Your problem came from bad programming. When the packet is delivered and an ack has been sent, it's up to the upper layers to do something with the packet. When the ack is sent and the packet is still discarded, the programmer clearly has missed something...
I love my big 19" 2-scsi 2-ide disks noise-producing box (and the other smaller and quieter boxes in my room). It's common knowledge these days: size does matter.
By the way, if you into small, you should change your name.
Okay, you must be mcse, right? Here are the answers to your problems
Invest a little and buy Ximian Red Carpet. It will do anything you asked for in your example, concerning the updates. For the lusers, you create a simple manual (Can Be Done) that explains the main differnces. 90% of the lusers will understand it, and continue working. The 10% that doesn't get it, is the same 10% that never will understand computers. You are using mission-critical applications without any kind of support and no alternatives? You like living dangerously... The dev department should have been aware of the change in advance. In companies, this is required. Then they can plan their work. Nobody needs a root password, if you know what you are doing. Chroot-jail, perhaps? Install it for them? Since they only want a "few apps" it won't be much work. Especially when you use Red Carpet. When you buy equipment like printers, OS-support is an issue. If you invest in the right models from the right manufacturers, you will find that there is support. And with all the money you are saving on software, you now can upgrade the printers to good (and compatible) printers.
Are these phones that have PDA abilities, or are phones becoming PDAs that just happen to have a phone attached?
That's philosophy. What defines the name of such a device? Its main function?. But what's the main function of a mixed device? That's why they invented the word "convergence". The two will merge, and the outcome will be more than the sum of the two apart. So I think we should come up with a new name that will cover the functionality of this new device. Something like Personal Data Communicator?
So adobe has to come round to check if your dongle is correctly inserted. They should also come around to save your work for you. Advice: save your document every 5 minutes. When you do this you will never loose more than 5 minutes of work, even when adobe did not check if the dongle is inserted correctly...
Once upon a time the alpha was on my Wishlist Of Things I Will Never Be Able To Afford. Now that I could afford it, it's no longer there. Another childhood dream gone...
Ofcourse this will leave you with a network full of security holes. Is that excellent? I would never connect a windows network to the 'net without a good firewall running on a trustworthy system. And iTunes is only big fun if your network is connected to the 'net.
Install a Novell Groupwise server. It can run on Novell and windows servers. Lusers can use either the groupwise client, or Outlook. Groupwise is comparable to exchange, but it's far more stable. Pricing might be very competitive. Groupwise doesn't hog the processor, and is relatively low on resources. This means that we have over 500 users on one server (PIII-550, Raid5, 1024 MB). If you need webmail you might need another server.
Novell is currently investing in Open Source and Linux, so methinks that the Linux version is underway.
No mystery this time -- the rotten workmanship of the Quark dongle. It was loose in the serial port, and would lose contact with the app, shutting Quark down.
So Quark makes rotten software because it refuses to work when the dongle is not correctly inserted? Should they come around and check whether you are capable of plugging a dongle? What's the problem here?
I still use W98 on one of my machines. Has been running for over 2 years now. Ofcourse, one has to know what one is doing with windows, but it can be stable.

All the advice comes about 20 years too late! it could have saved me a fortune...
Can you show us facts? They are more interesting than rants, thank you.
No, I call it relatively low on resources when compared to Exchange.

Is it true what you are saying about yet to have a single spam email.
By the way, if you into small, you should change your name.
Or you write some code that transparantly translates the new ENUM into old DNS. The apps won't notice a thing.
So, you are gonna be the first, then ;)

Shall we move the sir haxalot-discussion to his journal? I get the impression that you are trolling somebody who you think is a troll. Hardly useful.

Hey, that's sir_haxalot's job!

cool.

Is this a troll, or a karma-whoring post?
