why would any business waste huge amounts of money on an Exchange server?
why, what other commercial offerings are there? Novell Groupwise, Lotus Notes,.... what?
Most companies want software that people can come in and just use - they want support on that software to be available as and when they get problems. They want to know its been successfully deployed in other companies, but most of all want and need it to work well with Windows!
I speak only out of logic here, not facts, so take this as you will..
Most P2P programs which break down files into chunks would have some sort of hash on the individual chunks, which are compared to others or a central tracker (a la bittorrent) - you cant rename file and try to share them, as your data will continually be corrupted to other users.
Of course, the more basic P2P apps, like the old gnutella (& co) simply worked off the name and downloaded from a single user, whereby renaming would let you download rubbish, thinking it was something else!
eMule/Donkey/whatever has a has for the files and even if the filenames the same, if the hash doesnt match, that users file is not lumped in with all the others that do match - its returned as an extra result in the search box.

I wonder if they thought about finding water, and getting stuck in it - is this why they sent TWO to be there at the same time? Can anyone make out a winch on the rovers??

...scientists want to study fine-grained soil that's sticking to Spirit's wheels.
erm, thats probably just wet dirt (aka mud!), keep digging and find the underground base!
And hey! (tangent time) why the heck havent they toddled over to the face?:(
The trench is not expected to become a well, however.
in other words, theyve taken a gamble! does spirit have deep treads and 4x4 capabilities?:)
Laymans terms, probably misunderstood: They have an incredible mishmash of licenses between each source file, as each file can contain a message stating what license it is released under. Theyve just created another which encompasses the binary distribution. The whole binary distribution. Except the portions which had seperate licenses as specified by the source code. But to check which those bits are, you would have to check each source file, and know what it does.
So I guess Mandrake have decided, probably in these exact words "F*CK THAT!"
i've used samba as a client, to access windows shares before, but never really read into it as a server..
is samba actually suited to serving linux desktops, as opposed to NFS or something? i always assumed it was a crossover to basically enable windows file sharing..?
Always good to hear about some large company/organisations plan to move over to linux - its just a shame its missing more of the technical details..
i'm forever curious to know how everything integrates - think Active Directory on windows, is there such a thing for linux? if not, how do users login to various machines? how is the fileserver secured?
So why write a worm, if you're not going to spread it?
For the sheer intellectual challenge, Philet0ast3r replied, the fun of producing something ''really cool.''

The virus community attracts a lot of smart but alienated young men, libertarian types who are often flummoxed by the social nuances of life.

Nah, I think more of the little computer thing they had in the film Red Planet.. Remember when they'd landed away from their point, they got a small rectangular box out, yanked out a clear filmlike material and held it up to the horizon? It mapped out the current landscape, flipped it, then projected where they needed to go, all overlaid with what they could see!
Now THAT would be cool:)
Heck, just think, if they made this e-paper stuff with a mini universal adapter.. You could have different dongles for doing different things! Plug in a combined USB-memory-stick-with-battery (think Creative Muvo) and you've got a ebook. Plug in a USB lead plugged into a computer, youve got a monitor. Plug in a pre-filled memory-stick-with-battery, you've got a reuseable map.. Now theres a market right there, sticks with maps, tourist info..
Heck, you could make the battery and memory stick seperate, (have the battery removeable of course) allowing you to charge when you like, with different memory-sticks providing different functionality! Think digital cameras, think HUD's on army helmets, cars, etc
I can't help but feel that the strength of an Apple lies in its desktop features
Very true - even the old versions of MacOS were a relative joy to use (OS7 era im talking about). Admittedly, I hadnt used *nix around that time, but Windows certainly wasnt great at all!
Some of their newer hardware, especially their cluster servers looks absolutely gorgeous. I'd love to admin something like that:)
Good god, imagine if Virginia Tech had used racks of those instead.. A sight to behold, I'd bet!

sooo... whats the point of the tags exactly?
it certainly is if youve ever owned a nintendo or sega system!
Sony is the only one that had backward compatability..
Think NES, SNES, N64, GC, or Master System, Genesis/Megadrive, Dreamcast - none of those were interchangeable!

Good god, whens this coming out?
Help my imaginations working!!
they are working on getting "very good homes" for the PowerMac G5s which will be replaced.
Can EBay be slashdotted? I guess we'll find out now!
well you know what they say about standards - theres so many to choose from! :)
double trouble for them - a license to use linux and a license to use their name :)
SCO's next endevour?
you don't need to be logged in as anyone to do this. Any user who has access to the machine can do it.
not as great as *nix in that you cant limit who can do it, but you still have the password to keep them out - much like windows in that respect!
ok, I see your point..
