1. Running a mail server without turning it into an open relay doesn't require that one read some silly book. It simply requires that one not be an idiot. For example, in qmail, all that's needed is to ensure that the rcpthosts file exists (and is populated with your domains).
2. How do you plan to enforce this? Mandatory licensing for sysadmins? No thanks.
3. "Administrates"? "out where"? "hopefully it helps"?
Sysadmins -- who know the difference between egrep, pgrep, and zgrep, but not your and you're.
What an incredibly stupid thing to say! On what data are you basing your broad conclusion about system administrators? Was there some study establishing a negative correlation between technical aptitude and writing skills published while I was sleeping?
You might as well say that all blacks can't use "your" and "you're" properly, or that all midgets named Tony have the same deficiency. It's ludicrous and offensive on its face.
This is my observation from work here. All new hires in the IT department MUST have some programming skills in C, Java, python and PHP. We intentionally do not hire anyone that has been a "programmer" or "developer" except those that have experience in OSS as a developer. But they also must show a proficiency at IT skills and prefer that they have some EE background.
Are you hiring?
Your company wouldn't be in the Detroit, MI area by any chance, would it?
But in reality you are ignoring the effects of TCP queueing and retransmissions [...] real-time applications is where the difference between IPSec and TCP-based VPN connections really become obvious.
WTF? Didn't I just get through saying that OpenVPN can (and in fact, by default, does) use UDP as the underlying transport layer? Where's the TCP-over-TCP there?
Furthermore, why are you assuming that the upper layer (carrying the voice data) uses TCP?
All "VoIP" means is that somehow, at some point, voice data is transported using IP. There's no requirement that TCP be used even once, let alone twice.
It would have been much better had the left in the ability to stream over the internet so I could listen to my collection at work.
It would be straightforward to set up an OpenVPN tunnel between your home and your work (unless you have exceedingly Nazi-esqe network administrators). Then, as far as iTunes is concerned, you're coming from a local address, thereby circumventing the noxious DRM.
You know that saying "you were cool if you had an iPod" is the same statement as "you aren't cool if you don't have an iPod." So what your saying is that nothing has changed.
If your going too take you're time too knock his logic, you might want to make sure that you're "yores" and "you'res" are correct. Otherwise, your to much of a hypocrite too post that.
In Grandville, MI there's one (on 44th St. between I-196 and Canal Ave. if anyone cares) called GoAheadIDontMind, presumably coming from one of the apartment complexes next to the road.
"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them." - Ayn Rand
Whatever. The government has the power to force me to pay tax, the power to force me to register and insure any vehicles I drive on public roads, the power to force me not to discriminate against minorities when I'm hiring, and a million other such powers.
All of these are irrespective of whether I'm innocent or guilty of committing any crime (and of whether I actually agree with the laws).
Ambush marketing - a term often hissed in industry circles - occurs when one brand pays to become an official sponsor of an event (most often athletic) and another competing brand attempts to cleverly connect itself with the event, without paying the sponsorship fee and, more frustratingly, without breaking any laws.
Listening to these marketroids whining about "ambush marketing" is like listening to one rotten, crooked thief complaining that another rotten, crooked thief knocked off a bank first, thus depriving the first robber of his hard-earned, well-deserved chance to steal everyone's money.
Bunch o' evil bastards, the whole lot of them. Then they have the audacity to claim that "such tactics 'lack decency and creativity'", as if plastering their own ads everywhere improves the quality of public life.
I'm also disgusted by the mention of the fact that "ambush marketing cases are rarely actionable". I just love that word, "actionable", as a euphemism for "we're going to sue the pants off you". It's like that annoying kid you grew up with who always went crying to Mommy whenever anyone displeased him.
Tools can be used for bad or for good. RFID is a tool. It can be used for bad (privacy invasion) or good: EZ-pass, speedpass, streamlining warehouse/retail operation, and applications we haven't even thought of yet...
Am I the only one who is sick and tired of automatic rabid bitching anytime this technology is brought up?

[GIS data] should be free for non-commercial use
Why specify non-commercial? What would be wrong with letting businesses use the data as they see fit?
I hate megacorps as much as the next guy, but I'm also not a fan of arbitrary restrictions on the use of information.

I assume this experience has lead you to evaluate the various options for your IMAP server software. What do you use?
I'm not the OP, but I used Courier for years, and then I switched to BINC ("BINC is not Courier").
There's also the old, hairy UW-IMAP package.
even more energy conservative chips
This is Slashdot. Prepare to be modded down for using the term "conservative" in a positive light, i.e. without attaching "idiot" and/or "redneck".
In the specific case of needing to run windows apps on Linux, we have now several options:
API emulation: Wine
PC emulation: Qemu (free)/VMWare (expensive)
VNC: (and just move the display)
Also, rdesktop, a client for RFB (remote framebuffer) servers such as Windows Terminal Services.

All "VoIP" means is that somehow, at some point, voice data is transported using IP. There's no requirement that TCP be used even once, let alone twice.
VoIP is based on UDP, and does not easily vork over TCP. So SSL is not really an option.
False. For example, OpenVPN is SSL-based and can tunnel anything you like (TCP, UDP, or even Ethernet) over TCP or UDP channels.

It's high time that all you Democrats and Republicans out there swallow the blue pill and see things as they are, not how you want them to be.
Wrong pill.
Red pill -> learn the truth
Blue pill -> continue living in the dark

What the hell is "*IX"?
If you're trying to include both "UNIX" and "Linux", then you're a moron.
running windows 98 or another efficient OS (no W2K and XP are NOT efficient in any way)
What are you smoking? Windows OSes are crap, but among them, Win2K is the most efficient and stable incarnation ever, period.
Anything in the Win95/98/ME family is a pile of flaky, broken, bug-ridden, insecure garbage.
XP is a downgrade in that it is a massive memory hog, full of stupid broken wizards, and ugly as hell.
2K is the *only* release of Windows that anybody should be running (if they must run Windows at all).
