Nope. Work insists on the port 25 (don't ask me why). I used gmail as that is my personal email address and just the first SMTP that I typed in. I have just never bothered to use my comcast email address and so didn't use that SMTP.
Work require me to send work emails through their server for accountability reasons. While my port 25 was blocked I used my smtp.gmail.com. I don't use my comcast email.
Before comments jump in irrelevant to the email. Yes I spelled 'they're' instead of 'their' and when I say 'someone had reported something they didn't tell me what', I mean that they couldn't tell me what exactly was the offending piece of email that caused them to shut-down the port 25, thus no way to back track and figure out if it was me or someone was piggy-backing my IP.
I recently went through this problem with my work email and Comcast. Someone had reported something, they never explained what, that caused them to put a stop on my port 25 at home. Figuring this out took me many days of bitching at my IT guys at work why they're system was not letting me send emails. Eventually they figured out that it was my ISP and had me call Comcast Customer Service Assurance at 856-317-7272. It turns out that regular Comcast customer services just parrot that the port cannot be unblocked. I talked to the CSA agent and in less than 2 mins he had unblocked up my Port 25. However, he did also say that there was no guarantee that it wouldn't be blocked again, all that had to happen was for someone to make a complaint against me for spam. This includes anyone on an outgoing email who tags any email as spam. His advice was to make sure that everyone wanted the emails when they went out. I can only assume that someone in a CC'd email had tagged me as junk not realizing the consequences.
Trust me, ownership interest is not all it's cut up to be. The option that always appealed to me was profit sharing. This has two advantages IMHO: 1) Everyone benefits from everyone's ideas/hard work etc. 2) Those who are leaching off the company tend to be outed by their peers as they're are seen by all as a money drain (i.e. lower profit and lower profit sharing). Profit sharing needs to be done on a yearly basis and prorated for employment time in that year. The poorest set up for profit sharing that I have seen (albeit the best for the employee) was monthly on a 3 month rolling average. It ended up that a month of negative profit still paid out well due to the rolling average; that was poor management. The best I've seen was a 3 way split in yearly net-profit (private company) with 1/3 to the employees, 1/3 back into the company and 1/3 to the shareholders (where the shareholder employees didn't double-dip into the other employees 1/3). The other nice thing is to issue the profit sharing in Jan, when folks really need that extra cash. Individual compensation for ideas is easily abused by both the company and the employee (especially an employee at management level), foster the 'team' by sharing the 'tips'.
That's a cool little animation, but what I don't get is why is Liverpool in orbit? Did Old Blighty finally get rid of that city by blasting it into space?
I turned my iTouch into an iTouch phone by simply duct-taping a second cell phone that I already had to the back of it. Okay so it's not as thin as an iPhone and I'm probably in violation of some patents of the Samsung Upstage, but hey it has better signal reliability than any of them.
My hat is off to HP. I never really bothered with them, but recently I noticed that they seem to be really making every effort to understand the importance of the 'touch-n-feel'. Even if it's not perfect, they seem to be going in the right direction and hopefully others will follow
I thought about doing that after I changed back, but then also though it would be nice to have something that wasn't a cludge that the user didn't need to do; also, it still didn't get around the anonymous document icon issue.
You are right I should say stable and judge to the positive. Although, I have been using Vista since Beta and have never really experienced any of the major issues reported (even with it always being on my 5 year old Dell 8300), there have been a few that have confounded me. The latest one is why I can map a drive to https: webdav with the Dell mounted x86 vista, but my x64 laptop mounted vista just can't map a drive to https: webdav, it appears to be something to do with the encryption...anyway I digress. Thanks for the link, believe me or not I had never read it and it does a good job of clearly pointing out my tripping points. I remember 'scouting out' each icon to see if it was the document that I wanted. Now if they could 'stack' applications and leave room for the documents that would be great...there you go, back into the windows format again.
The funny thing about this was that the OSX dock concept never worked for me while windows works fine. I was a windows user for years, I'm not even sure if I started before 3.0, but I remember most my grad work being done on 3.1. So Windows is engrained into my skull. When I moved jobs recently they had me use OSX (Leopard). I thought what a great time to check this out. After 1 year I insisted on going back to Windows, and Vista no-less. I'm not saying that OSX was bad, it was in my opinion as unstable as Vista and just as annoying with updates, hibernate, length of time for shut-down/start-up etc. What really did it in for me was the work flow, I was so used to Windows that I could never really jive with the Mac GUI and especially dock. I had lived for years off of the quick launch bar and instant document jumping via the task bar. Now likely I wasn't using OSX effectively, but I can tell you from an empirical 12 month test that clicking on a word tab at the bottom of the screen was more efficient for me than minimizing the document so that I could find it later as it went to the dock or hunting around all tiny images when using the Expose button. In addition the ugliness of having all those application 'listed' along the bottom of the screen by icon was not great either. To me the major space on the dock should have been for very quickly finding the document of choice, and the whole Stacks concept...it was just a fancy short-cut to the desired folder. I suppose that I came to the conclusion that I wasn't "metrosexual" enough to use a Mac. However, there was a bunch of things that Windows should be stealing from the Mac
The problem is that the woman may never have heard of Open Office and likely when told to use Word that's what she thought she should use. Just because you and I understand the differences and how to use both, it doesn't mean that everyone has our experiences, or ability, in this area. Would you assume that someone who has driven an automatic their whole life could suddenly drive stick? Yet both things do as good a job. The bottom-line is that the Dell rep at the first sale point should have inquired about the need and then inform the lady that by attempting to buy a cheaper PC she would loose the MS abilities. My assumption here is that she didn't know and the Dell (Linux) rep told her that Linux will do everything that Windows does, where that's a mis-statement. It may perform function to achieve similar goals, but it uses different methods. She then needed to not buy the computer, but go off and figure out if Linux was right for her. At which point either through knowing windows, or plumping for the familiar she would have chosen windows. At the end of the day, IMHO, her fault for not doing better research before purchasing.
I also HEARD that another SIDE EFFECT was the unbridled NEED to write in CAPS to try and DRIVE home a POINT. NEXT comes the DESIRE to add a lot of EXCLAIMATION marks to EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My mother arrives tomorrow from Scotland and if a technophobe, 64 year-old Weegie can figure out how to get on-line and answer a few simple questions I think that you have greater issues with the US than worrying about queues at the entry barrier.
Perhaps you should just admit that you're happy jumping on the 'we-hate-America' bandwagon for no other reason than it's the more popular choice at the moment. I mean why shy away from the mob? I know it's hard to vilify the population now that they very vocally ousted Bush and his ideals and I know that you have to find another reason to hate them, but entry requirements, come on! You have to be smarter than that.
Nope, checked with him. The fundamental OS is pretty much the same and they refaced it with Windows 7. In the process the optimized a few things, fixed some others, added a couple of tweaks, but essentially the goal was to speed up OS releases through smaller increments rather complete re-writes and in the process become more responsive, which is nice. Of course a revamping of Notepad maybe a huge breakthrough for you...
From what I understand from a dev friend at MS working on Windows 7 says that it's basically just a GUI upgrade to Vista. SO, most things that happen due to the Vista OS will be the same in 7, unless there was a specific direction to fix

Was that after the washed-out singer and before the first politically-transparent, minority was seen with him?

It's a GUI change with minor engine tweaks. Essentially, it's Vista with new makeup and a couple of botox injections.
That's because they're trying to get back into power...
I thought about doing that after I changed back, but then also though it would be nice to have something that wasn't a cludge that the user didn't need to do; also, it still didn't get around the anonymous document icon issue.

A bit like Tiger and Leopard?

They also have forms at the airport.
Seriously, if you don't have internet access you can fill the form in at the airport. Just takes longer.

It was an Australian researcher, so my answer has to be yes.
