No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

The return of the pop-up:

sounds like advertisers are getting around firefox. We need to find a fix for this. I got hit several times over at tvtome.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The return of the pop-up:

Yeah, I've seen a few in both Safari and Firefox. Bastards.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

for tvtome, I think I'll get around this by using google and read the cached pages.

I was wondering why I had popups this weekend. Grrrr.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I've been using Eudora on my PC for years, but have been frustrated at how slow it is to filter messages, especially since I installed spamnix a while back. It seems to be very CPU heavy -- If I'm using iTunes, the music always stops when Eudora checks mail. I was thinking of trying out Thunderbird. Has anyone tried the latest versions of both? Opinions?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I fucking *love* Thunderbird. It isn't that quick when searching my IMAP inbox, but I think I might have 3000 messages in there.

I like its search capabilities and the filters are great. I recommend Thunderbird.

I'm using Thunderbird Jon. It's not tasking my system at all. I have an obscene number of email accounts.

I used to get virus warning often on my old outlook setup, and I don't get them anymore so it apparently filters that well enough. It catches a good deal of junk, but there are 3 daily spam messages that I can't block for anything. Grrr. One day I will finally delete old accounts that only get junk.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Do you have a spam filter integrated with it LeN?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

ita, no spam filter. Thunderbird has its own I think. It flags some stuff as spam and then you click on a menu item "delete messages flagged as spam" and out they go. It doesn't catch everything, but admittedly, my 2 accts are not spam heavy.

I have some problems with Eudora (though it's not eating my cycles). However I get so much freaking spam to my main account, and Spamnix/Eudora handles it so well that I may be locked in forever.
