Epic Systems has products that will satisfy all your requirements. The server will run on Linux (and all major Unix systems), but the clients are mostly Windows based, with some Web functionality quickly coming along.
I work with M daily - all the things you talk about are inherent to old implementations. The newest implementations from Intersystems (called Cache) have none of these problems, include object additions, and they support Linux. There are two open-source or free implementation efforts: FreeM and Mumps V1.
For more information you can visit the M Technology web site.
You can build very large and very fast systems with M/Mumps, and I hope to see more implementations of the free kind.
Given the rock-solidness of the Debian stable releases, and the fact that a lot of people do use the unstable versions as well, this sounds as a great idea. Hopefully this won't generate a lot of overhead for the different maintainers.
Given that Netscape for example can crash a perfectly fine Linux box, I will be very surprised if the ported products won't be able to crash Linux. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that turns out to be one reason for the effort. The masters of FUD can then claim that the rumors about Linux stability are only because Linux had never before tried to run "industry standard productivity applications".
As a top flight professional consultant who has worked with many companies attempting to leverage their business onto the net, I generally recommend that companies obtain as much information as they possibly can, but allow an "opt out" policy for customers for whom privacy is a concern.
Dear Mr. Top Flight Professional Consultant, Sir!
Could you please enlighten us what do you recommend to your customers in terms of keeping our personal data secure. Do you insist that all data is kept encrypted? Do you suggest that the encrypted data is stored on a separate machine, with audited security?
Because, if you don't do these things, you are little more than a two-bit hack, acting irresponsibly, and giving computer professionals a bad name - script-kiddie with a suit.

The question is not how much the computers cost, the question is why a machine with Windows costs less than the same machine with Linux? I don't buy the R&D costs argument - I think Dell is still paying MS the Windows tax for every machine sold, regardless if it had Windows on it or not.
Panasonic is in the laptop (even sub-laptop) market. I don't know if there are any Panasonic laptops available in the US, but I saw a Japanese Panasonic laptop which 3 years ago was thinner and cooler looking than anything else available then (and probably now).
In my service area, the dynamic IPs are solely for the purpose to make life easier for the @Home network admins to reconfigure their subnets. They keep mapping tables to translate the horrendous host name they give you into the IP address for it. This means that you get the same IP address every time you reconnect, with few exceptions when a major reconfiguration may have taken place in your region, and they have updated their mapping tables. In my case, since I had some problems with their DHCP, they just gave me a static IP address, and I've had it for an year now.
Prohibitting using the service for VPN connections is new, but has nothing to do with forcing individual IPs on each machine in your home. The latter has been there for a while, but I think is only so that they don't have to support your home LAN questions.
Using the service for VPN connection may assume that you are doing work from home, which they want you to do using their @Work service (more expensive). Another interpretation may be that you can't offer VPN services, but that would fall under their "no public servers" policy.
Can they track VPN connections? I think they can, as this is a specific protocol, which can be selectively sniffed. Even though the payload is encrypted, the protocol information would be visible. I hope someone will correct me if I am wrong on this.
I agree. Besides, even if you can't get the neighbors to help with the setup costs, and you can afford them, how likely is that your neighbors will get cable modems? if the don't, they won't be limitting your bandwith by just watching cable channels.
I think choosing a good type system is where a lot of languages fall flat, and I'm not a big fan of the huge C++/Java Object/Type/Library approach, although I haven't seen a truly good solution to this problem yet.
You may want to check out Standard ML (SML). It is a functional OO language, it is interactive, and compiled. Here is a good starting point.
In both cases it seems to me that the less words like "Fuck" are used and are being thrown around, the better the final result. It is hard to tell if the author is trying to express his strong emotions in the narrative, or if he really talked this way to the police, but I believe there are better ways to convey a damning verdict of the wrongs done to him over that week.
Coupled with voice recognition, what would prevent a cellular phone-size device to project a hologram of a computer screen, and have all the functionality of current desktop machine? Smaller, cheaper, power efficient processors are becoming available, so in few years these things will exist. The "screen in your eye" type devices are already here, but I don't think that they will be as easily accepted as a screen hologram.
PS Obviously, I have dibs on the holographic screen idea, so don't try to steal it;-P
Usually in the US you can have a trademark which is identical to another company's, as long as the two companies don't have overlapping markets. Example: Epic the software game company, and Epic the medical software company (not to mention Epic Records or Epic Insurance). I am not sure why this is a problem in Germany, though.
I disagree. Linked lists, trees, graphs, string manipulation - these are all part of the general programmer's culture and knowledge. It doesn't have to be related to a particular programming language, of course, but understanding the concepts is very important.

Sound like a movie... The only question is, will Dustin Hoffman play Heckler, or one of the guys supporting the amicus brief?
What a coincidence that PGP was found vulnerable due to the modfications by a corporation, while GPG, the Free Software equivalent, is not vulnerable.

Any G*d fearing user of censorware would have blocked all URLs containing 666 in it...
Since the company I work for has a deep distrust of anything open source (they replaced Apache for Netscape Server)
I am sure a smart and visionary company like this can write it's own implementation of WebSphere.
Fear not! We have Vigor
This isn't what Mainsoft are doing. They're porting Office without benefit of Wine.
They are porting it with MainWin - which to me sounds a lot like WINE, except Mainsoft has the Win NT/2K source code.

It is a "personal" domain, registered on January 8, 1999. The guy obviously hasn't done anything with it...
I for one would have loved to register for ICANN, but their darn system wouldn't let me.
Same here! Are they going to have other registration periods? I hope I can get registered before the next election.
Caution: flamable, please handle with care :-)

Right! Even CNN says so in this article.

2. Make said email client be able to access multiple accounts from the same instance of the client.
This is exactly what Mozilla is doing - you should try M17 which is about to come out in a couple of days.
