Someone changed the name of the account as well as my mailing address which is why I could not reset my password. Even worse, my dear old hacker went through some old emails I had and found information on an account I had on Ebay. The hacker then proceeded to login to my Ebay account and starting bidding and buying like it was Christmas time... Oh by the way, never heard or received back any type of communication from Yahoo!."
And this is why I'm weary of 'in-the-cloud' services - you have no control over your data anymore.

I am becoming a fan of Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz.
1 FaverViewed: 2 TimesQuoted: Asked about whether Yahoo should display more hard news on its home page, Bartz said, “I’m with you. If I see another thing on Britney Spears, I will throw up.” The intent, she said, is to deliver news that people want in a personalized way.

"Adobe Flex Builder 3 Pro is available for free to students and faculty of eligible education institutions."
Although Flex 3 is open source, there isn't a decent IDE out there for it apart from Adobe's commercial Flex Builder 3. Luckily, they've made it free for students here - just fill in the form and attach a scanned copy of your student card. Only takes a day or two to get the key. Pretty neat stuff.
