My company could do it. We have over 50,000 Notes users. In fact, just corporate headquarters could come out ahead (espically in that last scenario). Oh and we have IBM Mainframes already to boot.

There should be 2 or 3 per flight. One should be in uniform.
Kill all the terrorists on Earth, kill every one who rises to take their place, never stop. No terrorist deserves to live.
Everyone keeps mentioning the bombing of Japan as a completely horrific act and to this day we question whether it should have been done on not.
In the bigger picture, where is Japan today. Through years of hard work, reconciliation, and forgiveness, they are one of our strongest allies.
Will most of the people of the middle east ever give up their hatred of us? Until that happens the chances of peace are slim. Even slimmer now that they are making us hate them back. Until yesterday the Jihad went one way. We may well now start our own Jihad against them (same God different holy war). I want all terrorists walking the planet to die, and all that step up to replace them to die, and so on and so on. I'm not talking about carpet bombing Afganistan I'm talking about creating hundreds, or thousands of elite force units to hunt down and kill terrorist cells and keep killing them. Maybe the people of the middle east will want to talk peace after all their killers are gone.
Gore's foreign relation experience includes looking the other way while BILLIONS of dollars when from the IMF into the pockets of high ranking Russian officials. Not the best record there...
That said if he were President I would support him at this time, but he's not. So Bush deserves the nation's support.
This is the only issue I really disagree with Bush on, but its a huge issue for me. Color me pissed off.
If Microsoft were a person treating other people way they treat other companies, they'd have been in jail years ago.
Their practices are so unethical they reek. To bad common people are so clueless about computers they just follow what their pusher (I mean favorite software company does). It's just like people are addicted to their crappy, non-standards copliant software.
So, pop up a Command Prompt in Windows and they can look puzzled at that too.
I love it when users ask me what I use for ftp. I always respond "ftp". Then I have to explain about the command prompt... Some things do not need a GUI.
Yeah, I particularly love the resume wizard. Nothing like sorting through 20-30 identical resumes when searching for a creative, motivated, unique applicant to a position.
True story, It was unbelivealbe how many people just used the cookie cutter wizard to present themselves for a job.
Its not so much a feature thats not used, but a feature that shouldn't be used.

Please mod this up, it is incredibly insightful.
The Skylarov case make me embarassed to be an American, it represents the exact opposite of everything this country was founded on.
Well I for one am waiting for someone to take up a class action suit against the paper industry. I had some very important papers and a pop spill has completely destroyed them. I find it totally irresponsible of the paper industry to make a product so faulty. I mean just a little pop and the paper is completly ruined.
The negligence of the paper industry is unforgivable. If there are any lawyers out there who really care please file a class action suit out there for all of us who have suffered spills that destroy our paper documents.
Isn't the previous stroy about Sendmail on the IBM mainframe too?

Yep, I went from administering AIX with SMIT to HP-UX with its SAM tools. SMIT was far better, the command logging espically, I'd do something in SMIT, check the commands and start doing it from the command line. With HP-UX, I just figure out the command line stuff myself because SAM is so worthless (espically for setting up disks).
Its not the engineer's job. My guess is the engineers didn't design their hi-fi euipment to play high frequency noise (read high freq. square waves). Square waves are really really bad for hi-fi equipment. That wouldn't be the fault of the engineers.
Hey, that $300 means a hell of a lot more to the EFF than it would to the government.
Oh and there is no "social security fund", all the money goes into one big pile.
The government can have my tax refund back when they learn how to control their obnoxious spending habits. I refuse to listen to anyone who says "tax cuts are risky because we might not have enough money to spend". When that happens to me with my finances, I just spend less.
Point is if the government has your money they will waste it, you are far better at distrubuting it than they are, the politicians don't want you to figure that out.
This is the main reason I like Linux. No stupid licensing restrictions!! I feel it a way underhyped benifit of open source applications. It is an absolute pain to keep track of licenses.
Sombody please mod the above post into oblivion. Do you really think this guy can hire the help on his own? If the CEO doesn't know what he does, do you think he's going to hire more help. Oh and before you go off claiming that the CEO should be show they need more help, maybe the company really can't afford it.
What gets me about this is that Microsoft came out telling everyone there was a patch, so it wasn't their fault. Well its their bug in the first place. Not all admins can spend all day finding all patches for their stuff. There's also the added problem of patches ocassionaly breaking the application they patch. What do you say when that happens, the CEO's not going to care that you "needed" the patch he'll be pissed that the systems are down. The only real solution is better systems from the getgo.

You idiot!! In 1993 they set of a bomb in the parking ramp of the Trade Center. If I remember right, Clinton was President at the time.
I don't want to hear anyone tell me ever again that islam is a peacful religion.
I don't disagree with him on Kyoto, just the Microsoft issue.
No it would have been a suprise when Gore did it. Remember, he visited Redmond during the campaign.
It is not at all unlikely, he would have done this as well.

While this is true. They're running 400 terminals off of one server. The best number I've heard for windows terminals is about 20-50 per server.
With the amount of publicity, you'd think people would start installing Apache.
Let me guess, they'll market this game to Linux fans who only use Windows....
That'll go over well.

Yeah, that way you'd only have to delete the folder instead of deleting multiple separate icons!
That's why I'm looking for another distro. I won't be using Caldera anymore.
Yes, but working, free software has an incredible ROI.
To quote my boss, "This is free, right? And what was the cost of the other solution." The other solution's cost was over $12,000.
And it works like a charm.
