One major perk of Yahoo mail (and Hotmail) is the virus checking that occurs on incoming mail and when attaching files.
This option should be a big money saver for small businesses since most virii are email-born. And most small businesses cannot afford to employ someone to keep their virus software up-to-date.
I think that Yahoo uses Norton to do virus scanning.
So it seems that the fears of Democrats and lefties has come true, Nader got 96,000 votes in Florida, easily covering the spread between Bush and Gore. Of course, some of the Nader votes could have gone to Bush, but the majority would have gone to Gore.
Just like back in '92 when Bush (senior) and Perot split the rightward leaning voters and Clinton easily got the majority. Of course, I didn't mind it as much since I voted for Clinton!
But now, it seems, we will be stuck with a less-than-stunning prez who wasn't even picked by the majority of americans.
Unless the Florida recount proves me wrong (knock on wood).
Presidential Candidates, you may or may not be aware of a growing movement among computer professionals and enthusiasts. Without getting too technical, the Open Source movement can be described as the recognition that computers function best when the source code, the computer's instructions, are made available and not locked up by the company that sells the computer or software.
Open Source fosters a spirit of exchange and sharing among computer users across the world. But in some cases it seems to conflict with US intellectual property and copyright law.
Do you recognize the potential that Open Source has in the high-tech US? And will you make it a priority in your administration to support the Open Source movement even when certain corporate interests may opposed it?
This one is down as well: tick.usno.navy.mil (at least around 12:00 midnight EST is was) I also have a question about the whole timechecking thing on *nix, is there a correction made for the time it takes the data to traverse the net? Just wondering. -Josh P.S. The big grocery store (Star) in Boston cannot accept ATM cards today!
Being the relative of a book store owner has its privileges! I finished an advanced uncorrected version of this book just a few weeks ago. I really thought it was great, as usual.
Not to give too many spoilers away, but it is a continuation of Virtual Light and Idoru. Comparable, I think, to his first Trilogy. Lots of Berry Rydel and Chevette Washington. Not to mention the Golden Gate bridge and nanotechnology.
An important part of the book deals with online watch trading, and I was remined of piece that gibson did for Wired a while back, about his obsesion with trading watches on eBay. Anywho, this book was really enjoyable and hard to put down. But what whould you expect from the sage/poet/bard/high priest of cyberspace?
