    I see why the chinese government likes Yahoo, my point was while i have some ad blockers I find yahoo a place where any investment in time on stuff is potentailly meaningless if some yahoo person is in bad mood one day.

    I have backups, but yahoos customer experience leaves much to be desired.

  3. Yahoo = adserver and other problems on Google Doubles its Profits · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I had a yahoo webmail account, the new webmail beta needs new windows or mac, since i have neither webmail beta is a no go. Explain to me why webmail needs windows or mac binaries - spyware ?

    Geocities trashed my webspace too after a couple of years no explaination about that either

    What can we learn from yahoo ?

    • Im not going to spend much time here 'exploring'
    • I'm not going to use, or buy webmail plus
    • If yahoo think i visit yahoo just for there webadverts (screen coverage is increasing) then think again.
    • 360 - blog platform is um full of privacy issues for me, and too late
    • ? The 'portal' died ?

  7. Re:Microsoft's meddling on Dropping Linux Helped Restore Corel Profitability · · Score: 1

    As a wordperefect user (still) I demoed some time ago the 'then' latest demo version of wordperfect that then only worked on xp (we own a copy for usb features), Boy did it (Corel Office) crash and burn, it was removed after day 1, of the trial - we since moved to Open Office.

    Corel better stop writing windows software too.

    I also used Wordperefect on Linux (eg bought), Corel were not playing gpl ball by releasing the code to library you need for modern distros of Linux if memory serves me in this area. So when a Corel exec says they support the gpl/Linux cause they dont really, and thats probably why Wordperfect is a non chioce in office software since nobody could get it to not crash in Linux with a more modern kernel.

    Open office suits us now

    'Americans' like Bob Parsons feel that any generic term can be trademarked - my apologies, Bob Parsons would probably feel he should have handled all of the .eu domain 'sale' rather than let good old competition that Bob cant hack. I'd never acuse anybody here of being a 'yankee trader' - but you get my drift, if that american pto office which those yanks it appears employ mindless monkeys.



    While godaddy might have been honourable in the past the suits are in town - and the godaddy abuse dept must now pay its way.



    I've reported godaddy abuse and wrote to 'Bob' on his blog about eurid. why ? for he's an idiot, and I'm glad i dont use godaddy, in the past or now. Mind you i dont own sex.eu, but i managed to get the eu domains on landrush without godaddys 'managerial' incompetance.

  17. Re:Odd. on GoDaddy Holds Domains Hostage · · Score: 1

    GoDaddy has no idea about spam lists, as to blocking domains because an telecoms/hoster decided that hosting a rokso class spammer means you get terminated too - hmmm well they wont be seeing me - btw that happened to ev1.net recently, so are all ev1.net clients spammers why yes it would seem so - ker ching!!!!.

    as to .eu, they could have paid more but did not, please do not get confused between generic terms and real trademarks - you americans love to do that.

    While spam is a problem, if there was a problem with our domains i'd like to know about it before some rich american businessman decides that he both wants to register 'sex.eu' for us and also demand $50 to unblock it for not spamming

    If your going to do mass terminations - at least check they all spammed first - ev1.net clients (not us) while 'tarred'with a spam from here brush for a day had the block removed when the one spammer 'left' thats acceptable. Godaddys actions are not.
