The End User License Agreement states that CALs are required for access or use of the server software and goes on to list usage examples. If I am using the server in a way that is not listed (e.g., as an application server), do I still need CALs?
A. Yes. The list of examples in the End User License Agreement is not exhaustive but is instead meant to illustrate some common uses of the server software. If a device or user is accessing or using the server software, a CAL is required, unless:
access is through the Internet and is unauthenticated, or
access is to a server running Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, or
access or use is by an External User and External Connector licenses are acquired instead of CALs.
See my previous post about authenticating users, as opposed to Anonymous.
Secondly, I said Sql 2005 Workgroup 1 Processor. Please show me a link to a Authorized Reseller of SQL 2005 Standard 1 Processor for $2999. You wouldn't use CAL model for unlimited connections to SQL unless of course you have unlimited CALs. That's why you use the Processor license model.

Actually, I'm speaking specifically about authenticated users that are not part of your domain. This is a common scenario for an e-commerce site, or any site that users can create accounts on. A bulletin board is another example.
In this scenario, you must use an external connector license because those users are not authenticated, and the Web Edition of Windows 2003 does not have an applicable External Connector License.
It's actually much worse than $1500 a box. And I'm a windows guy, I admit it, however licensing for windows products REALLY sucks for a small business that wants to run legit.
Here's the price breakdown for a SINGLE webserver that allows external connections to authenticate (non-domain, say a e-commerce site with user accounts) against a SINGLE SQL 2005 Database. Sql Express is free, however it's not licensed for unlimited users in a production environment.
Web Server (Prices from CDW.com):
1 Copy Windows 2003 R2 (5 CALs): $959.99
1 External Connector License for Windows: $1,969.99
First off, IANAME (Math Expert) but I think your formula is a little flawed.
I'm going to make a couple of assumptions for easy of computations.
#1 Your Corolla won't get 37-40 with 5 people in it, but for sake of argument, I'm going to say 35 even.
#2 When comparing effiency, you need to take into account travel time.
If your car travels for 10 hours at 70 MPH burning fuel at a rate of 35 MPG, you've travelled 700 miles on 20 gallons of gas, or, 4 gallons per passenger.
If you ride a 747 the same distance, 650 MPH for 1.077 hours, on 4031.211 gallons of full, you've travelled 700.05 miles at 6.8 Gallons per passenger.
Right off the bat, your comparison does indeed show your Corolla as more efficient, *HOWEVER*, the Jet moved you nearly 1000% faster at only a 1.7% fuel consumption increase.
By that argument, you could state the 747 is indeed far more efficient than your car.
Heh, you must be new around here. Do you think anyone actually "bought" Netscape? Lol right. This is teh intarweb where everything is free and paying for software is so last century.
I'm sure on the average google is still the fastest (and most accurate). But when people rip on MSN just to rip on them, you'd better back it up more than once.
Search term:
"effect of steroids on major league baseball"
MSN Search:
Web Results 1-10 of 68,035 containing effect of steroids on major league baseball (0.27 seconds)
Google:
Results 1 - 10 of about 76,100 for effect of steroids on major league baseball. (0.33 seconds)
So as you can see, it's not so obvious as you make it seem. However, google is still my home page;)
It's still beta, and yea, it does copy Google, but blanket statements about Microsoft almost never work:
even if MSN could get their speed and accuracy comparable to Google, they will NEVER produce such a clean and simple interface as Google because it just isn't what they do.
Here's what I don't understand. The article states $136 billion dollars of salary (per year) will be moved outside the US in the next 15 years.
Don't these businesses realize that when they stop paying the american people to build their products, that the american people they rely on to BUY their products wont have any money because they pushed all the jobs overseas?
What will McDonalds do when McDonalds are all automated and nobody has any money to eat at McDonalds?
When a company moves all its staff but executive off shore, aren't they removing that much money in the very market they want to compete in, therefore hurting themselves in the end?
Twice it hit the treadmill, twice it was shot back against the wall behind me. It didn't skip at all and it escaped with no marks whatsoever. I doubt most players could handle the same beating.
So it flung back from your feet against the wall, and yet it stayed on your head long enough for you to notice it didn't skip. Obviously you must have a long cable or a rubber neck;)
Me, I'm waiting for *triple*-layer DVDs. Now that'd be something. Yessiree. Yessiree *bob*
I've been using triple and dual-layer read and wipe media for years...
I don't know about the +/- thing, the Charmin package doesn't say which it is...
...and to two HP Proliant DL380 servers with dual-Xeon 2.4GHz processors, 1.5GB of RAM, and twin Ultra-III SCSI hard drives. (One of these servers, attached to a Sony CPD-G520 21" monitor, is Steve Fine's editing machine.)
When you launch windows media player 9 the first time to rip tracks, it asks you if you want to secure them. It doesn't require you to, in fact, I believe the default is to not, but it forces you to acknowledge this.
We need to remember that wma != drm. Just like aac != drm. aac files can have drm, just like wma, but neither format is drm only.
You're assuming an awful lot about the driving ability of the average person out on the roads.
That's being addressed shortly with Honda's new Stupid Asshole Detecting and Ranging or SADAR which disables the car before they even touch it. Coupled with the new Crash Detection system, it stands to eliminate all auto accidents.
I wonder why they're trying to pull out of the DVR market. They say that there's no money in it. Maybe. I thinks that maybe it conflicts with their DRM agenda.
They aren't pulling out of the DVR Market, they're just trying to redefine what a DVR is. Haven't you even heard of WindowsXP Media Center Edition? It does Time Shifting DVR functionality, with much much more. Check here for more info on it.
This is typical of slashdot: "Hey, lets bash on Microsoft for whatever we can"
The MPIO-DMK is a better alternative for people wanting someone small and durable. While I agree having the built in USB port is nice, it also means that you have a removeable piece: the cover. And I guarantee over time and use, you're going to lose, break, bend, or damage the cover to the point of worthlessness, and once you don't have a cover, your USB port is going to get trashed.

God I hate Microsoft licensing. You're right, you can use Web edition of Windows Server. I've been searching this for hours.

Grand Total for a single web and sql box: $7,709.96.And don't forget that you'll need SOME hardware to run that OS. Even barebones boxes with no data protection will run you $500 a box.
So, to start a basic e-commerce site on the legit, you're talking roughly $9,000 for windows and $1,000 for Linux/OSS.

Unless you upgrade from MC 2004 to 2005 (and have previously joined a domain) you can not join a domain with MC 2005.
This is because MC 2005 is cheaper than XP Pro, and MSFT doesn't want corporations abandoning XP Pro sales.
If you liked that short story on caves, I strongly suggest you read "The Descent" by Jeff Long.
