Please, in 10 years I'll have 1.7TB of RAM. F--- hard disks.
1.7TB of static RAM, which will be your HD. Of course Windows 2010 Plutonium version will require 2TB and will be the only supported OS for online Presidential voting. (M$ Passport required)
I have three suggestions on how you can sell your boss on Telecommuting:
Map out your daily activities throughout the week detailing:
time spent on the phone
collaborating with peers
time wasted chatting
time spent doing other people's work because they asked for help
time in the lunchroom/going out for lunch
be cautious, some of these may get you fired:)
If you are salaried share with him that you would be taking a shorter lunch and will be better rested for your day since you are cutting 4 hours off your drive time.
Bribe him with 9 hour days vs. 8.
More benefits include losing less work time for personal time off for short errands which can only be done during 8-5. One 1/2 hour appointment at 10 gets you to work at 12:30.
Some set backs to your plan will be getting your phone extension at home, possible increased cell phone expenses, reimbursement for a high speed internet connection, etc. Make sure you include solutions for these.
It's ironic. All of these religions which these misguided fundamentalist-whacko "leaders" (such as Osama Bin Laden and Jerry Falwell) supposedly follow condemn the most the Bin Ladens and Falwells of the world, who use God's Name to mislead people, or cause people to commit terrible atrocities.
My beliefs are right with yours, however, we must know that bin Laden is not a Fundamentalist in the normal definition. He is not trying to run a society closer to the exact interpretation of the Muslim religion. Contraversially, he is funding the training of a new militant generation of soldiers who dispise any religion other than their grossly missinterpreted version.
Osama bin Laden must be dealt with my the US military, however, we can not become a martyr! As was said in the movie Gladiator, 'they must kill your name first.' Once his name has been reduced in popularity through his personal suffering, then we can truely erase his influence and destiny of USA disasters.

What about backup support? Is there anyone out there with experience with mailbox/message restoring on the mainframe side?
I consult for many small businesses that use Exchange and I frequently have to perform restores of mailboxes/messages, especially for those users who use their deleted items folder as a storage location. Restoration is pretty simple, but the licensing for Backup Exec or Arcserve are pretty costly and should have been included in these totals.
"That is not MS problem that your wife does not know HTML.
Frontpage is a tool to be used for certain tasks and if you find it limiting then there are other options.
MS does produce GUI only tools because that is what market wants."
My point here is that Microsoft is writing their applications to be mostly wizard-driven to make their applications functional to the lower skilled public. Unfortunately, this process makes their applications harder to automate except if you use their tools (wscript, Win API, ASDI, etc.).
If there is a huge demand for CLI tools why there are no other companies trying to fill that niche?"
Microsoft does not care if users want CLI tools, they are only going to deploy tools that fit into their.NET strategy. One of the only contradictions I can think of is the addition of a telnet server on Windows 2000. Of course we all know the telnet server is useless and that they should have included an ssh server/client instead, but at least it is a start.
Hpaq has already mentioned that to gain profitability they are going to expand their consulting roles. Linux offers a perfect solution for the combined monolith. Offer a SMB solution: hardware, OS (Linux), and consulting. For a premium price the customer can have a Novell or Microsoft product installed, but why would they when they can have the whole solution installed professionally for less than the hardware/premium OS cost?
You may think I am wrong, but what if they concentrate on niche markets like firewalls, proxy servers, print servers, etc.? Samba 2.x can extend an NT 4 enterprise increasing reliability and fault tolerance, why not capitalize on bringing Linux to the mainstream corporate market backed by the HP/Compaq names.
IBM may be embracing Linux, but I feel the HP/Compaq alliance could deploy more linux servers than IBM. The combined name recognition of Compaq and HP in the SMB and enterprise markets equates to affordable performance. IBM, in comparison is known mostly for their high price tag.
Good luck on your merger Hpaq, and I do hope you continue to support and improve Linux for everyone.
HP Management on Compaq servers

I have always preferred Comapaq x86 servers to the HP equivalent mostly for their ease of server support. However, Insight Manager is really a poor program and does not come close to HP Openview for server operations management.
My dream is to have HP keep the SmartStart team, embrace and simplfy management of Linux servers, and bundle HP Openview Express with each purchased server.
Will it happen, probably not anytime soon. But, before the Itanium servers start making their way to small to midsize business I believe this could be a combination to give IBM and Dell a really big scare.
Hell, while I am dreaming, bundle a central management database like NDS for Linux (Hey HP, buy Novell too:) and then lets see how bad the Redmond crew will sweat.
Has it occured to anyone that Microsoft may be dictating the unavailability of drivers?
I believe that a desktop OS cannot be complete in a home/small office setting without support for low end printing (i.e. DeskJets). Microsoft has been known to perform manipulative practises like this in the past, what is to say they are not collaborating with HP to slow the deployment of Linux DeskJet drivers. Hmmm...any other conspiracy theories?
Most definitely they should be charged! Those pirating scoundrals, burn them all. In fact, I will testify that I got my copy from a link in www.nytimes.com. Sign me up for that witness list.
But of course! They had to release their own language because Judge Jackson is most likely will require them to release their API sets. Why release them to the public using a common language when M$ can make more C-(h)ash this way. I can hear Bill laughing in the court room now:)
Best solution here is to get a DSL at each location from their respective phone company/provider. Then you can use a VPN to link the two together to effectively be on the same network. The trick to getting the DSLs to work is to have a point to point, all-copper, connection. At no time can the line be linked to fiber. Traversing between different telcos will most likely break the copper connection. Brian Kronberg
With the new smell technology and streaming sound you could... Now you too can have the virtual experience of being married. Just point your web browser to www.lonely-woman.com and experience a 250 lb. man scratching and farting while drinking beer, eating bean dip nachos, and watching football. No more do you have to sit at home and feel lonely like no one else is there. Helps keep away burglars too! For all of those men out there who cannot find a woman as good as Mom. Here is your answer. Just pop into www.lonely-man.com and smell dinner being prepared. Get close to your virtual date and smell her purfume as you nuzzle against her neck. Hear her giggle as your hands start to wander. And as you get close to pay dirt, wham, you can now smell blood from the gash on your forehead. Brian:)

True there are no winners in a war, except if we totally kick ass like we did in Desert Storm.
From this moment on acts of terrorism should no longer be a judicial process but be considered exactly what they are, acts of war.

Everytime my wife cannot get Frontpage to do what she wants it to do I have to come and fix it by editing the code directly.
So as long as Microsoft sticks to producing GUI only tools, CLI competent people will still be able to outperform their GUI counterparts.
