  1. Try outlook web access... on Linux Desktop Email Key to Success · · Score: 0

    it's HAPPENING
    (I bought my own Small Business Server box for home)
    I have webmail, and webcalendars, and contacts, and remote desktop, all from one HTTPS login... anywhere I can run an IE browser. and it syncs files, email, and scheduling with my PDA, home PC, and work PC, near flawlessly- just some features I want seem to be missing)

    Without IE, but a browser- I still have it all except remote desktop- just not as pretty.

    Consider.. for a 600$ software purchase, I have
    email. file sharing. calendars. shared contacts. remote desktop. web serving. internal webserving. security tools. all with the same interface, readily supported and easily understood.

    whats my ROI if I have to supply each of those with OSS which includes research, support, interoperability, down time, configuration- on each application with it's own UI?

    my life is rather simple with SBS.. and when I'm stuck, answers are readily had.

    cons- time consuming- ruins the surface for study by combining asteroids with lunar material-ya gotta do it all or it'll just spread around.

    2- ultrasonically vibrate any surface (suits, domes, locks on the surface) exposed to the regolith at a really high frequency, so that it doesn't stick (ever put dust on a paper and make patterns? by shaking the paper?)

    3- does regolith have any sort of charge? can you spray a suit with negative ions/ apply a battery to the metal to repel material? run a current through the metal to change the degree of attraction?

    we should harness gravity thusly.
