A good newspaper should be doing that for you. Newspapers are no longer about delivering 'breaking news'. The 24/7 news cycle has ended that. The typical readership of a quality newspaper know what happened in the world yesterday. They want to know why it happened and what the consequences might be.
Today newspapers should be about the insightful commentary, bringing together of sources and unique investigative journalism. Of course these are also the most expensive parts, so have been targeted for cuts by many newspapers.
The problem the print division at the NYT faces is that the cost per printed copy is directly dependent on subscription volume. So if folk stop taking the paper copy, they cost to produce it increases - you have all the same costs for typesetting and running a print works, you just saved some cents worth of paper and a blob of ink.
roaming profiles are the worst way of a solution to this problem. Ever have to wait like 20 minutes to log in just because MSIE puts it's huge webcache into the profile. Oh no no...
So, because you experienced roaming profiles with an administrator that didn't know how to configure the clients, it's therefore a bad idea?
Firstly, you can limit the cache size. Secondly, you can change the cache location to move it out of the profile.
Roaming profiles aren't necessarily the solution here - though they could be. If, however, you want users to be able to use any one of a number of machines they can work well. Gigabit networking certainly helps.
Microsoft really needs to add the ability to set user profiles on a different partition, as you can w/ UNIX.
I'm not sure what you mean? It's straightforward, if not trivial, to change the profile location. Two minutes with Google will show you how for your version of Windows.
If sender rewriting works for the university then great - but in most likelihood they need the round the clock support for the mail server, so there's not much cost savings.
If it doesn't work, then the burden is on the recipient, as the SPF rules aren't dictated by the University, but by the originating domain of the sender.
If you're just forwarding mail, you're going to have constant support issues because of SPF causing student's mail to end up in the spam bucket.
You'll need a couple of members of staff to deal with those queries, and all the other queries from people who say someone sent an email but it didn't arrive. Two staff members plus their associated costs will set the university back $100k a piece. If you want to support your forwarding mail server 24x7 that's going to need 4 staff.
Now your small amount of hardware and associated costs sets the school back $0.5 million a year. Does it still seem like such good value?
I was a grad student there, and most of the people I knew hated the Horde webmail interface. I practically never used it, since I've always set up IMAP.
Kids these days. When I was at school, everyone used Pine and we were content.
I'd imagine lots of organisations are using email where their clients only communicate with the mail server using SSL (either via webmail or SSL encryption of standard transports like IMAP and SMTP or MAPI).
Those organisations may well treat their internal email as being secure. I believe there are plenty of hospitals use email to send patient information between DRs and staff. I'd expect they only do so because they consider their internal email to be secure.
If they think losing money to free internet streams is bad, just wait until he hears about this new technology. The music industry doesn't stand a chance.
It's foolish to continue supporting obsolete platforms until the end of time
And as many posts above demonstrate, 10.4 is hardly obsolete, having come installed on new Macs purchased two and a half years ago. The official upgrade cost is around $100. 17% of the cost of a new Mac Mini.
So the operating system is in wide use by people faced with a pretty substantial upgrade cost.
If you want to do anything else mildly processor intensive like watching a HD video, good luck. (Even Intel's Atom processor is essentially an overclocked 486.) If you want to watch a DVD, good luck--your netbook is probably a little too small for that DVD drive!
I'm not sure if you're trolling or not. Ten seconds on Google would show you thousands of folk using Atom chips for HTPC's. The Atom can easily play back DVD content and some 720p content too. We just saw the launch of the iPad which plays 720p content and appears to run an Arm chip.
My own HTPC uses a single core Atom and plays 1080p content perfectly. How does it manage this? Because of hardware accelerated video playback. The video is offloaded to an Nvidia Ion chipset. Even if your netbook didn't come with Ion graphics, you could add a Broadcom Crystal HD Mini PCI-e card for about $25 on ebay and get 1080p playback assuming you have a spare mini pci-e slot.
ARM can do this just as easily as Intel. sure, a low power general purpose cpu will struggle with HD video, but there are plenty of low power graphics chipsets available to manufacturers.
I'm wondering if Apple's ePub books are DRM free? If so then folk do have somewhere to run - they can buy any one of the myriad of other e-ink readers out there.
If they have DRM that resticts users to an iPad, then it's a different story. The 1.5lb iPad with a backlit lcd screen is unlikely to be the reading choice of the masses.
Hmm, perhaps the iPad is said to only display 720p video because that's how big its display is???
And the TV in your living room is how big?
Just because a device has a small screen should not mean it can't be attached to a larger one. Especially something like the iPad which could in theory be a great machine for presentations.
What's the point of storing video on the device if you can't share? Even an iPod from 2005 can be attached to a larger screen. And if you can attach to a larger screen, there's little excuse these days for not supporting 1080p. Unless, that is, you want built in obsolescence to drive upgrades.
I don't use Facebook, Twitter, or any of the other ultra-stupid Web 2.0 time wasters. And these days, the further away I am from my email, the better off I am.
Which part of the summary do you believe I missed?
He wants separate x sessions - both of these solutions are designed for such an instance. Most folk would use them on separate machines but I see no indication they won't work on a local box with multiple X sessions running.
He would prefer a classical window manager. He can run whatever window manager he likes - these apps allow the move of an X application from one X server to another.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xpra xpra or X Persistent Remote Applications is a tool which allows you to run X programs usually on a remote host and then direct their display to your local machine without losing any state. It differs from standard X forwarding in that it allows disconnection and reconnection without disrupting the forwarded application
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmove xmove is a computer program that allows the movement of X Window System applications between different displays and the persistence of X applications across X server restarts[3]. It solves a problem in the design of X, where an X client (an X application) is tied to the X server (X display) it was started on for its lifetime. Also, if the X server is shut down, the client application is forced to stop running.
Have you investigated any of these before 'asking/.'?
I'd fire up a second X session on your machine - you can run multiple instances of X with a single monitor after all, and try moving apps between your sessions. Get that to work and everything should be (mostly) trivial after you get your new monitor.

Sure they will, because corporations would never engage in anti-competitive actions to the detriment of the consumer.

"Snow Leopard is an upgrade for Leopard users and requires a Mac with an Intel processor."
The official cost to upgrade from Tiger is the Mac Box Set at $169.
Just because a different upgrade works, doesn't mean you end up with a legally licensed copy of 10.6.

That way folk are going to be better able to help.

Google did it when the web was a whole lot smaller. When Google started out, broadband was all but unheard of and the web was still in its infancy.

To be fair, it doesn't seem to be Amazon, I think the manufacturer is shipping directly.
My experience is that Amazon's shipping charges are usually very reasonable.
Wow, they want almost $45US for shipping an 11oz tablet to the UK.
USPS airmail from the US to the UK for a 1lb parcel is slightly over $10.
So, it's $30 for the tablet, and $35 for the handling fee. Shame.
