Not that large mailboxes, but a couple ones in and around 300 to 500 MB. Windows 7 Pro, 32-bit. Accessing mail server via IMAP (six mailboxes, 'bout 2 GB all in all), two via POP3. No slowdowns; no CPU hogging, no excessive memory usage (hell, Live Messenger is using up 58 MB right now, Thunderbird only 44 MB). CPU usage at 0 at almost all times (seen it jump to 8% on my dual core 2.33 GHz Intel machine). I/O performance is great, too.

I don't know... Seems to me that people are just trying to create solutions to non-existant problems, and most likely in the hope of being able to sell it to someone.

If they do find a solution to the excessive memory usage of Firefox, or it hanging whilst running the Java download manager from Microsoft, I'll cut' em some slack.

Where the hell is the list of safe sites?!

Never got mine to work on top of a pizza... Might've been the cheese?

I, for one, welcome our new dark field mice overlords!

Thus, I don't give a damn if or how I get modded (I'm fine as long as my opinion doesn't go unnoticed by).

To me, this looks like the author is just hoping (or already has) to gain profit from advertisers by not blocking them by default.

Don't change anything, for the love of God! Let users have their freedom, whether 'tis by choosing from subscription filters, or by filtering out individual advertiserson their own.

Don't give the advertisers any edge in bypassing your filters - that'll just make AdBlock redunant and useless.

Masturbation and watching pornography can improve your hearing. Listening for any other noises, like the creaking of the door to your room, or footsteps on the floor is a great exercise.

What's so smart about that? Getting away with the ridiculous pricing?

Whoa, Chuck Norris flashback!

This applies to the Icelandic government, too. It's not just Americans.

Laying people off is (still!) some kind of a last resort, reducing work time and salaries seems to be "the solution" here. Well, management is cut down somewhat - but that's probably the wisest decision of the "big bosses", although they probably don't realize it. Unless they're just fishing for votes...

Shouldn't this be used for every type of cables? During the last couple of weeks, coiled USB cables have given me lots of grief. USB connected camera stands (used for passport pictures) keep being disconnected, but as soon as the cable has been straightened (5 meters), everything's fine.

Recently I had the same problem with a Cat5e cable at some other place; 5 meters, half of that from the IP phone to the wall; as soon as I straightened it up, the phone was able to connect.

Why not simply Alpha release? Of course, that's not quite correct either.

Where I come from, alphas are released to internal software testers. Betas are the builds that have passed the alpha stage, and are released to select few or limited number of users for further testing before hitting the public.

Meh... Why aren't there any standards for software builds and version numberings that everyone can follow?

Pardon me, for not being at same level of comprehension as you. I thought this was ./ and no one would notice anyway.

Then again... If not waitresses, then strippers have no self respect? Either way, sounds like stereotyping to me.

Phishing is very primitive in most cases; elegant, and nearing true social engineering in some others.

Of course the security industry is frustrated about not being able to successfully fight back such simple or primitive methods. Automatically.

Of course they would. But then again, they'd probably have to lay off the pot or crack in order to do so.

Your point being that waiters and waitresses have no self respect?
