It sounds like you need to call the FCC or the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission). I know from working at MCI for several years that the phone company is supposed to handle your claims of fraud very seriously, and if they aren't you need to talk with the government about it.
I have also noticed that scripts are precompiled to some extent (likely into some sort of byte code) so the servers at least aren't having to burn time parsing every time the script is used. Though I do wonder if they do this compiling on the server side or the client. If they do it server side I would think there would be some improvements if they decided to use the client to compile the code and just send the script's text and byte code over the wire.
Lets face it, every company I've worked for people try and use their email to store their attachments that they "need to keep". Problem is that they've replied to this email several times over which duplicates that attachment several times. Take a 10MB attachment for example, if a manager sends it out to 10 people requesting feed back, and they all respond to him, and then he turns around thanking them, all the while keeping the attachment that's almost.5 GB in just one thread! OUCH!
Simply increasing your storage space isn't going to resolve your problem either. People will just continue to expand their mail files until you run out of space.
We use Lotus Notes at my company, for most user's in North America we impose a 650MB limit. VIPs and Executives can get that raised to 850MB, or 1GB if they really need it (VARY RARE!). If the user goes over quota they are prevented from creating new mail messages until they get their size down (either through archiving or deleting unwanted messages).
We've also implemented a system that flushes messages out of a user's mail file that's older than 90 days, it warns them well before this time period that a message is in danger of being removed, and they are encouraged to archive any important emails before this happens.
Archives are stored on their local machines and are not backed up by us, the user is responcible for backing them up.
Indeed he was. Something I just found out as a friend of mine pointed out. Now that I look at the CNN story its vastly different from what it was when I first submitted it here on/.
Even still though, why would anyone want to do something like this? I can't really imagen someone sitting down and going "hm, you know, I think I can get cheaper biodiesel by burning dead cats."
EULA's being restrictive is nothing new. Though I can't say I'm trhilled with the prospect of them being able to arbitrary "... audit your use of the Software for compliance..."
Though forgive me if I'm a bit navie, as I do not use Flash much at all, but isn't SVG http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/ a possible option?
Granted its probably not as robust, and it might not do everything that Flash can, but its a start.
When I was IBM (I worked for Lotus for about a year) I recall desprately wanting to get trained on the S390 and the AS400 platforms, but no one would allow me to do it. (Though they acted like they would)
Near as I can tell the machines are just too expencive to have someone going to tinker and play around just to learn the system, which I found somewhat disappointing.

At least now you won't have to worry about learning how to use those sea shells now. ;)

Indeed, an off line sand box would be nice.
