Well they're wrong if they're telling you not to update the firmware, or to reset it to the first version. I'm using a phone in Australia with 1.1.1 firmware and it works with no problems. Have a look at jailbreakme.com.
I believe even the latest 1.1.2 firware has been hacked but I haven't looked at updating my phone.
Apple's Mail client uses a single file per message so there's no problem there. Microsoft's Entourage 2004 uses a single database for all messages but I believe 2008 is moving to a single message per file which will support Spotlight indexing as well.

Thanks for the tip. I was using English(UK) and as soon as I changed it to English(US), the IMAP option showed up.
Yeah, nice call...except that within about two weeks, Apple's operating system will include virtual desktops. I guess that will leave Windows as the dino with the unerring instinct for the odd choice?
As a full-time RHEL administrator, I must admit that up2date really does suck. The good news is that Red Hat has moved to yum for RHEL5 so you can use any third-party repositories just by adding them to/etc/yum.repos.d/.
You know that CentOS is a completely free version of Red Hat, don't you? There's no subscription or any other charge involved and you get all the updates that Red Hat packages, normally only a day or so later than Red Hat releases them.
As of version 5, Red Hat has (thankfully) dropped up2date and replaced it with Yum. I think even Red Hat themselves hated up2date.
As for why people use up2date - speaking for myself, because it's the only was to use the Red Hat Network (RHN) for pre-RHEL5 systems. We have a local RHN proxy server which connects via VPN from Australia to our RHN satellite server in Germany and allows us to test all patches before rolling them out for worldwide release. You can't get that kind of "enterprise" management from Debian/Ubuntu - most businesses may not need it, but the large financial institution I work at certainly does and is happy to pay for it.
No, because the flights are not advertised as "may or may not leave on time" at their current pricing. For another completely arbitrary example to go with yours - I would pay half the amount for a flight that wasn't guaranteed to leave on time.
There was a crew from MIT (IIRC) that got around this for quite some time by having the card counter and the high roller be seperate people. The card counter would always bet the same small amount but would subtly signal the 'high roller' to come and play at the table when the odds were favorable.
They got away with hundreds of thousands of dollars before they were caught and banned. I think there's a book out about it.
Yes, it's called "Bringing down the house" by Ben Mezrich. It's definitely an entertaining read but it doesn't explain much about basic strategy or card counting - you'll need a different book to learn about that.
While basic strategy can reduce the house advantage, it's only card counting that can give the player an advantage over the house. That's because a high count (greater than average number of high cards) gives the player an advantage due to an increased likelihood of the player being dealt a good hand and the dealer going bust. When the count is high, the player bets less and when the count is low, they best less.
Yes, the dealer has to play a fixed strategy (that's why more high cards make him/her more likely to bust) but the player must play first. Therefore any player bust loses no matter whether the dealer later busts or not.
One thing that no-one seems to have mentioned is Red Hat's new licensing model for Xen-based RHEL installations.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform allows you to run an unlimited number of guest RHEL instances without buying any more licenses. That's right, whereas previously you would have had to pay $799/$1299 pa for the host and every guest, now you are entitled to run as many RHEL guests as you like, just for a single $799/$1299 pa cost. (more info)
Assuming you run ten RHEL guest instances per server, that means a saving of $7990/$12990 pa per server.
Not to mention that XEN itself doesn't cost anything extra, unlike VMWare. Having said that, VMWare ESX is certainly in a different class to XEN and has a much better support for enterprise environments. But XEN's improving and this licensing change will show large license cost savings for migrating to XEN.
Microsoft is supporting XP thru at least 2014. Microsoft supports their OSes longer than does any other OS vendor. Red Hat isn't even supporting the distro they released 3 years ago.
Are you just making shit up? Red Hat released 2.1 during the first half of 2002 and will support it until 2009. Just over seven years of support there.
I don't know about you, but we had problems with our Windows desktops (not to mention Macs) when the Victorian government changed the length of daylight savings for the Commonwealth Games. Regularly sheduled daylight savings aren't a problem, but arbitrary changes to the schedule are.
A mortgage should always be cheaper than renting: why would you possibly think your landlord's mortgage was higher than your rent?
Are you serious??? A mortgage is always higher than the rent on an equivalent property, otherwise people would keep buying and pushing up prices until this wasn't the case. Why would anybody rent if they could buy the place and pay off a mortgage at a lower cost than renting it?
When has the US ever tried to prevent flag burning. That would be very dangerous ground -- flag burning, although repugnant, is inherently an essential form of protected political speech, and MUST be permitted -- but I must have missed that news item, because I was not aware of its having happened. Can you cite an example?
Trying to prevent flag burning has been a fairly popular pastime of many US politicians. The latest attempt in June 2006 failed to pass the Senate by only one vote. Wikipedia has much more...
It's actually really easy to install Linux on a MacBook Pro. Use Bootcamp to partition your drive, and then when it next boots up, just install Linux instead of Windows. Fedora Core 6 worked without any problems for me.
I know (think) this was a joke, but believe it or not, the Notes 6.5 client runs perfectly under Wine on FC5. At least as perfectly as it does on Windows, anyway. It still sucks big time, but if I'm forced to use Notes, at least I'm not forced to use Windows as well.
RedHat EL was unfortunately priced outside of our budget (we're in academia), yet some scientific software vendors only *offically* support the Redhat series.
Either you didn't stumble across Red Hat's academic pricing, or your budget is really small. I work at an Australian University and we pay US$50 per year for each RHEL AS license.
While I also use CentOS on some servers, it's more for Yum (non-RHN) and licensing convenience than price.

You're right that you still can't use it as a modem though.

Database file, yes. Mail file, that depends.

Toast may be crappy in other ways, but it certainly does have the option to span disks. That's the main reason why I use it.
On my Macbook Pro (2.33Ghz Core 2 Duo), Handbrake will rip a 100 minute movie to 1000kbps MP4 with 2-pass encoding in about one hour.

Another idea is to make election day a national holiday, like it is in *every* country except the US.
Election days aren't national holidays here in Australia, but they are held on Saturdays instead of weekdays.
Wouldn't that be a simpler solution?
No, you're wrong. We have W2k3 running inside a Xen-enabled FC5 kernel. Try the instructions at http://www.xensource.com/files/xen_install_windows .pdf.
That's one of the major reasons why VT hardware support is so exciting.
Oh and I have to use Selinux even to just use group based acl's?
Ahm, no. You just need to specify your partition as an ACL partition. That has nothing to do with SELinux but nice try.
