I hear the Security weenies here at $LARGE_US_BANK and the email weenies going back and forth about making sure all outbound mail is TLS (where's the Ha Ha guy when you need him), or if files are larger than a certain size, automatically posting a hyperlink, to an HTTPS website with a username/combo, which are emailed to the recipient.
Blah blah blah.
Email works because, well, it works. As someone else said here, its an obvious psychological model.
Embrace it. Stop doing stupid size and.EXE and.DOC restrictions for those of us stuck in Windowsland. Invest in mailbox storage, or educate users on how to properly archive.
Lets see, high on a rational priority list would be (just off the top of my head here):
1) Convince the Muslim clerics in Nigeria that the polio vaccine is not a Western conspiracy to kill off Muslims. 1a) Fix polio. 2) Stop the hysteria over genetically modified food, so that people can grow 'golden rice', rice modified to produce beta carotene, so that people who live only on rice, at least get some nutrition from it. 3) Provide real birth control options for developing nations. 4) Stop pouring money into China. 5) Get the French out of the Sudan, so that the UN can actually fix the problems there.... 1001) Get them all laptops, so that the power of the Internet can Change Their Lives.
Seriously folks, stop the laptops-for-everyone circlejerk, and fix the real problems.
Dude, rats in cages learn faster than that. Lesson here: DONT BUY AN IPOD.

It's an impressive system, for impressive films.
Thank you, I will decide what's impressive. This is like when vendors tell me that their product is "really cool" or "great".... tell me what it DOES, SHOW ME, then I will decide if its "cool" or of value to me.
That would be convenient, if Apache was an OS. Either you can't tell the difference between the two, or you're laboring under the ignorance that everyone uses Linux.
Dear Editors, You can, you know, edit the submissions. Holy run-on sentences. To wit:
In the more mundane and day to day changes Dell will also be backing Alienware financing of their expensive machines, which is something Alienware couldn't have done before on its own and because Dell will be handling all of Alienwares suppliers the company expects to get more allocation of scarce products such as new graphics cards and ordering an Alienware will no longer be like putting in an order for a car in East Germany.
This is 5th or 6th grade level writing. Even MS Word would have suggestions to fix it.
Seriously. Yes, you could cobble something together with 'tar' (this is afterall Slashdot). You already have EMC gear. Buy more. That's what they DO. Your company does $FOO, EMC does storage. They would buy $FOO from you, since its not what they DO.
No it means FEWER sectors, and therefore less waste. Like enabling Jumbo Frames on GigE. If the cost to create or analyze a sector or frame is constant (since CPU power >>>> HD read rate) then increasing the payload size (frame size or sector size) should provide higher throughput.
I wonder how many times I can get you to reply before you give up. I suppose you just can't resist, working on the fantasy that you'll come up with the ultimate flame, after which I'll bow to your superiority.
1.8 million NetWare servers retired, or 1.8 million Wintel servers purchased? I could "retire" an MQ cluster here at work, if I was willing to replace 6 AIX LPARs with about 18 Windows machines....
So the comment is that its a sparse site, composed of data collected and aggregated from other sites? My God! What is Google thinking! Oh wait, thats what they do, and are pretty successful at it. Think about it - in your Gmail screen, theres a little bare-bones stock price ticker, or just summary of the prices for the day... that's what Google's doing - they want to be your portal.
Except they so far have kept the interface cool, ads to a minimum, and the functionality high.
Insightful, if true. Except the opposite is true, Jaguar (and I believe Lincoln too) bleeds money for Ford, and GM is hemmoraging all over the place. Your logic works for Japanese cars, i.e. s/Toyota/Lexus, because the quality of the low-end brand is good, and the features of the high-end are worth the cake. Who wants to shell out 100,000 USD for a piece of American crap?
Incentivate usage of bycicles instead of cars, change the infrastructure of cities to provide smaller stores in more places rather than huge walmarts 10 miles from home Here's one: Stop assuming that the government is there to protect people from walmart, the same people who continue to shovel money at said walmart. When your grand plan adds 25% to the cost of everything, whats next, forced rent control? When property owners can't afford to maintain the buildings, whats next, subsidized housing? How nice, that everyone will be equally shabby.

We make heavy use of VM at $LARGE_US_BANK. When MS ships it for free, VMWare will go out the door faster than you can say "budget cut".
VMWare, we love you, we'll miss you, but none of us has the power to save you.

Massive blackhole of suckitude to form, news at 11.
...
Lets see, what do these guys do...
make "winmodems"
produce crappy PBX hardware
offer "services"
3) lose money!
Had to be said.

Fristage Postage?
It would be nice if the editors would, you know, edit sometimes. I hear that's what they're for.

Mod me down, and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
Maybe because you insist on being a ubuntu fag^Wfanboy. Choose a real distro.

I knew there was a reason that you were a Freak of mine.
Good job, leaving the troll in the submission.
Why would Intel care if it is a memory hog? Or do you equate CPU with memory? Or are you just a troll?

Here's one: Stop assuming that the government is there to protect people from walmart, the same people who continue to shovel money at said walmart.

Then please kill yourself now. Lead by example.
