+1 parent. I've been using RoundCube for some time (3 - 4 years?), it's used both my myself (as a technical person) and many non-technical people, it both "gets on with the job" and provides a glossy UI for doing it (by glossy, I mean it's pretty and it shows similarity to popular desktop environments, like Windows, Gnome, KDE and OSX - drag/drop, buttons, scrolly bits, HTML previews, WYSIWYG editors, etc). It's only a web UI for IMAP though, so you're still going to need something powerful on the back-end for spam etc. For an MTA (email server), I use Courier-MTA. The whole lot can be installed on Debian (£30 a month dedicated server, or less for a virtual/home hosted option) in a day, there after I can honestly say you rarely have to touch it. Happy to provide help if you want it ... http://matt.matzi.org.uk/

You're very generous and patient doing this ...

Ask for a demo.

You're only wasting their time.

Tyre costs.

That's the only thing I think it costs me more on.

Usually nothing a regular tyre rotation can't reduce though :)

You've been modded down - I think that's a shame. You've made a discussion point - and been penalised for it.

What such tools would you suggest? Your last two linked articles don't work for me - could you summarise their content?

I suggested TrueCrypt because the NHS in the UK use it quite a bit (so I'm informed), for a free product (and one which I believe the source code is available for) it does the job quite nicely IMHO.

Only GPL / only OSS / only RMS whatever. Sorry, not suggesting GPL is the "only" open source!

Sorry, please excuse my ignorance - (that's expressed honestly, not sarcastically) - I wasn't aware the OP was interested in only GPL? (Or am I missing something ... in which case I apologise profusely!)

Sorry, Then my post should read: "Yes". :)

TrueCrypt.
Nuff said.

If you're on Windows - Kmeleon http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/ Otherwise (all joking aside on this!) - (E)Links. I use it on both Linux and Windows regularly - with the right setup you can even get a graphical UI... http://elinks.or.cz/

Yeah, it's not a too shabby service (iPlayer, that is).

Here in the UK (and I don't believe you even need a TV license for the non-live stuff) - I have a decent ADSL connection (no, not a £2.00 a month Tiscalli line with more latency and contention ratio than you can waggle a stick at) and a couple of PS3s. They output iPlayer HD to a couple of decent sized TVs, wirelessly, perfectly.

They also play Bluray (combined with a cheap LoveFilm subscription - which iPlayer also supports the online viewing of) and all of ITV/4oD/Five's online offerings too.

Of course beside all this, if you're going to pay your £120 a year TV license, I'm also legally entitled to both Freeview and Freesat, which include quite a few channels themselves.

I've also noticed recently YouTube has started offering a lot of TV shows for free (with Ads) - guess what - the PS3 plays those too!

I have to admit, I 100% agree.

I'd honestly rather pay 2x for my broadband and have full Internet access than have my access based upon the "highest bidder". BBC et al are already forking out for bandwidth their end. I'm fed up of these "£5.99 a month" broadband deals followed by people bemoaning the BBC for not paying for *their* broadband.

Makes Matt mad.

I'd be very interested to know how much time people spend watching YouTube (or whatever) during an average week ... separately for "general stuff" and specific podcasts etc.
I for one quite regularly follow various "Channels" on a weekly or even daily basis.

I have a bridge camera - which isn't quite a DSLR - and isn't what I'd call a "point and shoot". I put myself as a DSLR - as it seemed closest.

Computers still seem to be getting exponentially faster by the year ... when will Silicon give way? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:TOP500-2008.svg
