I thought I was getting some excellent experience, and I was, but I could have achieved the same result if I'd spent my extra income on some targetted certification. The pay cut just wears at you.

I have started going back to IE, to my surprise because firefox regularly locks up and has to be restarted, and also starts eating the pagefile like it's going out of style.
I assumed it was just my machine, but then saw the same behavior on two other machines.
It seems to me that we are getting close to the inflection point for Outlook, where it's benefits are too adversely affected by it's security record. Following bugtraq, we are now at the point where even plaintext messages can trigger javascript. Absurd.
Every other country in the world likes to think they are superior to the U.S. Let them. You will never win the argument. Always remember - eventually you get to go home. They are always stuck with what they have.
... but Sendmail author Eric Allman is a homosexual. Not that it matters, but it does explain the sheer volume of "backdoor exploits" found over the years!
You buy proprietary software because you expect it to be supported. Go ask there. Or ask yourself why you are not. Or why you think you can run a product that you are not trained to administer.
At their own game? Who knows? Looks like the developers of Apache are trying to faithfully recreate each IIS security hole in their Windows release of Apache. Maybe it's a trend. Maybe it's emulation.
So many arguments, so little grasp

This thread has so many arguments against attachments, but I don't understand why.
email wasn't designed for files So why was UUENCODE and UUDECODE, then later MIME created? It wasn't invented by Microsoft for use in Outlook!
It's too much disk usage, it'll bring your mail server down So size your mail server according to your projected users needs. You did do a needs analysis before submitting your budget, didn't you?
It hurts people on dial up Why would you treat every user the same? Remember the needs analysis you did?
Too much bandwidth usage! if you can't afford it, put limits
use ftp instead do you really think the sales managers and Project managers want to get You to set up an account for every person they deal with who needs to send them documents? No matter when they need them?
ftp is secure over ssh so you're going to produce documentation for each user on how to use this new software they have to download? "I need to send you a 2Mb file!" "No can do, let me contact our sysadmin on monday so he can set up an account and tell you what software to download to accomplish this". Please.
no compromise can be reached! plenty of folks here set 650Mb attachment limits. Know how they can do that? They know their systems, and did capacity planning, they've come up with limits they can handle that work for the users. Often they have different limits for different users
email attachments are here to stay, they replace physical media, and get us closer to the paperless office. The inventors of MIME didn't consider it a gross abuse of the medium, why should you?
Take a class on system sizing. You'll find you have no problems keeping the system up and running. At around $1/Gb, isn't this discussion somewhat pointless?
Tell me about it. I got pulled over and detained 'cos of my/. bumper sticker. They offered me my 1 phone call, but I decided to trade it for a posting.
Just sign up for the openbsd-misc mailing list and fire away! The friendly folks there are all conversant with Linux terminology, so just ask for IPMasq and they'll know what you're talking about. HTML email is preferred, so it looks better in the archives, and if you can do a diagram in flash you'll get bonus points.

That's strange - it seems to work just fine as that! I don't know of any sysadmin who's setup can be brought down by a large email attachment - maybe it's the sysadmin who needs the training? Of course ftp/ssh and http/ssl are secure - but are you really advocating setting up a username and password for everyone who ever needs to send you a file? Or that they need to install additional client software to do it? Here's the tech support results: email - 0, ftp/ssh 1.disk is cheap, bandwidth is a utility
email is the new UPS or Fedex

I work in construction. Email is essential to transfer in a way the users already know how to use files, drawings, and other documents. Disk is cheap. Bandwidth is a utility cost. ftp has lost the widespread adoption battle because it's got some security issues, and frankly it's a technology that just gets in the way. The function of IT is to provide a service that people need. If you want to impose limits on what users can do, expect to be replaced sometime by a sysadmin that doesn't have those urges.
According to joelonsoftware, this statement "OpenZaurus is now a debian based embedded distribution built from source, from the ground up." is a fundamental flaw. The project started out as a rewrite/tweak of Sharps work, and then "progressed" to a complete re-write. Sigh. I wonder why they made this decision?
Rounds of layoffs, stifling of any creativity. It seems like there's an overwhelming drive towards mediocrity, and an actual fear of high performers, because they would be hard to replace. Oh yeah, and Open Source, which was our darling for a few years, saving us big time, and performing hard is now being replaced with W2K. It's better to run mainstream, so you can hire some MCSE balloon sculptor, than it is to do "great things". Bah.
Right out the box it's got a camera, wireless networking and an SDK. Probably wouldn't last 30 seconds against Rocky Botboa, but sure would make a cool roaming security camera in a paved area. And all prices in Euro!

Better not - her brother or dad might kill her as an "Honor killing" for talking to an infidel.
That's all I need to know about your post right there.

We have JDE, and as confirmed by the thread you linked to, it is *not* encrypted.
Every other country in the world likes to think they are superior to the U.S. Let them. You will never win the argument. Always remember - eventually you get to go home. They are always stuck with what they have.
*rimshot* (or, uh perhaps not, in this case)

Like your average slash reader is going to know what a clit is .... I think not.
When you buy proprietary, you do so for "support" reasons. Use them.

Step 1: plug into the network
Step 2: login using AD credentials
Step 3: There's no step 3! There's no step 3!

You're plooking too hard!
I'm inclined to agree with you. But that's my point - you can't just say "hey - Islam is fine" but exclude all the others.
