    > Sunbird and Lightning never ditched the iCal support (.ics files) in favor of a custom format.
    True. Go to File > Export... and look! It's trying to save as an .ics file!

    > What they did, was to change the internal storage format from .ics to a SQLite...database...for performance reasons...
    Performance wasn't the only reason for the switch. In fact, in some particular situations, the SQLite backend is actually slower than 0.2's .ics backend. However when manipulating files with hundreds or thousands of events, SQLite beats the pants off of .ics. In addition, we wanted to be able to support calendar stores and servers (such as CalDAV and WCAP) that have features which can't necessarily be expressed in .ics (at least without doing a lot of ugly X-MOZ-WHIZBANGFEATURE stuff), and by using SQLite we are free to do that.

    It mostly all the documentation that gets added to Project Builder that takes up the extra space, plus extra things like new versions of jikes to take advantage of 1.41, etc.

    Further down in the proposal is the requirement that the webcaster keep exceedingly detailed reports (including unique listener identification) and that these can be audited at any time.

    Not with Applescript, bash, telnet, and a bunch of other remote technologies :)

    Learn before you post.

    OS X does not come with bash by default.

    OS X does not have a remote login service enabled by default. You have to explicitly turn it on.

    No OS X versions since 10.0.1 enable telnet. When you check the "Allow Remote Login" box, you enable ssh.

    While Applescript could be used for an attach, so could basically any other scripting language. VBScript? Perl? /bin/sh? Yup. So what's the big deal?

    "...a bunch of other remote technologies" being as descriptive as it is, I can only discuss those I can think of. AppleEvents are not allowed from remote machines unless explicitly turned on by the user. This ties back into the AppleScript thing.

    Basically, the above post is FUD.

    Well, don't implicitly trust Netcraft.
    The entry for my employer's site is just plain wrong. The IP address shown is one from over 9 months ago, and the OS fingerprint is from that era as well.

    I've followed the "tell us if we're wrong" mailto links on the site to no avail. Since I'm the friggin' sysadmin I know the info's wrong and there's no load balancer or proxy crap involved.

    Just don't take it as gospel.

    Level3's data center at 100 William St. is definately out.

    They attempted to get a truck down there today, but for obvious reasons, no one wanted a truck o' diesel in the land of collapsing buildings.

    With the FAA's grounding of aircraft, their helicopter fuel delivery contract is pretty useless too.

    Since email, IRC, and IM have become so useful to folks in NYC after the cell and landlines died, we decided to turn off our bandwidth gobbling audio streams until the crisis and need passes.

    No need to clog things up with entertainment when others need the resource.

    "Does the fact that MacOS X or WinNT don't come with sed, awk, grep, bind, apache, sendmail, etc. out of the box make them not operating systems to me?"

    Speaking of no idea what one's talking about, MacOS X (DP4) DOES come with many of those out of the box, and as far as apache and sendmail are concerned, they come defaulted to "off".
