  1. Outsource or IMS on Infrastructure for One Million Email Accounts? · · Score: 1

    I'd agree with the comment of looking at outsourcing.
    There are excellent email providers which could provide customized email solution that can easily scale to your need.
    Should that not be an option, one solution to scaled to that size for me in the past is the iPlanet Messaging Server from Sun. It is also used by a lot of ISPs for their customers. Very versatile, customizeable and solid.

    Good luck

  2. Re:Cheaper? For _you_, maybe. on Metech Offers to Recycle Your Mac · · Score: 1
    Do you actually have any idea how much Corporations pay to have the computers thrown away? 1000 desktops don't fit in a dustbin...
    They have to pay the suppliers (Dell, Compaq, etc) to take back the old computers. If I remember properly, this fee was around 30$-50$. Most companies will find it cheaper to donate the computer to local schools, charities or the like.

    Same for you, you should recycle what you buy. Someone else doesn't pay for you to recycle your bottles, plastics and paper. You consume, you pay.

    However, before you have to do that, though, give it away. You might even get tax credits! And you'll be helping out too...
    If you want to recycle, try the Dell Exchange program, they'll give you a 10% rebate on Software or peripherals. They can even handlee donations for you. Need anymore hand holding? ;-)

  3. Re:DAB radios on TiVo-Like Devices for Radio? · · Score: 1

    Will the electronic program guide guive you the song lists or rather the show lists?

  4. NextSTEP and Rhapsody NSHosting on Making Mac OS X Work Like X Windows? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Both NextSTEP and its later Apple incarnation, Rhapsody, included a feature very similar to Xwindows remote hosts: NSHosting.

    This was supported by the windowing system, then based on Display Postscript. If my memory serves me well, you could even display an application running on different OSs as long as you had OpenStep installed locally.

    Moving to Quartz, this wonderful feature unfortunately didn't make it...

    Some say some of the hooks are there for a third party to implement it (CGRemoteOperation.h).
