Sure, we could save our email locally, but then it didn't get backed up, so in the event of a hardware/software problem, the entire email archive could disappear forever.
User error.
You are perfectly capable of backing up your local files. I burn all my important files to a cd once a month or as needed. So can you.
I worked at a Fortune 500 company that decided to limit each employee's email storage to 100MB.
Almost certainly this company used Exchange / Outlook.
It is *trivial* to either manually move Inbox content to local folders, or automate the process.
My guess is that you can do this with non-MS email systems as well.
So, really, 100MB is just a way to make you think about learning to managing your email.
We use Exchange / Outlook where I work, and honestly, the "size" of my Inbox is irrelevant, as if it's something I want to keep, it ends up in a local folder anyway, and the rest of the cruft gets deleted.
How the fuck would you know about anything related to "big projects" from your cum-stained computer in you mom's basement? I suppose you can dream, but really, why not get some help and join / rejoin society and the sun light outdoors? And by the way, you should stop wearing your mom's panties, that's kind of creepy.
Why do you doubt that a 9 year old is capable of a few simple mouse gestures and clicks? I was typing in BASIC programs into my Vic-20 when I was 6, I'm pretty sure kids these days can manage this just fine.
On your "Winnie The Pooh" laptop? Seriously, I'm not trying to say anything that was done was "wrong", I'm saying that the whole story has been sugar coated by bias and is not objective.
Clearly daddy downloaded or tried to download the "copyrighted" content in question, why *HIDE* behind a 9-year old? Stand up like a man and say you did it, and "what about it?"
Having failed in her quest to put enough money in her piggy bank to buy the latest album from local multi-platinum-selling songstress Chisu, in 2011 she turned to the Internet, first via Google and then The Pirate Bay.
So, by herself, the 9-year old installed a torrent application and navigated to Pirate Bay... Yes, sure she did.
Again, why sensationalize the story by pitting the Storm Troopers against a 9-year old, when common sense says that's not what happened?
A pretty sensationalist summary of what can only be charitably described as an article, which itself is long on innuendo but short on actual, you know, "facts".
All that can really be said is that they raided the guys house and among other things took the childâ(TM)s laptop. There is no evidence in this story that the child was the primary suspect or even a suspect at all.
The most that can really be said is the 600 euro fine (and the non-disclosure agreement) is absurd for what the alleged crime is.
If this is on navigational maps, it could be a serious safty issue - not in avoiding it, but if for example a ship in distress navigated to it verses a actual existing piece of land...
I mean, if "freedom of speech" trumps all, there should be no limits at all?
How about.shitonmuhammad?
I realize that these are extream examples, but what is offensive to one large group is not always offensive to Slashdot types, who are rarely offended at anything.
The right way for geeks to celebrate christmas or thanksgiving day is to not celebrate them at all. Geeks are supposed to be smart enough to not believe in imaginary friends in the sky and to not celebrate the biggest genocide in history eating turkey.
As an IT administratator all I can say is your attitude is poor. Why does the average worker need access to facebook and twitter?
As an IT administratator it's your *job* to execute the policy of management, and if that includes Facebook and Twitter access, suck it up and do your job.
Workers seem to foget that a top priority of any IT department is to prevent unauthorised access or leaking of corporate data and not make the end use happy by giving them shinny toy X or Y
Bullshit. First, check your spelling. Second, yes, network security is *PART* of your job. The *OTHER PART* is to jump to the whims of your boss, and if your boss wants Facebook, than thatâ(TM)s your job. Please stop being the stereotypical asshat Prima Donna admin and realize that you work for management and part of your job is customer service.
I know what you're thinking - YES, high school (and Jr. High for that matter) was a bitch for me, what with "Hey PISS this and PISS that..."
All I can say is that it made me a better person with thicker skin. This helped when I joined the military - Recruit PISS, Airman PISS, and finally, Sgt PISS...
But I used the GI Bill to get ahead, and all you asshats can now call me Professor PISS, if you want t decent grade. To my cook and maid and gardener, I'm Mr. PISS.
But my friends just call me Frosty P...
And I *NEVER* misrepresent my bona fides on line. Never.
He's been "experimenting" with these so-called "bath salts" and God knows what else...
Itâ(TM)s no wonder heâ(TM)s paranoid and possibly delusional. Thereâ(TM)s a big difference between weed and these laboratory chemicals, and things like âoebath saltsâ and âoespiceâ.

I made about $600 last year and I'll probably make $300 this year
Except that you really can't actually spend those "bitcoins" on anything other than consumer shit. No food, no gas, just games and toys.
" If you want to succeed, you'll likely have to sell out." I'm fine with that. What are the steps required to sell out? Count me in.
Seriously. I don't live in mom's basement, I've got a mortgage to pay. Where is the line to "sell out"? Are they playing Green Day in the background?
What Nobody Tells You About Being a Game Dev
Unless you follow Slashdot and all the stories about the Game Dev Surfs and the sweatshops they work in... How many times a year? 5 or 6 or 10?
Poor, poor Game Devs... One really hurts for these people working in servitude...

my 6 year old could manage this...
That statement implies you have had sex with a woman , and quite frankly I find that hard to believe.
Live in REALITY, Mr. Anonymous Coward... Your name says it all.
The girl was one that tried to download copyrighted material. She did not know what she was doing was illegal.
Yeah, that's what I would tell the cops, too.
At least I'm not some self-important moron who lives in a fantasy world. Dude, get help.

There's no explicit statement that the downloading occurred on the pooh-bear laptop.
If not on the pooh laptop, than daddy did it, NOT the 9-year old.

I can (and do) throw a party whenever the fuck I want, without endorsing mass delusion.
It's not really what most people call a "party" when it's just you, a tube of lube, and a web-cam.

Mr Murdoch will be able to buy his way out of trouble...
If you mean pay huge fines that are still less than his yearly caviar tab, and then continue on "business as usual", then yes you are correct...
And get raped and killed, great idea.
They live near a church?
If this is on navigational maps, it could be a serious safty issue - not in avoiding it, but if for example a ship in distress navigated to it verses a actual existing piece of land...
So ANYTHING should be allowed?

Fun at parties, are you?
Very nice, but my method involves lasers and high explosives.
