what if in 3 years Dell and HP start selling cheapo boxen running a version of Microsoft's next server OS that is optimized for routing. Like Win 2003 web server edition is for running a web server.
by then dual core CPU's will be a norm. you can ship it with a bunch of ports that you will need and run all the add on cards that Cisco sells to connect to various networks in software. But since Intel is in it, they can build it into the next version of SSE or whatevery they are going to call their x86 extensions on the pentium 6.
not if the $400 longhorn router server integrates into your active directory infrastructure for easier management.
may not work for a small office with 10 people, but it will work for a small company of 200 people with a bunch of servers, or even a 700 person company like mine with around 30 routers spread along the northeast
believe it or not, windows server has been shipping with built in router software since NT4 days. win 2000 added bgp and other high end protocols. not sure about win 2003. i set up a win2000 router once in a lab for some testing.
I bet MS is paying Cisco royalties on every copy of windows server, just like they pay royalties to a bunch of companies from who they license software for windows. the disk management software in win 2000 and later is from Veritas.
if this OS router becomes popular, then you can see cheapo Longhorn Router Server boxes in the near future. Cicsco routers come with some low end hardware compared to WINTEL boxes, but they cost a lot in comparison. In a few years MS and Intel want you to grab a cheapo X86 desktop or server when you need a new router.
We bought a vanilla smtp server for our gateway called Xwall. A few months ago they introduced greylisting.
Basically what it does is temporarily block suspicious emails. If it's a real SMPT server it will resend the message and the second time it will be allowed to go through. Spammers never use RFC compatible SMTP servers and simply send once in bulk and forget about it. This cut down our spam by over 90%.
The only loopholes are for US GOVERNMENT law enforcement agencies to wiretap you. The same thing they have been doing to telephones for decades, they will now be able to do to computers if you are suspected of a crime and a judge agrees.
private organizations cannot do this. foreign agencies also cannot legally do this since the US signs treaties that favor our sovereignty.
There are responses to the blog that suggest it's a problem with the person's PC. I don't have this problem on my laptop, nor on my PC with a samsung LCD. I have never heard of it, and our people at work testing new PC's with cheapo HP LCD didn't complain either.
That's right. If you have a star trek holosuite you will be able to have the ultimate Doom experience, up to having your own heart attack from the realism.
i'm tired of geeks complaining that they aren't getting paid enough. you have people complaining that they can't get 100k a year just because they know how to program. if you like coding, you should be doing it for the sheer joy and not wanting any compensation in return.
fire is a bad thing in tactical scenarios. it can tell the enemy where you are from far away so they can kill you without you knowing it. maybe that is why the french have lost every war for the last 200 years.
I was watching my daily dose of CNBC after work and they talked about Tivo and the huge drop in their stock price today. Basically it's an easily replicated idea that they big boys are into and they mentioned freevo as a free alternative. They only positive thing going for tivo is the satellite tv deals.
He thought everyone was out to get him. In the end he was diagnosed with cancer and refused all treatment because he thought it was a plot against him. He sued several government agencies because he thought they were after him.
Best treatment is drugs which seemed to help somewhat. As far as coping watch what you say around the person.
MS also started Expedia and sold it off when it became popular. Bill Gates said that it originally started as a way to push MSN, and then turned into a travel agency and he had no experience there. He wanted the company to stay in it's core market.
I think that Cisco also doesn't want any competition for it's Linksys brand. They may have pushed MS. Cisco makes a lot of software and this may have been a deal to push some of their software to run on Windows. Vonage runs a system built by Cisco on Sun Microsystems, and this may be a backroom deal for Sun to push their software on the Windows platform.
My school is 100% e text book this year with all books in pdf format. I tried reading it on a pocketpc 2002, but it doesn't look too good. Is there anything short of a super thin laptop that i can use?
It seems every time we open a new office or move one, the Windows boxen are up in no time and our WAN people are always switching out WIC cards, flash memory and upgrading IOS's.
I think that in 5 years MS will rule the router and switch market with the X-Router and the DirectSwitch. GUI based OS for easy setup and one scalable hardware platform.
Does this mean that Mozilla will be integrated into GNOME? If yes, then isn't this doing the same thing as IE into Windows which everyone on/. says is evil?
I was always under the impression that you are supposed to defend violations of your patent or it goes into the public domain? If this is the case then I don't see this as a long court battle.

this is for server side anti-spam products. some people want to stop spam before it gets into the email system
We use Xwall where I work. It's $349 and you get free lifetime support and upgrades. And with the new greylisting feature 99% of all spam is stopped.
if you search Bush 1's speeches, there was talk of an information superhighway around 1990.

if an email gets blocked add the sender to your whitelist and it will get through next time. in the few months we have used, no complaints.
it's true spammers change tactics, so when greylisting stops working we'll try the next new thing.

it will never work. Ticketmaster is owned by Clearchannel that also controls venues, promoters and other people who organize concerts.
they got it all wrong

I'd rather buy the generic stuff and save the money for a better cpu or video card. better price performance ratio i think.

Since P2P customers suck up most of the bandwidth and cost Comcast a lot of money I doubt if it's going to make a difference to management.

I did a quick look up of their finances and they are still losing money. I wonder how long they can keep going like this without being bought out?
