If they were using Exchange, actually probably any email system, it's just a matter of changing the global quota settings...A 5 second job.
Aren't they still using Solaris in the background there (the legacy cgi scripts are a dead giveaway of something fishy).
But, you've got to have the extra storage in place to handle the new demand...They're probably adding drives to the SAN...
But surely the demand won't be instantaneous (how much inbound emails do they have to reject because of account limits? Or how quickly will their users be able to get 250MB of email into their accounts?). Besides, knowing Hotmail's data integrity record, they're probably just waiting on the IDE controller cards.
On another note, can someone enlighten me as to why they are upgrading the accounts so slowly? Shouldn't it be a quick and easy scripted task (unless they're editing the records one at a time)?
It's easy to pick up an old Apple Newton from somewhere like eBay.
I've got an MP2000 myself and it's great for taking notes with it's handwriting recognition. If you need something a bit more than a basic "Notes" program, then there's software like Newton Works and external keyboards for them (I have both).
As long as you have a serial port (or a usb to serial adapter) you can sync it up and transfer documents and packages across. Or if you have a Mac, you can sync over TCP/IP.

Yeah, one has a Titanium case and the other has an Aluminum case.
No. The iBook has a semi-transparent, plastic (possibly acrylic) case. The PowerBook comes in two varieties - the older titanium and the newer Aluminium. The iBook was never made in metal (except for it's Magnesium frame).
Now you're just being an ass...
You get the same respect from me that you give to me. If you don't earn any respect, then you get none. Simple?
You are a fucking little tiny speck.

You didn't even read Apple's iBook return program, did you? It covers specific model numbers. It does not cover a computer by how old it is. Just because a computer has been owned for less than 2 years, does not mean it is a computer that was made less than 2 year ago
I did and I am very aware of that fact. However, the majority of iBooks made since late-2002 are amongst the model numbers covered by the replacement program.
And as I said before (a lot of repeating myself with you) it is a Titanium laptop, not the new Aluminum laptop (which is in the model number range in Apple's return program)
Are you talking about a PowerBook or an iBook? There is a slight difference!
Also, to be redundant, a person working in QA needs to be one of those people that Big Screaming Bugs are obvious to.
You obviously don't program for a living, or at least, don't do it very well.
Wow... I just looked at that Doom bloopers page and I've never seen such a lame idea. Seriously, who's going to play it? Could you be a little more derivative? Are you watching lots of sitcoms to get really good ideas?
Prediction: this project will die a sad, lonely and neglected death on Sourceforge. If people play Doom3 mods they will play the genuinely fun ones.
I am fucking sick of people using their sigs to advertise their stock scams, their pyramid schemes and any other pathetic hobby horse they want to show off.
I always though that slashdot was fairly quick with it's links to the latest news/releases. But Xcode 1.5 was released days ago and that Blizzard story is over a week old!
Are you sure you want to be considering cygwin for a production environment? Microsoft has their Services for Unix (SFU) at version 3.5 and is now free for download. I'd say that in a mission-critical environment, SFU is much more rock solid and production-tested than cygwin.
(And if you're going to bash it just because it bears a Microsoft name, just remember that technically it's only sold by Microsoft and developed by someone else).

That's only the newer iBook (Al) There are many people with Ti Books less than 2 years old with the same logic board problem, but it costs $1000 to fix
If they're iBooks and are less than 2 years old then they should be covered by the program
And more to the point of your response, I don't think it's my job to be Apple's QA department. If someone working for me in QA couldn't catch this obvious ERROR they'd be replaced.
I'm not saying that you should be their QA department, but remember that what's obvious to one person, may not be to another (no matter what it is).

I haven't had many problems that Apple haven't been willing to fix (if it's a recognised fault, eg. the iBook logic board failures). But the reliabiliy of their overall systems probably rates higher than most PC manufacturers.
That said, the best way to contact them about any sort of issues is their BugReporter. Their feedback pages and emailing them don't seem to do much more than to add your idea to the chain of others. If you know how to submit a good bug report, it's the only way to go.
I had the same problem with my Nokia 7650 when Panther originally came out.
You can hack around in the SymbianConduit and iSync configuration files for a bit to trick iSync into thinking it's really a phone that it can sync with. I did that for my 7650 and it worked fine. However, I'm not sure what changes have been made to the SymbianOS since then.
Ya, I don't get it either, like why don't apple release the iNewton2 or something....
I remember Steve Jobs saying at a conference somewhere recently (non-Apple) that they had tossed around the idea of doing anther PDA-like device, but had dumped it.
Basically it's about Apple constantly overstating the performance of their products. All existing Apple products underperform. If this were Microsoft people would be calling for lawsuits. Both MS and Apple promise more than they deliver. But Apple is the underdog, so that's ok for them?
No. It's not OK, they just have a better marketing dept. and reliance on Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion Field.

I'm not too sure where it's avalible anymore, you can try some of the NCU* files at apple's old mirror site. Or take a look around at UNNA.org.

Assuming they're tagging the .tgz and not actually modifying the files inside, wouldn't something like this -
../something.tgz && tar -cf ../something-fixed.tgz *
tar -zxf
Fir this 'protection'?

It's 22.9MB for me too, that's because we only need the 10.3.4-10.3.5 updater. Not the whole Combo.
How did you write them? If you didn't use the BugReporter, chances are that their engineers will never see it.

Why wait?
With a large enough noise generator (power-wise) and antenna, you could cover a nice big area - who needs to say it's legal. (see this)
Also, this device these kids are touting is nothing new. A google search will reveal various circuits schematics for cell phone detectors.
