If you got it less than 30 days ago, you will almost definitely be eligible to switch to the 3GS by paying the restocking fee + price difference. This is what happened to people who bought 2G iPhones right before the announcement of the iPhone 3G.

Granted, that doesn't mean AT&T will behave exactly the same way again, but I can't see why they wouldn't, since you could just cancel your contract and start a new one when the 3GS is released instead, and this way looks better on their books (if you cancel & restart you've then created 'false churn' which does not make their investors happy.)

No, actually, it didn't. Eject Disk was almost always the *wrong* thing to click in classic Mac OS, because it would assume you wanted to keep it mounted, and would then start asking for the disk over and over again the next time you switched into another app. Instead, you were supposed to use "Put Away", or, like the GP said, drag the disk to the trash can.

Comment Re:e-mail is just too cheap to send (Score 1) 77

You could work around this by generating some sort of really long hash of a secret cookie and the sending domain name, then providing that hash to the sending website. When sending mail, the sender could send it to you at youraddress+hash@yourisp.com -- Your ISP would then know that you'd granted that site permission to mail you for free and wouldn't charge them.

Ideally, you'd be able to go to a page on your ISP's site and revoke these revocations for free mail at some point if the site started abusing the privilege.

Alternately, you could just enter a list of domain names from which you'll accept mail without charge - combine this with SPF and you'd be a fair bit of the way there.
