Gee, maybe you could like add an 's' to the end or something.
Seriously, a domain name doesn't make millions, a GOOD business plan does. If you have a good business plan, and a good product/service, people you won't need some special name to visit you and spend their money. The fact that your desired domain name isn't even running should be a bonus - no competition. Get off your duff and go for it. It's working for me.
Remeber, the Media has told us it could take weeks, even months before the full effect of the 'Millennium Bug' is known. We should hold onto John's words until around June.
The 'significance' is that instead of waiting until about 2004 like he first said, we could see it now in a few months. For the large number of Star Wars fans out there, this is significant.
A decent Email program (hmm.. kMail is usable, but not great) A decent Office suite (kOffice coming soon)
What more is really needed? Well for one you have to either have App duplication or 100% integration that doesn't cost money. You can't use put up a mail server and go against the corporate model. We use GroupWise 5.2 accross the department. We'd need a GroupWise Linux client or we'd be stepping on people's fingers and that's a no-no. We use SAP. Fortunately SAP has this just about coverd but we have other big business apps that are Win32 based. We're trying to move to web based corporate apps but certainly not in 6 months. Maybe WINE or something similiar will help. That's to be determined though.
As someone who is attempting to get management's approval to switch our groups PC's to Linux, this is something I've already come up against.
In a business environment you have to get the work done first and not be toying around hot fixing programs. We also can't wait year after year for features to catch up be they hardware or software.
As a server, Linux still has many places to sit, but on a corporate desktop, I'm sorry to say it's just not ready.
A good thing coming out of this article would be to have several of these independants form up and focus on ONE browser and get it working 100%.
When this tax was first mentioned, prices of CDRs skyrockted within days. Where I bought, a single blank CDR use to cost about $1.50. The price then jumped to about $6. First of all, the tax was to be placed at the manufacturing level so any CDRs currently in distrubtion didn't have the tax on it. Why the hell did the price go up then? It has taken many months for CDRs to come back down to around $2 in a pack of 10. Now I guess, the price is going to jump again even before the tax.
This reminds me of the oil prices. Whenever crude oil goes up the price at the pump instantly goes up. But when the price of crude drops the price at the pump stays up because the gas companies say they have to clear out the oil in the supply channel first. Think about that for a moment.
I can remember back in the early 80s in one of my first computer classes (using Apple ][s) there were 2 people for each computer. I sat with my partner who took the seat in front of the computer. The screen was blank so he looked down at the keyboard and typed: TURN TV ON I fell out of my chair laughing so hard.
First, I would try and stay away from Exchange as much as possible. Management might force the issue due to other political reasons you might not be aware of. If that's the case just try and do the best you can. Exchange _can_ work, if you are very very diligent but my experience has been their mail store bugs can wreck major havok. It will cost a lot, take a lot of PC's and be slow but it will work.
If management is looking for a "legitimate" companys product, I would suggest GroupWise 5.5 over Exchange. By picking this you'll need NetWare/NDS at least for the central server (so this might not fly if you're a 'NT shop') and for administration. There is a Solaris server version. Also clients for AIX, HP and Solaris. GroupWise supports LDAP, IMAP4, and POP3. It also includes a Java- and HTML 3.2-enabled version of GroupWise WebAccess.
Tell them they don't have to. I mean Pepsi paid like 2 billion for the merchandise rights. Billions more came from other company rights to merchandise.
Even if the movie makes $800 million it will still gross more money in 10 months then Titanic ever will.
I think the problem most people have with the Star Wars movies is that they haven't "grown up" along with the viewing public of the original. I doubt many 10 year olds thought TPM sucked.
Empire Strikes Back was a more mature movie but George hard a turn of heart shortly afterward and contiune the saga back at the 'kid' level. He basically wants to make movies his kids would enjoy. (I read that in some article)
Very much like the Indiana Jones flicks. #2 shocked a few people. #3 returned to good fun.

Got this before the movie came out.
The TOP 10 Things We Want To Hear Samuel L. Jackson, "Jedi Master Mace Windu," say in Star Wars Episode 1:
10. You don't need to see my goddamn identification, 'cause these ain't the motherfuckin' droids you're looking for.
9. Womp rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'll never know, cause even if it did I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker.
8. This is your father's lightsaber. When you absolutely, positively, have to kill every motherfuckin' Stormtrooper in the room... accept no substitutes.
7. If Obi-wan ain't home then I don't know what the fuck we're gonna do. I ain't got no other connections on Tattooine.
6. Feel the Force, motherfucker.
5. What ain't no planet I've ever heard of! Do they speak Bocce on What?
4. You sendin' the Fett? Shit, Hutt, that's all you had to say!
3. Yeah Chewie Rocky Horror's got a hair problem. What the brother gonna do? He's a wookie.
2. Does Jabba the Hutt look like a bitch?
1. Hand me my lightsaber... it's the one that says, "Bad Mother Fucker."
I don't have any problems with @home in Ottawa. I've been using it since last September. I think the service has been down 5 times for a max of 1 hour each time.
Speed is way faster (~60-90KB/s on the net)than any dialup (~ 4KB/s) and the cost is less than double a typical ISP here for unlimted use. Speeds are faster off peak.
As for their mail server, it does certainly seem to be down lots. However, I don't use it anyway. Get a web mail account such as Hotmail and forget about it.
They are also allowing the purchase of up to 3 more IP address for $9 each a month.
Just put a screen saver on

Nothing like going to a client site to 'fix' their poor performance only to find them the running 3D pipes on their server.
Volia! 100% CPU utilization. Moving the mouse really fast (last time I tried) also would put the CPU to 100% effectively locking everyone out.
>It's an absolute fire hose of spam. At least one message per day.
If you think one message a day is a 'fire hose'. You should see my hotmail account! I haven't posted the address in 2 years and I just broke my record recently when I received 20 spam emails in one day.
I seem to recall when crack.com folded Dave updated his.plan file with a statement to the fact that he was about announce his next project. It was going to revolutionize the world/internet and be prepared to be wowed.
The world/internet still seems the same to me. Was he talking out of his ass or did he mean he was going to work for Transmeta? If it was, just what the heck are they up to?
ps. I could have this statement mixed up with other.plan monkey but I think it was D. Taylor's.
This reminds me. Anyone know if bsd or linux is available for the Apple eMate? Is it even possible? I saw one of them for sale but didn't follow up to see if it has an installable OS.
It would be pretty funky carrying that around and running my web server from it.
What, a mouse is too hard to use? People don't build their own VCR's they just want to use them. The same goes with computers and their applications.
I think writing a decent UI shows more ability than typing at a command promp circa 1981. Having the power of linux controlled from a consistant and easy to use frontend would be decent.

Sony is a very diverse and mind-boggling-sized company. It's a little sensational to say its future is based solely on the sucess of a game console.

I think was the limit on a Windows 95 machine. There is (was?) an internal counter that rolled over after 47.5 days causing the machine to lock.
May of been fixed by now.
I had a netware 3.11 server that ran for over 2 years. One day I had to go in to check something out due to a massive power outage in the building.
When I got there I realized I had forgotten the password!
(A co-worker was able to give me some possible hints and I finally got it)
Chewbacca's dad's name is ITCHY. He puts on a virtual reality helmet and watches a jefferson starship video.
Thank you _so_ for reminding me. I may never sleep again.

Sounds like an old series called Quark. Anyone remember that one?

Yep, urban legend. Heard that one a few times myself.

Agreed. Gartner group 'reports' at utter trash. They are only used as ammo in your aid for winning over the boss to your ideas :-)

Other than Quake III are they any 'new' or coming soon games for Linux? The ability to play a game I played 3 years ago isn't all the facinating.
I think writing a decent UI shows more ability than typing at a command promp circa 1981. Having the power of linux controlled from a consistant and easy to use frontend would be decent.
