Ask.com laid off search engineers within the last month. Limewire had a big judgment against it recently. They have another product in the works, but they may be doing some downsizing. Sorry for the lack of sources. I'll try to come back wi

Alternatively, connect a mail client to your Gmail by IMAP, go to the "All Mail" folder, and sort by size. I just did this with Thunderbird, and it took ~30 min to download the headers of 33k+ messages.

Pro pants wearer tip: hold a buttoned pair of pants by the waist and wrap the waist around your neck. If the two ends meet (and you can still breathe), the pants will fit your waist. PS: doing this will get you some weird looks.
