They have had a bad quarter, their expenses are up and their income is down. Their earnings per share for the quarter is about the third worst in the last three years, but I think it is way too early to spot any real trend. Besides earnings of $1.4 billion for a quarter is not exactly shabby.
Umm... Would someone please explain what the privacy concerns here?
Seriously a lot of countries already have fingerprints of all citizens over the age of 16 on file and they have never had any problems, how is this any different and how is it possible to abuse this info?
Also the idea of insurance companies buying the info is a crock. If they were going to use it they would simply require a blood test before granting the insurance, again the same way life insurance companies in countries with high AIDS rates insist on AIDS tests before they grant insurance.
Real men steal power South African township style.
Find an old steel shopping trolley and hook it up to the nearst pole. Legend has it that it makes a great heater in winter. True several people get electocuted every year but they are just wimps.
(Yes its a true story. The electricity supplier "claims" that over 80% of the power use in some townships is illegal.)
I've worked a lot with cyrus, courier, and WU-Imap.
Wu -- Simple and easy to install, but slow and minimal features
Cyrus -- Definitly the fastest, but a pain to configure and I found that the user databases got corrupted very easily. This would result in users being able to see messages but not download them.
Courier -- Definitly my favourite, its almost as fast as cyrus, has tons of features and really scales, the customers I have using it typically have a few hundred accounts on midrange P3/IDE machines.
Setup is a bit complicated, but I have the users details stored in a mysql database, multiple virtual domains on a box, and the delivery of the messages is handled by exim, again using mysql for the delivery details. Because each message is stored in a separate file, it is easy track down and remove problem messages accross an entire domain. It also makes it pretty bullet proof.
RPM is just the base installer. Redhat's up2date does exactly what you want.
For sites that don't need or want to use RHN then by far the best system to use is the redhat rpm port of apt-get available on freshrpms.net
(not sure where its real home is).
We've been using for almost 2 years now and it really is awesome.
One of the reasons that SOAP is so complicated is that the firewall crowd have already been there. A Soap request has a TON of rules, requiring it to specify which method it will call in the HTTP header as well as the body etc. XML-RPC on the other hand is very elegant and simple, probably why it's in wide-spread use already, unlike SOAP.

Sadly it is mostly bullshit. Go to Microsoft Investor relations and download their results.

Lay off the weed its making you paranoid.
If they can't use the up2date servers then maybe current an open source clone.
At least that way the standard RHN clients would continue to work.

There is nothing in the license that prohibits the BSD license. This is only there to annoy RMS and company.
Besides in some ways it's the same as GPL: Microsoft wrote the original code, so they get to decide on how derivatives get distributed.
