Where I live, the pager systemwas shut down ten years ago. Nobody used them, nobody miss them. A cheap non.smart phone lasts for a week on moderate use.
The reason for closing down is in the last post on the page:

The owner of Lavabit tells us that he's stopped using email and if we knew what he knew, we'd stop too.
There is no way to do Groklaw without email. Therein lies the conundrum.
What to do?"
So the unavailability of secure email effectively stopped the site.
So when old versions of Windows are not supported on new hardware, you have to throw away the old hardware on which all Windows versions are supported? What did I miss here?
The whole point is that when a new industial building of ant type is built, don't build it in residential areas.
To use page load for a web page as an argument for locating the datacenters in a residential area is pretty silly. The data travel at the speed of light. Whenter the data come from the next door building or in some industrial area away from resideltial areas has no impact on page load.
If the industry was there first, it is a different issue, but that is not what is being discussed here.
The whole point is that you build them far enough from where people live ("populated areas") so that they do not hear the generators, or will be impacted if the diesel tanks go up in flame. That does not mean you need to bulld them in the middle of nowhere.
It does not have to be "out in the sticke". It is just a question of separating housing from industry. With some planning, the distance does not even have to be more than a few hundred meters.
I live 4 minutes drive from an "unpopulated area". There are only offices shops and light industry (and a small datacenter), and it is not a nuisance for anybody. "Unpopulated" does not mean it needs to be in the middle of Sahara. It is just that there is a fair distance between the industry and where people live.
There is no reason to build those datacenters in populated areas. The very nature of the datacenters is to provide services to remote customers, so datacenters are perfect candidates for being located at a comfortable distance from where people live.
The best way to ensure the person gets the emails in a nice readable form is to export them to a PST file. Burn it on a DVD and give it to your manager and say exactly what it is and why you did it. Then the rest is up to him.
...and I know that some companies block PST creation in Outlook. No problem. Just a registry value. Google it if you need it.
How do you know that nothing happened?
I can assure you that any security breach in our company (we have moved off XP, by the way, so at least that is not an attack vector) would not be published anywhere. And I expect that is how most companies work.
block your 2003 machines from the network if you plan to keep them. That is what our security people will do.
The date for end of support for 2003 has been known for like 10 years so there has been enough time to prepare for it.
IT security is not about "what can we get away with". It is about being ready before the bad people strike. And they will. And you may not even notice.
It is not a technical issue, it is much more a political issue. Moving to an all electronic voting systyem has not even been discussed. Getting political and public acceptance for it would tale a long time.

An extra cheap non.smar phone easily lasts a week on a charge.

You REALLY have to stopp polluting the discussion with facts.

The priing is in the link provided.
In short, it starts around $800 before discounts.
The virtualization layer is not really relevant for the VM licensing, whether it is Hyper-V or VMware (or anyhing else).
norhing of value was lost.

There is already the SPF policy framework. No need to invent something new. http://www.openspf.org/
...but luckily, Windows has one. It just needed SSH (yes, a lot of users have asked for it).
They inherited that from Sun.
The question is so stupid that the only reasonable explanation I can find for posting it is that it is just trolling.

As everybody else with alternatives to IPv6: you are 25 years too late.
(albeit with weird proprietary hardware)
You are correct for the big boxes, but there was clustering over ethernet for the MicroVAXen.
... Nuff said.
That was voting machines with touch screens used in voting in USA.
In the Norwegian tests, the participants used private computers with a web based application.
Impossible? How come?
It is not a technical issue, it is much more a political issue. Moving to an all electronic voting systyem has not even been discussed. Getting political and public acceptance for it would tale a long time.
