Exchange is a proprietary Microsoft implementation of an email server on top of a x.500-like directory/store.
You can "sort of" connect to it with IMAP, but many things don't work (refer back to "proprietary" above).
Anything which was 100% totally and completely Exchange interoperable would almost certainly infringe on trade-secrets and/or patents. Microsoft would then hunt you down and kill you and everyone in your family through to your great-grandchildren.
From what I can understand (amongst all the blurb) this LambdaRail is all about a complete network of (lots-and-lots-of) switched 10Gbps Lambdas (optical wavelengths). So at any point you can dedicate N Lambdas to a particular use and guarantee (at a physical/optical level) bandwidth/latency/QoS.
Specifically, absolutely unconditionally zero impact to any other data transmissions across the network because these transmissions are actually physically (ie optically) seperate and distinct transmissions.
In short, if we could literally segment a 'slice' off the network and isolate it from everything else running around, what would/could we do with it?
Internet2 is a completely different concept.
All the data is transmitted across one network (ie not guaranteed via 'optical separation'; ie 'just like The Internet Today, only much faster') and researching how to route/switch/filter a trillion-zillion packets with minimal latency/guaranteed QoS/additional application-specific functionality and then given those network-abilities researching how to manage that network and what new uses you can apply to that network.With (apparently) the specific intention of eventually, one day, before-the-heat-death-of-the-universe, rolling out said network and enhanced functionality to "the real world/the rest of us humans".
Now that I seroiusly doubt. AFAIK MP3pro is more like MP3+ ie it's a "normal" MP3 file with a handfull of extra encodings (something about handling higher frequencies??). I'm sure I read in some review somewheres when MP3pro format was released "thingy X supports MP3pro, although it simply ignores the 'pro' bits in the file and plays a normal MP3 worth of sound". So, if anyone knows any better please correct my comments, but "MP3pro half the size of MP3 with the same quality"?? Not on your life.
This is what you get for being a sheep and supporting your local (ex)Monopoly. No surprises here, none whatsoever.
Pain for many normal users? Sure! Likely to increase ISPs income? Sure! Actually going to make a *real* difference to professional spammers? Not likely!
Not much more than the usual big company thinking It's not important to solve the problem. It is only important that we convince the public we're working hard to solve the problem. (eg Microsoft and Security)
Then again, perhaps it'll encourage a few % more people to seriously consider their Internet Access choices in Australia, and they'll be better off in the long run.
If it's not entirely obvious (read-my-sig), HELLstra is not my ISP.

Real Security?
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
Anyone remember this? "My voice is my passport. Verify me."
Security is like Oxygen.
Some is better than none.
Too much and things tend to go up in flames.
Enough security that users do their best to ignore/circumvent it is counter productive
Most people forget CryptoGnomes "Golden Rules of Security":
One day, your security will be compromised. More than likely, sooner than you think. Almost certainly in some way you did not (perhaps even could not, reasonably) have expected. What will you do then?
I'm sure you've all heard it said before security is a process, not a goal. The best you can ever hope to do, is make it harder for someone to breach your security than they think it's worth, and to have a plan for when someone comes along who thinks no effort is too much.
Either that or drop all your computers and networks into a large vat of suitably potent acid, and take up a new career; like basket-weaving.
Not to mention enough lateral vectoring to avoid all the objects ~10m off the ground but not in your orbit (ie on-the-ground, part-of-the-ground, or other loonies orbiting @ 10m).
Anyone out there with a slide rule?
What would be the speed required for such a low orbit?
how many of them are signed-up royalty-receiving acts?
show me where this new (proposed) law will guarantee that the appropriate royalties will actually reach the artists? ie quote me references to Penalties and Enforcement against SOCAN?
My guess is that such provisions do not exist and that "generic taxes collected to account for assumed copyright violations" aren't mentioned anywhere in the recording contracts in reference to "schedule of royalty payments to artists".
If the FatCats of the Recording Industry will pocket 100% and continue to screw the artists (ie even more so than currently).
(a) so I'm a law-abiding citizen, I download no music, I make no music available for download - now I have to pay money on a monthly basis for someone else breaking the law?
(b) I download the latest Debian Linux (7 CDs at 640MB each) what's the $ equivalent of Music that said download will cost other people for my download?
(c) So let me get this straight: every recordable CD I buy has a tax to account for illegal music copyright violation, as does every byte downloaded from the internet (by anyone, anywhere in Canada) - I'm effectively paying the equivalent of several CDs per month. So I may as well not bother buying another retail music CD ever, and just download music from the internet (in violation of many and various copyright laws) and burn my own CD-Rs - after all I've already paid for the music.
(d) so you want to tax ISPs for providing the infrastructure which (amongst many and various other things) enables music copyright violations? How about the telephone companies for providing the communications infrastructure which enables the internet? How about the electricity providers who provide the infrastructure for telephone companies to operate? How about mining companies, who mine the mineral resources used to make power cables? How about heavy vehicle manufacturers, who provide the machines to mining companies?
How about Oil exploration companies, who provide the fuels for the vechiles used in Mining, which provide the minerals to the power companies which provide power to the telephone companies who provide communications to the ISPs who provide services to people... *some but by no means all* of whom are illegally violating music copyrights?
Realistically though, you need to directly bill GOD (Allah, Yaweh, Jehova, insert-name-of-your-favorite-being-who-created-the -entirety-of-existence-here; because in the end, when you look at things closely enough, if (he/she/it) hadn't set about *creating* anything in the first place we wouldn't have the situation we have today (ie there wouldn't be people illegally downloading music from the internet in violation of many and various copyright laws).
Seriously folks! Yes, profits are down
Yes, people are violating copyright left-right-and-center
No, billing Grandma AolUser (who is only just barely Internet-aware enough to be able to email her grandson once a month) for the illegal activities of other people Just Isn't Right. Nor does it solve the problem.
Billing an anyone anywhere for copyright voilations by sundry persons-unknown does address the symptoms (ie flagging music profits).
However, it does not address the problem (ie people are breaking the law, these days much of your music sucks, the world has turned and making money off physical distribution mechanisms is in many areas and aspects a declining prospect, life implies/requires change - don't change and you'll die).
If China decides to go into space the way they went to sea in the 1400's
Yeah, and it's all *real interesting* until a handfull of freak circumstances back home torch off their rampant superstitions and they mothball their entire oceangoing discovery/trade missions and before you know it Columbus "discovers" America.
Hopefully they've learnt from their mistakes. It's not enough to boldly go where no man has gone before if the moment you return your entire civilization shuts down its borders and forgets the entire thing ever happenned.
Heh! Word! It's not as if these things you call "accounts" actually cost any money, nor do they take anything more than a trivial amount of time to create.
