Leia: Luke, after studying for years the effect of Midi-chlorians in the way we use the Force, I've come to the conclusion that they bare no effect in who can or cannot become a Jedi, all we know about them is wrong...anybody can be a Jedi...
At work, we needed to archive (for compliance purposes) all the inbound/outbound email messages of our users (about a 1K aprox). We setup an Ubuntu server with postfix and dovecot IMAP over SSL, using Maildir.
Our users generate about 20K email messages daily, and we store each day in it's own directory, something like this:
INBOX
|- YYYY
|- MM
|- DD
The auditors use Evolution to connect to the archive server and search the emails, even though it takes a little while to load a day of emails for the first time, once it's properly loaded searching is really fast. The server is not that powerful, it's a VM with 2 CPUs and 2GB of RAM. You do need a lot of storage though.
Agreed, we currently use the Barracuda IM at our main office with around 250 users and it works great, was very easy to set up and we can specifically configure who can use outside networks or not, and everything gets logged appropriately.
I've been to the US a couple of times this year, the last one about 3 weeks ago to Las Vegas.
I had to take my laptop with me for several reasons, but during the security check-in in Houston no one bothered me at all about the laptop, just had to take it out of my bag for the x-ray check.
I think encryption is a great alternative, not because of Big Brother, but because your laptop might get stolen in Puerto Vallarta.
I work for a bank in Guatemala, and we've been experimenting with fingerprint readers with the objective of giving our customers easier access to financial services.
You have to understand that my country has a very high illiteracy rate (40%+), so our primary goal was to reach that sector of society. Normally, they would have to bring a literate witness to verify their identity, which is very demeaning. Now, by using their fingerprint, they can deposit or withdraw money without hassels.
We're not trying to give them an excuse to remain illiterate, we want to give them a little sense of dignity instead. So far, we've had great results, it has also been a great experience for everyone involved.
I know i'm bit late, but it doesn't matter, right? Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year, hope all their hopes and wishes come through this year and always...
What predictions do i have? Well, none. I'm just really excited about the whole Genome project, finding cures for Alzheimer, Parkinson, Cancer, etc. would help an unbelieveble amount of people, for i know how cruel these diseases can be...
Godspeed!!!!

Bear.
(Bare means uncovered, unclothed, naked, unaided...
"I wrestled the big brown bear with my bare hands"
although probably not for long unless the bear had been heavily drugged)
Better yet, "have no effect on who..."
Thank you for explaining the difference unitron, english is not my native language and I don't always get it right :)

Hope this helps.
