Well, that was part of Netiquette where I used it. You'd better not BCC someone if you really meant to CC them. There truly were instances where BCC is warranted. Mostly where the follow ups are of too deep a nature for the BCC'd to care about, and you don't trust everyone else you are continuing the discussion with to know the difference between who cares and who does not.

Most cases are CC, but there are a few where you want BCC. Or at least will take advantage of it when its there.

No, I want BCC. That way people on the BCC don't get the replies; people on the CC do (they stay on the thread).

BCC = 1 reply no followups. CC = all followups.

If something's sent to the group and you want the group to know you're sending a reply about a topic they might not care get the followups on. Like you may be interested in X but don't want to see all the back and forth that comes after.

I've always put who I BCC'd to in the body. It's common courtesy.

Comment Anonymous = Liberal version of Militiamen (Score 1, Interesting) 744

I wonder how long it will be before some Anonymous fan decides to kill a few people to prove a point. I always said during the Bush years that I was glad that the paranoid nutjobs (the 9/11 truthers) all appeared to be on the Left this decade. It was such a drag when the militia idiots were in the news all the time.

It does not imply Google is better. (although google may be in fact better, copying them does not imply that). It implies that google is the Leader (no One disputes that) and MS finds value in making their results match Google. People are comfortable when they find "x is the same as y" so they will be more willing to UsE either.

Comment I use Skydrive (Score 1) 680

It's like 25GB and pictures from my iphone is growing ~5-10 GB year. When I run out, I'll create another login.

It's kind of slow uploading unless you compress them as you upload - like 10X faster.

I upload the originals uncompressed. I use UNXUTILS for windows to call split.exe to split the MPGs into 50MB chunks. It doesn't play back movies anyway.

Then I can browse them on the phone!
