My solution to the e-mail issue would be to have mandatory user-maintained mail-server-hosted whitelists for every account.
| peterc E-mail is a great medium but its delivery method is busted. It's unreliable and hard to monitor if your mails ever got through. |
|
| peterc Darn, seems we bought our house two months /before/ the market peaked last year. Buying on the peak would have been a much better story. |
|
| peterc Current favorite invention: squeezy honey. Who needs gadgets when you have honey on toast? |
|
| peterc @willcritchlow: I know he was trying to be authentic, but the fact he allowed them to play loud R&B music is the sign of a brave man. |
|
| peterc Yep, a line has started to form at the Apple Store on 5th Avenue already. |
|
| peterc @yrashk: I don't personally think so. Selling one's vote is like a vote against democracy, which is as valid a viewpoint as any other. |
|
| peterc Impressed that Northcast is coming back. Now just hoping Northpack/hub does as well ;-) |
|
| peterc @jicksta: Well, they don't even have a democracy really ;-) But it's more the ferocity of the maximum penalty that's troubling. |
|
| peterc 19 yr old American has been arrested for trying to eBay his vote. Max penalty? 5 yrs in jail. Ooh, the US is more like Iran than I thought! |
|
| peterc Intrigued by all the attempts at "multiple Twitter account posters". How many duplicated Twitter accounts am I meant to have to be cool? |
|
| peterc Oh wow, I just heard Roseanne's rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. It's hideous(ly good). http://tinyurl.com/66egk4 |
|
| peterc @drnic: Unsure, but possibly different accounting systems and/or rules for certain corporation types. |
|
| peterc @alanb: It's not really their fault, just strict adherence to the law. The alternative is to get a tax ID from the Fed, which is no fun. |
|
| peterc @alanb: You do now, my friend! Supposedly it's no big deal. If you fill out the right bit on your tax form, you get the equivalent deducted. |
|
| peterc Just saw a bit on TV about how they do the window displays at Selfridges. Surprising how much inspiration you can get across disciplines. |
|
| peterc Red Bull have a new product out called "Red Bull Cola". It tastes like Jolt. Not available in many stores yet, but we quite like it. |
|
| peterc @seanhussey: Hey, I like that too, thanks! Makes a nice replacement for the dull "20/20 hindsight." |
|
| peterc I like 37signals' decision to drop IE 6 support. If people need it, use their APIs to build your own IE 6 interface. I might drop it too. |
|
| peterc I love the term "armchair quarterback." It refers to those who provide opinions with no practical experience or ability to influence. |
