So what. Just because you run windows doesn't mean you have to use IE. In fact I make my living supporting Windows and Netware and I run IE only when absolutly necessary (mostly to test out problems my clients are having with it). The rest of the time I run Mozilla for both browsing and email.
Nah, in fact I install almost as much non-IBM equipment as I do IBM stuff. Global services doesn't care what the equipment is, the'll take you money just as readily to support Dell kit as IBM. They prefer IBM stuff because it's often easier to beat up on internal suppliers but it's not even a big bias. I had just never seen 100Mbps Token-Ring.
Hmmm, I can not think of a single layout style I couldn't recreate using WordPerfect. Then again I cringe anytime I try to do anything more advanced then a letter in Word, it's layout abilities just SUCK. I know there are compositing things that are much easier to do in Frame then a word processor but I've never sent stuff to a real press, just decent printers and a digital print press with Windows print drivers =)
AFAIK they aren't. But Apple claims to be making no profit off of iTMS at 99 cents per track so Walmart has to either be doing something better on the hosting end of things (very doubtfull), or they have to be extracting cost from either the CC companies or the record companies. Since I am doubtful of even Walmarts ability to extract cost from the record companies that leaves the most logical place being the CC companies.
What I'm amazed at is that Walmart was able to beat enough price out of someone to lower the selling price by 12%. My guess is that the extra is coming out of the credit card companies who were probably told by Walmart that they better lower their charges or Wally World would start issueing their own credit cards that could be used at all Walmart locations, Sam's Clubs, and at the online store. Losing even a couple percent of Walmarts $250 Billion in revenue is enough to scare any corporation. I say this only because I doubt even Walmart could squeeze profit out of the record companies.
The problem is that the maximum bandwidth of Cat5e is 350MHz for cable that actually reaches the spec (many don't, even if labeled as Cat5e). This means that the noise floor for sending 10Gbps has to be so astronomically low as to be unobtainable in many real world situation, not to mention that the bit time will be so small that you won't be able to run at 100m even if the S/N ration is high enough. So we will be back to the situation we were in with the origional GigE over copper spec (1000Base-CX), runs so short that it won't work for many situation and tolerences so tight that many real world implementations fail.
Umm, mail almost never goes through more than two SMTP servers anymore, the sending and recieving servers. And if it is, it must be setup to only recieve mail from authorized mail servers or else it's what's known as an open relay. We have block lists for those =) As far as multiple servers for one IP, all I have to say is quit being a NAT using cheapskate, the Internet is supposed to be end-to-end. NAT is fine for clients but servers need to be uniquely identifiable.

Floppies, the luxury! My first computer had toggles that you used to enter the data, there WAS no storage, my second one used unreliable casette tapes, it wasn't till my first PC that I got floppies. My first computer with a HDD was a PC AT clone with a 5.25" full height 20MB MFM HDD. Now I have a camera with more storage than my fifth computer =) Isn't Moores law and related activities a wonderfull thing.
If NASA managers had realized early on that Columbia had suffered a catastrophic breach in its left wing during launch - either by obtaining satellite imagery or, more likely, by having the astronauts stage an inspection spacewalk - they might have had time to mount a repair spacewalk or even an emergency rescue mission with the shuttle Atlantis, the chairman of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board said today.

Actually we are just about on schedule. The origional predicted failure rate for the Shuttle fleet was 1%. If you discount Challenger (which was a political failure not really mechanical, all of the people who knew anything told them not to launch at such low temperatures) we are right on track, one failure in 107 launches. Lauching a rocket into space isn't anywhere near as pedestrian as driving a car. Besides on a per mile basis I bet the shuttle is more safe than driving =)
Sorry but my ISP, I, and many others disagree with you. We have the right to block email from any source we wish and many have decided that spam is enough of a problem that it justifies this step.
um, we have this cool tool called reverse DNS that allows us to confirm that the machine we are talking to does indeed have a legitimate entry under the DNS name they are purporting to send mail from.
Sure, can do, just right click->properties->security->advanced, select user or group->edit and then deny access to one of the 13 different permissions available. NTFS is VERY granular, in fact I know of no other ACL system that is more advanced. You will also notice the next tab over allows you to audit basically any action taken on the object. Blame MS for the things they do poorly, there are certainly enough of em, not for the ones they get right.
Salvage is ok but Netapp.snapshot directories RULE! If you haven't used em before it's like having nearline storage of everything, and you can setup snapshot points just like backup jobs, but more frequent. As an example we had our Netapps doing hourly snapshots during the day, daily each night, weekly on friday, and monthly on the second sunday of the month. That way going back to a previous version of a file/directory was just a matter of going into the parent directories.snapshot directory and looking for the correct subdirectory based on date. Not only does it have all those cool features but ours used only ~13% of raw storage to do all that on a moderatly changing 3TB array. Backups are still necessary for disaster recovery but we never used it except to make sure it worked, basically everything could be recovered from snapshot.
No, the software handles it, when the portable authenticates to the jukebox software it enables a secured channel, if a file is transfered to the portable player then the origional encryption is stripped and the file is re-encrypted with the key of the portable.
Umm, that's the entire point of adding AAC to the disk, to allow you to move the audio to your portable or PC without ripping the raw DVD-A tracks. I'm sure they will do something similar to the iTMS where you can put the track onto your portable but you can't get it off because it's now encrypted with your players key which is one-way. Of course if you have a player not supported by iTunes I'm not sure how this works.
No, they died. Really, non-backwoods hiking has become a LOT less dangerous than it used to be due to cellphones and GPS. I can guarentee you that the guy in Mexico would have died if my dad hadn't had his cellphone on him, he had lost 2 liters of blood out his scalp in under 15 minutes when my dad came upon him. Getting help to a person seriously injured in the first hour is THE most critical thing for survivability, ask any trauma surgeon, and you aren't going to get that without a cellphone.
I carry GPS to keep me safe when I can't see far enough to use compass and topo maps, I carry a phone to call for help in case of injury (and in fact my father saved a guys life with his, he was hiking on a mountain in Mexico when a climber fell and slid over a half mile down an ice field, his head was very bady injured. He was unable to get through to the cottage at the base directly so he called my dad and she faxed a note to them =), and of course I take my digital camera to capture the moments on my hike. On the other hand my PDA would never go with me, neither would my iPod since it would be dead weight in a day and serves no usefull purpose other than a bit of entertainment.
Another 'PDA' with no battery life. For me the Palm III series will never be beat for PDA usage because it lasts up to six weeks on a set of good rechargables. My IIIxe has enough memory to fit a ton of programs, all of the appointments I could ever hope (dred) having, etc. I have used PocketPC's as portable computers (vertical app for my fathers business) but I would never champion them as a PDA. The need to recharge em every ~8 hours makes them impractical in that role IMHO.
Well considering the number of PC's that I have made with either Opteron or Athlon64's (same chip basically) I don't think Apple was right in any case. Sure AMD's marketing hype might be positioning the Opteron as a 'workstation' chip, and Apple is calling the Dual G5 workstation a 'Personal Computer' but it doesn't negate the fact that there are people using Opteron and kin for personal computer use and there are people who are using the G5 in professional workstation capacaties.
Add to that the extra power usage 93W Thermal Design Power vs 103W and you have a real argument against using the faster CPU. My guess is that most of the tasks tested are bus bound more than CPU bound.

NASA's best disagrees:

That's why I subscribe to a couple RBL's that ban almost exclusivly based on open relays.

What if you lose, or worse yet have your laptop stolen while in country? Does the poor victim get raped again by the system?

They're still wrong, Opteron came out months before the G5.
