    No hookers on Craigslist? Great…now the Dow is really going to plummet!

    Darn!! How come I find out about these useful services just as they are getting shut down? Good thing “The Local Shopper” is still printed weekly.

    #2,

    Phone book, under escorts. Generally they list rates and types of product.

    Also, Perkel has a pretty good guide about how the whole things works.

    Startup idea – based in Nevada:
    MyPimp.com

    J/P=?

    “Can Windows 7 fit on a notebook? Some say no.”

    Typical. This year’s software will only work on _next_ year’s machines.

    #3–Greg==I checked. Right you are. A Simple google works too as well as trying to find a website for “How to cure a sore throat.”

    I think I read somewhere that Balmer said that Win7 would fit on a netbook. I would think they would almost have to make it fit. XP is getting pretty old. On the Hotmail I actually like the new look. It works much better then Comcast mail which I have as a second address. You want bad web mail just try MobileMe from Apple.

  8. QB says:

    Wow, there is money to be made with a escort web site. Let’s see:

    Needs Google maps
    Must be more secure than the Pentagon
    Payment records must be masked
    Needs a Blackberry interface

    The economy is on it’s heels so you gotta go where the money is.

    The Craigslist plan has a flaw: Most of these companies already have websites, and are easy to track.

    The only thing the AGs’ plan does is get a handle on “independent escorts” (whores without pimps). That doesn’t solve the problem of these people selling their services.

    no more hookers on CL? I would occasionally look at those adds just for a quick cheap LAUGH!

    Hi I’m _________ and I’m new in town for just a few weeks…”massage”…50 roses…in call only…no blocked calls…clean and discreet…

  11. From the Hotmail user (perfect as a spam lightning-rod email account):
    MS have been changing Hotmail design both in features and looks for quite a while. This change brought up some pointless (and in my opinion ugly) bits: Font have been changed to one of the MS fonts (font you’d see as a default for window name in the bar on top of the window in XP). This change made me to ban site-defined fonts in my browser. Action buttons (ex, New, Delete,…) lost their icons, just names remain. No big bother – but why skip icons when most new software is going toward visual representations…?
    On the really bad side, they didn’t correct some bad design and functionality introduced in previous changes. Two most glaring ones: You can’t change the number of e-mails displayed on the page. Number is fixed to 25. If you have modern monitor and use it properly, this may leave half of your Hotmail page empty (plain white space). Nuts. Worst security issue: you still can’t see full headers! Phishing masters rejoice…
