I've said it before, so I'll say it again. If you don't want your information out in the open for the world to see, DON'T FUCKING PUT IT ON THE INTERNET!
I run a small private server on my DSL with outside users, IMAP, and POP3 on a Debian box with Postfix as my MTA of choice. The default for Postfix is to have a soft 50MB limitation for the mailbox - that is, it's 50 MB, but if an attachment comes in that breaks the quota, it doesn't bounce, it just causes further inbound mail to bounce. This can, of course, be altered
I'll also point out that using Exchange for your MTA is a bad idea for the databasing issues - a postfix mail spool, by default, is a flat ASCII file stored (at least, in Linux) somewhere in/var - usually/var/spool/mail or/var/mail. Backups are trivial if you have to, and users are encouraged to POP their mail down rather than IMAP.
Interesting comment that Unix isn't ready, but if the Unix-like OSes like Linux can be operated from the distro by half-blind 12:00 flashers, then yes, they're ready.
On the other hand, just remember that even Windows is too hard for others.
Just my $.02.
We can't trust anybody with our "secrets" - so the obvious solution is to not actually put our "secrets" out there for everybody to know. There are reasons that there is a directory called "public_html" on many a web server.
Channel 103.1 (KACD/KBCD) tried that in 2000 or 2001. I hate to say, but it didn't do well - the domain name (worldclassrock.com) is now broadcasting a stream from KBCO.
I said it before in another post last week. Google is not getting this for free, they are paying somebody. Ultimately, somebody is getting money for the use of the pipes.
If Verizon wants to fuck around like this, then somebody is going to have to pull the common carrier act on the telcos again.
The content providers are not using the network for free.
In order to get into the network, they must pay their ISP, who pays fees to the telco in the area. It all kind of circulates through the system.
In short, this guy is so full of shit I can smell it on him from here in southern California.
I'll tell you what, there's more to life than GTA anyway, and he has a point about the extreme cases - though one is left with the impression that he tends to generalize toward the extreme.
In any case, the quote above in the blurb isn't exactly what I'd call a cheap shot. There is indeed more to life than GTA and cathode rays. Let's all go out into the big room occasionally, 'k?
The nature of the internet won't allow it. Plain and simple.
Rather, I see the FCC keeping things as is, and continuing to regulate the telcos, who have the infrastructure that we use for the internet in place already. The telcos as they exist will fade - not out, just back - and they will simply maintain the basic infrastructure, and for those who continue to prefer traditional landline (which probably won't fade for about 20 years), will continue to provide services.
Instead of the anti-terrorism potential, they should be marketing it a little simpler - users can create their own profiles and install their own applications without disturbing other sessions.
On second thought, that's not really useful on Windows, is it?
Have to say I liked Rhapsody when I had the free trial with Speakeasy a couple of years ago, and don't like that it's not available on Linux.
So then, it was launched on Monday, and presumably that means "today", 05Dec2005. So where do I go to use this? Why have Real not updated the Rhapsody site?
Here in southern California, popular displays include the decorated trees in San Marino, a particular mansion owned by an ice cream mogul in Pasadena, the Griffith Park display that is set up with various displays by the City of Los Angeles governments, and - my personal favorite - the homeowners of Naples Canals in Long Beach, who do up rather spectacular displays. One in particular involves a miniature roller coaster, and has been up since sometime in the 1980s.
OK, so they're not innovative, but they're pretty decent.

Understandable, but only if you call 911 from a cellphone.

01Apr is still a month and a half out, you insensitive clod!

You know, while I think Mr. Thompson's foibles are somewhat interesting, we do understand that he is a complete fscking nutter, right?

No worries, crap happens. =^^=
Jack? Is that you, trolling on Slashdot?
This is a little somethign that'll also piss off Jack Thompson. Good show, guys.

No problem using Sarge and firefox-1.0.4-2. Downgrade perhaps?
Under Debiab, RealPlayer is available on the Marillat archives, and works quite well.
Never mind, I found it. Click here and play.

And frankly, she'll need divine help, in my opinion. This is, after all, one single mother versus a multi-million dollar corporation.
Speakeasy's VOIP service not only has 911, but it goes directly to my local police department, with complete information. Why can't Vonage do this?!
