An AD infrastructure is a requirement for Exchange 2000. It will not work on NT 4 domains. My company is still thinking about the new licensing terms. If management goes with them then we'll probably start the migration very soon.
You should watch CNBC once in a while. Intel is still at 50% margins, or something close to it. Plenty of tech companies, especially those in enterprise market have mafia like profit margins.
Which phone company were you thinking of? Long distance rates are dropping faster than tech stocks. That's why ATT is breaking up. Long distance is dead wood.
My first job I was tech support for Win98. Our domain was NT and exchange for email. The admins were new and installed exchange on the pdc. The system used to crash monthly. A few times it wiped out people's email completely.
Second job I was tech support for NT and some sys admin. We were all on NT. The biggest problem we had was properly formatted printing. Never figured it out. Print server used to crash every few weeks, but it was a ppro with 32MB RAM. Ironically it crashed when people sent huge 30MB ppt presentations to it. Exchange stayed up for months at a time. 2000 is great. Very stable. A compaq desktop that we used as a server because of lack of funds stayed up for six months with one or two reboots.
Present job I'm email admin and I have 3 exchange servers. In two months only time we rebooted was when we upgraded AV software and went to Exchange SP4.
The secret with NT is one server, one app. More than one network service one a server is OK, aka WINS, DNS, DHCP. My one experience with PSS was great. The engineer walked me through the solution step by step. NT is not UNIX, but it's OK for LAN's. Exchange is great. After a few power outages we thought our database was screwed for sure, but isinteg later it worked fine.
I see the ISP starting to limit the number of computers that can share a link. They would be well within their rights.
And what do you mean by braindead politicians? You mean our government shouldn't interfere when somebidy decides they wantsomething for nothing. Somebody has to pay for the routers and people who run them. Or do you volunteer your services for free to run an ISP?
When my brother was 16 or so he used to shoplift with his friends all the time. They would hit the NY department stores. He got a pretty good wardrobe that way until he got arrested. He got to keep the clothes he stole in prior trips and the cost got passed on to the rest of us. Maybe with the cameras in place he would have been caught earlier.
Personally I don't see a difference with cameras or hiring an army of security guards. Cameras are more efficient. Would there really be any difference if Macy's hired an army of security guards and made them study pictures of known shoplifters? Casinos have been doing the same thing with professional gamblers and known cheaters for years and no one is complaining.
While I support patents, Has Brazil signed any treaties or agreements supporting others' patent laws? If not then they can legally make all the drugs they want.
There is Hotmail, Yahoo and a ton of other free email services. Why spend tax payer money for another one? What is it going to offer that the other ones don't? You can have all the email accounts you can track, but you still need a computer to access them.
Glad to hear that Broadview isn't the only one with a viable business model. Looks like in a few years while most here will still be saying how evil the baby bells are for squashing such great companies as Covad, we'll be swimming in stock options.
Check out www.broadviewnet.com. I'm a sys admin there. When we sign up a new customer we resell a Verizon line at first. Then in a few months we switch the customer onto our network. I heard over a year ago they were simply a reseller of Verizon's lines but it wasn't working out. So now we're building out our own network.
I work for a start up telco that isn't making the same mistakes like the current Chapter 11 gang. We had a small conversation about Covad during our Network Admin lunch on thursday. Our VP of IT said it's means more customers for us. Just like Rythms going out of business.
Since the Chineese decided to release Code Red on us is it legal for us to hack their servers over US phone lines?
You can get into trouble for hacking US based servers, but how about chineese and eastern european?
You make some valid points, but if my company survives, which is looking likelier every day, it will prove your theory wrong.
The CLECS just followed the.com business fantasy. Spend millions to expand nationwide before your business model is proven to be profitable. Amazon, Webvan and Kozmo are examples.
Just because you have a larger competitor doesn't make your business model impossible to achieve. Nvidia came out of no where a few years ago. AMD and Via are achieving incredible gains form Intel. Sprint and MCI in the 80's capturing long distance from ATT.
The reason these DSL providers failed is they borrowed and spent a fortune to build out their networks. But the customers didn't show up. Then their revenue streams weren't enough to cover the interest payments on their debt.
If your interest payments are $200 million a year, that's a lot of DSL lines you have to sell. Not to mention you don't get all the revenue from the line. The reseller gets some, Verizon gets some and then finally Covad gets a little. Stupid management is what banrupted them. That's why Covad is issuing stock for debt, to keep the interest payments.
No matter. I work for a start-up telco and were picking up a lot of business from the failures. Ex-Rhythms customers should help us a lot.I bet our sales force is already picking a few up.
The secret is not to take on $5 billion of debt and build a nationwide network before you get a single customer. The company I work for is expanding little by little as we expand our customer base.
Will they replace them with embedded Athlons? Maybe Geforce will get into the embedded game? Not to flame, but maybe this means we'll soon have ATM's with antialiasing, antioscopic filtering and radiosity lighting.
In 8 years in the Army I've been from Korea, to Saudi Arabia, Africa and Europe. Everywhere we went we were told by our chain of command to respect local laws and customs. I think we need to do that with the Interenet too.
Americans think porn is OK, in the Middle East you can get hanged for it.

I hope you're still employed.
Or to me. I'll even sign of on the charity contribution paperwork.

I wonder what would happen in a scene change. Say from indoors to outdoors. I wonder if you'll get a recording with the quality of the Nixon tapes.

This past sunday in the NY Times Week in Review section there was an article that said that scientists think the laws of physics change over time.
Isn't it easier to just have computer centers and let them access private services? Hotmail or yahoo for email. Monster for job searches.
As far as voting on the internet. When pigs fly, which with current tech isn't too far of.
There is Hotmail, Yahoo and a ton of other free email services. Why spend tax payer money for another one? What is it going to offer that the other ones don't? You can have all the email accounts you can track, but you still need a computer to access them.
I was getting tired of Geforce2 quality graphics.
The next step in Thought Crime. Make them think they are talking to a real child and then arrest them.

When I was in the army I drove a humvee drunk one time on an italian city street. Closing one eye doesn't really work.
