Ok,
Let's take DCOM, PHP, ASP, XML, SQL, ActiveX, DirectX, Flash, LISP, Perl give them a whirl add a chicken for lustre some hot-peppers for muster and then dethrone eXchange, explain to people that theier only choice is Linux and make the punishment for useing windows the loss of your hands.
Realistcily people like Outlook, they like exchange and they do not like change the public containts too many windows peons for that kind of change to happen.
Oddly enough exchange is a stripped down version of X.400 with X.500 extensions thrown in for good measure (Look ma no UNIX!). Microsoft has always taken current technology, re-branded it given it a nice gui (if you like puke grey!) and re-sold it to the would be managers/ceo's/cio's and marketing people. Another perfect example of the drop re-tool and replace (BSD's 4.2 TCP stack is in both windows 2000 and WinXP). Please correct me if I am wrong.
Group Ware from a coroporate stand point should always cost money, most of the managers I know maintain the belief that a tool is as good as it's price. Or more concisely "you pay for what you get", and then you pay for what you didn't get too. Realistcly people like windows it keeps them in the comfortable world of I neither know nor care obout my antiquated kernel with crappy drivers and an HAL that reeks of 5 years ago.
P.S. HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer).
Then again I should be one to talk, I am a OS zelot and I hope to help with this ever so monumental task of replaceing all of DCOM. But what of security? Will it be Kmail? Or Pine? Which one will get the ever so useful access to theis new form of OPENDCOM? And how long before the same problems hit all those nice mandrake/Suse/redhat installations?
I hope it works, and I hope people learn to trust open soucre, but I have been let down by OS my self a few times.

Ok, Well after reading the first hundred or so posts I've realized that most of you are strokeing your ego's and not awnsering the man's question!
Now, Simply put here are some sites that contain a lot of information to digest. Tom's Hardware AnandTech
Now here is a list of components to pick, and please do your self a favour and do some resarch before hand, get some do's and dont's and faq's stuck in your skull before spending any hard earned dough.
BTW I build systems on the side for the not so techniclly apt (as I'm sure many/. readers do for friends and family!).
Heres your shopping list
1. CASE w/PS (at least 350W ATX and a size you could "Grow" into)
2. Mother Board (Think long and hard about this one as it is a more important choice than even your CPU or RAM). Personal recomendations include ECS, MSI, Asus, and if you like spending money Tyan. Not to mention Gigabyte, Abit and shuttle, however if you visit the both tom's and anands they will have all the links for you with recent information and benchmarks.
3. CPU (what ever you want to spend on this will directly determine the capabilities of your system hence money=power!)
4. Ram (your options are limited by the capablilties of your motherboard.).
5. Video (again do you play video games or do you simply fart around in office all day and surf the net?). And if you play video games how much power do you need (can you afford to spend upwards of $400 on a card?).
6. Sound (Are you a musicaian, do you want home-theatre quality or is the AC'97 on the motherboard good enough for you?).
7. Optical devices (DVD, CD-ROM, CDRW, DVDRW?) again functionality direclty determined by price. DVDRW drives cost roughly $300 - $500 and the media is $4 to $8 per (and when you screw up they make expensive coasters). On the other hand I pay about 12 cents us per blank CD-R. (I purchase bulk!).
8. Storage (again price determins functionality). all drives now start at around 40GB and cost about $70 to $150.
9. Printing/Scaning (do you need a multifunction device to deal with the "real" paper world?).
10. Lastly but definitly most important! Connectivity! Will you get DSL? Do you already have a DOCSIS compliant cable provider in your area? or are you stuck with a measly little 56K modem? (I'm sorry I'm biased by my Canauk 3.5MB/s DSL.) The choice is simple if you get a modem stick with USRobitics or GVC. (both have lifetime warrenties). If you get a NIC (Network Interface Card), then you may consider weather or not you'll use the added features of a $50 3Com or weather or not a $10 Realtek will do?
Now you have a lot of foot work to do, quotes are a bitch! I only say that haveing worked in a computer store sales environment. They take time effort and forethought. You will get out of it what you put into it. If you simply think "Ok I'll get one of those dell's or compaq's and add what I need as I go!" well then you will be stuck with whatever decisions you make. Keep in mind computer parts depreceate faster than Ford Pinto's! So if you maintain a steady investment then you will have great preformance at price point that would make any scrouge druel. Stay away from used hardware unles it has a warrenty! Refurbished monitors are a huge saveings and have a one year warrenty. Realisticly you should simply say "This is my budget and this is what I need!" If you know what your doing (after all that reading!) then you'll get a killer deal. If you like you can even email me and I'll send you a quote.
A note to the rest of you/.'ers my first computoy was a crappy zenith vic clone that turned up the daisy's to a cup of tea across the keyboard. Peek and Poke are KEWL! The second system I used was a MICOM (Text ONLY! muahahah in beautiful PUKE ORANGE!), and the first color system I ever touched was a comodore 128 (with a whopping 128K). The first system I purchased (I will never buy a name brand again!) was a crappy AST (no they don't exist anymore!) and the first system I built was a 386SX, followed by a K6 266 and then an Abit BP-6 (man $70/processor and there are 2). Now I run a dual Athalon setup (Yes I render stuff and cant work without multitasking). My older computing geek friends tell me of the 'days of yore' when your 'codeing tools' consisted of a hole punch and bristol board cut to the right size, analog computers, and the first IBM/Amdhal S360's that in thier old age required physical battery to operate properly.
Tards, isin't a word and therefore doesen't exist. I pity those whom are quick to flame and never understand. Ours is an enlightend relality and unfourtuanetly you will never be a part of it. Pity, ignorance is bliss and I guess you'll never understand enough to move on and evolve like the rest of us have.

Learning IPv6?
·
· Score: 3, Informative
Hey,
IPv6 has a very diffrent way of nameing things. First off you have the folling addresses on each card;
v6 (128bit in hex)
Multicast (128bit in hex w/reserved header)
Group Multicast (128bit in hes w/reserved header)
Network Multicast (128bit in hes w/reserved header)
Network (same as above)
Broadcast (same as above)
and last but not least all those v4 addresses too. so yes the/10 is a leagacy compliance feature.
For those in the "Know" BSD has had V6 compliance for quite some time now. OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD all support it but OpenBSD will install v6 by default due to it's added security mesaures.
By the way, "IT's all infrastructre?!" A statement that those of us whom actually provide said "Infrastructure" make it seem simple much like magic, it's seamleass and it works well than it's abvoiusly a testament to those that put "it" together.
IPv6 will often be refferd to as IPng in earlier documents.
For those of you whom think "Well I should just plug in to v6 and I'm there." I have only one though; Ignorance is bliss and there are a lot of blissful people out there.

Cable Chaos
·
· Score: 2, Informative
Cable Ties, Bieng a Network admin I understand that anyone wishing to study entropy only need look at an unbound computer/electronics mess.
Cable Ties exist for the sole purpose of binding anything to anything.
Now if you are a student and cannot affort a decent rack (wich always goes well with cable ties.) You can either build your own rack by following these Instructions or you can get one used pretty cheap.
Now I have a lot of electriacal crap. AV Studio and 4 systems on a network. not Includeing my home theatre, PS2/PS1/Sega/Snes.../VCR Speakers, and so on. Cableing should alswas be taught enough that you can move your items around a bit (like 1 foot) but not so loose as to knot itself.
Cables are a good example of entropy! They go from orginized to complete chaos in less than one instant.
Check out AMP here., they make connectors of all sorts, probably even make the same part.
1.Disconnect the Controller ie: remove it from the drive case and unplug the header, (the armature connection.
2.Ground yourself (get rid of any static on your hands) or wear a geek strap.
3.Un soulder the eide connector (that is if it's the seperate type) and then get a new one. They cost about 2$us ea.
4. Re-soulder the new connector
Depending on the style of connector (make, type of drive) It may be a seperate EIDE connector, however if you can determine the part number and make you can probably purchase one from either Digi-Key or Newark Electronics, they are usually made by either AMP (div. of Tyco electronics) or one of two other connector manufacterers. although I'm pretty sure AMP makes them too. But for your sake you should contact the drive manufaterer and ask them directly as they may actually give you the part number of the connector you need and were to buy it.
Hopefully you didn't fry anything by attempting to plug it back in.
And if you did follow the first post. and replace controllers but be sure to get the exact model you already have, then you pull a switch a roo with the controllers and image your old data and RMA the drive.
Ok, so it's a big reaction enough if you can get like a coke can of the stuff, I say find a way to generate tachyons and then use those to "push" your ship beyond light speed. Remember, basic physics, a gamma-ray will only leave it's point at c not c. Tachyons (if we could make and find them ) although therotical would produce engines capable of F.T.L. travel.
