Webmail is great, until you want to get your mail on a mobile device or a slow connection. Then it's painful.
IMAP over SSL allows me to keep my INBOX synced between my work computer using portableapps, my HTC Wizard, and my computer at home. And because I run my own server. I still have more storage space Gmail too.:)

Most LEC (Local Exchange Carriers, Verizon, SBC&T, Qwest), like to disconnect you off the switch if you're not paying.
However, if you already have dial tone, it is most likely someone at a call center updating a few databases. If you don't the process I discussed before swings into action.

Errr. No. It's not that easy.
If you don't have dial tone, some little switch monkey needs to go and take your pair or wires from the wiring frame, connect it to the switch, redo the routing translations, and check it to make sure it works.
While, no, it's prolly not costing as much as $50, it IS a little more involved then you think.
Podcasting makes my life easier. I listen to quite fewshows, and like other geeks, the way my work hours are soemtimes I completely forget what day it is. I often used to miss a show for a few days before realzing "Hey, it's Friday, OTH came out a few days ago" Podcasting is good because it automagically updates my iPod when the new shows come out.
Although Steve is right in the fact that, for the most part, it's the "Wayne's World" of radio. There are some good shows out there and I do enjoy listening to them.
While that concerns me and you, mom and dad don't care how long it takes. Why? Mainly because they usually don't know. All they care about is the little update center in the corner of their screen saying "Microsoft has releases updates...""
Read the old testament. The judeo-christian-muslim god is NOT a good being. It is a hateful, nasty, vengful, arrogent, little mountain god of the same pantheon as Baal, Istar ect. From day one it was suggesting genocides, running its people around in the desert for generations, sending snakes to bite them and all sorts of horrible thngs. If the patriarchs had been smart they would have dropped the ark and run.
Yes. Hence, during most of the old testament, between when we told God to STFU in Genesis, until The new testament when he decided to wipe the slate clean with humanity, he was generally pissed at us. Rightly so.
As far as the Jesus character went.. dude he was NOT the messiah! He told his people he was comming back like next WEEK! Its been 2000 years, he is dead, not in heaven, not comming back. Was he a good man? probably. Was he the son of god? No. Could an evil flawed divinity like we have already discussed produce a viable heir to set things right? No, it would be as flawed as its creator.
Do you speak Aramahic(sp)? Do you know it had ~2000 words and is still widely open to different interpretations? Just because that YOU or someone else interpret to mean 'next week' doesn't mean it was what he said. You also choose to believe that God is flawed for some reason. That's your choice.
Quite frankly, you sir are worse then the people in Kansas. I, have no problem with people believing whatever they want. You on the other hand, like the people in Kansas, need to convert everyone to your narrow field of view of the world.
You obviously have never paid attention of organized religion. There is A LOT of "I don't know" in Catholocism (the only one I am able to draw conclusions on). Why do you think that after 2000 years, people are STILL getting theology degrees and writing thesis papers on various happenings?
How come the geek community, as a whole, believe that little grey aliens may exist, but wholely dismiss the idea that there may be a higher power in the universe?
Another important point that should be made, science and religion are not mutually exclusive. As an above poster's teahcer put it. Religion says that some god did it, scienece is just trying to figure out how. Science and religion should have absolutly nothing to do with each other.
Which are my feelings exactly. It could be said, that science is reverse-engineering God (Just thought that one up). But, because of that, Religion and Science are and will be intertwined forever, having everything to do with one another.
So, your idea of a 'Good God' is essentially living in a dictatorship?
Here is the Christian view of things:
God's cool. God created us. God tried to mollycoddle us in the Garden of Eden. What did we do? Told him to STFU and did our own thing. Needless to say, God was pissed. Kicked us out, let us live on our own. There were good people that went with God, but mostly bad people that were condemned. Eventually, God decided to let up, sends himself down in the form of a man (Jesus, who, in human form, was his Son.), and tells us that "Hey, we should be groovy to one another. I'm going to die, then live again, and wipe the slate clean, m'kay?". He was promptly told to STFU and nailed up to a cross. He died, resurrected, and went on up to Heaven. Here we are today.
What it boils down to is God likes us, it wants us to succeed. At the same time, because we told him to STFU, he's going to let us figure everything out on our own. He helps us along (How come you have a great ability to comprehend computers?). But generally has a 'hands off' approach.
*shrug* It's a lot to wrap your head around, I'll admit. Bbut how do you not know that there isn't some unseen force nudging us along in the correct direction?
I was in Boy Scouts. I have friends who were part of Boy Scouts. I am a !@##$@ Eagle Scout. I know what the @#$@ I am talking about, I acknowledged that I believed there is the possibility of a higher being during my Eagle review, the reviewers accepted it.
Personally, a lot of kids in my troop didn't believe in God, the subject was hardly talked about.
Lets try this again. You can say "I don't in God.". You can say "I don't believe in one God" All you need to do is acknowledge that a higher power may or may not be at work.
Of course, if your troop is in the Bible Belt, this may go straight out the window. Politics is everywhere.
Just acknowledge that man is not the end-all be-all of the universe. Which, IMHO, isn't that bad of an idea.
As for the homophobia that seems to be rampant in Texas (Nation HQ), I'll agree to disagree. (Which, btw, is perfectly fine. You can tolerate in Boy Scouts all you want. No questions asked. I tolerated a ton of assholes during my time there.)
Why do the submit and preview keys need to be so close?
"Obviously spoken like someone who has either never been, or never participated in the program. Your blanket statement reminds me of when Microsoft globally condemns the work of OSS, without even know what it actually does."
I would HOPE that creditcard activation systems use ANI, not CID.
No, they usually don't. They usually use the CPN (Calling Party Number), which is not/supposed/ to be able set by the end user, but can be in certain circumstances with certain VoIP providers.
Like you said, ANI is the Telco's billing number, it is just usually the same number at yours.
Yes, but North Korea has endorsed Kerry. Who would you rather vote for, a person who has endorsements from a bunch of evil democracies in Europe who are obviously in the vast right wing conspiracy, or a candidate who has the support of the Communist Paradise of the DPRK, and the Dear Leader, Kim Jon Il.
Down with the eeeviil capitalists! Kerry '04!/sarcasm

SIP is one of the big reasons I want to move ti IPv6. Plus, and the fact that each of my servers can have an public IP address. Yum.
