Sort of no longer true (as of SP1): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2795190
On my primary Windows 7 computer, it is down to 10.5GB.

Marketers will at least know that the user opened the email because the images were loaded somewhere. See MailChimp's post on the subject. This means that you can not longer look at a message even once without the marketer knowing that you did.

Second shoutout for Crashplan! I have eight computers backing up to one account with "unlimited" storage and versioning.

Woops, wrong one. That RFC says not to use it for validation, only for a certificate authority to see if they should issue a cert. I will try to find the correct one.

Google Chrome supports certificate pinning so you can't go to a site if the certificate used does not match the known one on the list compiled into the browser, which sort-of solves the wrongly issued certificate problem.
RFC 6844 has a proposed DNS type for verifying the proper certificate was served (requires DNSSEC to make sure the DNS was not tampered with).

Off-topic, but I have done the same thing. Once upon a time, you had to click submit to moderate, it did not use this "fancy" javascript. I can't find any option to go back to that.

I tried with the first 8 digits of 6 different cards and founds nothing but Australian phone numbers.

I don't have an ax to grind and I certainly don't want to create bad blood, but we can build a castle in the air of people all over the world who understand every English idiom.

I wanted to have one idiom for every letter, but I got tired of it.

The only evidence actually quoted that the attack was by faxed change request is the defaced website. Do we trust the "hackers" that much that we believe they made the change by sending a fax? Could the group be giving a red herring?

I did an undergraduate honors paper about reading E-ZPass somewhere besides a toll plaza. Not only were we able to do it easily, we also looked into (but did not follow through) creating fake tags using scanned IDs from other cars.

We were even able to purchase E-ZPass lane equipment from XXXXX (redacted - the lawyers don't want me to say). They did not ask for any verification about what we were going to do with it - if we could come up with the money, they would send it to us.

I have ordered items (non-food) on Amazon and had the option to pay ....... $3.99! ..... for "Same Day Delivery" in the Washington, DC area. I have no idea how they actually paid for the courier to drive from Virginia to Maryland, since it certainly cost more than $3.99 in gas, but I ordered at 10 AM and had the item by 5 PM.

And those contacts are really good. I have used them a few times.

But as a business user who pays for Google Apps, I don't wat Google to provide direct support for all users because it would likely decrease the quality of the service that I receive.
