Fuck. FUCK! That's when they got rid of the menu bar and/or when they moved the tabs above the address bar with no way to change it (as far as I can tell). Now I'm too lazy to upgrade because I fear another damn UI change. Firefox gets free reign to upgrade as it pleases (though their choice of embiggening version numbers to the EXTREEEEEEMME still annoys me) as it and its addons seem to upgrade without doing the UI Elements Shuffle Game.

Hmm, yes.... If only there was something he could with his spaceship, with Spock's captured ship and load of red matter (unless the plot has already thankfully begun to fade from my mind), from his now current position in the past. If only there was something he could do like... show up in his huge fucking ship and warn that the star was going to nova or, since Spock was thrown into the past as well, team up with that Spock to make sure there's no fuck ups this time around.

Gosh, if only....

Not subsidizing would help with the former and taxes on investments and estates (the so-called "death taxes") would help with the latter.

Yes, that's one idea. There were others such as a fee that, if the recipient allows, is reimbursed back because it wasn't spam. Another was to put a delay on emails from anywhere of seconds to tens of seconds to a minute (to the non-mass emailer, the delay is completely insignificant but at 1k, 10k, a 1M, it's a roadblock).

Anyway, no, a straight up fee to mail would not be supported here. Hey, let's make a poll about it!
