i have no problem with google mail, the mail for domains is actually something i was looking at using - very convenient & amazing spam filter.
their other products are scary. personalized search, website tools thing, the toolbar, and analytics i would never touch.
i even block analytics js. not cause im a privacy freak or think it's unethical or something, just because it's google.
orkut, opensocial, that social apps thing someone posted on syndk8. that's fucking scary.
i'm happy i never fell for the facebook, myspace crap too. don't even have a cell phone.

haha

[hondaman]

I get it but am just not there. My paranoia still runs hot about them.

There has been some discussion in my household about not sending paper checks for my bills any longer, but that will probably take about a decade for me to get comfy with.

i decided it was "over" around ms sql server 6.5 and i got a letter
from the state saying they had now realized i had no insurance and
my license was suspended and 500$ and blah blah blah and i said
oh my stars, the govt can go:

Code:

select name, address, ss#,  insurancestatus
from orwell_Db
where patindex('%hondaman%', name) > 0
order by name ascending

that was a decade ago...

::shivers::  dont want to even think about the face recognition
api on some kiosks they have now..

[nutballs]

ah yes. there was a post recently about a new face system that could tell the difference between two maternal twins (the clone type). and had a pretty high hit percentage when trying to fool it with disguises.

so yes, its over.

and for the record, I love robots, and government, and i am OK with being a pet for our masters....
now where did i leave my plasma rifle oil can?

[nop_90]

you guys are depressing

John Conner, he is not. 

[nutballs]

hey, when those red eyes start staring at me, i will have no problem turning recoat... enemies closer and all that jazz.

[jammaster82]

oh crap did i forget my visine again?!?!     

 

If you are a felon, known suspect or on THAT LIST
and you try to walk on the strip by the cameras
which are online now and everywhere at the oceanfront
here in Virginia Beach, Va a little light DOES go off
somewhere.. 

guess only the amish are safe now..

[nutballs]

pffft. the Amish are all on the terrorist list for not using enough gasoline.

so....libgmail is not so great.

only grabs the first 50 messages in a folder. looked at the code, it scrapes gmail's web gui.

i guess that's cool if you design gay desktop widgets and you want your gay gmail notifier to work even if you don't have pop enabled..

re: paranoia

I guess your just as at risk speaking on the telephone with
the wiretapping laws and patriot freedom of information acts
realistically we do HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY
to sample and store all phone calls.  unless youve got straight copper
from your house to an old school phone station,
your probably hitting a CSU/DSU rack in a weatherproof box
 on the corner of your block and getting sampled at 32kbps and off into the tcpip ether
anyway..   Which is why no one ever REALLY hit 56kbps on dialup..  point being its
digitized right there anyhow so why couldnt it be saved and parsed later...
its not that much data, compressed skype calls are around 8 kbps...

re: libgmail Has anyone been able to check the big G with POP3?

[arms]

tried with pop3 but was getting a limit of messages returned (251/700).
i just used imap. you can do searches.

Code:

import imaplib

server = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com', 993)
server.login('emailaddress@gmail.com', 'pasword')
r = server.select('INBOX')
## If you wanted to see all available mailboxes
#mboxes = server.list()[1]
## Fetches all mail
typ, data = server.search(None, 'ALL')
## Searches for subject containing keyword "New"
#typ, data = server.search(None, '(SUBJECT New)')
for num in data[0].split():
    ## The whole message..
    #typ, data = server.fetch(num, '(RFC822)')
    ## Just the body..
    typ, data = server.fetch(num, '(BODY[TEXT])')
    print 'Message %s\n%s\n' % (num, data[0][1])
server.close()
server.logout()

hey perk, how about syntax colored code blocks? 

[perkiset]

We do have colored blocks for PHP - but the lexxer doesn't know what language to color for until you put <?php at the top of the block ... I don't know what other languages get auto-colored by SMF. I don't know if it'd do Python in any case tho.
