Indeed - the jabber way is, of course, the right way to do instant messaging. Just educate everyone that jabber is completely open, anyone can join in and theres no "big brother" watching over everything you do, able to force you to use particular clients, force ads down your throat, and disable your accounts inadvertantly (or not).
I've installed several jabber servers, some with maintained rosters for corporate use only (all staff have all other staff in their roster automatically). Its neat, its free, its XMPP!
XMPP has mileage. All google need to do is create a jabber server of their own - so you get to have a google JID.
If enough people log on to it then jabber/XMPP might just go mainstream.
As far as google making money out of this - it doesnt take a genius to present plain text adword-style messages to you during a conversation via their servers.
Of course anyone can create a jabber server and plonk it on the internet for its users to chat to anyone else - thats why jabber is the right way to IM - theres no vendor tie in - but google offering JIDs to the masses has the potential to make jabber big.
I was thinking about honours the other day - before the government raised their desire to rename them all.
I was thinking that the orignal Bell Labs guys should be nominated - after all where would we all be today if it wasn't for Ritchie, Thompson, Korn etc... ?
We all are truly standing on the shoulders of giants.
I thought I was the only person that used php for scripting too. I've got a landline call rating system that runs superbly written entirely in php.
It started out as a prototype but worked so well and fast that it stayed.
They are - but not to all the caching name servers that have local cached information. DNS records have a time to live that tells other nameservers how long to hold on before requerying.
Verisign clearly didnt update their name servers more than twice a day - they didnt load new changes as and when - just did a bulk load instead.
Bind allows updates without downing the name server using nsupdate - perhaps they've figured out how to use it.
I am very impressed with Firefox - so much so that its been rolled out on all PCs here just this week. The plugin technology in use by Firefox seems quite good also - hopefully this standard will build on was appears to be a good platform.
Someone is going to have to explain this TCO thing to me - pretend I am thick or something.
I've got 6 servers at work all running linux. I spend virtually no time adminning them (I run debian stable). My mail server has never missed a beat - adding users takes about 5 seconds (qmail-popadmin user@adomain.com {password} - this auto creates new domains also etc..) My PDC is Samba (one day I will migrate all our desktops to Linux) - it works flawlessly. My firewall, dns and VPN servers just do their thing (old desktop hardware)
These systems cost me nothing in software costs.
I also have (unfortunately) an Exchange 2003 server (due to RIM tying in to Notes and Exchange only) The O/S and Exchange software for this cost 2000 approx. Adding a user is a PITA and, when I hit another threshold, I have to buy more licences. Exchange has to be the most convoluted peice of software I have ever met. I spend more time doing admin on this machine than all of my others put together and still cannot do the simplest of things.
So, why or how does linux have a higher TCO ?
Am I missing paying an ease-of-use tax or something ? I just don't get it - someone enlighten me please.
People running Unixware now have already spent the money - the licence isn't a yearly renewal - you buy it and you're done.
The only money to be made from Unixware is new user licences (that hardly anyone will buy into anymore - charging per user is not palletable today) and new installations.
Wasn't XML last century's buzz word ?
The old saying that "when the only tool you have is a hammer - everything looks like a nail" seems totally appropriate.
So if someone asks me what AXA is and I don't give the information that AXA want will I also be facing a suit ?
We best all keep our mouths shut in the AXA inspired future.
You should be routing your email via your ISP's SMTP relay and not delivering it directly yourself. At first this sounds like it sucks - but doing things this way is the first step to eliminating SPAM (and unfortunately allowing ISPs to be in complete control)
Exodus is fine now - i've installed it across the board in several companies.
We generate the rosters automatically also so everyone see everyone else always - departmentalised.
Scan the email as it leaves your network as well as when it comes in ?
Make sure that your SMTP server is the only machine allowed outgoing connections to any/0:25 also.
All of this mails are routed via someone's outgoing SMTP server - be it a ISP's server or their own. Stop it before it gets out.
If you use WAP or the network's proxy then recording this wouldn't be too much of a problem. If you use, say, GPRS with no proxy then your phone is just another machine on the internet - accessing sites directly (albeit through the network's gateway obviously - though disecting the traffic on this to record HTTP GETs would be rather intensive and most likely easily worked around by hosting web servers on non-standard ports).
However, remember that most kids are on pay-as-you-go. You don't sign a contract, you don't get a bill.

I use ASSP - its a transparent SMTP proxy that does RBLs, Bayesian, attachment scanning and most recently virus scanning (using clamav dbs).
Its simple to setup and works great.

Hmm then again looks like we (.eu) will be in the same farce soon.

Time to upgrade your computer Sir! Wang haven't been making machines now for donkey's years.
So, deisgned for women means make it look like a handbag - surely then they will sell thousands.
What next ? Shoe shaped power tools ?
Server X is misconfigured - its allowing unlimited connections - please correct this.

Yes, jabber is the nads. Its how instant messaging should be done.
Congrats
