You can't compare Linux and Gmail, and you know this!

Linux is free thanks to the continued generosity of some very creative people.

Gmail is only 'free' to the end user because advertisers are paying for it for you. Google rakes in 6 billion dollars a year plus in advertising revenue from their 'free' products.

Anyway, I agree that Gmail does confer some kind of techno-cool status, an air of 'I know where IT's at' for the user. I also agree that, while some kind of limitations on the service should be expected (no free lunches, plus the vast majority of gmailers will not want to send hundreds of messages a day, and will be grateful for the anti-spam measures), the same limitations should be clearly spelled out.

I still recommend gmail to anyone I catch using a hotmail/yahoo/LameMail address... and despite sending invites and even setting up the accounts, I reckon more than 2 of every 3 people stick to their old account.

Some things in life will always be a mystery to me!

Maybe anyone that busy shouldn't be relying on a freebie webmail app for their work email.

The idea that you can't get useful work out of something free is a little antiquated. There is no reason whasoever (yes 'whasoever') why a free service can't be as useful as a for pay one.

Welcome to the 21st century.

Its that kind of thinking....well, expression, that stops the adoption of linux over windoze "how can something that is free possibly be better than something that you pay for?" is the line people take....'you get what you pay for'.... We of course, know better.

My complaint in this case, and it is not really a complaint, it is an observation and a warning, is that the full facts about how the service works was not laid out in full in advance of us embarking on setting the account up. There is no reason why you should not be able to do all of your work productively with Gmail, and never pay a penny for it.

This person was an AOLER. Anyone with experience of an AOLER knows that they are amongst the most computer illiterate people on the planet, with a phobia of technology that drives them to simplified services. Gmail is simple and powerful and open. It doesnt lock your address book in for example. You can forward incoming mail to any address...you know the score.

This person did not want to (and didnt even understand what was involved in) having her own domain. She just wanted to get off of AOL, mostly because people were not taking her seriously. Im not making this up. Gmail doesnt have the same lamer connotations as hotmail, yahoo mail and AOL, and the latter is synonymous with 'ultimate lamer'.

Aaannnnyway. The final answer is YES people should rely on 'freebie' webmail services for their work. If the service has all the features you need (and you can only know this if they describe all the limitations in advance) then you can use it just like any other tool. The cost is irrelevant.

Didnt I already say this? I think I did!

people who send alot of email as a part of their work

Maybe anyone that busy shouldn't be relying on a freebie webmail app for their work email.
posted by Alun , 10:11 PM Þ 

Today I tried to help a friend migrate from AOL to Gmail.

We exported all her contacts from AOL (a story in itself) cleaned them up and then did a BCC to all of them from her new gmail account to let everyone know she was off AOL.

There were 735 contacts.

Gmail threw up an error saying that you cannot send more than 400 mails in one batch, so we split the list into two and then they all went off. Everything was fine. No more AOHELL. A new account on the best webmail service out there.

Or so we thought.

As the new account started to kick in, which was almost instantly since this person is very busy, we started to get an error every time she tried to send a message....

"Oops, the system is unable to complete your operation... Please try again in a few seconds..."

This error has persisted since around 1PM today.

Subsequently (after Googling around for an answer) it transpires that there is an undocumented limit and severe penalty for sending too many messages at once from your gmail account. Obviously, had we known of this limit, we would never have sent this notification via Gmail, we would have done it from a service without such a limitation...AOL.

here is the thread that I found with the facts about this secret limitation and penalty:

So yesterday I sent out an email to a mailing list that I maintain for
a local LAN party. I sent it in batches of 100 addresses (the limit
with gmail) and I needed to send it about 7 times. After the fifth
email I got this error message: "Oops, the system is unable to complete
your operation... Please try again in a few seconds..." My friend told
me that its a spam prevention thing, and that it would block me from
sending anything for 1 hour.

I've been getting that message anytime I try to send anything since
yesterday morning. I couldn't even reply to the gmail support email
that was generated when I went through gmail help.

Anyone know if there is anything I can do?

I'm sure it's nothing to do with you sending out e-mail, but moreso
probably just the service going up and down. Remember: It is still a
beta and therefore is not completely finished. They may take a server
down for a bit to do some service to it or take the entire thing down
to add functionality. You never know.

No - gmail does seem to have a limit of 400 contacts a day to prevent
gmail from being used by spammers.

If you're not a spammer and need to send out mass mailing - you may
want to consider setting up a Google Group. Google actually seems to
encourage using groups as mailing lists. :o)

I think all you can do is wait, or open a second Gmail account.

Gmail has limits on how much mail you can send (or receive). If you
hit the limit you (or others mailing you) are blocked for some time. I
contacted support, but they don't disclose anything. They don't even
admit there are such limits (but many users have experienced them). It
would be useful to know what the limits are (e.g., how many messages in
what timespan), and how long the suspension lasts. Your friend says 1
hour, but apparently it's more.


It is completely reasonable to have a limit on the number of emails that can be sent from a service like this. What is unreasonable is that this limit is not documented, and that the subsequent penalty is not documented either. Now this person has told all her contacts she has a new gmail account, and she cannot conduct her business with this address. We could haved just as easily been warned that, "sending this many emails may cause your account to be deactivated" when we tried to send 735 emails. We were told that gmail had a limit on the number of emails going out at one time, so why not tell the whole story and warn that the account would be disabled?

I cant reccomend gmail anyore; who knows what other secret restrictions are lurking in there to bite you in the ass when you are trying to get work done?

Its a pity, because gmail, when it works, is very good, but clearly its not for people who send alot of email as a part of their work.

When the Iranian government restricts IAEA inspector access to it's nuclear sites we are told in no uncertain terms by Murder Inc that it is because Iran is developing nuclear weapons and poses athreat to world peace and stability - and of course if they had nothing to hide they would have given free access to inspectors.

Interesting indeed when its US division has now refused to give full access to UN inspectors to the incarceration centre at Guantanamo Bay, presumably the parallels hold - that if the US were not guilty of abusing/torturing those imprisoned there they would have allowed free unrestricted access. In it's defense the US has stated that the ICRC is allowed "24/7" access to the centre but it is well known that the ICRC is 'cautious' in its condemnation of human rights abuses, in order that it may maintain such access to detainees - this holds in Sudan, and must surely hold true in the US.

'ID cards won't make us safer'

Peter Kingston
Wednesday November 16, 2005

Former MI5 chief Stella Rimington
Former MI5 chief Stella Rimington. Photograph: PA
Identity cards would not make Britain a safer place and nobody in the secret intelligence services supports their introduction, according to the former head of MI5.

Asked at a further education conference whether she thought ID cards would make the country safer, Dame Stella Rimington replied: "No is the very simple answer, although ID cards have possibly some purpose.

"But I don't think anybody in the intelligence services - not in my former service - will be pressing for ID cards."

Her own opinion was that ID cards would be of use "but only if they can be made unforgeable".

She added: "If we had ID cards at great expense and people can go into back rooms and forge them they will not make us any safer."

Tony Blair has long argued that ID cards would help in the fight against crime, benefit fraud, illegal immigration and terrorism. [...]

???!!!

She had sought to reassure one principal, worried that the intelligence services would treat all foreigners - particularly Muslims - among his student body as potential terrorists, that there would be no question of blanket treatment of ethnic minority groups.

For one thing, she said, there simply were not enough resources to take such an approach. [...]

http://politics.guardian.co.uk/homeaffairs/story/0,11026,1643987,00.html

Thats the wrong reason stella. Do you mean to say that if you had the resources, that you WOULD DO IT?!

And you were doing so well!!!!!

Bob Geldof rails against letter writing
By Martin Shankleman
BBC Radio 2 business presenter

Bob Geldof
I don't like the postman: Sir Bob
Live8 organiser Sir Bob Geldof has revealed his contempt for letter writing, blaming it for tying up people's time and stopping genuine action.

Sir Bob told a conference in London that letters and the post "give a feeling of action, which is a mistake".

He told delegates that what workers achieve each day will be linked to the number of letters they ignore.

He explained that the "doing part" of a job is proportionate to the amount of post you do not open.

"letters get in the way of serious consideration of what you want to do," Sir Bob said.

An ill-considered letter can destroy a deal
Sir Bob Geldof

At the conference, organised by the innovation firm ?So What! , Sir Bob said he dreaded seeing lots of post in his inbox, as they imposed an agenda on him, and disrupted his own plans for the day.

A successful businessman as well as social activist, Sir Bob also warned of the perils of a badly-phrased writing, which he said he knows from personal experience can cause serious commercial harm.

"The tone can be wrong", he explained. "An ill-considered letter can destroy a deal."

His advice to delegates at the conference in the Brick Lane area of London was blunt.

"Don't do letters." [...]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4440768.stm

Geldork, you is tex sux0rz!

Yet in this insane and rather sad rant, he clearly smells the stink of the real idea that is causing all of our problems today, and its something we have written about on BLOGDIAL again and again.

If you are going to take some sort of action, it must not be an action that does not have a specific desired result, and also, it must not be an action that is a repeat of anothter, previously failed action; ie, no more marches on London, since that doesnt work (Stop War failure addicts NB.). No more signing petitions that are to be delivered to No.10, because they are simply thrown in the garbage. No more conferences, meeting with politicians - all of them do absolutely nothing.

The No2ID campaign on pledgebank and indeed, the whole concept of pledgebank is an example of moving away from things that dont work, into new effective actions. These are all organized by email of course...... Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Check out these two accounts of a loony tune writer and a hooded priestess: Sharon Begley and Susan Clancey respectively....
...Recently I appeared on "Larry King Live," along with Clancy and several others, when one of the guests showed a blow-up of the world-famous Trent UFO photographs from McMinnville, Oregon, arguably the best-known UFO photos in existence. They were prominently featured in "Life" magazine in 1950, and have been reproduced hundreds of times since in many publications. What's more, in 1969, after careful analysis, an investigator for the skeptical Condon Committee described the McMinnville photo case this way: "This is one of the few UFO reports in which all factors investigated, geometric, psychological, and physical, appear to be consistent with the assertion that an extraordinary flying object, silvery, metallic, disc-shaped, tens of meters in diameter, and evidently artificial, flew within sight of two witnesses." Optical physicist Dr. Bruce Maccabee has investigated this case thoroughly, flying to McMinneville, interviewing the Trents, their family and neighbors, taking his own test photos from the same location, and carrying out literally months of optical analysis of the original pictures. Maccabee's work has been published widely, but the photos themselves should be familiar to anyone with even a cursory involvement in UFO study and research. Yet, during the Larry King program, abduction authority Susan Clancy glanced at the photos on the monitor and said something like this: "that could be anything...someone who threw up a hubcap or a Frisbee or something." [...]

and this is a priceless stream of pure illogic:

..."Maybe it was a hoax," she answered, whereupon I informed her that all six passed lie detector tests - twice - concerning their account of the UFO and the onset of Walton's abduction. "That's because they believed it!" she said triumphantly. "But," I explained, "If they were perpetrating a hoax, then they didn't believe it." "No," she argued, "you can believe in a hoax and that means you can pass a lie detector test. It's like a delusion." I tried to explain that the very definition of a hoax was that it represented a deliberate, conscious effort to deceive. [...]

Thank heavens there are SOME people who have some sense, and have made this very important pledge. I know lots of people who have gone to the USA, who mention nothing about being fingerprinted upon their return, and when asked about it, have nothing to say. Maybe they are responding like shamed people who don't like to talk about a humiliation happened to them.

When someone makes a pledge like this, it has tremendous signifigance. When decent people have had enough, when there are lots of them, the effect is overwhelmingly powerful, and just the sort of thing that we want. It is the individual refusing to pay and play, the individual raindrop with all of her siblings that can wash away a whole village in an hour.

The poll tax died because of it, USVISIT can be destroyed by it. Violence against middle east countries can be permanently derailed by it. All it takes is the will to say 'no', and the reasoning to be communicated between people on a personal level.

Sadly, many of the people I know don't value their dignity...but this is about more than dignity. This is about not putting your hand into a fire after you have been warned that fire is hot and will burn you.

I for one am not willing to wait 70 years like the Soviets did just to be able to read books listen to music, travel freely and make phone calls. Im not willing to sit around and take the sort of crap that Bliar and his filty dogs want to dish out. Now we hear that they are planning to randomly search people going onto the underground. If the dare do this, I will boycott London Transport. It is not acceptable that decent people should jump through these hoops at the behest of iinsane men. Searching people on the underground is pointless and vile, and London Underground should be punished by a mass stay away should they dare try and impliment such a thing.

You might grumble that such a pledge is without power, but that would be a (nother) failure of your imagination. Your refusal to move is the most powerful nonweapon you have at your disposal. Coupled with millions of others spontaneously coalescing into a no deluge, what we want becomes what we get; the washing away of all the bad stuff.

done over twice?
Pre-US-visit

Your parents changed the locks on their cases to accomodate the us government
They'd paid for the trip when they were told this. They thought, if the option is a broken case... or lose a lot of money and not go...

But the point is no doubt a valid one.

They have now chosen not to book any other trips that go through the US. Hopefully this means the US-VISIT programme is stopping at least some people from visiting the US.
posted by Alun , 8:12 PM Þ 

On a previous trip to the US, my parents found upon their return that several small holes had been drilled into their hard cases, and no apology or even recognition of the fact given.

A previous trip? So they have been done over twice?

People must say no. The easiest way to do this is not to travel to the US. Do not trade with the US, do not give them your business. Money is the only language these people understand. There are plenty of other places in the world to visit, where you will be welcomed as a guest rather than as a potential felon.

You forgot to mention that their credit card details, home address, iteniary, name, etc were forwarded to uncle sham before they ever boarded the plane.

People just don't care about being mistreated; they only want convenience and fun. Your parents changed the locks on their cases to accomodate the us government. This is the exact opposite of the sort of behaviour that we need.

Yesterday, old men marched to remember their fallen colleagues. The narators all talked about how they sacrificed their lives for peace. I seem to remember in previous years that the narrators spoke of how these fallen men sacrificed thier lives for freedom. Hmmm when did this all change?!

But I go 'OT'.

You can tell people until you are blue in the face about this and they will not listen. Even when it happens to them, they are more than willing to go for another taste. This is the sort of world we are living in, and anyone that participates in it by going on holiday to these terrible places or supporting 'democracy' are guilty of keeping the sham going.

Is it not strange how it hurts more when it happens to someone you know? This is part of the problem, not only with the absurd USVISIT, but with anything that involves someone else getting hurt.

The number of bombs that have gone off all over the world since the small time events that happened in London have been many. Over one hundred people have been killed, and yet, there is no sympathy for them, no bowing of heads no speeches or special dates dedicated to them....why? Because they are 'not us', and people do not have the capacity to empathize with anyone that is not dying right in front of their eyes. This works on any scale. Someone else is being abused by USVISIT, a grumble. When its someone you know, when you can see the broken locks yourself, when the holes are in the suitcases of someone you know, well, then its a different story...a real story, something to get mad at. People blown to pieces by the us airforce in Iraq; ' a necessary loss' or 'collateral damage'. 50 people blown up in London, its reason to dismantle 1000 years of civil liberties on the spot.

The same goes for the 29,000 people who have been stopped under the new 'anti-terror' legislation. Not a peep from anyone about it. That silence is, to me, even more disturbing than the stops themselvs. Its exactly this sort of silence that allowed people to be rounded up and incinerated en masse.

Everyone is too quiet, too obedient and frankly, too stupid for my tastes.

My parents just got back from a holiday in Panama, with flights on BA with a transfer routed through Miami.

They were fingerprinted, photographed and forced to fill in immigration forms by US authorities both going and on return, even though they were only in transit!

I can find NOTHING indicating that in transit at US airports to travel on to a non-US final destination you will be scanned and numbered.

US-VISIT Arrival Process for Visitors Traveling with a Visa

Step 1
Disembarkation at a U.S. Port of Entry.
Step 2
Travelers prepare their travel documents for inspection.

Step 3
Interview by U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officers regarding purpose of visit.

Step 4
Two fingerprints and digital photograph taken.
Step 5
Traveler is admitted into the United States


Not only this, but their hold luggage was opened and searched, also in both directions.

Someone had warned them that this might occur, and that the US authorities had keys to a certain type of padlock. So my parents fitted these padlocks to their cases, and their belongings were duly searched without the locks being broken. They know this as everything in the cases was upside down from the way it had been packed. Others on the trip were not so 'fortunate', and had their luggage locks ruined and were left only with a note apologising for any inconvenience inside their suitcase.

On a previous trip to the US, my parents found upon their return that several small holes had been drilled into their hard cases, and no apology or even recognition of the fact given.


Lessons from this: the US will rape everyone they can get their hands on for biometric data. They have no qualms about destroying personal property for no valid reason. Sniffer dogs and x-ray machines are more than enough baseline intrusion. Stands need to be taken. People must say no. The easiest way to do this is not to travel to the US. Do not trade with the US, do not give them your business. Money is the only language these people understand. There are plenty of other places in the world to visit, where you will be welcomed as a guest rather than as a potential felon.

Soon you will be required to submit to biometric rape even just to pass through American airspace, or in American territorial waters. Your right to travel is already subject to 'their' approval.

The US of A is defintely not the Land of the Free.

You have been warned, time and again!

This insidious, vile, authoritarianism is your greatest enemy. It will crush you as soon as you turn your back. Never turn your back.

Alistair Darling, the transport secretary, has pledged to reduce the risk of another terrorist attack on London as he unveiled new trial scanning techniques designed for rail and Underground stations.

The Department of Transport said that a small number of randomly-chosen passengers will be asked to go through a X-ray machine or be searched, either by a body scanner or with sniffer dogs.

And when it's running properly, how many of that small random sample will be asian males, or middle-eastern, 'slightly brown'... or whatever the current flavour of the month is? And who is paying for the equipment, the staff to keep this going at the UKs 2500 stations? Taxpayers working like dogs to be treated as cattle because they behave like sheep.

And without a closed system, it's useless, non? So ask yourself, why are they doing it?

Bags may be passed through the X-ray machines and the techniques used will include the first use on the UK railway of body scanners using millimetre wave technology, which enables security staff to check for concealed objects.


You remember Total Recall, don't you?

Is that how you want to live your life? Will that make you feel safe and secure?

Will some blockhead guard on minimum wage really spot the one weapon in 1,000,000 people or will he be too interested in all those naked ladies on his screen?


Captains Log: Supplemental...
Who do you think makes these body scanners? Are you watching?
Do you imagine They have influence over government policy? Well, their helpful, unbiased journalist friends have been puffing the technology for years... Watch out! The Thought Police will be after you...

Our Passive Millimetre Wave Scanner offers walk-through security scanning. The scanner can detect concealed metals and ceramics. Up to 6 people a minute can be scanned, eliminating time-consuming metal detectors as well as several security guards.

The scanner produces high quality video images in real time at a fraction of the cost of other systems and enables law enforcement officers and security personnel to detect potential threats without arousing suspicion.

This one (drum roll, please) slipped under the radar somewhat...

The government seems to to be using the usual tactic of floating an insanely stupid, expensive and treacherous scheme to see what it can get away with in terms of 'doing something' about 'the risk of terrorism'.

This time it's installing 'airport style' xray machines (and according to BBQ latest technology CCTV cameras but they were probably using their 'special relationship' with Qinetiq for that snippet).

It is so obviously stupid I can barely be bothered to point out the flaws aside to say there are enough unmanned stations, low walls and other forms of transport to make a mockery of such a scheme.

but I'll post this anyway, after all, we must be seen to be 'doing something' mustn't we.

Mr Clarke says he "suggested to Acpo that chief constables write to MPs in their police authority area, making themselves or relevant senior police officers available to MPs, of all parties, who wanted to know their local police attitude on these issues". He says he "naturally made clear that this should not be on a party political basis" and denies that the Government sought to politicise the police.
