Ximian(TM) Connector is a unique extension to the Ximian Evolution(TM) groupware suite that allows Linux and UNIX users to manage personal information and collaborate with co-workers using Microsoft Exchange 2000. With Ximian Connector installed, Ximian Evolution will function as an Exchange 2000 client, enabling users to manage their email, personal and group calendars, address books and tasks lists using existing company Exchange 2000 servers. As a result, workgroups, departments and companies using Ximian software can cost-effectively enhance productivity, integration and support for their growing populations of Linux desktops.
Ever heard of student loans? They're really not a loan, they're an investment in your future that just happens to pay negative interest with an initial negative infusion of capital.
DING! DING!
pz hits the nail on the head. College isn't about learning History or Chemistry, it's about learning how to think AND socialize. Remember: It's not just what you know, it's also who you know.
Every job I have had since college has been as a direct result of knowing someone in the company, whether directly or through a friend.
Some Microsoft apps update via Software Update (IE) and others don't (Office). There's no Rhyme or Reason. Maybe it's because IE is part of the Operating System? Wait, er, nah.
Why didn't you use a local freight company? The total distance travelled for the machines would've been 300 miles rather than the 1000+ with the machines going through Memphis (FedEx's hub). Not a flame, just curious. What dictated the use of FedEx?
Nice misconception. A few schools have more money than God: Andover, Exeter, St. Pauls, Lawrenceville, Groton and Peddie. A lot of schools have no money: Lawrence Academy, The Hun School, The Hill School among others.
A lot of monies given to these schools is for general upkeep and to offset tuition and for financial aid.
I know. I buy my O'Reilly books from Quantum Books in Cambridge, MA. All O'Reilly books are 20% off AND if you buy 5, you get the 6th FREE (as in beer).
From the article: Despite that, the printing and distribution time meant that if I finished the book in early March, it wouldn't appear in bookstores or on the Web until the middle of April. Normally that delay is merely a little frustrating. However, a book needs a shelf life of about six months to recoup the costs of printing and distribution, not to mention the author's royalties and the publisher's overhead. While writing about iPhoto and seeing the discussions taking place about it online, it became blindingly obvious that Apple was likely to update iPhoto soon, with a July release at Macworld Expo in New York being the latest we could imagine, leaving only a few months of shelf life. Apple wasn't talking, but the financial risk of printing thousands of copies of the book was just too great for Peachpit to justify going ahead with the printing when I finished writing in early March. From my point of view, even though the risk was primarily Peachpit's, I couldn't stomach the thought of recycling thousands of copies of the book because of poor timing. But at the same time, I had a completed book on my hands, and since iPhoto had been downloaded over one million times in two months, I figured there were plenty of people who could use the book right away.
While I will agree that Lotus Notes is better feature for feature than Exchange, Notes is harder to setup properly. A poorly implemented Notes/Domino environment is MUCH WORSE than a poorly implememnted Exchange environment.
Exchange is better in environments where users hop from machine to machine (as long as all of the clients are Windows).

What if they just go 100-200 feet under water when the storm approaches?
My friend's father was one of the original engineers on the Video Disc project (RCA/David Sarnoff Research in Princeton). They read the discs with a needle.
That reminds me of that Ask Marilyn question a few years back that she didn't have an answer for.
"Why can't we combat Global Warming by having everyone crank their ACs and open their windows?"
I don't even know where to start on that one. Even if all of the ACs were perfect engines your net effect would be zero. Now take into account the heat generated making all of the electricity to run these ACs, etc. I was dumbfounded. The answer is right there in any 1st year Physics book.
I had a server room all to myself. I kept it at about 52F and stayed in there. The ambient noise killed me. The room had its own AC put in there by the former tenant (SpyGlass) and had enough power to run a room twice the size.
Question:
If you have machines plugged into two different circuits with isolated grounds, will you run into trouble if they're connected by LAN cables?
The Federal Government uses it. Cross reference the CIA article from today and you see that the CIA uses it as well. OK, they are part of the Federal Government.
PDP11-70 running RSTS/e was the first machine I worked on as a 9-year old back in 1981. My mother signed my two brothers and me up for a computing class for kids at the local community college. The computer lab had both paper-terminals and CRT-terminals. The amount of paper we went through was obscene.
Then my high-school had a PDP11 that someone had donated. By the time I got to use it they were phasing it out.
I heard that Thomas Jefferson Sci-Tech in Alexandria, VA had a super-computer at one point. Any truth to that?
I'm going to have to agree with you on this. There are plenty of tutorials on getting Lego Mindstorm to work, Apache, BIND, SENDMAIL, but very little on NetInfo.

That's only if you're being half-assed about it. You can put a masterlock on the machine to prevent it from being opened.
Your friend is a dork.

I didn't realize that Mail.app had shared calendars and shared addressbooks. There's more to Exchange than MAIL.

They don't get $50 for each $50 game sold. Licensing is where they get their money, maybe $5 per-game?

O'Reilly will give you 30% off the next edition of a book. All you have to do is send in the title page of the old book.
