Pffftttt, yeah, you live with some real hardcore gangsta's. STFU.
Your probably one of those idiots who are fooled by wannabe's running around acting like they're tough or something but at the end of the day go home to their boring suburban lives that compel them to behave this way.
You are a child.

Arent you worried about your account? That's a pretty low registration number. It'd be a shame if you lost it because of your abuse of the public e.mail address form.
How good an Exchange admin are you if you don't know about Single Instance Store in Exchange? Priv.edb doesn't hold a separate copy of that attachment for every user. It's kept in the database and is only referred to once for everyone in the distribution list.
So to keep it simple for you:
If your CEO (who you think is an idiot but somehow makes more money than you) sends his PowerPoint attachment to 20 people internally (and assuming those 20 users keep their mailboxes on the same Exchange server), there will only be one copy of that PowerPoint app in priv.edb.
You didn't tell us how much your Exchange setup cost for 50k users.
It's very nice that you work for a rich company that gets its money from the oil industry or whatever, but we were discussing a report that focused on the cost of system for said 50k users. We didn't need to be subjected to a "outlook is prettier, so therefore better" type spam post.
This is ridiculous. Out of all the so-called "mirrors" here, only one link actually bothered to copy more than one page.
If you're going to "mirror" something, do the whole thing, otherwise when MS forces them to bring their site down, you'll have more than just a page of broken links.
I guess you didn't read the part where it said he had 290,000 options. Admittedly, they aren't worth anything, but that's the tradeoff a lot of people make. Lower salary, more options. Say pseudo.com did take off and he was able to exercise at a price that got him $10/share. Even after taxes, he'd be doing much better than pretty much any salaried job. I guess compared to him, you would be the chump.
The type of software that desktop linux desperately needs is a counterpart to MS's Outlook/Outlook Express and the IE browser. Netscape and its lack of multiple pop mail account support doesn't cut it. (su'ing to another user to open a separate e.mail account doesn't count)
If you use linux as your desktop OS, then you definitely want to see someone offer something like MS Office. Staroffice and Corel are almost there though. Also, NS6pr3 is almost there too.
Have you forgotten that IIS is only allowed to run on NT4 Server (not workstation) and I'm pretty sure that it can't be run on Win2k Professional. Not to mention the fact that it can't be run on win95/98/ME, etc.
Also, don't get me started on the licensing requirement in NT4 WS, where you are not allowed to have more than 10 concurrent tcp/ip connections meaning that you can basically *never* install Netscape web server/apache/(insert favorite http server here) on Workstation.
Someone over at MS needs their heads caved in with a crowbar for this particular licensing greediness designed to force people to buy the much more expensive NT4 Server.
Where did you get the idea that a non-technical manager would be able to manage technical resources competently? The only reason why a technical manager is hired in a lot of cases is because they are an interface to the business people upstairs who are unable to grasp how to fit technology into their business plans, processes, models, etc.
Personally, I've never met a good non-technical manager. In a highly competitive environment where learning is absolutely necessary to being good, not having the smarts means not measuring up to standards. That's why they don't get respect.
Has anyone read this book by Neal Stephenson called Cryptinomicon? The last part of the book was all about this. The first computer apparently was supposed to be dedicated to de-crypting Japanese codes.
I can't really say that there is any compelling argument to defend pirating music, but let's not forget that the music industry really brings this on themselves when they mark up the price of CD's so high. It costs less than a dollar to produce a CD w/ the jewel box and liner notes, but it sells for $15+. Just bring down the fucken price and the music industry will still be making millions, and the price will seem a lot more reasonable.
Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't teach, teach gym.
Most people at school (even the teachers running the computer courses) aren't equipped to deal with anything more complicated than Windows. Don't ask them to take on anything like linux in any official curriculum-based capacity. The brainpower just isn't there.
Think back to the conformist-dogma-teaching zombies that you knew in high school. I only knew two teachers who would be capable of networking with linux. My physics and my chemistry teacher. The guy who bought Apple IIe's for our school wouldn't have a clue as to what to do.
While I agree that the Linux companies, red hat, va linux, et al. are grossly overvalued, the author of the article claimed that the $5Billion market cap value of VA Linux is unjustified compared to Compaq, Dell, HP, etc.
I'd like to point out that the market cap value of Dell is over $90Billion and Compaq's (who's market cap value should be much greater if it wasn't for their own distribution incompetence) is over $40Billion and I didn't bother to check HP's but one can say that it's up there. VA Linux's market value is pretty small in comparison. I'm pretty sure that when Michael Dell goes to sleep on his bed of money at night, he's not wondering what VA Linux is doing. (He's probably wondering how to expand the brand of Dell beyond pc's to other markets that IBM competes in.)
What you forgot to factor in is that the PSX2 will be something that you can't compare to today's consoles like the Dreamcast or the N64. If there is an addition like the DSL/Cable Modem module and a keyboard/mouse, well Good God, real on-line gaming may take us to a new world.

Your mom has been taking care of that for us.
Or maybe it's not the first.

This sounds like bullshit. Name the company.
He didn't you ignorant assclown.
"...playing with lie-knucks,..."
Goddamn, you're stupider than your comments.
I guess this is precisely the attitude that TVDDaddy was talking about.
If someone wants to write device drivers for your OSS, you don't rail against him and question his skills beforehand.
No wonder most of the people i encounter in #freebsd on undernet or efnet are such jerks.
Hey grammar nazi fool.
"...that somes it up very nicely." should be:
"...that sums it up very nicely."
It's alright if you feel like an ass.

Or don't.
P.S. You want to say that Linux can overcome inertia. But it doesn't really matter since it's an inappropriate reference.
If they think kernel development is going too slowly, then IBM, Compaq, et al can download the source and submit the changes they want to Linus.
Fuck 'em if they can't stand the fact that they can't buy Linus off like he's some kind of sell-out.
Is this the first time a phone number has been slashdotted? I can't recall any stories that had a phone number in the description.

So i'm not sure whether or not IIS can be run on Win2k Pro, BFD.
And if I'm guilty of assault, sue me, douche-bag.
