I've tried mostly every windows email client out there, I chose pocomail because of it's abillity to handle multiple email addresses as well as filter all the mailing lists I'm on to seperate folder. It also has a functional email filter, is scriptable and you can skin it. If you are the type of peson that actually reads documentation it will do just about anything. I think it's fairly stable and it's one of 2 programs I have _ever_ purchased. PocoMail.com

So you can't have windows without explorer, so what? If the applications are part of windows just remove GUI access to those applications and let other vendors install their own applications in their places. Done. I personally feel that it would best benefit the technology if Microsoft is forced to give back something (money) to various open source projects. Although deciding the projects/groups could be difficult. I also think it would be nice if Microsoft would discontinue some of their current anti competitive tactics giving OEM vendors the ability to ship computers with other desktop operating systems. I shouldn't have to purchase a copy of windows every time I buy an OEM computer just to format and install something else.
Although the odds are slim of a kidnapped kid actually wearing one of these, but it could work much like the "Lojack" system we use todays in cars. The "locked" watch may look a bit odd but the technology has a great deal of potential. We could even imbed the devices into all us citizens at an early age and give them a unique number to track.. er, nevermind
And I am not going to say that microsoft should make everything they own open source, but I do feel that they should be required to publish the protocol specifications for handling and writing.doc and.xml files, as well as adhere to standards rather then sending packaging data as a winmail.dat file. If they are going to package everything into a proprietary file why not at least use some form of compression?
It doesn't matter if it's 10x better then XP office and only uses 2 Meg of disk space and 300 k RAM, if I can't read the data everyone else is sending me I have no other choice but XP office. To use any non/semi compliant office suite would require my entire company taking the plunge and corporations want solutions that are proven, they are not looking to beta test. I have enough trouble using a non-MS email client because outlook loves to package everything into a winmail.dat file that my or any other standards compliant email application is incapable of handling. Abi word does OK at reading some word files but does not even have an option to save a file as a.doc, therefore rendering any compatibility entirely useless.
This is don't with the Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP ) from his ROUTER. the command to find out if a Cisco router is WCCP enabled do a sh ip int (your int). Yo can look up the specs of the protocol to figure out how to try and bypass it. But you probably won't get ther by using another proxy(tried it), because you will still go through the original proxy configured at the router before going anywhere.

These are *public* news servers, there is nothing OK about super news and the likes being aware that kidie porn is _on_their_own_servers_ and letting it reside.
First off, if they know the actual addresses of child porn sites why are they just blocking access to them and not removing them and attempting to track down the users? Second, I don't think many of them are running DS3 trunks to their houses and hosting the websites on a.com. Many of them such as "candyman" are hosted on yahoo groups and other free more "anonymous" services. Should they block access to all of yahoo groups? Since you can't filter a specific URL with router access lists how are you to implement the filter? The ONLY way to do this would be by making everyone in the entire state connect to the internet through a proxy server with the governments filter set in place. Maybe we should ask China for advice here eh?

THE NEWNESS OF Windows XP -- with its sometimes addled approach to license restrictions, copy protection, and security -- lends itself to confusion. Reader Tom Gleason sent me an example, quoting Web sites that claimed XP needlessly consumes 20 percent of your PC's network bandwidth.
Like a lot of online talk, this is misinformed. Windows 2000 introduced QoS (quality of service) features using an Admission Control Service and the Internet Engineering Task Force's RSVP signaling. XP doesn't support these two protocols but provides its own QoS components. The QoS Packet Scheduler dialog box in XP Professional shows a default "bandwidth limit" of 20 percent. This created a buzz on the Web to the effect that XP artificially withheld one-fifth of your bandwidth, even if its Packet Scheduler was turned off.
Not to worry. There's no restriction unless your network specifically supports XP-style QoS and it's requested by an application, such as a streaming media player. Even then, by default only 20 percent is set aside. (See www.techtv.com/screensavers/windowstips/story/0,24 330,3365585,00.html.)
But it is worth looking into QoS, because some applications can benefit from increasing it or, conversely, terminating it. For example, high-speed Internet access through the DirecTV satellite service will not work unless XP's QoS is disabled. (See www.direcpc.com/xpinstall/install.htm.)
Reader Frank Brown sent me a completely different concern about XP, relating to VNC (Virtual Network Computing), a free remote-access application I described last week (see "Your virtual network," InfoWorld, March 11).
Microsoft's XP license agreement says, "Except as otherwise permitted by the NetMeeting, Remote Assistance, and Remote Desktop features described below, you may not use the Product to permit any Device to use, access, display, or run other executable software residing on the Workstation Computer, nor may you permit any Device to use, access, display, or run the Product or Product's user interface, unless the Device has a separate license for the Product."
That means using any software other than Microsoft's to view an XP desktop from Windows 2000 or any other operating system would violate the company's license agreement, in case you care.
"I use VNC extensively to manage several hundred desktops daily," Brown says. "So for me this is a big deal, and a good reason to stay away from XP until I see significant value added compared to Win 2000. So far I haven't."
I'm interested in hearing any surprising facts you've discovered in your own experience with QoS, XP, or any other Windows technology.

This may not be correct, I searched google for "Firebird database" and tank, and come up null. There is also no mention of the M-1 anywhere on the web site for the database that I could find. There are other systems using the power while the tank is firing that stay online during the event. There are a few more reasons for my disbelief but I could be wrong.
