I think he agrees with you. Clearly many users are like your example thus the next level of acceptable policing is corporate....so that the government doesn't come in with "pound-me-in-the-ass" policing.
No, there were Mario, Zelda and Starfox et al but they weren't remakes (Starfox maybe...didn't play either version)...they were sequels to the old games....nothing wrong with doing that. I don't recall any "upgraded" version of an SNES game on N64...even the wrestling games contained innovations over their SNES counterparts.
No, that's not what I meant. I did take your comment out of context. It appears I did what I assumed you were going. That being, making a general statement not related to the topic at hand (the Spirit).
Only problem with your statement is it doesn't apply to the markets where {insert some bloated, interpreted, garbage collected language here} is used. Updating your hardware there to save 3 months of development time IS a viable solution.
I do not think you're right on that first point, though I may not be a lawyer.
If you were right that buying from a vendor that was doing illegal activities made you guilty by default then these cases would be open and shut for DirecTV and they wouldn't be losing them left and right (the ones that go to court that is). Instead, they're being told by the judges that "MERE POSSESSION" is not proof of signal theft. It doesn't matter WHERE you got the LEGAL device from, it is still a LEGAL device.
No, it's that the NY Metro area is a very expensive area. Do you HAVE to live there to have a nice life? Not really. For the vast majority of the USA his statement is correct.
Also, before you say "1100 users??? pfft!" I wanted to state that I'm aware this is small compared many outfits but it's large compared to some as well.
So lets avoid the "well if you had worked in a larger organization then you'd understand what I'm talking about"....I realize this place isn't the largest install by any means but it's not a bad example and I'm sure there are places with much larger userbases than this running Exchange/Outlook.
My first sentence was a little off the mark and my post was overall flamebait. Moderation accepted.
My point however (which was not stated clearly) was this: Exchange and Outlook DO work. If they're configured right and administered right then you don't have problems. Where I'm at with around 1100 users in exchange (maybe more) and all of them using Outlook we've had ONE virus outbreak and it didn't even begin through Outlook.
Are there better solutions? Yes, but sometimes you have to make a choice between price/features/and know how.
My main beef was with the statement overall sentiment of "why would anyone even use exchange?" as if it were some crippled P.O.S. when that is not the case. It's merely the same old story of if it's administered by a competent person or persons then you'll be OK.
Exchange has its strong points and weak points as do other mail packages. That's really beyond the scope of this topic and misses the point. The point is it's not useless.
Yea because security is why we use computer not features.
People actually USE those features of Exchange/Outlook. There's no (or few and incomplete or BRAND NEW) open source equivalents of that combination. Sometimes you have to just do the job and forget about your stupid religious wars.

Fortunately for EPIC/Atari many many many many people (including myself) disagree with you.
Awwww...that's cute.

I was wrong.
Only problem with your statement is it doesn't apply to the markets where {insert some bloated, interpreted, garbage collected language here} is used. Updating your hardware there to save 3 months of development time IS a viable solution.
NONE of you are right.
Ok I take it back....one of you has to be right.
A whole thread of funny comments and you screw it up with this. Come on man!

Really?
Do you have the results of your experiment online anywhere I can see them? How large was your sample?
More importantly, how did you get one of these gadgets to test with? I'd love to get one to run some field tests.
(Waits for, "do you know what sarcasm is?" reply)
Linux *IS* ready for the desktop if you can configure it. Linux may not be ready for Joe User however (some distros aren't FOR Joe User).
It's probably because everyone doesn't bend to your will.
You don't rule the world you know?
Battle Chess *OWNS*
Just had to throw that in there.
"though I may not be a lawyer" ....heh I was thinking something else while typing. I am NOT a lawyer is what I mean.

Phrase it as eloquently as you want, it was still an obvious question.

How is Outlook inherently insecure short of the auto-run feature which is no longer enabled by default.

it'd just be a no-fly zone for aircrafts....you don't hear about them wandering into those every day now do you?
I bet you don't have a girlfriend :P
Millions and millions of years into the future we will devise a mechanism called "artificial insemenation" (spelling may be wrong, I don't care)
Yes, with 160 votes that's nearly 75% of people who will be buying music online so this is a very relevant survey.
Isn't there an official yahoo client for linux?
