As mentioned, in 3-4 years when they cluster is no longer used, they will then have 1,100 desktop machines for use in labs / offices. I have a strange feeling they will be used then, and the fact taht VT will be able to remove 1,100 machines from it's needs that year will probably save them a couple bucks as well.

99.99999999999% of the time, if it works on Mozilla and Safari, it works on "modern" versions of PC IE.
IE has two ways fo doing things, the W3C way (which works in the above browsers) and the 'leftover' way from IE4. Unfortunately, lots of deveoplers learned the IE4 way, and still use it, which reslts in most web-compatability issues.
If you'd read the original post, there are a huge number of folders with over 2000 msgs in them. I use Mail.app daily, I have roughly 15-17,000 messages "in play" and it runs fine. However, I do archive every month, so I can't say what happens at 100,000+
Don't know how many mesages the first guy had, but I'm guessing it a whole lot more than 20k. Either that, or they have no RAM =)
Um... archive? I don't think any Mail app (that's not CLI only) will handle that, OS X or not.
Have them create a folder for each one they use with '_archive' at the end. Every week, move everything two weeks old into it, quit Mail.app, then make a.tgz of that folder (in ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Folder_archive/) to a filename with the date and then trash everything in it. Repeat.
Obviously, adjust the frequency to suit needs, but I doubt anyone needs instant access to mails that are weeks old.... worst case, you can grep through the archives by date.
Just burn SCO down, find out what law firm those fucks are using, burn that down, beat the shit out of Darl, and tell him he'll get worse if he keeps it up.

Here's a crazy thought: China takes GPLed software, mods it, and then doesn't give anything back. What's the FSF going to do, cry to the WTO until they are blue in the face?

Normally one buys stock in hopes that it will go up. "Shorting" a stock is agreeing to purchase stock at a future date in hopes it will go down.
In a nutshell, it's the reverse of a "normal" stock trade... you actually SELL first, THEN buy later.
ex: I believe SCO is going to tank, so I 'sell' 100 shares today at $3 each. In one months, which is how long I bought my short for, I then buy the stock for $1 and (minus commissions, minus the fees for the 3rd party who has to cover the month where I didn't have the stock I sold) I make money.

The difference is that the phone systems "content" is generated at both ends in real time, then goes away, except in rare cases like movie-phone and stuff like that.
Internet content is generated and stored "somewhere" by "someone" and then is accessed by anyone at any time after that, which then makes the "something" akin to property.. who owns the content? Who is allowed to access the "somewhere" that it is stored? Who decides what "someones" are allowed to store content?
These are the issues at stake / conention I think.

Pull your head out of your ass and read the news. As pointed out many, many times (though you still seem to feel the need to be "right" in the face of overwhelming evidece to the contrary) the DMCA is beig used to stop 3rd parties from making cheap toner replacement carts. Whining that the DMCA has nothing to do with toner (and it shouldn't, I agree 100%, that's why that law blows ass) till you are red in the face doesn't change the fact that it's being used to stop cometition in the toner market.
If you live somewhere that accepts 3rd party cartages / refils, then inkjet is probably the way to go... cheap printer, cheap source of toner.
If you live in a backwards nation like the US (not-so-proudly a resident as of late) where the DMCA makes you pay out the ass for toner, then you are in a bind... pony up for a color laser, which, if you can expense out over time, or know you will be printing a lot for the next 4 years, will more than pay for itself, or.... Hmm, I dunno if there is a low up-front cost solution for long term color printing in a country that doesn't allow 3rd party ink carts / refills.

No, if you wish to solicit by email, you have to put 'ADV:' at the begining of your mail. What's so hard about that?
Then you are in compliance, and you don't get fined, and people who don't like spam can filter you out.
