebody explained that Mexico was the land of mañana but that Venezuela was the land of the day after mañana. Oh well. Just get me a Malta (Regional or Polar please, none of that Malta Caracas crap) and todo estará chévere.
These days, if you order a "Coke" and they only have Pepsi products, your server will have been trained to ask "is Pepsi okay," because Coke occastionally sends reps out to look for restaurants who are substituting Pepsi for Coke orders without telling customers
While that may be the reason they ask, I appreciate the question because I'm rarely in the mood for Coke and I generally ask specifically for Pepsi. If they bring me out a Coke when I ask for a Pepsi by name I can't be responsible for the repercussions.
Didn't Pauling postulate a triple helix? IIRC, Watson and Crick found out about his soon-to-be-published paper and set about to prove or disprove his model. The built it and something didn't seem right but they couldn't put their finger on it. Finally, they realized that it was neutral. Chemical genius Linus Pauling forgot to make his DNA model an acid!
She was the X-Ray crystallographer, not the co-discoverer. She dismissed the critical DNA type B X-Ray that she took as being unimportant. Unfortunately, nobody ever told her of the critical role her image played. Nevertheless, she was NOT a co-discoverer.
Don't forget that the iBook weighs 4.9 pounds. 2 pounds at that size is quite a difference. Still, I'd probably prefer the iBook with the built-in DVD/CD-RW.
Palm is dying? You're kidding me, right? It's been close to 5 years since Windows CE was introduced. With the full force of one of the most powerful marketing and sales organizations in the world, it has still not managed to bring the PalmOS marketshare down below 70%. Palm got it right and keeps evolving its product to take advantage of new technology.
Especially since the virus didn't even debut until 12:30 AM EST on 25 Jan, according to the article. Either everybody noticed it before it was actually released or the times listed in the article are FUBAR. Either way, the Symantec spokesman is full of doublespeak.
I just sent our friend Jack an e-mail regarding this interview. I made sure to keep the tone cordial, if not academic as I don't believe that vitriol or rancor will do anything but further convince him that he is right. Anyways, here it is:
Mr. Valenti,
I just read an interview you gave to Derek Slater of the Harvard Political Review and I would like to direct your attention to several pieces of information that directly relate to statements you made in that review.
You said, in response to a question regarding fair use, "What is fair use? Fair use is not a law. There's nothing in law."
I would like you to have a look at Title 17, Chapter 1, Sec. 107 of the US Code. You may conveniently read this short section online at http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/107.html. Please comment on your statement in light of this information.
You also said, regarding media backups, "But you've already got a DVD. It lasts forever. It never wears out. In the digital world, we don't need back-ups, because a digital copy never wears out. It is timeless."
Please take a look at a recent article regarding "DVD rot" published by the Sydney Morning Herald at http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/01/31/10438045 19345.html. Again, please comment on your statement in light of this information.
Creating a new socket doesn't exactly require registering the application name
No, but it does require a process. The firewall would just have to know what process id created the socket in question. I think you can figure it out from there.

That would be my handiwork. I find that Bill's e-mail address flows from my fingers whenever I don't feel like giving out my own. I registered ol' Billy-boy with Real quite a few years ago.
So tell me, do you really expect the pig and chicken to survive as species once they are no longer of any use to man? What is harmful to the individual pig or chicken is beneficial to the species.
That's exactly my point. They make these recommendations based on logical leaps. There is not a single clinical study that demonstrates a link between increased red meat consumption and increased heart disease. In fact, the common risk factors such as high LDL and triglycerides, don't appear to be increased by red meat consumption where the HDL or so-called "good cholesterol" is increased when eating red meat. In a cruel twist of fate, a low fat diet often substitutes carbohydrates for the fat to replace the lost flavor. These excess carbohydrates increase triglyceride levels, thus increasing heart disease risk.

A better summation is would be: when we feel the law is unjust, we commit acts of civil disobedience.

Living through what will look like about 30"+ of snow in 28 days this month
Bah! That's nothing. We got that much snow in 24 hours here. . . Oh yeah, blah, blah, blah, uphill both ways, blah, blah, blah.
Better liquor that selling steel to the Nazis. Like the Bushes.
Nobody puts the smack down like Cecil.

Whatever comes with Works is most certainly not Word, and it doesn't talk to the .doc format either.
Sorry to disappoint you but Works does come with Word and Word obviously "talks" to the .doc format. See http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/ for proof.

Someday someone will make a palm os 5 color handheld with bluetooth, sdio, infrared, and headphones, and i will buy it.
You mean like the Tungsten T?
Is Amazon OK?
You will have to supply your own headphones. Let me know if you'd like some recommendations.

That number to the right would be rank, with 1 being the most popular name.

Are you talking about http://www.openafs.org? I guess I'm just karma whoring with the link since you didn't include it.
A decent client would check the data upon arrival and discard it if corrupt. In fact, several P2P apps do this already.

Hey, at least I got you to smile. ;)
I think you can swap movies on Kazza
Wow, it's a phony holiday and a P2P filesharing system! Is there anything it can't do?
What is this 'movie napster' of which you speak? Your pamphlet intrigues me and I'd like to become a member.
