Comment ever since signing up with gmail (Score 1) 257

signed up with gmail in the beta, picked up firstname.middleinitial.lastname@gmail.com (obviously not the actual email address but you understand the formatting)
someone else in delaware has firstnamemiddleinitiallastname@gmail.com
another user in the UK has firsnamemiddleinitial.lastname@gmail.com
another one in california has first.namemiddleinitiallastname@gmail.com
and one more from virgnia uses firstnamemiddleinitiallast.name@gmail.com

the 5 of us have been dealing with this for years.
  weve all sat in a conference call with googles techs to see if the can figure it out thus far no luck. they refuse to acknowledge the problem exists

right now we each have our own folder to move our personal mail into and promise to not read anyone elses mail.

Submission + - SPAM: Amazing underwater tunnels found that could unravel Mayan civilization mysteries

schwit1 writes: A team of divers have discovered what is believed to be the biggest flooded cave on the planet in eastern Mexico.

By connecting two underwater caverns, the Gran Acuifero Maya (GAM) project identified the 216 mile (347km) cave after months of exploring a maze of underwater channels.

The project, which is dedicated to the study and preservation of the subterranean waters of the Yucatan peninsula, said the discovery could shine new light on the ancient Mayan civilisation.

Comment I've had to dael with this for years (Score 1) 565

Google states that firstnamelastname@gmail, and firstname.lastname@gmail.com, first.name.last.name@gmail.com are all the same address but this is simply not true.

i use firstname.middleinitial.lastname@gmail.com as my address, there is another person in Connecticut who uses firstnamemiddleinitiallastname@gmail.com and a third user in the UK with firstnamemiddleinitial.lastname@gmail.com and for the last several years we have basically been sharing the account between the three of us.

any punctuation in the username is ignored, any one of us can change the password and yet the other two can still log in with the password of their choice.

we have just gone to using separate folders for each of us and we've agreed to not pry into any personal messages we receive.

google denies this can happen even though all 3 of us have been in a conference call at the same time talking to googles techs.

Comment what a bad idea (Score 1) 42

human driving and is given the choice of swerve into the path of an oncoming car or hit a pedestrian, AI takes over and hits the pedestrian instead of leaving the human to take the 3rd option and put the car in the ditch and avoid the other choices.

do not trust a computer with choices of this magnitude, leave it to people.
