Still a bit of a pain though. THe other person still needs to get the receiver's public key and put it in their CAPI store (assuming they are 90% or whatever the stat is these days) or whatever application they have that can import PKCS7 certs (i.e Thunderbird) but after that they only need to hit the lock button using their mail app.
Actually I think you are confused. The sender sends it encrypted. Thus it is encrypted the whole way through(and can stay encrypted even after if you want). Google could store your email all they want. Unless they try to brute force the encryption, it is impossible to read (assuming you don't hand over the Private key).
1. Stop using the web interface and enable POP 2. Start using a client and your favourite encryption software

Actually that's the worst thing to do. It isolates movement to your wrist. You should be keeping your wrist immobile and moving the mouse higher in your arm
..is if I move. Chances are some stupid credit card company is still going to send an application to my old address. Not much I can really do about them
I was going to mention that. I saw somewhere a comparison between Component and HDMI and what they found was a pretty trivial difference. In other words you need to get about an inch from the screen and look at the specific pixels.
Difference? Probably little if none with DVI/HDMI. Digital is ones and zeroes. Analog may have needed quality cables to ensure the signal is clean but the bit is either on or off.
Personally, I prefer going to Radio Shack for cables.
I think they are talking about over the cell phone. Out here in Ottawa, I have seen Bell ads saying the exact same thing on TV but it was definitely a phone.
What I would like to see is the builtin ability to segment a WAP, almost a builtin DMZ. I would set it up bare if I could guarantee that all they would be able to see is the Internet and not the rest of the network. My wireless router has the ability to make the Internet see a specific IP as external but this would definitely be something I would set up if I had the ability.
If it had only come out 2 weeks ago.. I just finished installing 2005.1 (while removing XP) on my laptop. I had Gentoo installed for the last year and dicked around with it every once in a while. About 2 weeks ago, I decided to make the laptop pure Linux and figured might as well do a complete reinstall as I have only done it once. Might have been nice to try out the new installer as well.
I don't really understand the whole love 2 speakers thing
I have a theory about it as well as the following typical people: "I don't watch TV" "MP3 sounds like crap" "Modern medicine is stopping alternative medecine as it is afraid of it" "Govt is run by multinational corporations/secret society/aliens"
Essentially these are people who are trying to buck the trend in a nonconformist way as it makes them feel that they are different (thus better) than anyone else or that they know something special that the teeming unwashed masses don't. So as someone says that they are going out and getting something that is part of a new trend, this person has to counter it with a "I am better than you in some way" comment
I was using the subtitle option on the remote for my DVD player. After reading your post, I went into my tv to turn on Closed Captioning and there is no option for CC on the DVI input (haven't checked the HDMI but I suspect it is missing there as well) so it seems that the TV I have doesn't do CC over DVI.
Could it be that other than Analog stream based sources, they are trying to offload Closed Captioning to the source and inserting the text into the video stream before it gets to the TV? I don't know a lot about the intricacies of CC as I have been fortunate to have never needed it.
Actually, I had never tried subtitles and lo and behold it worked on my Oppo. That was tested using closed captioning on the new Doom DVD. Not sure exactly what the whole thing about closed captioning but maybe it was an earlier release version.
Understandable as I assume cc is something you really want. For me it wasn't. I already had a decent dvd player (Panasonic DV-232 (or something like that)) and wanted a huge upgrade and the price of it was not even 10% of what I was paying for my tv so I was willing to shell it out. The fact that they threw in both a DVI and DVI-HDMI cable for free was icing on the cake.
Yeah it was a pretty rough remote. My first email to them (which was responded to in 2 days) was just a comment on what I liked and dis-liked. They told me that they replaced it after I bought mine and I could get a new one for free from their website. I just had to plunk in my serial number. A week later I had the new one which is a lot better.
My comments then were: Everything is awesome except: - Disc tray is really skinny (due to low profile design) and I am always afraid to drop the dvd in. - Disc tray comes out 90% but you have to put the dvd in at an angle as there is a little bit that is covered by the upper lip of the player body. (even then it is a minor annoyance) - Hitting power on the DVD Player will not automatically close drive before powering off (it will work though if you do it through the remote and they are looking into incorporating into their next release)
Disclaimer: Satisfied customer If I was to plug a DVD player it would definitely be mine. When I got my HDTV, I also ordered the Oppo OPV971 for the following reasons: - DVI output - Upscaling to 720p or 1080i (through DVI) - DivX/Xvid support - Firmware upgradable.
Something I didn't know before but do now is their support is impecable. I emailed them last Saturday night at 8:00pm while watching a movie to ask about the angle icon appearing. I had a response by 9:30PM. I also have emailed comments before and they have got back within a day or two (more like day and a half).
What happened to punctuation, capitalisation, spelling and understanding of homophones? It was wasted in High School by having to read books like Old Man and the Sea, Catcher in the Rye, and To Kill a Mockingbird.
I understand the need to read books and understand the concept of allegories et al. But intermingle that with some grammar. By the time I went to college my grammar had suffered.
You forgot to mention the fact that if it appears that someone is trying to make themselves indispensable, companies have a tendency to turf them before it is too late.

Yeah but the latency is a bitch. Plus isn't mail when in the mail system technically the property of the govt (speaking of US and Cdn govt)?

That's great but what if someone introduces a virus through other means i.e usb key, infected laptop, etc. Firewall won't help much internally

Just look at all the dentists who get sucked into scientology, for example
Or chiropractors who are into all the new agey crap.
Then again looking at what they are now claiming they can cure it isn't really that surprising.

Yep, and 2001 was the year of the Shark Attack (even though I believe they were lower than normal that year) up to and including Sept 10.

Have to put those on my favourites list as well then...

That's nothing I started strafing into hallways when I was in college around the time Doom came out.
