Bayonne, the telecommunications application server of
the GNU project, will offer a free, scalable, media
independent software environment for development and
deployment of telephony solutions for use with current
and next generation telephone networks. Bayonne
already offers a fully distributed application server for
use today with multi-line telephony cards from many
vendors under free operating systems.
This works great with the single line Quicknet Cards as well.
I will forgive you the inaccuracy of the dial micrometer. But I can't forgive the fact that the flatness of a surface can NOT be measured with a micrometer. You need a known flat surface (certified granite plate), and a dial indicator with sturdy, stable stand. Anyone who has worked in a machine shop can verify this for you. The way that you arrived at your measurement; the surface possibly, could be "perfectly" flat.
Let us all hope that you aren't a business major. I own my own business, and it is not a big business. I own my own business, and do not know everything about running a business. I own my own business, and no matter how big it gets, or how much I learn about running a business; I doubt I will ever be heard to say "price doesn't matter much". Granted quality, and reliablity will always come before cost, cost will never become a complete after thought.
Well, it looks like 5.0 will be last version I will be buying. This really sucks, Visio was one of the only things I had left that I would run under VMware:). Any suggestions for a replacement, it wouldn't have to be open sourced.

If they are so unskilled how did they crack so many, high profile sights? Is the security that bad, or do they expect us to believe that these crackers have in their possession "SuperDooper" powerful software that cracks the excellent security in place on these servers.
Pure and simple, do what your told. BUT, post some messages to select newsgroups, using those who asked you to snoop. Results, unsolicited pornographic email. Personally I detest unsolicited email; but everything can be a tool in a fashion. BTW, yes it will work for you, it has worked for me (in a fairly large company I was on contract to), and it will work for us again.
Has anyone heard if they will ever port StarOffice Server to Linux? Could it be now that it is under the community license? I could place this in many, many places if this is the case.
a) It was GPL'd (version 2). b) The original owner practically begged for a while for someone to take it over, as his place of employment would not be using it much in the future. c) Few people stepped forward; but the most (IMHO) promising person (JQH) was assigned the code base. d) Problem: JQH's available time started to dimish; after what some believe was a great start. I was sorry to see this, but I don't blame JQH for this; we all only have 24 hrs/day e) J decided to take over the code without so much as a nod in JQH's direction. I have no doubt looking back at the events that if J had asked to co-author or even to take it over JQH would have said yes. But it didn't happen, J was publicly maligning JQH before he even started his work on it. d) J's work on the "code" has been good and at a good pace. e) I am glad to see J's work and use it, I think as far as the code goes he is doing a great job.
Conclusion: It was handled poorly by J, JQH was only defending himself, it's over. I think the biggest loss of this whole affair has been the attitude toward open source projects that JQH and others must feel. I think a couple of guys need to sit down with some beer and make nice. I think we all need to appreciate what work/help/code we do get and not abuse it, as it only makes the next person that much more likely not to contribute. As for the name I (IMHO) don't think J had a right to use the name. But it would never have come to a split if it had been handled properly, they both wanted the same end and didn't even disagree as to how to get there. I guess the lesson to be learned is if you really want to contribute, do so. How many projects turn down worthwhile contributions that don't detract from the projects goal without so much as a reason; none (of any consequence) that I know of.

That should have been Bayonne
It's late here I apoligize.

$400 dollars per seat? You consider this an option. Besides this looks like a web based hosted solution.
My apologies, "the surface possibly" should have been "the mating surface possibly".

Oops, sites that is.
