i see many people whining in the feedbacks, but i'd guess that this change is welcomed by the majority of gmail users. i like it so far. finally a way to hide labels i don't care about in a "submenu". the "move to" business and the drag and

the variation on that is "a psychopath with a chainsaw will maintain this code. he knows where you live." then you do pop quiz-style code reviews. let someone's code get reviewed by his peers.

would you risk your account by intentionally adding malware to your data sets? HDDs are passive, there is no danger in merely hooking one up. and as long as the file system drivers are solid, shoveling these bits into "buckets" (whatever th

i can replicate that. he's using obfuscated URLs from his site to dynamically add the google banners. ABP apparently doesn't catch that. this is just wrong. there is no other way of putting ig. there are the URLs that ABP shows: http://hac
