Sounds like somebody's trying to make the world's largest spam list. Should go something like this:
1) Work your population into a lather of fear.
2) Get a grand jury to let the cops find out who you email.
3) Profit!!!
Seems to me, that there is a country already doing something like this. Only they block the content. It's China. What's the difference? Not enough to argue about. Not sure how they think they can use it on emails, since all it'd take is some lite encryption to stop em. Another waste of money and time, while monitoring net-citizens that shouldn't be.
When's the revolution going to happen? Cause at this rate, that's what going to have to happen to get back freedom.
Career path's IMHO are the responsiblilty of the Human Resources department (AKA People Development). IT shoudl worry about nothing more than where the company needs to be as far as technology goes, and about keeping the current solutions in place running. Why should the IT manager have to worry about where his employee's are going to end up in five years? That's HR's headache.
If there was no IT department, how the hell would the company run? Buy support from outside companies? I think not, since on average (at least here) support companys charge about $95 a hour and 90% of the techs the send out don't know jack. I have lost count how many times i have had to fix stuff "again" after they leave, simply because they are too lazy to figure out the whole problem, or they don't know how to run/admin/whatever our systems. Since we created our IT department spending has been reduced alot, service and security both have gone up. Also the amount of down time our employee's suffer has droped dramatically.
Then again, i live/work in a fairly small city, so our local support companies don't have much to choose from for employee's since most people that know what they are talking about ether work for a company in the IT department, or move their ass to a better place:-)
I would use qmail, with courier and vpopmail running over top of it. For the web mail check out http://www.horde.org/. It's got some really great features.
That being the case, I don't see why you couldn't use biodiesel or methanol/ethanol to fuel a jet engine. There might be issues with the power curve for some models, but that likely just means changing the design parameters for future aircraft.,
Correct me if i am wrong, but doesn't biodiesel gel up at low temps? Kinda like normal diesel, but worse. So i doubt that they could run the ~new~ concorde safly at the alitudes that they need to be at on biodiesel.
I also use BitDefener, on our servers and my desktop. Not that linux really needs it to begin with. But you can never be to carful. BitDefender is great software.
Gun ownership is illegal.
where the hell have you been living? Under a rock? i live in canada and i own 5 guns, and i don't have to go to jail. We just have to register our guns with the government. I agree it has wasted lots of our tax dollars, but before you speak, make sure you know what your talking about.
Yeah, i admit that the gun laws up here are kinda stupid. But if your gun got stolen, and you report it, atleast when somebody uses it they know that your gun was stolen and you don't have to go to jail for no reason. And registering my guns wasn't that bad. Atleast there are less people killed in canada by guns than in the US. For that i am thankful. In Canada you don't need to lock your doors in most mid sized cities, or go around wondering if that guy walking behind you is going to rob you or shoot you.
All in all, i support the Liberials and what they have done for canada, all though i am still pissed about the sponsorship scandle.
[QUOTE] Is there any room up in Canukistan? [/QUOTE]
yeah, lots. Canada's population depends on imagrants (yes it's spelled wrong) to keep it's population numbers from going stale. Plus we have free health care, which isn't the best in the world, but it does give the working class and people with little money a chance to get the care that they need. Not like in the US where only the rich live above 80.
Yeah for sure i have. I currently have the option of buying in to the company. We get a dividen every year around feb. We also have a RSP program through the company that works very well. However the employee ownership is still the best thing. Since 1996 with an investment of $2000 i now have a account worth over $50,000. Not bad for a 21 year old.
For sure they're going to have to have some kind of nuclear power. That's about the only tech that humans have that can be made small enough and still produce enough power. Hmmm, unless they can make a coal boiler smaller and more powerful...heh j/k
We changed our whole company over to ThunderBird and FireFox, mainly because of Bill's position when it comes to security. Saying that it's the consumers fault that they get infected with crap is such a dodge of responsiblity. Just think what would happen if more companies (Microsoft needs to the most) started practising ethical businesss and became responsible for they're actions. The universe would explode.
I don't know, i've always found updats just to be easy on slack. Not sure if there's a "update tool" persay, but there's always lost of howtos out there;-)
It's it just me, or is the windows update site one of the only Active X Powered sites out there. I havn't ever been on a site that is powered by active x other than microsoft's crap. Or am i wrong? Can sombody post some links to "other" active x powered sites? Just my two bits.

I have have a blackberry, that my company gave me. We didn't have to install any servers. Runs off our current email server, which is a qmail server.

That's odd, i already run mission critical apps on linux! In fact, we only have one windows server, and it's getting phased out next month.
I would use qmail, with courier and vpopmail running over top of it. For the web mail check out http://www.horde.org/. It's got some really great features.
For spam and virus check out a barracuda unit, simply amazing. http://www.barracudanetworks.com/ns/?L=en

If you change the 3 in the url it gives you different styles. Like change it to 1 or a 2 and you'll see what i mean.
Still, they could have come up with something a little better than this.
From the Thread.
This is why God invented the tag.
Finally a good reason to use it!
Right.....and i am the pope.
When will people learn that security by ignorance doesn't work anymore....then again it never really did.
I also use BitDefener, on our servers and my desktop. Not that linux really needs it to begin with. But you can never be to carful. BitDefender is great software.
Can you see it? There's going to be viruses that just target that av software and nothing else. I wouldn't use that stuff with a ten foot pole.

Slackware is really similar to BSD....is't almost uncanny.
