I suspect a lot of shops make significant hardware upgrades when they upgrade their Windows servers. How they justify these never ending costs, I am not sure.
Unless all you need to do is purchase a phone and call T-Mobile up to enable this feature it isn't free. It may be at no additional cost, but it isn't free.
If people thing this is a useful service, split it off, or ask someone like Spamhaus to do it,and add it some more checks and balances.
Better yet, release the code to the web service, and allow any sysadmin to host the server side portion themselves, of course with the ability to update from a central list, and accept 0% - 100% of a given list as they see fit.
What's going to be interesting is how they stop these people in "real life". They defintely aren't going to talk them down. Or do they think that batons, tazers and guns are non violent when the wielder has a badge?
They better start hiring support personnel, because there will likely be profits to be had with service contracts. Maybe even a Redhat buyout/partnership
Over the last few months, I've been forced to use Exchange/Outlook a lot, and for the life of me I don't get the big deal. But I know that people consider it a big deal, so I wish this company the best, and fair
At that point, people distributing Ubuntu to friends need to specifically say that it costs $90. Unless they believe that said friend doesn't want streaming media or dvd playback.
The Ubuntu lovers will espouse the greatness of this move, and the lack of any other options. Hardcore FOSS advocates will note that this will slow adoption of open codecs, which happen to be the cure for this situation. I personally don't care either way, since I don't use Ubuntu, and don't really accept the concept of illegal software. What I am curious about is what is the profit margin here. How much can an entity stand to make selling this kind of software to people.
When I lose a domain I paid for because Register.com sent emails to the wrong email address, and sells my domain to a spammer, no one cared. My complaint to ICANN was dismissed. I see no reason why this valid domain should be removed from this non spammer.
Selective law abiding, sweet. I personally believe in not obeying illogical laws. But I don't think that the average Texan follows that sentiment. So they should at least follow their own laws.

Its kinda like how bomb squads blow suspicious devices up to check if they are explosives.
I would need proof of this.
Well aside from the fact that that isn't the documentation being referred to, MSDN is not the best documentation ever.
That would be, ironically, very American of them if that is what they did.
Well then they have even less of a case. As I understand it, they don't want people using their trademarked name in the hyperlink text.

I read that as "EA Patches Spore, Erases DRM"
Was kinda hoping that it was a desktop app. But I guess it's up to Thunderbird and KOffice/Kmail to get up to speed now.
Mod parent up. May have found yet another use for Linux.

This is good for Ubuntu. I'm not sure how it is good for anyone else however. But I may be blinded her.

Reminds me of the last Eureka episode.

Thanks for the clarification.
Moderation in everything you do. I believe these words of wisdom are mentioned in the Psalms as well.
Saying that we can't prove that OBL attacked the WTC does not mean that Dick Cheney did.
True. However, if Dick Cheney wasn't involved, he must go to bed every night saying thanks to those who did do it.
