He calls WMA "Microsoft's secure format" hyping that its secure (so as not to scare you from an otherwise notoriously insecure Operating Environment. What he ignores is that WMA = DRM just like AAC.

i.e. US Department of Defense-funded research company. Why does the US pour money into the economy of a country who continues to blatantly flaunt UN resolutions, whose actions have a causal relationship to the level of violence in the Middle East? The US spends more on Israel than the space program.
I should set up a server farm to deal with a nuclear-powered Slashdotting so that people can watch my TV channel elsewhere? People that will never buy products from my advertisers because they're in different countries?
How can a post with "power/voltage/whatever" be given a +5 rating? And one with "The theory (I guess)" in it as well? The parent was simply an argument from ignorance!
This has been discussed endlessly already - new DRM features control documents, how they can be saved, printed, forwarded, stored. Yes, it will be possible for documents to "expire" after a certain time, etc. etc.
Yeah, it means that your 'local ATA/100' is fscked up. I have a RAID-0 array of 2 IDE drives, cost $160 total, and on no point of my array do I test at under 40 MB/sec. With decent disk buffering for stupid apps that re-read files, this $160 solution will crush an Ultra-2 SCSI drive.

Why not a little Java thrown in? Or DRM? or TCPA? Or (insert hot new technology here) ? This seems classic MS-predictive-FUD, where people hold their breath for the Next Release, which is a 1.0 version that sucks. Meanwhile, support people and PHBs have committed to it, so its Too Important To Let Fail. Ultimately, it becomes a time and resource sink the likes of which is only matched by/dev/null, all the while funding MS and driving them to an eventual 3.0 or 4.0 release, which will be Decent, Yet Still Subtly Lacking. All of this won't help the average user find files easier, and will be massively more bloated and complex (read: too many moving parts, read: Service Pack Hell), and probably REQUIRE that Athlon-64 system we've been drooling over.
But format it on the Linux side, Win2K+ has an annoying 'feature' that it won't let you make FAT 32 partitions over 32 GB, "since you should move to NTFS anyway". I had this fight long ago, the only better alternative is HPFS, which you had to hack into NT 4, and was removed in Win2000.
Forget the laptops. Buy books, hire teachers, buy new classroom furniture. Why do we in the US think that throwing money at unmotivated students, overworked or underqualified teachers and buying into the latest technology is going to fix the education problems? Kids don't want to go to school, and parents don't inspire or reward them. Our culture sneers at educations as being "nerdy" or "geeky". There's a reverse-snobbery in being clueless about the world around you. As a side note, maybe this fosters the behaviors that make the rest of the world dislike us. Fix the root causes of the problem, don't just throw money at it.
Sendmail, promiscuous relay for all, Sendmail, providing remote root access since Day 1 on the Internet, Sendmail, of the indecipherable rules file , is on "our side" ? Are they even relevant except for inertia?
Lets talk to DJB, to Wietse Venema, to the MS Exchange developers first, before giving soapbox time to some suit.

Yeah, yeah, -1 Flamebait, fuck you. Doesn't make me wrong.

MRC99 commands have lower precedence to the HCF (Halt, Catch Fire) instruction. At least where I code.
Any post with the word "'puter" is automatically ignored due to lameness.

Use vegetable oil instead. Similar energy/mass ratio, easily transportable, easily produceable, and adds no additional carbon to the air.

Right...
And do they smoke? Drink lots of caffeine?
Eat meat?
Excercise?
How's your family history of this?

I know that the RAW queue works fine on HP JetDirect EX printservers. Works great.
