I'm not quite sure why anyone like me would want to use Outlook and Exchange.
However, I learned long ago that most people aren't like me. Companies seem to go with whatever the IT director likes the most. If you happen to have an MCSE'd IT director, you'll probably be using Outlook and Exchange.
They'll let you use their idea, but only if you grant MS the same rights to any of your implementations of their idea. They're working on patenting their "CallerID for email" idea.
Lucky you have an uncle who's a doctor. Most rashes will go away on their own, anyway. There're only a few (Lyme Disease) that cause possible long-term health problems if ignored.
Telling a patient his or her issue is not that grave is, and has pretty much always been, part of a good doctor's job.

Of course, it's still possible that he didn't prescribe a high enough dosage. Or that he was doing it because he wanted to see how you reacted to a low dose before upping it. Either way, he probably should have explained what he was doing, instead of blaming the patient for looking at a website.
Many doctors don't like taking the time to explain things, since (at least the way I think they might see it) it takes time away from their other patients, and/or golf.

Check with your doctor. Mine specifically encourages me to check things out on the net.
Of course, he warned against some of the more "out-there" sites that make extravagant claims. "This new patented product will make your ___ get bigger, your mind faster, your personal relationships perfect, and cure any cancer you might have"
Most people know their own bodily symptoms much better than a doctor who only sees it once a month or even less. Doctors are not God, despite playing Him on TV. They may be good, but do you know what they call the guy who graduated from medical school in last place? "Doctor"

Or the ones they show before they have FDA approval, which merely have a few interesting images, like flowers in a field, or pets playing in the yard. Then they state the name of the product, and say "ask your doctor about product-of-the-month". That's it, no information about what the drug treats, because they haven't gotten the complete approval yet.
When you charge a bunch of serially connected subcells, you are charging them all at the same time, since the current flows through all of them. So, if it takes 1 hour to serially charge a group of 8 cells, it will still take 1 hour to charge a single cell, assuming the same rate of charge (current).
Your "absurd case" isn't correct. It's not just the power in the mains that's a problem. It's also the "take half the battery bank to neighbor's house." 91 Amps isn't a small amount of current at 220 either.
They may do this parallel charging with some phone batteries, I've noticed that some of the charging connections have more pins than the connection from the battery to the phone itself. Phone batteries usually have only one or two subcells.
Check the voltage of the battery. If it's NiMH or NiCd, divide by 1.2 or so, and find out how many cells are in series.
There's a possibility that Tzero is doing multiple parallel banks. I can't tell, I don't own one, and don't have the owner's manual either. I think they mention connecting it to 240 volt power, in which case, they are sort of using two 120 volt connections at once.
Click on the "Click for PNG link". Then click on some of the icons on his map. It's more involved than you think. Scanned receipts from that location, including what was purchased, and how much he paid for it. It's not just a map, and it certainly wasn't generated by Quicken or MS Money, unless those two programs have gotten significantly more powerful than I thought.
You're still missing something. If nearly everyone is behind a NAT, and 25% of users don't know what a port is, or why you'd need to forward one... Any attempt at person to person connection to that 25% of users will require a centralized server with a known (not necessarily static) address. Multiple P2P connections without NAT would not require a server. Servers and good fast rack space aren't free. If you want more than a very few people to get your Blogs, ICQ, IM, and IRC, they all require a server somewhere with a nonNAT IP.
Did you happen to read anything else Jon W wrote? "Digital Imprimatur"? How about the "Unicard" paper? Ever used AutoCAD?
I don't think he'd complain about gopher, turbobrowser, or hotline not being used any more. From what I can see, those weren't peer-to-peer either, though I've never seen Turbobrowser or Hotline in action.
Charging speed limitations are a combination of more factors than just the amount of power available. One of them is the temperature limit. Speed charging a battery faster than it is rated for could damage the battery, or reduce the life.
Also, no one outside of Tzero (maybe a few other EVs) owners and battery manufacturers needs to recharge 7000 cells at once.
I suspect the Tzero's internal charging system is fairly complex. Based on info from the Lead-Acid version of Tzero, the recharger is rated at 20 kW. That's around 90.9 amps at 220V.
So, there hasn't been an incident in a modern non-Russian reactor since 1979, and the three mile incident wasn't as much of a disaster as it was an "oops"? 24 years incident free seems safe to me.

Thanks for misreading... Did I ever say "Check for '.com'"? No. The furthest back I went was to company.com. I'm thinking of checking more than just the possibly forged from address. "Received:" headers for example.
A normal From address doesn't include "@machine1.domain.com" unless machine1 is actually accessible as a mail server from the outside. The only place you'd likely see machine1.domain.com is in the Received headers, going out to the company's mail server, then the outside world if necessary.
If you check From headers, you should be able to easily extend that to checking Received headers.
This too: Not every company has the money or the reason to afford IT support for whom properly changing a configuration option of a server is trivial.
I think the main reasons it went away was that it cost buyers "More than they thought it's worth", and was soon easily almost duplicated using cheap home computers. Not exactly duplicated, because I hear you can fit more MP3s on a CD than the old CD Music standard would provide.
Like nearly every industry on the planet, the music industry is having trouble keeping up with the technological changes wrought by an "infinite" number of bored software developers. If they'd just convince more companies to start hiring again, the RIAA wouldn't have as much trouble keeping up.
All new-style CDs will come with an unskippable first track, containing the music equivalent of some DVD video's FBI/Interpol "Illegal copying is prosecuted by the FBI" warning in as many different languages as required. (hopefully not the 14 or so different languages warning "not a flotation device" on a beach ball I once purchased)
The "changing stance of the EFF" on copyright issues indicates that EFF is paying more attention to what technology is doing than the RIAA. The currently legislated solution in the US is, well, not as much of a compromise as it should be. Several of the first few people indicated in the press as being targetted by the RIAA didn't have much say in the legislative process.
The RIAA has been trying, ever since the cassette tape came out, to come up with an uncopyable distribution medium, so that they can get the money they want from every listener. The CD was uncopyable when it came out, but not for long. The DVD was uncopyable when it first came out, but not for long. Since they failed technologically, they are now trying other means.
What the RIAA dreams about, as far as I can see from here, is a world in which every single bit of musical content is given a price. It might be, oh, 3 MB for $5. Given the actual cost of storage, as long as copying is possible, they'll never make it.
1) Any "good" domain-based spam filter checks for the existence of the suffixed DN as well. So for a domain of "machineDNEoutsideWall.domain.company.com", it looks for that, and "domain.company.com", and "company.com". If any of those exist, it should pass the mail on to the rest of the mail filters, possibly increasing any "spammish" score if it had to remove anything.
2) It used to be harder to guess "good" domain names than it is now. One thing that sometimes happens with (stupider) spammers is that the machine they were using to send email gets kicked off DNS by the ISP. So, while it might have been valid for the first few messages, it stops being valid later. It doesn't anymore though, since verisign matches everything that does not exist.
3) Verisign can't seem to come up with any good matches for " Verisign" in its search box.
A coworker built a Linux machine, with a simple RAID setup using an "IDE splitter" card to mirror the two disks. It ran Samba, and was used as the CAD/CAE archive for the Electronic Design Automation department.
Two years after he left that company, I asked a friend in the IT department how well that server was working. "Oh, it's great, we just reboot it once every few months". Unlike the proprietary massive RAID box (>8U rack space) from a (fairly)wellknown company, which had 27 or so disks, requiring the rebuilding or replacement of one (expensive, provided "free" with the maintenance fee) disk every few months.
10000 hours MTBF, with 27 disks, works out to one failure every few months on average. I wish I could find that website that explained the math to determine the MTBF of multiple critical items, which is not equal the MTBF of one of them. Once I found it, I knew why that server was never going to seem as reliable as the two-disk Linux Samba machine.
The problem with the Samba machine? Low bandwidth compared to the 4 network connections on the massive RAID box. But that wasn't really a problem in this application, since the archives weren't read that often.
The key is to match the solution with the problem.
