  1. Lotus Domino on Infrastructure for One Million Email Accounts? · · Score: 1

    Lotus Domino is a viable alternative to Exchange, although it's probably not very popular with the /. crowd.

    Whatever you do, I think the most imporant part is to think through the migration process. It's good you've already done it before, but 1 million people could mean a lot of angry phone calls.

    Good Luck.

  2. Re:What does Google gain from this? on Google Web Accelerator · · Score: 1

    sounds like spyware in disguise.

  3. In other news.... on India Launches World's First Stereo Imaging Satellite · · Score: 0, Troll

    The satellite will be permanently pointed at Pakistan.

  4. They make a killing on licensing too on WSJ's Online Subscriptions Outperform Print · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I worked for a small company, where we were profiled in WSJ. This was quite a big deal since our company consisted only of 5 employees at the time. We wanted to put the article on our website. WSJ informed us, licensing the article was about $500/mo. Seems kind of high since the article was already written, and we weren't reselling the article.

    Nevertheless, we paid it for several months.

  5. Grammar Nazi on Professor Finds Fault with MS Grammar Checker · · Score: 0

    Apparently he's escaped Slashdot.

  6. Re:Court documents on Was the Lokitorrent Suit a Hoax? · · Score: 1

    Thanks for posting the documents.

    IANAL, but you'd figure for the donations he collected, he could have got a lawyer to file at least one motion in his defense. As far as I can tell, there wasn't a single motion filed by the defendant.

  7. Re:Calculus *has* changed in the past 200 years on How Would You Select a Textbook? · · Score: 1

    I was referring to classic first and second year calculus courses, not modern analysis. I did not learn most of the examples you give until I took my first DE and analysis courses.

    I hear what you're saying regarding changes in focus (my university just split up it's 1st year calc courses into seperate Engineering, Life Sciences, and Commerce courses). With this said, the changes in focus do not merit a new edition produced every year.

  8. Re:As a current student on How Would You Select a Textbook? · · Score: 1

    First and second year calc hasn't changed in 6 years!

    Truth be told, first and second year calculus hasn't changed much nearly 200 years.

  9. Re:Why did they keep logs to begin with? on LokiTorrent Shut Down · · Score: 1

    And I think this is the saddest part to come out of this story. Regardless of the 'legal-status' of what they (Loki) were doing, someone needs to take on the MPAA to keep their tactics in check.

    Now who's going to believe it when someone asks for help to do this?

  10. Re:FIFA 2005 on China Bans 50 Games · · Score: 1

    Either that, or the Chinese soccer team sucked.

  11. Re:Trademark Issue on The Dot Com Super Bowl · · Score: 1

    My friend live on Olympic St. in Vancouver...wonder if they'll force the city to change the street's name.

  12. Re:where is the PDF? on In the Year 2020 · · Score: 1
  13. Re:Graduate funding in Canada on Advice for Returning to School After Long Break? · · Score: 1

    If I remember right NSERC/CIHR scholarships are only available to Canadian citizens, and he would likely not be eligible for it.

  14. Re:U.S. versus Canada on Advice for Returning to School After Long Break? · · Score: 1

    oops...correct!

    Thx.

  15. Re:U.S. versus Canada on Advice for Returning to School After Long Break? · · Score: 1

    Good post. I'd mod you up if I could.

    Another point to make is that *most* US universities recognize that Canadian Master degrees are different than US ones, but when applying you should definitely include examples of the research you've done to demonstrate that you have a masters only because failed your PhD.

  16. Re:movie commercial database on MPAA to Sue BitTorrent Tracker Servers · · Score: 1

    My guess is that it would be specific to the theatre, and not the movie.

    As someone points out below, some cinemas don't have ads, while some others do.

  17. Re:It's about time on EA Obtains Exclusive NFL Licensing Rights · · Score: 1

    I know you're joking, but American/Canadian Football was in at least part created by Canadians at McGill:

  18. Re:Where? on Gmail Adds POP3 To Email Accounts · · Score: 1

    Me either...I don't think we're missing anything.

    Division by zero...thank you come again.

  20. Re:No handed navigation? on Mouse May be Replaced by "Nouse" · · Score: 1

    I want to know what's on your desk then!

  21. Re:Voting public's greatest fear is the truth on Hackers, Public Differ Greatly On E-voting · · Score: 1

    No, it's more a fear of technology in general.

    People are afraid Grandma won't be able to vote.

  22. Re:Good precedent on Canadian High Court Says ISPs Don't Owe Royalties · · Score: 1

    Although it may not entirely applicable to this case, your assertion that:

    It is pretty hard to overrule the SUPREME COURT.

    is incorrect. In certain circumstances Legislation (Federal or Provincal) can make use of the "notwithstanding clause" located in section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. IANAL, so I'm not sure how applicable it is in this case, but I thought I'd point out that the notwithstanding clause can and has been used before in legislation that is thought to be in violation of the charter.

  23. Re:This sounds like more hassle than it's worth. on (CD) Pirates Take to the Ocean · · Score: 1

    think spatial. the ship may be registered to a state which permits this type of activity, but may be around the world from where they need to distribute the CDs. Why would you produce the CDs in the Country X in the Caribbean, then ship to Country Y in Southeast Asia. Make sense to hike out into international waters in close proximity to where you're going to sell them. You'd assume would save time and money.

  24. Re:Now I just got to figure out on Smart Cards Vulnerable to Photo-Flash Attacks? · · Score: 1

    these are real smart cards actually. It'd be hard to network a bunch of laundry machines in several locations across a large campus together.

  25. Now I just got to figure out on Smart Cards Vulnerable to Photo-Flash Attacks? · · Score: 1

    Now I just got to figure out how to add money to my laundry card. That thing has eaten more money than I've used on the machines...
