What happens when it's an extremely important client and they're getting messages "sorry, your address has been rejected from sending mail to this system"?
You can bet that any client or potential client will take note if you complain to them about spam coming from their mail server. If they refuse to take action, making a case for "breach of contract" won't be too difficult.
Besides, if they're really that clueless, how bad do you want to do business with them? Do you really want someone that hazardous to others' ISP health on your customer list?
How about putting them on an RBL? When their customers can't send emails, and threaten lawsuits for breach of contract, the ISP operators tend to start paying attention.
You are assuming they're running XP or 2000/NT, and as a non-admin user. How many Windows users are still on 9x or ME?
The first Internet worm was long before 32-bit Windows hit the scene. For BillG and co. to release an OS touted as "Where do you want to go today?", while ignoring even basic privileges, was negligent at least, and criminal at worst.
Go ahead and whine about how much better traditional Unix privileges could be. It's still better than nothing, which is what most Windows desktops have.
I'll grant I know zero about your particular situation, so everything I say requires a cubic foot of salt. But a couple things passed through my mind as I read your post.
This kind of long-term depression can often be hormone-related. I'm not sure about causality, but have you looked into dietary modification?
The other think I thought: Have you considered taking in a roommate? Someone with so many memories and so much family history could be very enriching for you personally.
Laura Didio is a financial reporter who unquestioningly parrots everything SCO feeds her. Outside the SCO-controlled circles, she's known as "Laura Didiot."
Buy some Google stock, and you might find it easier to find these out.
However, the question "how many servers?" changes from week to week, usually from day to day. They are constantly replacing and adding CPU's, to the point that they have a standing order for N systems per week, for some quantity of N. The only way an answer to "how many servers?" can be valid, is to include a time/date predicate: "Well, this past Sunday afternoon, they had 107,499, until the earthquake took out a couple hundred units."

For an even foxier pic, go to the library and find the Jan. 10, 2005 issue of "Fortune". She has a picture on the front cover, in which she barely peeks over the address label area, but that's not the picture I'm referring to. The picture you want is on page 45, in the upper right corner. Let's just say I think it's a rare woman who looks so damn cute in a turtleneck.
Well, as your sibling post pointed out, the Oklo reactor and other naturally-occurring reactors were going to the super-heavy elements. But it was my understanding (no longer) that super-novae were required to produce anything heavier than nickel, and could produce anything up to uranium.
Solution: pre-allocate memory for page tables and program text/data, similarly to Apache's worker-thread model. Make it tunable: how much memory to keep wired-until-needed, how many page tables to pre-allocate, idle time required before new pre-allocations, etc.
Then watch how fast Apache, Oracle, and X launch.
I know, I'm not an OS designer. This is only gleaned from what I've read around the 'net. But if someone decides to try to implement this, I do ask that I be given credit.
Except that this guy admits it was a hoax, when he was called on it.
The puppet government in place in AD ~30 took steps to make sure the Apostles wouldn't perpetrate a hoax, including the (standard) death penalty for soldiers who abandon their guard posts. Whole lotta good it did, huh?

CScope, originally developed at AT&T Labs, now under the GPL and available at SourceForge. It works amazingly well on the Linux kernel. I've even tinkered around in the XFree86 code using CScope.
(Also comes with vim integration, if you're into that.)

What do we have to do to persuade networks...?

Your aim seems to be off a bit. Better check the sights.

Oh, that's right, Windows' nearly non-existent privilege system!

As I said, BFG of salt.

There's a lot of chemical energy stored in organic material
Right you are, Agent Smith.
No food, no light, no oxygen, no electricity?
Maybe "voma" is a pseudonym for Laura Didio.
The digicam I had was crappy. It's now 2,000+ miles away.
Take a look at http://www.bartnagel.com/portraits/mayer.html . It beats out the Fortune pic by a mile.
That beats out the Fortune pic by a mile. Thanks!
Anyone for a Marissa Mayer Fan Club?
Would that I did have a scanner. It'd be up and available right away. But alas...

Isn't that the very definition of science?
Don't settle the suit. Drag it on forever.

Plutonium was invented, not discovered. Uranium is the heaviest naturally-occurring element.
Feel free to nit-pick back.
How about "no titles sold at Wal-Mart"?

Between the Mayan calendar, the Unix epoch, and now this, I don't see how any of us will make it to 2040 alive.

Maybe someone should charge her parents with contributing to the corruption of a minor by allowing her to go there unsupervised.
But this isn't one of them.
People laughed at me when Bluetooth was first announced. I said I didn't want my cell phone or PDA being frisked by other units as I walked around.
I still refuse to carry any Bluetooth equipment. Who's laughing now?
And, more importantly, how long until a crooked cop uses such a vulnerability to plant evidence on your PDA?
