I have to relay all outbound email through my ISP. I read my ISP's email client setup, and used the outbound SMTP server.

postfix has a single config (relayhost) to do this, although I ended up using the more configurable transport map.

Picasa online had face recognition before the PC version.

Or let people play FarmVille while they're waiting in line.

Depending on his soil type, the tractor might be running a muck, while running amok.

Wake up an hour earlier.

Then they'd try to claim re-duplication every time you copied the .mp3 into RAM.

My ISP (Time Warner) blocks outbound 25, except to smtp-server.roadrunner.com. I configured postfix to use that machine as an outbound relay.

I haven't be following too closely, but I believe it's related to marketplace and affiliate sales, when the seller has a California presence. I'm not entirely sure though, because I've already been paying CA sales tax when I've purchased from a marketplace seller located in CA. The word "affiliate" seems to come up a lot in these discussion, so maybe it's related to those affiliate-link kick backs Amazon does.

I was somewhat upset when SyFy started airing Sanctuary. The Sanctuary team was testing out an online model. IIRC, the HD version of the show cost $1, the SD version was free, and the previous week's HD version was free too. I guess they did well enough with it that they got picked up.

Is anybody else out there testing out a direct to online consumer model? I'd like to support it.

I always wondered what kind of modeline would destroy my monitor...

The HTC's aren't phones either. Nothing running Linux qualifies as "just a phone". This includes most "dumb" flip phones (which are running embedded linux, QNX, or some other embedded OS). The real time OSes usually handle it better, but I've had those sort of problems with them too. I don't remember the last time I had a cell phone that didn't have any applications (even if it was a manufacturer installed MP3 player app).

What's worse, we American's don't always use the same Imperial measures that the British use. A US Gallon is smaller than a British Gallon. I believe the fundamental difference is that in the US 2 Cups is 1 Pint, and in the UK 2 Cups is less than 1 Pint. AFAIK, the other ratios (pints to quarts, quarts to gallon, etc) are the same, just not the cups to pint conversion.

Length is the same. Not sure about weight, as I'm never sure which Pound the British are talking about. Couldn't tell you about anything else.

I live in a full stucco house, and I have problems from some Cell carriers, but not others. Some carriers (AT&T) have full signal outside, and intermittent connections inside. Other carriers (Sprint) only lose one bar going inside. The online coverage maps tells me that AT&T should work best, but Sprint actually works better.

Since I switched from EE to CmpE partly to avoid the RF classes, I'm not going to try to explain it.

The +4 boundaries follow city/county boundaries. Every time I've had a tax mis-applied, adding the +4 information and spelling the city name correctly fixed the issue. It's possible that it doesn't work in 100% of the cases, but I didn't find any.

It's been a couple years now, but I used to buy some CSV files from www.taxrates.com. It was complicated to setup, and involved a lot of extra features to let user decided which rates should be applied. But the rate itself was a simple City plus Zip+4 lookup.

What's the equation for acceleration?
