Sure. That is the problem. But how often do you really find yourself looking for emails from more than a couple months ago. I have never been disappointed about not having mail/email from that long ago. But, then again, I work hard not to over archive. I just never find the time to do it properly which means it takes me longer to find it than it is worth.
8 years worth of email? Really? I wonder what would happen if you needed to import all of that into Outlook.
You could always try starting with Thunderbird today and use it for all new emails. If you find that you need any old emails, you could move those ones as you find out that you need them.
After a few months, you would never need those old ones.
Or is it possible to maybe export only a year's worth or a few months at a time instead of all 8 years?
How do you know they are after them and not us? How do you know where they draw the line between them and us?
If they say they are not allowed to do something, but then you find out they were doing it some of the time anyway, how can you really be comfortable that they are not targetting you?

iTunes is Malware?

There's a big difference between accepting DRM music and this. I knew up front that iTunes music is DRM'ed. I willingly accepted it because I was able to find acceptable for me ways of using that music. I did not willingly accept any data mining of music that I play.
If I choose to make a bad decision, that's one thing. For Apple to make a bad decision for me without my knowledge is something that deserves a slap on their wrists and whatever bad press comes with it.
All you people that wanted Windows to rush out a fix. Take that. Now you see that rushing isn't always the best policy. They just need to take their time and make sure everything works. And, if that means they never actually fix the problem, well so be it. It's better than rushing and then realizing they only scratched the surface of the problem. Because, that's embarassing.
But how many people care to actually do anything to maintain their computer. That's what they have technical friends for, or that is what they pay technical support at some computer store.
My car works fine out of the box, but every once in a while it needs new tires/oil, etc. I'm not willing to do those things so I pay to have somebody else do them. But, I don't think that downgrades the usability of the car.
I use myspace to make sure my monitor can really print all the millions of colors it claims it can. All you have to do is view any page on myspace and it is guaranteed to use each and ever color possible
All you have to do to switch to Windows is buy a new PC. They all come with it installed out of the box. They also come with all the software most people need either already installed or available to buy at your local Best Buy/Circuit City. I set up my non-tech parents like this over a year ago and have only had to help them twice when my dad accidentally told his firewall not to allow his browser to connect to the internet.
The only support I've had to do to my own computer is fix the bootloader everytime Ubuntu decides to override it and I forget to back it up. Sometimes I think we spend a little too much time nit picking things and tweaking systems to get that extra percent performance increase.
I personally downloaded 10 songs from ITunes this week using up most of a xmas gift card. And I have another $15 gift card that I haven't redeemed yet. Please don't rob my house and steal the card tonight.
The resolution is just so high on these new video formats, that the human eye is not capable of deciphering the image. Fortunately, the hardware makers are going to put limits on how much throughput can come through our monitors/tvs until the human eye can see the image. Once that part is taken care of, then everything will be fine. And to think everybody thought that scaling down the image on the monitors was a bad thing.
I just bought a toaster today and it cannot run Linux or Windows. I was about to take them back until I realized that I don't often check my email at the toaster, I normally do that at the blender before I check my RSS feeds from my dishwasher.
But without running Wine, how you you get the new WMF exploit to work. With Wine, you can make sure that you can run Googles new shareware software bundle, and crash your Linux box when you surf the internet. After all, even Linux needs to reboot once in a while. Wine helps make sure that you take care of that more regularly.
You gotta start somewhere. Might as well be somebody that will bring limited traffic while you stress test the system.
Plus, maybe they are hoping to have it ready for CBS to give them rights to the NCAA basketball tournament games so that when your favorite team wins, you'll be willing to turn over some money to get a nice copy of those games you forgot to record but want to keep around for when you are feeling nostalgic.
I wish I could find it now, but I thought I read something somewhere that the Microsoft fix was supposed to work with the unofficial patch.
Is that true?
They've spent all that money building their Army, and this is the war they are now choosing to fight. I bet there's a lot of people in non-communist'ish countries breathing a big sigh of relief right now.
Maybe we can get them to pick a fight on obesity after their done with the porn conflict. That ought to keep their army occupied for a while.
Sounds promising. Firefox will develop a TV. We could use the adblock plugin to get rid of commercials forever. Everybody is happy. Advertisers gets to pay for ads. Google gets paid for ads. I get to block ads. Now, we just need a Firefox to get in on bill board displays, and we won't have ads anywhere.
I noticed the little shield icon so started clicking to install the patch. When it was done, it told me that I should reboot, so I did. I wasn't paying attention when the computer came back on, so it went into the default OS. So now, I'm happily typing away in Linux. Which reminds me that I need to change the default OS back to Windows before my wife notices.
I have been with gmail for over a year now and we have not had a false positive yet. We did have one true positive and are expecting our little bundle of joy in about two months.

We really just need one of those big space service elevators.

What kind of piece of crap hardware are you using?

I would think that their would be less sausage and more duck. Maybe some dapper drake.
No idea. But I did a quick google and came up with this. Hope it helps.

Well, Tom Cruise surely didn't go without his beloved Katie Holmes, so that should cover most of the straight crowd.

I'll post pics when the little one arrives.
