So what's he complaining about?

I, Spammer

He knows he is inconviencing people...
And he is being inconvienced!
So how is it that he feels we should feel sorry for him?
Note: He removed the ability to opt out... hence it's completely unsolicited, the email addresses are bought from a *third party*... and spammed so that they can't be removed from the list.
He's a clear cut spammer.
I have no problem with companies like Apple, Gateway, Palm, etc. having a mailing list advertising their products with tips and such... you can opt out... no attempt to disquise.
But he bought the list (obviously because he couldn't aquire a legitimate database)... and hid the ability to remove ones self.
I would go with getting lots of WAP's. Run whatever cable/fiber you choose up the building in key places, and load the place with 802.11g WAP's.
Then sell access to the wap's.
The cards aren't that expensive... and if you buy in bulk, you can most likely get some sort of a discount.
It's compatible with any computer, and cheaper in the long run to upgrade. The WAP's can be easily switched or upgraded. And the only cabling is rather limited in length. it only links the WAP's together.
Since solid state memory is cheaper now than it was, disk drives should use giant amounts of cashe... Perhaps 512MB... let the OS put the common stuff there.... that way boot time, and such could be quicker.
Kind of like auxilary ram. The OS can put stuff there based on what it thinks should be there... for example commonly used apps (in most cases a webbrowser and email client)..
Can also expand on the idea and use solid state as a form of backup, since it's so reliable. Have the system automatically compress data on the drive from specified directorys, and backup to solid state memory.
There are so many potential uses. We rely on hard drives to much.
The sun implementation in my personal opinion has been much better. Less vulnerabilities discovered/exploited, better performance, better compatibility.
Why use this MS crap anyway?
If you have to deal with Windows, at least get a good java implementation.
I love having this with my Thinkpad. I miss my OS X system at home. And need windows for school. Whenever I get unix sick, and need to see home directory... Just pop in the CD.
It works great. Even works with my built in Wireless Card, and my ethernet card.... can't believe how great the drivers are on that CD. Works with everything I own.
If sun were smart, they would look to Apple as a partner... Sun could get exclusive rights to build "clones"... and provide software like Open Office for OS X... not to mention good Java support....
Sun's hardware would make good xServe alternatives. Not to mention some good desktop workstations.
Apple would gain the experience Sun has, which would allow for better hardware and software.
Now that cisco is on board, with great firmware experience, they can fix models like the BEFW11P1, which wile good hardware, and feature packed... had aweful firmware.

I would think it's safe to say earthlink email addresses will be blocked from mailinglists in the future.
It's going to be like using Mosaic to browse the web. Or telnet port 80.

Start with SMTP
Then lets redo http, to be more efficient, use a PCI card to do compression... we could make it much more efficient.
Replace all HTML with XHTML
Replace POP3 with IMAP all around
Replace All file sharing with WebDAV, perhaps enhance it a bit.
Then a standard IM Protocol.
Ah life would be good.
That would be music to my ears
Should use intelegent drive management.

Yea, Geek porn! Robots and womens backs (the one thing a geek sees a lot of as the chicks always walk away)....
If only I were that robot...
I'm still hoping I can get my 3GHz G5 (TBA tomorrow). ;)

Lots of software to boot as well
No more glowing Apple logo's. No more clear iBooks. No more lights. :(
True. But remember, Apple is a hardware company. Their profits are mostly hardware.
It's a change in business strategys.
Just wait until MS announces you have to give them 10% of all software sold that's Microsoft-Approved....
And joint ownership of code.
All your bases are belonging to gates.
