Yeah, that's great. And then everytime a new IMAP or POP connection is established, the server gets to deal with that box, sometimes the entire thing, sometimes just an index depending on your setup; and if you're so unlucky as to be using Outlook, it reads the entire inbox and EVERY IMAP FOLDER, every time you check mail, and next thing you know fifteen "just get out of my way and let me work!" idiots with 2GB mailboxes are basically causing a DOS attack that disrupts the other 15,000 users connected to that machine. Because not only are they causing the server to crank like hell, but they're checking mail every 30 seconds so that it doesn't even have time to finish one connect before starting another, and you get into thrash hell....
And then you get a few more on each of the other 6 or 8 machines, and next thing you know, you have nearly 100,000 people who can't access their mail.
It's brilliant!
Spare me.
To the original poster: If you are using IMAP, then banning Outlook is by far the single most important thing you can do to improve e-mail services. If you can do that, then go ahead and give your users as free of a run as you can afford in disk and tape terms.
Haven't owned a computer of any kind, personally, in years. I just work with 'em, mostly on Solaris. Prefer OS X to Windows, but don't give a tin shit about Apple per se.
So, no, you're full of shit. Thanks for playing, though.
As a friend discovered, Apple's return policy is 14 days AFTER DATE OF SHIPMENT, not DATE OF RECIEPT, despite this being VERY clearly outlined on their store policies page. Her iBook took 7 days to arrive via UPS ground, and 4 days later called Apple to return it. No go. I even found the URL of the webpage on the store.apple.com website which reads "from date of reciept", and they refused to adhere to it. Slimy doesn't begin to cover it.
Even assuming 14 days after shipment, it still would have been eligible. 7 + 4 = 11 14.
You're simply lying. I work in a shop with dozens of these, and have never heard of this happening. Assuming you're not making the whole thing up, there are two options: 1, the unit was dropped or concussed and it was a matter of time before the crack actualized, or 2, it was a defective unit. I would bet the farm that (1) is the case, because unless there were obvious damage the store would've replaced the unit for you.
To summarize: You're a fscking liar. How pathetic.
Socialism is forcing people to do things they don't want to do, capitalism is offering voluntary cooperation or you can go elsewhere.
Unfortunately, you're making those up. What you call capitalism is actually a free market. Capitalism is an entirely separate beast which is predicated upon the (true) supposition that its tenets lead to exteme inequality, which is the utter antithesis of a free market; people can't be free to engage in unencumbered transactions when they do not approach on an approximately equal footing.
Kerry Wood tied the strikeout record BEFORE his surgery, smartass. Nice try, and "way to go" to all you ignorami that modded his ignorance as "informative".
Out-of-the-box solutions are extremely expensive, and will nearly always require you to do months or years of extremely expensive customization.
Also, any solution which claims to use CRLs of any type is radioactive. It's fundamentally broken, in a very obvious way. The intelligent way to handle cert revocation, expiry, etc is by leveraging an existing sitewide directory, be it AD, LDAP, any X.500-based infrastructure, etc. Store x.509 cert objects in directory entries.
If you have people that know the stuff or can figure it out, building your own (either from the ground up or using OpenSSL) is, counterintuitively, likely to be in the long run the cheaper, easier, and more well-implemented option.
This will likely change in a couple years' time, as the Feds finally have a working PKI in production, and will begin requiring remote sites to implement PKI and join bridges/federation/buzzwordbuzzword for grant processing and the like. After twenty years it's about to gain traction, and I'd suspect in about three years you will be able to get an out-of-the-box solution that's useful without spending just as much time on it as you would with a roll-your-own.
That is a very silly sort of comparison, which is endemic on the web these days. You're not comparing the film image to the DSLR image; you're comparing a cheap scanner and a downsampling algorithm to the DSLR image. Yes, an Imacon scanner is cheap, enthusiast-or-small-semi-pro-shop equipment. It's 1/10th or less the cost of a real scanner that would be used for magazine production work, not to mention the trained professional who would do the scanning.
If your end product is going to be only or mainly shown on a computer screen, digital is a great way to go. If you want to enjoy it, for a long time, at good quality, and with the opportunity as technology advances to draw MORE quality out of it, digital is the wrong choice. It is fixed at a given quality and will never get better, whereas you can always have a better print or a better scan made from film, and even more so in the future as technology improves.
"Large-format" scanning backs will likely not replace actual large-format film anytime soon. I'm almost tempted to say "never", or at least "not in the next two or three lifetimes", but people do come up with amazing things.
One of the problems? A scanning back is extremely, god-awfully slow to complete an image. Large format's major use by far is for "static" images such as landscapes, but even these will usually have a bit of motion--waves, trees in the wind, etc. Unless there's something going on that I don't know about (which is certainly always possible), scanning rates have basically plateaued, quite a while ago. There will continue to be some small improvements, but until an entirely new scanning technology comes along it won't get a lot better.
...meanwhile, back in the real world, there isn't a digital sensor around (and won't be for quite a long time) that can take advantage of that theoretical superiority. What you get is absolutely blown-out highlights rendering most high-contrast shots useless, whereas film tends to blow out shadows (to a much lesser degree).
You were right about lab-processed prints fading and color-shifting, but unless you're spending upwards of 15k to 40k on hardware, your "archival paper" and inkjet printing will be even more short-lived.
FYI, Dashboard widgets don't have to stay in the Dashboard. You can have them on the desktop, permanently floating, or open them in a web browser (though why you'd do the last one, I have no idea).
Lie, lie, lie. I dare you to price any ten random systems, Dell and Apple equivalent, and find any more than 1 out of those ten systems where Apple is more expensive. Apple will be more expensive on one, about six will be about the same, and Dell will be more expensive on three. I have priced these things exhaustively for personal systems, and they've been priced exhaustively by my 100,000 user instiution, and you are simply a liar if you claim that Apple is more expensive a majority of the time (much less across the board).
Merchant agreements vary from one merchant to another; smaller companies generally accept a boilerplate, large companies like Target negotiate their own. Unless you've seen Target's agreements with Visa/Mastercard/Discover, you're completely full of shit.
I know you're lying, because Target has a stated corp policy of not checking sigs. They don't want to be responsible for getting duped, so they've entirely washed their hands of it.
Sony has been making LCDs for year, for use in videocameras, digicams, and the like, and they are renowned for horrible quality control. Everytime you buy a product with a sony LCD you're rolling the dice. The problems come and go with individual products at different times, leading most people to suspect that they roll bad batches off the production lines and unlike other REPUTABLE companies don't bother doing any QA, or even responding after the fact when there's been a problem.
Everyone talking about how great Trinitrons are is also a doofus, for the record. The picture quality wasn't any better than other sets at their price point (anyone who says otherwise is either fallen victim to marketing or a liar), and their failure rate was the highest in the industry. The tubes blew more often than Korean discount-store brands like Goldstar, and that is not exaggeration.
If the menu does nothing, that's not what TFM is for. That's what warranties are for. Either something is borked in your install, you fucked around and deleted a library, or you're lying.
So many of you people are fsckin liars. Photoshop uses pixels by default. I've never used anything OTHER than a pixel measurement except when I used to occasionally use it to prepare smallish poster prints.
Dell does not do the same QA that Apple does with the displays, so though some may be from the same manufacturer the consistency is far different. Spend an hour digging around forums and consumer reports for repair records and the like, this becomes rather evident.
Also: the perks on the Dell displays, particularly the USB ports and the like are notoriously faulty. At one ~500-machine Dell installation with which I'm intimately familiar, far less than half of the Dell flat-panel monitors (don't know model #s offhand, unfortunately) have USB ports and media readers which work as advertised. Far less. They're just trash.
That said, I bought a Samsung display rather than an Apple. Lower cost, but far better quality than the Dells.

The iPod has been around for four years as of next week.
The reason you get modded "flame" or "troll" when suggesting that iPods are coasting on a "hype bubble" or some such is because that is a flaming troll. We're well past the point of hype.
Someone above laughably said: "When the iPods first came out they were cool, now they're just a fad." Zuh? No, they were a fad when they came out. That's what a fad is. It's long past a fad at this point. Now it's just plain old "cool" reaching the point of "standard equipment" for a certain (affluent) section of the population.
Seriously. Four years of steadily increasing sales != fad or hype. Exactly, precisely, inimitably the opposite.

Read a bit more carefully. Note:

This means that only one of the elements of the claim has to be found in the program, not all of them, as you stated.

They also own the third-largest (behind Clear Channel and Cumulus) lineup of radio stations in the United States. iPod Radio, anyone?
