No, they don't. I even remember that the prices for legal Microsoft software in one of those "developing nations" were higher than prices in the USA. And it's not only Microsoft, some other companies (Audodesk, Adobe, Apple) also keep highe

I remember reading a while ago about an initiative to switch Emacs elisp implementation to use Guile backend. I haven't been watching that closely. Does anyone have more information about the status of that project/initiative?

Mailinator has deduplicating. In fact, it has all sorts of nice optimizations, and the author writes about it quite eloquently. I wish mailinator backend could be used for mail servers instead of Exchange ;)

Of course you could do that, I also do that sometimes, but after being welcomed in such an unrespectful way I just didn't want to bother, since I assumed the quality of the article is the same as "welcome" message.
