I understand the complaint, but how could you stop something like this: http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?msg=743519&forumid=1645#xx743519xx[^]? the "noise level" is a good tool to handle bad messages. It could be even better if messages with low ratings are not only grayed out, but fully hidden. For the author the matter is that he will always receive a notification, but if the problem is not "epidemic", a filter in your e-mail client could be enough.

ok, some sacrifice is necessary for the good of the community. May I ask a check box in the personal settings?

I'm used to backup in my e-mail archive the interesting messages that I receive from my articles, however long (and so, interesting) messages are cutted out with a "...(continued)" (I remember the bandwidth problems in the past). I think that, at least for the article authors, and if it's not too hard to implement, the full text should be sent.

good idea for me the best solution would be that the parser will not handle html tags inside the

The LZW patent expired in June 2003 in the United States. However, patents on LZW are still in force in Canada, France, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Japan.

Simon Brown wrote: I've just been through this process world-wide I thought that "US + EU" patents were enough. Paying a fee for each country is really expensive, how could you justify this in terms of market share or returns? Or you have to protect a REALLY good idea.

In Italy, to register an international or european patent the minimum cost is from 2000 to 3000 euro. Is it the same price also in other countries?

... not even try to fight, to survive you simply have to switch into a new one. Of course you know everything about the last spam-storm, but now the spam is all from the servers, with tons of "Delivery Status Notification...", "NAV warning...", "Refused attachment...", ans so on. If this has been planned since the beginnig of the story, well, my compliments to that foreseeing mind.

In the photos you can see my handmade guitar (the only exception are tuners and strings), oh yeah the pickups are missing because I still must build them, and the bridge needs some improvements. Maybe it's a bit too light: 3.5 lbs, but the sound is not so bad. Dscf0008.jpg Dscf0012.jpg Dscf0031.jpg My problem is the neck thickness: now it's 1" (or 25mm) for robustness, but normally you find 0.8". Do you think that I should lower it a bit for a more comfortable usage? (although my hand is big enough to play with this neck)

I was reading the recent messages in one of my articles, and for some reason I clicked the link for the "last" messages. The article has been loaded immediately, while the messages were missing. But I noticed that the modem was active... :suss: After few minutes I got a page showing ALL the 1600 messages :eek: this is the url of the page: http://www.codeproject.com/bitmap/cximage.asp?forumid=2472&select=561999&df=100&fr=1626[^]
