Sun Launches Instant Messaging Server
theIG writes "According to this article at geek.com, and another one at InternetWeek, Sun has shipped the first part of its new enterprise collaboration platform to compete with Exchange and Domino. Dubbed 'Sun ONE Instant Messaging 6.0,' this server will work with other products to be released in May, to allow a single login for all of its services that allow connections from outside a corporate firewall." Instant messaging is becoming increasingly popular in the workplace. Local messaging servers like this were only the next logical step for businesses which don't wish to rely on an outside network for their messaging.
Get this thing started.
Sounds more like the score
Sun: 1, Instant Messaging: 6
You all suck balls
Comments: -> Hey, anyone remember that Thin Client thing? Man, was that a bad idea! -> No, think clients are a great idea. Most people just need X! -> Who uses Solaris? Use Linux, its much better! -> Don't be an asshole. Anyone who has run Oracle knows it only runs well on Solaris. -> Oracle sucks, use MySQL for everything.

One unfortunate side effect of Gulf War II has been the complete disappearance of affable Iraqi information minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf.
We say unfortunate because al-Sahaf will go down in history as one of the most entertaining mouthpieces of tyranny ever to grace the international stage.
So, while al-Sahaf's ancestor Josef Goebbels could only muster po-faced rantings about "total war" as Berlin burned around him, our man in Baghdad amazed the world with his up-beat optimism and cheery smile.
Indeed, it takes a class act to declare that ""There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!", while laser-guided munitions whistle around your ears. And who can forget the immortal "No, I am not scared and neither should you be!"
But, despite al-Sahaf's swift exit from the propaganda stage, we can rest assured that his performances will continue to entertain future generations thanks to www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com.
The site is a celebration of all things al-Sahaf, who is "currently on administrative leave". As well as a comprehensive compendium of Sahafisms, readers might enjoy the section speculating as to what spin our hero might have applied to great battles of history. The D-Day landings? No problem: "Americans? What Americans? There are no American infidels in France, never!"
Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, we salute you. And, were it not for the fact that you are (were?) the wise-cracking face of a brutal and murderous regime, we'd like to think that you'd always find a home with the British Labour Party. You're a lot more entertaining than Clare Short, that's for certain. ®
If you don't support the president's war you're UNAMERICAN! After all, he's the president, it must be true. What does not supporting an illegal war condemned by the world have to do with living in the USA? The only places that don't tolerate dissent (such as what you are saying) are the countries the USA puts on it's hitlist.
Anyway, the USA is repeating history, it's around Nazi Germany 1937 about now - and you're one of it's brainwashed subjects.
