I'd say, that 99 per cent of company networks are not filtering outgoing traffic. This is one of the biggest problems. If they would start to block outgoing traffic from their clients and only allow connections to servers in the DMZ (mail, proxy, whatever), we would have a lot less SPAM. "Why?" you ask? Because almost every spambot sends out spam mails with its own SMTP engine and even if the spambot would use the configured local SMTP server, it would be easier to figure out that something is going on.
It was impossible to totally close the open relay in version 5.08 I think it was. I had an on-going argument with the orbs blacklist on this, begging them to cut me some slack as users on my network could not route email to certain servers running the blacklist. The issue was finally resolved by taking away lotes as the public mail gateway.
I experienced the same problem and I think it wasn't version 5.08 only, but furthermore, the SMTP engine had the problem to omit the "HELO" string when sending out mails. A lot of mail servers are configured to require the HELO string. I had to put a postfix in front of the notes/domino machine. That was the beginning of a transition to a postfix-only mail infrastructure.
It is hard, _not_ to believe in a conspiracy, if we don't get to see all frames from every video recording. We know, that there are recordings from the nearby hotel and the gas station. Even if there is nothing interesting on it, they should be released to the public.
No, seriously. Am I the only one who thinks that the screenshots are rather unimpressive? I clicked through every single shot and read the description of the features. I can't find anything special.
Once, my girlfriend was sitting in front of her computer, fiddling with a bank statement, because she received an email from "our bank", stating that she should go to their online banking service. Allegedly, she should check a payment. To do so, she had to enter the account number and the PIN.
Fortunately, I saw her and could prevent her to click the submit button. I told her, that there is no bank in the world, asking customers to go online and enter those data. She'll never do that again.
Since this incident, I realized the phishing problem.
The user doesn't care about the neat things they can get from/proc/dev and the likes. Hide these.
Already hidden.
Coming from Windows all of my libraries are in windows\system32 or in the directory of the actual application. Linux could put them in/lib,/usr/lib,/usr/local/lib,/usr/share/lib/, etc, and my application is almost certainly not going to have its own directory.
That's the reason, why we have a package management.
Permissions... In windows, if I want to give someone permissions, all I have to do is right click, go to the Permissions tab and add a user, tweak their access. In Linux, it suffers from the Owner/Group paradigm. I shouldn't have to change the user account (add a group to it) to access files.
You obviously don't know anything about email, do you? Thunderbird and Outlook are just mail clients. The mail routing, mail storage and so on is done by mail servers. You can have the best mail client in the world, but if some administrator misconfigured his mail server, you can't do anything about that.
I was working as an IT Manager for years and you won't believe me, how often users came to me and asked me what happened to the email they sent around the world or they were expecting a reply to a mail and haven't received it. 99 per cent of the time I had to explain that the world doesn't consist of only our own mail servers.
Most of the time the "problem" was the user. Misspelled mail addresses and ignoring the error notification and so on.

I _want_ people to read my postings and email.
Post your email account information. Server, username, password.

There are still problems with the footage from the CCTV camera at the parking lot of the pentagon. How many frames are really missing?

It is kind of stupid to link to a digg entry, but I'll do it anyways:
PS3 to come with full Linux
You can find the screenshots here.

Germany.
This is not a joke. The german "CIA" did exactly the same. It came out just a few days ago.

True.

Finally she asked us, "Do I need Linux?" and both of us realized that neither of us wanted to be Linux admins for her so we said no.
She wasn't that ugly, was she?

Already there. It is integrated in KDE 3.5 and also available as a KDE add-on.
Look at his comment history. He is actually a pretty funny guy, who doesn't take hisself too seriously.
That's why there is digg.
How do you want to block a top level domain? At the end, you'll find out that those sites will be accessed via the IP address.
By the way: here is the MPAA sniffing dog for P2P networks.
And with 32, you need an additional bit.
Huray!!!
How about Macrokernel?
I guess you're right: the event.
Maybe prostatitis or kidney stones?
