This sounds alot to what happened to the online sales of tickets for AC/DC in Belgium (and i suppose other places too), whom were almost impossible to buy through the ticketsales websites due to overload (the overload actually started the day before the sales even opened), and the backlash even prompted investigations by the department of commerce (since the tickets popped up on lots of black market sites).
Basicly, online sales of limited items opens a large, *VERY LARGE* window for abuse, especially if the items will only go up in value & the costs of a botnet is cheap enough.
We have a large shield around our planet, which has a special, secret password. No one can ever strip aweay our atmosphere, no matter how much they suck or blow.
Why not? It's the surface & structure of a parachute that makes it work, not the weight (although that helps), you could theoreticly create a chute out of solid gold even if that would be inpractical to say the least.
Concrete by itself doesn't float, yet it's possible to create a barge made out of contrete that does float.
What the hell are you smoking? If there's anything close to windows look it's KDE, and OSX Panther? What, pry tell, looks OSx like in GNOME? The top menu? You do realise top menu's have existed for far longer then OSX right?
If you choose an OS because it looks 'pretty' you deserve to suffer through Vista.
What advantage does the AirBook offer over the MacBook Pro? Sure, it's lighter, but at cost? Virtually no io ports (one freaking USB port? Even my Asus EEE PC has 3!), it's slower then the MBP, it lacks ethernet, and a freaking battery autonomy of less then 3 hours!
The Airbook is a useless peace of snobism, it's got a puny storage medium, no optical medium, only one usb port and a pricetag to go with it, the only thing it's got going for it is it's weight & size, and those are negated by the lack of ports & drives.
A question for ya all, who inhere actually uses "webapps"? I'm not going to be using a webbased version of Word or any such crap, hell, i don't even know any decent webapps at all.
While i agree Ja Rule is horrible, painfull shit not even worthy to call noise, let alone music, there's plenty of good bands up there too, including thousands of Indie bands
For alot of SMB's eGroupware suffice, it has calendar, contacts, tasks and whole other slew of features, including syncing with phones & other gadgets.
Sorry there buddy, but your point isn't exactly valid, Exchange isn't just a mail server (it's woofully inadequite for a mail server, want a dedicated mail server, well, get one of the FOSS ones), it's a whole lot more, and it's the "whole lot more" aspect that is Exchange's bread & butter.
If an inexperianced admin can't tackle Exchange, i doubt he'll be able to tackle Sendmail (eg) any better, no matter what application you use, you should *ALWAYS* document your setup, and anyone that's stupid enough to have no disaster recovery plans shouldn't even be allowed near the bloody thing.
There's a reason why i said "easy" with "", because it's not always easy at all, the things that *ARE* easy however, are installing Exchange & getting a basic setup running, i've found that on several FOSS systems, getting it going at all sometimes is more then an uphill battle, it's full out war.
I hate Exchange just as much as the next guy, but failure to recognise it's good points makes recognising it's flaws an excercise in futility.
Well, that's certainly nice, push-mail, activesync, mapi, all the things people like about Exchange in an open source variant, why the hell not?
I've been running OpenGroupware myself as a cheap replacement for Exchange (using funambol to replace ActiveSync) and it works nicely, but the more alternatives to Exchange the better!
I've yet to try this one, i hope it's atleast as "easy" to manage as an Exchange server tho, if you need 10 Rocket Scientists to install it, then open sourcing it won't make it magicly defeat Exchange, and sometimes i get the impression people tend to forget other people use their applications too.
You really need to read up on genetics, mutations do not remove "information", mutations are *alterations* to dna, that can be obmission of parts, badly repeated parts of dna or just new dna.
The info is out there, at your fingertips, just ask google.

Sounds like what's happening in Belgium, bickering, bitching, but no new laws (and ergo, no new taxes!)
My sister got bitten by a moose once...

I think you a word there
Intresting read, wonder why it was abandoned, safety hasards perhaps...

Is the combination 12345?
This is an excellent point. No American football player has used his feet since the NFL adopted hoverchairs into the rules in 1974.
Yea, everybody loved Captain Pike's playing, however, the incessant bleeping at the referee's ruined his career.
And you expect us to believe it exists?
This sadly also applies to Belgium, there's even a bloody 'piracy' tax on paper & printers for crying out loud. Bloody leeches
Why do you people tolerate laws like that?!
Khaaaaaan!!!

Considering it's members are American companies that's hardly supprising. Wonder if Telenet is in the same hot waters....

God i'm getting sick & tired about all the 'news' about the Apple iPhone.
Lets face it, the only good thing about the iPhone is the design (looks etc), as a platform it's about as open as a black hole.
Even Windows Mobile is more open then this piece of crud!
Or Iron Maiden, Weird Al, AC/DC, Airbourne....

I'm a last.fm user personally, and i ain't gonna switch that now, last.fm just frecking rocks

I use it, and i love it.

Argh, make the E-Groupware :)

In short, the more the merrier! Long live FOSS!
