I see. I use the bcc trick as well - it's not ideal but it works. As for keeping on the server, it's a setting in the client. In K9, for example, Settings > Account Settings > Fetching Mail > When I delete a message. K9

I like this setup. I've done something similar with POP3 on both PC and mobile: PC downloads and archives mail, but is configured not to delete it from the server for a month. Phone never deletes from the server, and at least has acc

I don't think we disagree here, unless you are proposing to build a separate road system for use by military/police/fire.

The article may imply that, but it doesn't make the case with the numbers it presents. To avoid distortion, you'd like the tax base that pays for the roads to match the usage of the roads. Because non-drivers also benefit from t

I also notice that the size of the eye changes depending on your zoom level. There are a number of ways you could explain that, but it's not clear what's actually going on.

The article makes it sound like this is primarily for the drone delivery segment. That makes some sense, because it's at least easy to define the end goal. Do you also have plans for applications where the goal isn't as easy to

Well that's true to some extent, although it remains to be seen how the motors they're using compare in reliability to an engine and conventional rotor system. Engines and rotors are pretty reliable when operated within specs. In

Right, this doesn't make much sense. You can add fly-by-wire and autonomy to a helicopter as well (it's been done). The two come from different backgrounds, though: people are familiar with "drones" being relatively che
