Why have you set up Thunderbird or out look lately ? Unless you use advanced settings and manually set things up both set yahoo and gmail up for imap that's why. When you use both for the first time they ask you for your email address and password and thats it unless you use advance settings.

kain preacher

Yahoo mail. or Yahoo email servers. ISP like ATT use yahoo and when you leave ATT that email turns into a free yahoo email account.

Oh no, Silicon Valley! Failed startup CEO on fraud rap after allegedly bullsh*ting staff and refusing to pay them

In an indictment unsealed on Wednesday, Isaac Choi, founder and CEO of failed Silicon Valley job search startup WrkRiot, was charged with five counts of wire fraud for allegedly defrauding former employees.

Re: The WannaCry outbreak has forced the NHS to overhaul its crisis planning...

Yes and switching from MS to FLOsS will fix every thing cause the issue is the software not mind set. I mean cause if they can't find funds to to hire proper MS admins every thing will be fixed by running NHSbuntu, Because the same folks that volunteered to make NHSbntu will give their time to maintain and operate MHSbuntu.. An idiot with a gun that has a safety on it is still an idiot. It will just take them a few seconds longer to shoot them self.

That's media hype el reg bull shit. What happens this you get charged with 10 counts of a crime. Now the punishment is is 10 years for the crime. What media whore sits do is says well 10 years for each count so that means he could do a 100 years. No He will be convicted on on all counts and do the time currently. If you notice towards the bottom el reg said it's most likely he will do 10-14. Now for crimes like murder and rape the point of giving 120 years so the do life with out the chance of parole

Lane spiting should not be done at more than 25 mph and should only be done if traffic is slow moving, close to a stop.

kain preacher

Re: @kain preacher

If driving the speed limit cause traffic jams then there is some thing else wrong such as the limit is way to slow. I've never had that problem in California because most people do at least 10 over. 85 on 65 free way is common.

Now for me when I'm doing 85 in the left lane and some comes up and is pissed that I'm driving that slow I tend to get over so that person can get away from me . Now the one thing that does tends to make irritate me ,is do to traffic I can only do 55 in 65 and some ass hat behind me gets mad as if I can magically drive faster or through the cars in front of me . you know the kind that starts honking his horn, flashing his lights.

The other silly issue I've had is being in the slow lane towing. Hey there are three other lanes to go around me.

kain preacher

Re: @kain preacher

I never said you can stay in the left lane in every state. You can in California , but not in states like michgian . and yes you can stay in the left lane and only be doing the speed limit in California.

kain preacher

Re: @kain preacher

Dough not if you are doing the speed limit

People get tickets for Passing in the right. Most states in the US the left lane is for passing only. Yes it would be easy for a jurry to find the bike at fault. I don;t know if you have every been to the US but no it's not common to pass on the right
