SCO happened to that. As a member of United Linux they got taken over by the sue happy SCO and the rest of the vendors involved in that deal ran as fast as they could from it.
Has a box office movie every made any money. Granted at 25 Mil. it wasn't a big money maker but it wasn't a bomb either. It made a profit Hollywood has been cooking the books for years so that all movies either make no money or very little money. They move money around increasing cost to make zero profit on all most all movies.

And you confirmed by looking at the header that it actually came from MSN / Hotmail as I can say I can't remember seeing spam coming from IP address that used MSN or Hotmail or Microsoft in there name as well as yahoo or gmail as well. I get lots of spam to calm @hotmail.com / @yahoo.com / @ebay.com and I am starting to see @gmail.com some. But none actually seems to come from there servers.

No don't kill of the coca bean. You don't want to see my wife if she can't get chocolate at least once a month.
As an admin Wednesday I blocked 65,000 Spam attempts (Rejected). Caught about 4000 Spam and received about 20,000 Real emails from the inet I can tell you that spam hasn't really slowed down if anything it has tripled for me over the last year. I am getting better at keeping it away from my users with greater and greater hardware processing requiring to process the mail.
2) Media durability and long-term accessibility. How long does the media that E-Books are stored on last? Will we be able to access it with whatever passes for an E-Book reader in 50 or 100 years? Books can last for several centuries if they are cared for, and other book-like things.
Most books sold today will be dust in less then 50 Years.
More likely what happen is there web developer got a new PC. They installed there retail copy of Dreamweaver on the new system but forgot to wipe or uninstall the old copy from the machine that was just given to a clerc. That clerc wouldn't know what Dreamweaver was and problem never touched it but when BSA comes a knocking well guess what BSA now charges you retail+ for a copy of Dreamweaver for a clerc who has never touched to program because someone didn't wipe the system back to factore defaults before passing it on.
Old data. The client is now free and included with both Fedora Core 3 and 4. It doesn't work well at all it is slow and crashes way to easilly. If they turn on IMAP support the problem goes away thought. As I use Exchange All day long using IMAP without any problems at all.
You don't work with UPS much do you. There are 2 Type Passive and Active. Passive are allot like those cheap ones you get at Best Buy and Compusa those only invert the power from DC to AC when running on backup power and for the most part pass AC from the Line thought. Active always covert DC to AC and the AC is always coming from the UPS that makes the power really clean witch makes Computers run much better but cost allot more to build. I doubt any datacenter will be using a passive UPS.
and the UN wont charge a tax on.com or.net or whatever. Remember the UN the people who have meet a bribe they don't like. I can see it now the UN takes over the root servers and Iran buys the votes to make all pron go away. Porn bad according to Islam. So what now. Bye Bye porn. China doesn't like anti-china's sites and get member to agree bam bye bye anti-china sites. Don't think they will try see great firewall of china posts. You can say what you want about the US but how many wacko's get there domains pulled. I don't see that changing any time soon.
I have seen the number and so can you they make them public. It is likely not very high as many of us are stuck using windows / IE from work I was for 6 Years straight. I now use linux / firefox at work because I am the linux admin everyone else uses Windows for the most part. Linux as a corp. desktop is still not there yet and so is firefox in most of corp. America.
Yea but ford doesn't give you a car with no locks on the door and a push button starter then charge you rent if you want a door lock and an alarm system.
It depends on the type of satellites you are talking about. There are your high orbit or Geo orbit satellites that take several seconds for data to go thought. Yea they are never going to be used for phone except for extreme use as it is today. Then there are the Mid orbits that aren't always overhead so you need more so there is always one close. They are more expensive to launch as it requires about 70 total to cover the earth. Then there are low orbit satellites they are have very low latency with high bandwidth but require allot of Satellites to make a workable system somewhere around 300 or so from something I read on line. That type of system could easily be used for something like that. Problem is the cost to launch 300+ Satellites is high and takes time something few companies have the ability to do in this world climate.
Sorry but I don't think so. Granted I could use more beefed up servers but I have 3 SMTP server 2 imap/pop servers and 1 ldap server for less then 10,000 users. I would assume based on the web-mail and imap requirement that mail will be stored on the server. So users will keep there emails empty use only a few megs but some users will use every drop of space you give them. My company's servers have limits set to 1 Gig with a few users set larger. Avg users sit just under 500 Megs of mail after 1 year of use that is up from 300 Megs six months ago. 1st thing you need to do is get a handle on how much space is in use now and how much is likely needed in the next 18 Months. At one place I worked 75 Megs was fine for everyone but they had 3 Month auto purge on all users at my current place emails date back years and email is kept for long periods of time. You need to figure out how much you max is now and add some for good measure or you will find a world of hurt after the conversion.
I have a few basic questions what is you budget? I looked around and found lots of choices out there. Some of those choices are very expensive.
How much in house knowledge do you have. Are they going to need to pay for service contracts or hire several people in house to handle these systems?
Outside of email and web-mail what extras are you going to need. Support for outlook calenders? etc.
How many office involved. Bandwidth inside and outside of the office. How much mail with there current system goes inside the site ver. inside the rest of the company ver Internet as a whole. Might mike sense to put several system in remote sites and have a local admins that do more then email compared to one larger site will several people who do only emails.
And no mater what be prepared for the complaints as some people will complain if you mailed them there checks at home and never made them come to work and/or do any work.
Yes and No. Most Winmodem chipsets are supported but require downloading of drivers and you will still find some ltwinmodem that aren't supported by the ltwinmodem driver as the company who made up updated the drivers and hardware and so don't work with the specs for the generic chips. It can be very hit and miss but still allot better then a few years ago.
1st when you go to court you are inncent until proving guilty or admit guilt such as paying the ticket right out. The reason you have to prove you are inncent is as far as the court is concern if the officer followed protocol then he has more creditability then you do. Plan and simple in court it is your word against the Police officers who do you think the Judge will believe? So unless you have prof that you are inncent or the officer comes in and say look back over the issue and I realized I made a mistake you are guilty live with it.
Every see a digital cable box. If you look in the inside most are Cable Modems with MPEG2 Decorders that convert MPEG2 data sent over IP into Analog that your TV understands. IPTV is alive and well inside your digital cable box. Digital Cable Boxes providers could just remove the cable modem part and use 10/100 Ethernet and pull the data from the inet directly and would likely make them cheaper to boot but who would buy them is the problem. I can see a market for something like this. Picture Netflex with a version that will download your DVD choices onto a box. The box has a small HD so only X number of DVD's can be stored on the box but you pick list gets download when you delete the prev one. You rent the box from Netflex every month. You cancel the service you return the box. I can see a model for that to work. But they would have to get an agreement with Hollywood 1st to revenue share so hollywood gets it pice and that could be the expensive part.
On my fedora system I can run apt-get install [package name] and works for me. No try downloading a.deb file and run dpkg -i ???.deb and see if it looks allot like rpm -i. The fact is I haven't had a reason to download an rpm outside of the repo's I use in sometime the same with my debian systems.
Linux is just as stable. I have a mail server that has ran for 6 Months straight the only reason it was rebooted as I screwed up. With good hardware linux can run years without a reboot something the PDP system at my college couldn't do it was rebooted twice during my freshmen year. Hardware is more of a issue then software. Get linux with good hardware with proper support and it will go years. Give it crappy drivers and/or hardware and watch how offten a reboot is required.
I think you own numbers just proved his point. You didn't say if you were a daily or a weekly but based on the text you are a daily.
to print ~50,000 papers a day for 3 months.
So based on your own number you could produce a paper with the same contain without ad's for less then $30.00 a month. Now all things being equally. Things wouldn't be as the amount of people paying for your paper would go down as cost went up but the cost of each paper would be cheaper without the ad's as well. But just for grins lets say that the numbers or readers stay the same and cost stay the same. On a daily paper there would on avg. be 30 papers a month or a cost of about $1.00 a Day. No were near $15.00 Dollors a day the previous post said. Even if you were a weekly that would still only be $7.50 a paper half the amount he said.
I personal don't believe that it would be worth it for most paper to do unless it became easier for them to create 2 version one with a high cost with out ad's and one with ad's but I think the number of people that would choice the more expensive option would be near zero.
However newpapers the ad's are more like google's adsense for the most part. They are largely Text or or limited graphic
If we had to deal with things like ad's on the inet then people would likely stop reading papers even faster. In my opion the worse thing of all the blinking Red / White ad's that you can't ingonore causing me to for the 1st time in over 10 years of using the inet to conside ad blocking software.
Gmail and AOL both have published SPF records witch senderID is based off of. My quess it both providers wont have any problems. Add a few more major regional providers like Comcast.net, road runner to that list and that will make it look more like a sender problem then Hotmail problem. If a few of the bigger boy don't then it could get ugly.
I don't think you are getting it yet. I would suggest you check out http://spf.pobox.com/ it will outline it some more. But think of it this way. The president of the company is at home and wants to send an email out of his earthlink connection to a customer on hotmail.com from his email company email address of abc@domain.com he has to send it to earthlinks smtp server because earthlink as well as many other ISP block outbound port 25. It hits Earthlink then earthlinks trys to send it to hotmail.com but hotmail looks up the spf records for domain.com and earthlinks outbound server isn't listed and gets assumed to be spam and gets blocked. So now we have to work around the issue by
a) having him send from his earthlink address to the custmer.
b) setting up his mail on ports other then 25 to get around earthlink port 25 issue and send thought the company servers.
c) add earthlink to our spf records including every spamer, etc. that ends up using earthlinks outbound servers to our record.
All 3 have issue and require resources to get around not to mentention that is will likely happen at 3:00 AM on Sunday Morning when the person on the other end must have it in his hand yesterday so I am tring to work around the issue then.
It has more to do with support then Microsoft. I am no fan of Mirosoft. I use linux on my desktop and work and at home linux is on more systems then windows. In the end HP will support FreeDOS or basically the hardware that comes with the laptop without having to explain how to play a DVD in linux or anyother software related questions. If they give you the Laptop with FreeDOS all they have to support is FreeDOS. They are nice and give you Linux CD and make sure that it works with there hardware from the getgo but don't except to call HP for help with anything software related.
So I can go over to his house and explain how to deal with windows and install 3 Different Anti-Spyware programs as his new machine takes 10 Mins to boot and 1 Min. everytime you click something to work instead. It sucks to be unpaid labor in your family no matter what. In the end you find out what they need then get them that. I switch most of my family into buy Tier 1 Providers just so they can call them instead of me for problems.
