Given that the guy is asking me to contact Google as a reference, I suspect that he isn't lying.
From http://code.google.com/soc/2008/freebsd/about.html : Relevance to Google : Google has many tens of thousands of FreeBSD-based devices helping to run its production networks (Juniper, Force10, NetApp, etc..), MacOS X laptops, and the occasional FreeBSD network monitoring or test server.
AFAIK, Google uses Force10 switches for the networking infrastructure. Details are confidential though. I learnt this from the Force10 salesguy convinving me to buy their hardware.
It isn't ridiculous to outsource mail hosting. Blocking spam is difficult, and users whine about even single spam messages coming in. It isn't about how much you block, but how much lands in the users inbox.
The big fish also callously do not respond to spam issues for mail coming from smaller providers. It's just more economical to outsource, rather than lose money on mail hosting.
That's because email is really expensive to run. Spam filtering, especially outbound filtering is needed. Then you have all the complaints from people sending to Yahoo! and Hotmail. Especially given the lack of responsiveness from these two. Yahoo! is slightly better than Hotmail, but not by much.
Good public transit deals with the "farther than feet will allow" bit. You can always hire a cab for the occasional time when you need to go far away from public transit.
And wrt the groceries, just ask the shop to home deliver (Walmart won't, but smaller shops servicing a mixed use neighbourhood will). That's the way it works in big cities.

Or they were just finding it near impossible to scale queues up/out in the shipping department.

Part of the job is to ask people to do the right thing.
A theory has something to back it up. Otherwise's it's a hypothesis.
Databases suck as mail backends. However, there's http://www.dbmail.org/ and http://www.archiveopteryx.org/
That close to the metal, with the limited memory space and CPU power? C is probably the highest level language which works.
For most enterprise database products, the remote user is a machine. You are a second class user, puny human.
I personally prefer the psql command line to the GUI crap which is access.
Copying doesn't involve decrypting it. Playing the media does.

PowerDNS works quite well at those scles, FWIW. It's also Free
Think Goatse meets Tubgirl.
The first would be C++ vs Java, with the challenge involving fork and dropping privileges multiple times.
Or you have lots of new users who have never used computers before learning to use Linux.

Each test is supposed to be small, and easily comprehensible. You can have a large collection of tests, but they are all unique.
Your 35 and you haven't lived at all~
He has been with his wife from 1996. He doesn't need window decorations.
The incumbent was government owned/sponsored, and the government forced local loop unbundling in both cases. The US has had neither happen.
Put it in the far future, where things are controlled by thought alone.
Spam isn't about free speech. You want freedom of speech, setup a website and speak there.
Multi process event driven programming, with lightweight message passing.
Don't call a method in the other process, send it data instead.
We understand you are linguistically disabled. Us Indians just read English faster and better :P.
