    And here in Canada they charge you $0.10 CDN for every e-mail that you send. Ever try sending e-mail on a forkin' cell phone? Who thought of this stupidity anyway?

    Except the ISPs that the wireless access points pool into using real genuine wire. After all, you want wider access than to your roommates mostly stolen MP3 music collection.

    Why is the Linux kernel such a mess, crick here.

    I second the vote for more FreeBSD books, possibly one to also cover OpenBSD as well.

    Yeah, you can take a paper book to the crapper with you.


    My only complaint about paper books is that they are forkin' expensive here in Canada - $80 CDN for a $45 US book - fork!

    Tell that to IBM and all the other big name companies that have sunk so much money into Linux solutions.

    What are you babbling about? VSS creates 26 directories from "a" to "z" and then creates hundreds and thousands of files in them. Yeah, totally brain-dead implementation IMO.

    In order to do that, Linux needs productivity software. Star Office and Open Office do not cut it right now.

    The last time a NY Times story came up, I put in a bogus name and e-mail address, however the e-mail address was aliased to an existing one. Well, guess what? Earlier today I received spam to this bogus e-mail address using the bogus name. Rancid wankers.

    How about the royal pain (in the wazoo) of having to re-learn a significant amount of the knowledge that you gained every time MS excretes a new OS or Office product?

    > default installation of Windows 2000 is too lax as far as security goes

    How is this for lax default security: install Windows 2000 Server, install Win2K SP2, install Win2k security rollup 1. Check the security permissions on C:\Inetpub. Guess what? 'Everyone' has full control from there and down the directory tree. Ok, so you are smart and get the IIS lockdown tool. Run it. Check permissions once again, ah great, two new user groups created that deny write access but Everyone still has full control. ARGH!!!
