Or like most sites which deal with huge bandwidths, when you get a hit, cache the generated output minus any 'user specific' content, apply the user specific content and send, then if another user comes along within 30 seconds and wants the same page, youve already got a copy made and ready to give to him, just put in the user specific bits and send.
That's why the slashdot storys page doesn't update imidately, it's a cached one but with your user specific bits written in at the top:)
Admitidly I can see a company doing two things easilly, banning personal calls, and stipulating that all business calls should be made on company provided mobiles and land-lines.
But it's just plain insane to say no to all mobiles, I think that if everyone in any work place suddenly stoped using there mobile phones, I'm sure productivity would drop though the floor.
If theve done this, it'll probably be for a reason, that reason may have got lost in meeting one, but it might be a point to ask them, why?, and then ask them why they didn't just ban personal calls inside business hours as mobiles are becoming increasingly significant for contacting people in the business enviroment.
If it cost $45, I'd probably buy two copies, but it costs $444.73 from my local store (XP Pro, Retail).

Alas I fear this wouln't work, since the transaction would be done between your ISP's email server and there ISP's email server, every email would have to be processed, and because this system doesn't do anything to prevent forgery, a white-list of acceptabele emails you some how upload to your ISP's email server wouln't be to great either, you'd just get spams from faked well-known sources like the amazon order conformation, or any other popular web retailer or information service.
SPF + SMTP AUTH + Blacklist of Senders's instead of IP's = Everything we need, and it has very few problems, unlike M$'s versions, XML in DNS... someone needs to hit them with reality.
Apart from the usual critisims, I fear it doesn't even meet it's design remit.
Although some cars with no bonet/hood access are coming out, they really are horrid, and I would think that after some time women would discover this is even more a worry to them than if they can lift the hood... why, because if you go to your local garage and they tell you they changed the sparkplugs, the oil filter and several other things, at least with a hood even an amateur who knows nothing about cars can lift it up, pull off the fly-leeds and see a shiny metal stud on some nice clean ceramic, and a brightly colored clean oil filter and be happy they wern't conned, but this way there's no way to check and you could be ripped off left right and center, and a lot of women fear they do get ripped off because of the people knowing in general women won't know how to check to see if the work has really been done.
Gull wing doors... apart from the horrid fear what happens when one of those things opens at speed, what happens when they brake... you have to struggle to lift the things and they can fall on you... yay women would love that, all that's needed is a lower rim on the doors to preserve modisty, not that many professional women (the target of the car) wear skirts these days, in favor of a more formal suit.
And then of course, it's uguly, admitidly the professional executive woman would probably like a car which says don't fu** with me, I ran over 3 kids on the way in and no I won't be taking maternity leave, but really the vast majority would like something more friendly which they could feel some emotional attachment with, the car that will keep them and there familly safe as they move from place to place, if not an extension of the familly sitting snug in the garage.
All in all, I'd rather have a Nissan Micra, a Ford Fiesta or a Pergot 506, or whatever the new Pergot is;)
You have to set out to cause terror to be a terrorist, seting out to really piss off some people you don't like isn't terrorism it's just normal computer crime.
Terrorism has to be an act designed to create terror.
Admitidly it wouln't be to hard to include the extra features into scanners etc, since all EU bank notes have as pointed out elsewhere a easilly recongisable pattern of circles on them, but it would probably add 10% to the price of all scanners/etc, so it's not something that can be written off that easilly.
But then in england weve got the classical special paper and special inks, then metal strip woven though the paper, (hits the surface and goes back under), the watermark and these days, a hologram on every single one.
Apart from idiot checkout attendants, I can't see anything this law would protect, but it would damage the budget scanner/printer/photo market.
And well the US is a strange place, they could just say in 10 years time all dolar bills issued before x with the old design will no longer be common tender and can be refused by people, though banks will exchange them for new bills, and then include a large ammount of lovely security features on new bills. People entering the country with old bills can have them replaced with new ones after close examination, etc.
You can grow corn on a field several hundred miles square for a fraction, and I mean a fraction like 0.01% of the cost of tiling the whole thing with solar pannels.

ANSI C is available for more platform than there are Java, SUN doesn't just build JVM's for everyone and I remember one small platform shelled out a huge ammount of money to get a 1.someting version of java which was soon useless and they couln't afford to get a newer version.
And remember, Java isn't multyplatform, It only works on one platform, the JVM.
It's about blocking the gain of simple portscanners.. but I'd rather see a OpenBSD style system for linux, login via ssh and it allows you modified firewall rules to gain access to other systems, login securely then you can use IMAP/POP/etc.
No one reads them and everyone just goes on with it anyway, if people finally stoped, sat down, read the terms and conditions on things, and then refused to buy a product/service because of the terms and conditions we might see companies fix them to attract more customers. As it is, they don't because they can do anything they like legally and they loose no money in lost revinue, so it's all good for them.
But only 3 types of thread.... oh come on no one gives a smeg if it's round headed, or has a hex fitting or something else, it's the thread which counts, and there's only 3 types you have to worry about, CD/Floppy, Fan's and the screw which goes everywhere else:)
Admitidly it'd be nice to have a better SMTP purely on the grounds that it's an old protocal and could do with a scrub up and some new brass.
But what's really needed is a simple 'did you send this email' to validate the sender did send the email, a simple handshake which would instantly force the From: field to be correct, solving most problems.
Another layer of security could be brought in with header-checking at each server to ensure the header given by the last server was accurate, problem is virtually all servers use diferent formats for these strings.
A XML version of SMTP would be nice, the current effort XMTP only really has use in processing SMTP data for presentation on various devices, and makes no effort to tidy up the mess of un-readable headers, see: XMTP.
Couln't they have run this scheme in England... *looks around at the 1000's of empty pepsi bottles strewn around his geek domain* oh well soon at least I'll have enough tops to tile the bathroom with them.
I can definately say Teamspeak is a very good option, it's not perfect but for the price of nothing more than your internet connection you can talk with a sweetheart on the other side of the world... and no huge international phone charges.
Unfortunately, the report came out in the other direction, white wash? as the frontpage of the independent asks, I can't say for certain but it seems to put a lot of blaim on journalists who were only doing there job and not a shread of blame on the goverment who are using the report saying the BBC were at fault to walk away clean from a war that was started for no good reason at all (alas in the modern world you can't invade because you don't like the way another goverment treets it's citizens).
And then the goverment get the BBC director to resign over it, somedays I wish the goverment would just seperate itself from the BBC just a little bit more, interfearing because you don't like what there reporting isn't a good way to promote the freedom of the press.

Trust me on this, it now explains what to do, how to do it and it's nice and simple... compared to a user manual for my printer from 10 years ago, it's more concise, perhaps less comprehensive, where's the list of printer controll codes, status messages, and a annotated disassembly of the unit?
Don't diss the student, he's probably a better programmer than the guy who wrote most of the Nvidia drivers, but he doesn't have an armory of code testing tools, the official hardware specification and large chunks of pre-written increadably optimised code to which the IP belongs to other companies yet nvidia bought so they could improve there drivers.
"BBC is complicit in the death of Dr. Kelly and the 'sexing up' of the Iraq dossier." Complicit: to ssociated with or participating in a questionable act or a crime.
The BBC have been biting at the heels of the goverment, ever since they caught a wiff of the fact the goverment did sex it up, theve been hounding them like a rabbid dog, if it wasn't for the BBC, I doubt we'd even have an inquiry, they were in no way complicit with it, they didn't even allow it to go by without being noticed.
Yes perhaps this did lead to the death of poor Dr. Kelly, but that was because the goverment wanted a fall guy, not the BBC's doing and depending on the outcome of the report the goverment could be in some deep doo-doos.
