Well, the business could mandate that the graphics folks run Windows, or outsource those folks (unless their business is graphics). Photoshop runs on Windows. They could also provide two systems to users, as is common with people who need to use Unix for real work. No office, and Apple moves out of the workplace.
But with Dell putting Linux on its desktops and laptops, _corporate_ interest will be triggered. They is where the big money at one shot market is, and that drives retail.
Linux on the corporate desktop != Linux on the home user desktop !- Linux on the gaming desktop.
Greylisting works, until a few really large organisations do it. If $WORK were to start greylisting, spammers would start retrying in a couple of days.
I wish we could just block on non FQDN HELOs, but the support requests coming from exchange administrator weenies are just too high.
Wait, they already do. Spammers today control far more computing resources than most of us (unless you work for the NSA or similar).
Hook up a system which deliver mild shocks to a spammer, give it an email interface and have a shock delivered every time a message is received at that address. That will work.
OS9 causes my stress. The Accounting Dept. says I can't change it either.
Perhaps you need a few... accidents. May I recommend this tutorial for starters? The next time they piss you off, bring the server and the CEOs desktop down. Then spend the next couple of days restoring the desktop. Remember, things dont work because the CEO is having problems otherwise.
Nah, it was always 72. However, there is some doubt on the "virgin" part of it. According to some scholars, the original text says raisins and not virgins. According to another translator, the Quran says that there will be 72 black eyed slaves with exceptionally white irises and nothing about virgins. However, you can have sex with anyone you like in heaven.
(It doesn't say anything about whether the other party consents though).
The GP was claiming that MS was damned if it did, and damned if it didn't. My point is that if MS were to remove the integration, they wouldn't be damned for doing the right thing.
If they were optional components not in the core of the OS, it wouldn't matter. I can install Linux without a browser and a GUI. Why can Ms not do the same with IE? Remove the dependency from IE from everything else, and we won't care.
Thin clients don't make sense for small businesses/home users. They make sense for larger businesses, because the cost of administration comes down.
I don't see thin clients replacing laptops as much as replacing desktops. The lack of moving parts, and complex operating systems is the real bonus. Thin clients work very well in the Unix and mainframe paradigms. They do not work as well in the windows world.
You are paying a real cost for the spam. The wasted CPU cycles, the disk space, the time spent in admining the system, the network bandwidth, the load on the servers providing you with virus definitions and SA rulesets....
What really will help is port 25 blocks on consumer grade connectivity. Then you filter outbound email with SA/other filtering systems. The port 25 block is not a cure, it just forces mail to go to a chokepoint where competent admins can presumably control it.
Vamana is the 5th avatar of Vishnu (Matsya - the fish, kurma -- the turtle, varaha -- the boar, narsimha -- the half man, half lion beast, vamana -- the dwarf, Parshuram, Ram, Krishna and the Buddha.
For most end users, KDE is polished. Particularly if you don't sell it as a Windows replacement (that would have to do everything windows does, only better).
Sell it as a non PC appliance which allows you to email, use an office suite, browse the web..... The keyword is appliance. It doesn't do everything a PC does. It isn't supposed to.
The fun part might be if it runs OOo and people start sending out.odf files instead of.doc.
If this is just a Linux box (possibly a thin client), the Os has been online for years. Here you go. You see, you don't need to "leak" a copy of GPLed software .
Slashdot Mirror
Not Windows. *BSD and Linux.
I know of one. And no, I won't tell you where. I would rather keep that piece of information in my monopolistic clutches.

Accepted. That does not invalidate my point (which was to show that merely looking at percentage growth is not useful).

But over the last two years, Apple is growing at a faster rate.
Apple share two years ago: 100
Apple share today: 200
Growth rate: 50% a year.
Dell share two years ago: 10000
Dell share today: 10500
Growth rate: 5%
Think about that.

You should have considered PostgreSQL as well. Next time, please do.
s/Artists/Sales critters/ and your viewpoint should change.

Join the club. Abuse and postmaster mailboxes are hell for spam too.
Which DNSBLs are you using? And what header and body checks?
because if you can see them, you won't know if they are actually working.

the work will go where the labour is. And _that_ is even cheaper.
Perhaps this consultant needs to open an Indian office.
