This is false. There is no requirement for every domain on the internet to adopt SPF before it becomes useful.
Instead each domain owner decides when to flip the switch on for SPF enforcement for their individual domains. Since 14,000 domain already have valid SPF records and many of them have enabled enforcement, SPF is useful for not accepting worthless spoofed emails TODAY. Not in some far off future.

I just recently did this and here is the process I used.
Install yum from here: http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download .ptml
Then install the fedora-release package from here: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedor a/linux/core/1/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/fedora-release-1-3.i38 6.rpm
You probably want to pick a mirror site - the main site is overwhelmed. To find a mirror, check here: http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.h tml
Select a nearby mirror and edit/etc/yum.conf appropriately.
Then run yum upgrade and kick back while it downloads and installs.
This isn't the supported way to perform an upgrade but it worked for my purposes. The correct way to upgrade is to download and burn Fedora CDs and use those to run through the bootable installer.
The pay WiFi coffeee shops I've used (Borders and Starbucks, along with a local one) don't enable WEP or WPA on their access points.
I assume they do this to make it easy to stroll in and sign up online. If WEP was enabled you would have a hell of a time trying to get online long enough to sign up and then you would have to reconnect using WEP.
Note that not enabling WEP doesn't mean you can't control non-paying customers from reaching the internet - they do this with a Web authenticated firewall. Still leaves open the possability that you could cause local (i.e. non-internet trouble) but that is always a possibility for any RF gear anyway.
The other thing is that bringing WEP or WPA into the picture means that people would have to do some configuration, which goes against the business model of actually getting people to pay for WiFi.
To their credit, both T-Mobile and the local place I use do put a warning telling you that WiFi is sniffable and that you should use encrption (like SSL) to protect confidential information.
I've used RedHat 9 and Debian unstable. Both worked fine.
I switched to Gentoo about 2 months ago and haven't looked back. The only things I wasn't able to emerge were the PVR driver and the driver for my USB wireless NIC.
I use two BT8x8 cards and a PVR-250 (Cable, Satelite, and one for recording random stuff from VCR or other analog feed).
The main reason I switched were because I wanted to try Gentoo and also because setting up Bootsplash was dead simple under Gentoo.
I made a pilgrimage to see the Earth Simulator two weeks ago. My aunt lives in Yokohama so it was a good excuse to go.
They were working on one of the nodes so they let me walk down from the observation window into the machine room for a few minutes. It's a huge room with the the compute nodes in the center and storage all along the outside edges.
The rooms sounds like high speed rushing water and there is a low vibration from the giant fans underneath that move air through the ventilation system.
The lighting system is reflective tubes - all of the bulbs are at the end of each tube out of the room so that they don't have guys on ladders changing bulbs above the compute nodes. It makes the room bright enough to see clearly but much dimmer than most data centers I've seen.
On top of each node there are colored lights that flash during communication events.
Basically, when you are in that place you know you are in the presence of one of mankinds greatest achievements - especially after you see the visualizations and what they are creating using all that hardware.
This is no longer true. Outlook 2002 can have and IMAP account and Exchange open at the same time. I used this to convert several people to IMAP from Exchange.
Don't even bother to install an IDS system if you don't intend to do something with the hundreds or thousands of hits that you will inevitably receive every day. Instead spend the money on keeping up to date with vulnerability announcements and patch installations. You'll get much more bang for the buck.
On the other hand if you are willing to spend some time building up a profile of activity on your network, following up on incidents and taking action then by all means go for it. I highly recommend Snort. Been using it for 2 years and love it.

This is absolutely false. The very act of installing Office 2000 on Win95 extends the Win32 API. When you install, you not only get Windows Installer added to the system, you also get updated version of DLL's installed under your WINDOWS directory.

Perhaps you never noticed why mouse scroll wheels started working in all sorts of dialogs and whatnot even if you never installed Intellimouse? The answer is that Microsoft applications routinely extend the OS and API.

He's incorrect because it is not a correct assumption that the goal of the WINE team is to reproduce the Win95 API.
DirectX
IE5
Windows Media Player
Windows Installer
Active Directory
All of these modify, or extend the Win32 API under Win95 when installed.
