We have slightly more people in our office - approx. 65. We used GFI for a while - it sucked to administer and use, it just isn't good enough. While not inexpensive, I have been very pleased with the IronPort C series device. Very pleased. Even thought they were purchased by Cisco, they still operate independently. Their support (that I've used twice in 3 years) is also very good.
I manage mine like yours - I manually review the stuff that gets quarantined - maybe 15 a day all of the rest of the "definite" spam gets bounced. We've only had about 3 false positives in 3 years.
If someone pays my business $, and I don't have to spend that $ for 180 days, then I invest that money and make more $ off of the interest. I understand PayPal isn't a bank (oh boy do I realize it), but I really don't think they just sit on the cash that they have without getting interest. The real benefit to PayPal not being a bank is they can do just about anything they want with other people's money and not have the banking regulations apply.
I agree, seeing how hard it is to screw up IE7, the users that insist on using IE instead of Firefox should upgrade to IE7 now.
However, as you say, how long until the bad guys come up with a hack to get around the protections...
It is quite common to have a jury trial in a civil case in the US. Only if both sides agree will there be a "bench trial" meaning that no jury is used. I work for a law firm, and have been directly involoved in multiple civil trials with a jury.
They certainly can act evil. Try getting a subpoena served on Intel. The security guards make Mr. Burns hounds look like puppies.
Basically the firm I work for was representing another company against Intel and had a hell of a time getting any court papers served at Intel's offices in Phoenix AZ. The only good part - our firm talked to Intel about representing them in this very same case, got told "you're not big enough", then we represented the other company and beat Intel up good.
This was a construction dispute, nothing quite as interesting as anti-trust.
I'm seeing lots of comments about this not being a DRM issue. While the original post is just plain goofy, the problem with releasing this book in a digital form that magically "opens" at midnight Friday, is of course that nobody wants to read this long of a book on their computer, nobody wants to spend the money to make it a digital book, and finally somebody would probably break it open before the release date...

IBM part number 31P8950. USB, has both the track point and the touchpad (you can turn off either one). They're around $100. Our firm has two people that use them and wouldn't want anything else.
And don't forget - the refund that "more than made up for it" was YOUR MONEY! Even if you realize this I wish people wouldn't even talk about a refund like it was found money.
The "Salvation" in Salvation Army refers to "Christian Salvation" that, and this from their website:
The Salvation Army is an integral part of the Christian Church, although distinctive in government and practice. The Army's doctrine follows the mainstream of Christian belief and its articles of faith emphasise God's saving purposes. Its objects are 'the advancement of the Christian religion... of education, the relief of poverty, and other charitable objects beneficial to society or the community of mankind as a whole.'
Our office (about 45 email users) uses GFI and yes I had to tune it a little at first, but it works pretty well now. Best part is that with an Exchange server we can configure it to dump the spam to a subfolder of people's inbox. That way the "false positive problem is reduced - users can check for themselves.
Using this in conjucntion with some RBL capabilities of our firewall, I have determined of all inbound mail only 7% is not spam. That just sucks.
I love sharing good info... Mine acts flakey too. With the Bluetooth DUN turned on, if my 650 turns off, when I press the power button to turn it back on it takes 15 or so seconds before it actually comes on. So I just turn the DUN off unless I need it. Pretty cool though, not having to use a cable (that I always would forget to take with me).
I've already used my 650 to provide Dial Up Networking access to my PowerBook. checkout Treocentral.com and find the DUN hack. Works for me, and Sprint has said that eventually they'll fix the DUN with Bluetooth anyway.
12 years ago I had a CS professor who had been at HP for quite a few years. He typically referred to an "unknown" programmer as she. It's definitely not uncommon or new.
On my Powerbook G4 it certainly takes a little time to start. For that matter all of the "Apple" software takes a while to start, just like every other piece of software I have installed.
Just because Apple makes the hardware and the software doesn't mean they can transcend the laws of physics.
I love my Mac, but it's not perfect. Neither is Windows...
Labor unions are a lot like communism - in theory they're great. In practice they suck. If technology workers, sysadmins, programmers, security analysts, dba's etc. become "unionized", the union - not you - decides how much you should be paid and what you should be paid for. It turns everything in to an us vs. them struggle. Additionally, and my least favorite thing about unions, it completely makes employees (or "labor") a commodity. That means that you are absolutely no better than anybody else, no matter how good you are at your job. No thanks.
It's a bar - they serve alcohol, bars aren't allowed to have nudity. The police are going to inform the liquor commision that "naughty" things are going on. The bar could lose it's license... Moral of the story - if you don't like a bar in Lincoln, take nude pictures of someone there (or Photoshop them in to the picture) and post on the internet.
I live in Lincoln - the police here get pretty bent out of shape about stuff like this.
Ah yes... Too violent! Think of the children. But they'll pay thousands of dollars for uniforms and facilities and coaches for football. It's not violent at all. And think of how many people can participate! (less than.25% in my high school)
Don't get me wrong - I like football, and I think high schools should have football teams but please... LAN games too violent? Real life can certainly be too violent.
After seeing a Federal District Court (8th Circuit in Omaha Nebraska) boot up a machine running Win98, fire up the Novell networking, then start Goupwise, then launch WordPerfect then start Excel, then use PowerPoint and finally Netscape, I was thouroughly mystified. It appears that they are acquiring whatever software they think they need in order to be compatable with the rest of the world...
I'm afraid a mandate of what software they should use will just bog down the government more than it already is. I certainly wouldn't want to be the one to re-train all those people.
I'd bet though, if anyone does ask, the owner of petswearhouse will grin and say "This is great for business. Our sales are way up! Great advertising!" Whether or not any of this would be true or not is anybody's guess.
Various people at the airlines were notified about this. One answer - the people saying that this is a problem are trying to make a buck because they work for security companies. The right people are being notified, they're just ignoring the problem.
If I turn on my laptop in an airport, and I happen to have an 802.11b card that picks up a signal and then receives an IP address from a DHCP server I'm sure as hell not at fault. Unless somebody wants to make turning on a computer in an airport a crime.
It's called security, apparently the airlines think the National Guard troops carrying the M16's will stop this threat too.
"The industry says it needs to use the lock-box approach to music to prevent consumers, armed with CD-authoring software and hardware and a quick Internet connection, from downloading and burning the recording industry out of existence."
Horseshit. What they really need is to release decent music at an affordable price.
More importantly however, I use a DVD player with its digital output to listen to almost all of my CD's on my stereo. And CD that won't work in my DVD player because of "copy-protection" won't be purchased by me, and if I do purchase one unknowingly it will be returned...
Hmm, returns cost the CD manufacturer directly, whereas pirating is indirect... a way to hurt 'em? Not sure.

Bluetooth. It's pretty fast too. Around 150K

I asked the same question in junior high science...Actually I asked "What happens if you break a law of physics?" His answer - you become very famous.

Nope. You can't map more than the 26 letters. And B: is pretty rare these days...
Double letters? Where did you come up with that?
