Ask Slashdot: Self-Hosted Gmail Alternatives?
linkedlinked writes "I'm tired of building my sandcastles on Google's beachfront. I've moved off Docs, Plus, and Analytics, so now it's time to host my own email servers. What are the best self-host open-source email solutions available? I'm looking for 'the full stack' — including a Gmail-competitive web GUI — and don't mind getting my hands dirty to set it up. I leverage most of Gmail's features, including multi-domain support, and fetching from remote POP/IMAP servers. Bonus points: Since I'm a hobbyist, not a sysadmin, and I normally outsource my mail servers, what new security considerations do I need to make in managing these services?"
Ready or not America, here comes Rick Perry into the presidential race -- the Republican party's new God-talking rock star.
He's not yet officially announced, but when Perry addressed a crowd estimated at 30,000 at Houston's Reliant Stadium at The Response, a Christian prayer event that was his brainchild, the Texas governor positioned himself as a Presidential candidate.
An official announcement at this point seems anti-climactic.
In a 13-minute speech beamed to the audience filling almost half of the stadium seats via three 18-by-24-foot projection screens, Perry frequently invoked God. He spoke of and prayed for challenges facing the nation, including the safety of President Barack Obama and his family, and he talked of the nation more than he zeroed in on Texas, his home state.
Perry is expected to officially announce his campaign for the Republican party's presidential nomination as early as this week. But it was clear as Gov. Perry beamed upon the stage to the adoration of thousands, many who stood and reached out to him as he approached the stage and spoke, that the event in Houston was his true national political coming out party.

I would say it's because Google, the once considered "benevolent internet benefactor" has been changing its terms rapidly in ways that users are unable to accept. Their anti-anonymity push is enough to push most of us out the door. And the way they are tying everything together is creating an "all or nothing" environment that reminds me of Microsoft's integrating MSIE and Windows.
And Google is just getting started.

The last thing the USA needs is another president who views the world through the filter of some religion or other. Paying lip-service to one is tolerable (Clinton, Bush sr, etc.), and may even be a political requirement with such an unsophisticated and poorly educated electorate, but actually being a fervent "believer" is probably a recipe for disaster or at least alienation (Bush jr, Carter).
