I'll second this opinion. Both nationwide ISPs I've worked for over the past 10 years use Openwave's platform, and I know of a few other biggies (AT&T included) that use it too.
Intermail, which was developed by another company (software.com I think) and Openwave bought them out. Openwave might call it something different these days.
I know it scales to really large capacities, a million+ mailboxes or more I'd bet. And it has capabilities for webmail, pop/smtp SSL, spam filtering etc. And the versions I've seen run on an LDAP back-end. Not sure about IMAP access but considering the webmail has folder manipulation, I wouldnt be suprised if its under the hood somewhere. I think Solaris is the OS.
I'm not in a server admin role so I can't really be more specific but you may want to look into this solution.
Of course the open source advocate in me says use sendmail/qmail but those would probably be more painful to scale to the size you are talking about than going out and buying a platform that can already handle something on that big a scale.
They know how to take my router off the network and reboot the cable modem to clear its MAC limit if they ever needed to bypass any protection I've set up on the router.
Dont put anything past teenagers. They're alot smarter than most people give them credit for. My oldest will have CCNA before he graduates HS.
Yeah, a while back we lost power here. No big deal. Service restored after an hour or two.
Until late at night I found I couldn't watch half of the shows on the movie channels. The V-Chip was blocking it.
I had to search the net for over a half hour and found _one_ post to a board on how to disable the thing, and it involved using both the tv remote and pushing buttons on the front of the tv.
Disabling the chip was NOT covered in the tv manual, in paper form or what I was able to find on the manufacturer's website.
Any clueless internet user would not have found the post, and if I was missing the remote I wouldn't have been able to turn the chip off at all.
I knew about the chip, but I did not know it was enabled by default.
I've got 4 kids, and I call the shots as to what they can and can't watch. I dont need a chip to tell my kids what they can see.

and I wonder just how often its trying to phone home.
is that he posted that from his mobile phone while standing in the line thats already starting to form for the 12:01am showing of SW EpIII on 5/19/2005.
There was once planned support for linux. Austin Meyers (the single author of x-plane) had given the go ahead for a volunteer to write native linux support for x-plane. But he decided the market was too small for him to risk giving up core parts of his source code to complete the port. He pulled support for the port before it got off the ground only after a beta release or two.
Austin is constantly releasing new betas and upgrades (x-plane is really an ever-evolving beta) and anyone who maintains a linux port would be busy updating these constant source code changes.
Perhaps if enough support is shown for a port, he would reconsider. His email address can be found on the www.x-plane.com website.
Another sim with native linux support and open source is Flight Gear. They just released a new version a few weeks ago and has come a long way over the years. I've yet to try the new version but the changelog shows many improvements and features in the latest version.

There's some comparison shots between the real deal vs. what they came up with. I'd say they did a pretty good job.
The art director of the movie wanted something authentic and not jazzed up as in alot of hollywood flicks.
If Katz has contact with this guy, how about a Q&a

How about a Q&A session with this guy? If Katz has a way to email him, and if this whole thing is real, I'm sure there's a bunch of folks out
there who sincerely want to hear about life
in Afganastan under Taliban rule, without all
of the media fluff.
What do ya say slashdot? Katz? (And yes, I submitted this as a story idea too.)
Thawte still assigns free personal certs. Thier 'web of trust' set up where you have to
visit 3 notary publics is a bit of a stretch though. I can't imagine any normal email user
going out of thier way to do this.
The latest pgp freeware for Windows has a pgp plugin for icq. I havent used it, but I'd love it
if all my icq contacts would use it. Too bad
the learning curve for pgp is still steep for
newbies after all these years.

My oldest will have CCNA before he graduates HS.
Yeah but someone still has to rate the shows.
I'd bet that if the PTC couldn't have a voice
with the FCC, they'd somehow be involved with
pressuring the ratings process.

I second that. Xnews all the way, been using it for years, and while it isnt updated all that often, it still gets updated several times a year.
It does yEnc support, and multithreaded transfers via multiple servers if you need it to.
Its search and sort features are excellent too.

He did mention he was a geek, right?
I think if the franchise has a tv series, it would have officially Jumped The Shark!
You know, kinda like when the brady bunch put the blonde kid with glasses into the story line, or when Chrissy left three's company..
name it suprnova!
Here in RI in area code 401, a plumbing service owns
the number, and advertises it on the radio, and even
sings a bit of the jenny song.
I wonder if they had to dish out the $$ for it or
if they simply requested it from thier phone company.
The wiener joint that sells coffee milk, right?
Great, now all the terrorist wackos who watch

around here really is.

Every year, TV38 in Boston has had a long standing tradition of running 3 stooges marathons on NYE.

Too bad my cable company dropped the channel a few weeks back
Err. Yup. I'm a tard. I only saw the movie last night..

This has GOT to be a joke.
