This looks interesting. A big downside for me is that it sounds like they route all communications through their website. I would rather run a server on my local network and keep communications between me and my imps private.

I always thought of it as risk vs reward. The risk is that the plane will crash and everyone will die. The reward is that I get to read my email 10 minutes sooner. I'll wait until the plane lands to let my wife and kids know that I'm at my

The first I heard of a service like this was letters.com back in 1994. My friend started it. He ended up selling the domain for 5 figures and went on to do the webcounter at digits.com.

This is now the only mac with ECC memory. I guess people don't care about ECC memory. See djb's ECC memory page for an idea of why you need ECC memory, http://cr.yp.to/hardware/ecc.html
