95% of the time, the business changes their mind about the project and/or doesn't know what they want, anyway.
I suppose this was modded Funny because it is true. I have not seen a project yet that hasn't resulted from project bloat. As the project progresses new deliverables are tacked onto the end. One can try and have the project plan set in stone at the beginning, but it never works because all the new stuff is "critical to the business".
So how can any project meet it's deadline under these circumstances? (that was rhetorical. no need to actually answer)
This kind of assumes that the machines that are sending spam are also listening for SMTP. IMHO I would doubt that. Also, what about all the hijacked Windoze boxes out there that are sending spam on behalf of spamers. Granted I wouldn't feel bad about them getting their hacked machines hosed, but I don't see how that would help the overall situation.

not particularly entertaining, none of the stories are more than slightly amusing, and its protagonist projects an unappealing mixture of vanity and whining
So the book sucks and has nothing to do with Sci-Fi, Fantasy or Technology. I'm confused, why is it being reviewed here?
You could take the approach that TrollTech did and have 2 licenses. One license is an opensource one, in which you are free to use the product if your product is opensource. If your product is not opensource then you must purchase a commercial license. This is saying, if you are making money from my product then I can make money too. Seems to work for them.
I can say from my own experience with 3ware is that it sucks. We decided that we wanted to use S-ATA because we could get a lot of disk cheap. The problem was that these escalade cards didn't do parallel IO very well and by that I mean if one user is doing a long write operation the entire RAID array would go unresponsive to other users. For example if I created a large 20G oracle datafile the entire system would seem unresponsive until the operation completed. I wouldn't even be able to ssh into the server. And this was RedHat AS in case anyone wanted to know.
Moral of this story? You get what you pay for. SCSI should be used for servers.
To be fair, however, I was never able to determine if it was a result of using S-ATA, 3Ware or the linux device driver.
Honestly, who cares about advocacy? IMHO, (which is why I'm posting right?), Open source is not about getting other people to use open source but instead to do cool stuff. I am involved in Open Source because I like to program, nothing more, nothing less. If someone uses my program then great. If not I don't care. My license plate says "OPENSRC" not because I'm advocating open source but because it is what I am about. If someone asks me my opinion I'll say go open source. If they choose to ignore my advice then so be it.
And isn't that what is wrong with the world today. People need to worry about themselves and not about what other people are doing. (unless, of course, those other people are hurting other people)

Actually, yes. April 17th. Don't miss the first one. It has the best crap.
At least, not after marriage.
Like OggVorbis support? Sweet.
I say no!!!!
Isn't this what a good expect script is for? ;-)

The same thing happens when I eat at Taco Bell, but no one has claimed my stomach is a black hole.
When they said "Pause live TV" they just forgot to include "every 15-20 minutes".
Private callers shouldn't have to pay anything due to the engaging nature of personal calls. Yeah, if you're a chick.
