aha! thank you! I knew that it was a simple thing. this is what happens when you learn a program by trial and error.
I know I'm a bad poet, but I'm a good man. All I ask is that... is that you try to see me—

We have started the learning process for the transition from our crappy e-mail server-provider to GoogleApps! Squee! Of course, the first round of video's is about dealing with Microsoft Exchange, and exporting contacts and calendar. As a Mac user, doesn't really apply to me. But it is fun to see how crazy it is. You'd think Google would write a widget that would run an exe file to automate the tasks.

AT&T responds to iPhone MMS hoopla with a video explaining why they are delayed in letting iPhones do MMS: [link]
What they don't answer for me is, how come OTHER AT&T phones can MMS, but the iPhone can't?

Okay, my prime suspect for the fucked-up fan is indeed the fucked-up fan. It's clearly dying; I can stop it with a pencil and the noise stops and the noise returns as soon as it starts up.
I measured it, and it looks to be 90 mm. Do I have to get a fan with the same dimensions? I figure I do or else the screws won't be in the right place, right? I found one on Newegg for three bucks that looks just like the piece of crap that's in my computer already, so hey.

I'm 99% certain it's not CAN'T, but MUSTN'T BE ALLOWED TO.
The strain on the data structure for AT&T because of the various iPhones is enormous. MMS would make it melt down. I'm almost certain - but not QUITE (because, after all, I can't know, not being a decision-maker at AT&T) - that this is a totally-artificial excuse.

It is, and you know why? Because every picture I *would* be sending via MMS, I send now via email or ShoZu instead. The pixels are still being transferred over the EXACT SAME NETWORK. The data load excuse is a good one for why 5 bars sometimes means no reception. It is BULLSHIT for MMS.

yes, that is apparently why there's been such a problem with getting voicemail

I don't suppose anyone's used OpenSSL and its base64 encoding/decoding?
I'm trying to figure out a way to collect customer data, encode it using a public key cypher and save it in a mySQL database. Then I would bring it onto my PC and decode it using my secret passcode. OpenSSL seems like the perfect solution and PHP has built in support.
I've written a small PHP program that takes text input, encodes it using OpenSSL and my public key, Base64 encodes it (so that it can be stored as text) and then writes it to a file. I download the file to my PC and run "openssl enc -d -base64 -in download.txt -out download.bin"
The problem is that download.bin is 0 bytes. And, indeed, if I try to run "openssl rsautl -decrypt -inkey private.pem -in download.bin" I get the message "Error reading input data".
It *does* work if I don't base64 encode/decode. But for data portability, I'm way more comfortable with ascii data.
