If you take a look at Joker (www.joker.com) then they have a much nicer system, which sorts it by email. If you have the right permissions on your account (email address) then you can update, transfer, redirect and more without a single letterhead.
Joker refuse point blank to transfer domains unless they have received a request to allow transfers (a 12 day window IIRC), which can only be done by someone that logs onto their site and has appropriate permissions. Additionally, if tech contact isn't the same as the owner (and etc.) then Joker need authorisation to open a transfer window from more than one person on the WHOIS.
Building a PC is much the same as building a house. You get the components, you put them together, you wire it up and you make sure it works.
You would be stupid to try make your own bricks, mortar, insulating foam, cabling, piping, joists, roofing, nails, switches, paint, sealant, glass, coping etc that all goes into a house, much as you would be stupid to try make every component that goes into a PC. Other people do that bit for you, you just assemble (build) the finished product.
The OSS community can agree on some real interoperability standards. Not using 17 different 'standards' to do the same thing, 4 of which only work with a specific library installed and 8 of which refuse to contemplate talking to the other 9.
That is why MS and a lot of proprietary stuff is winning. It just works. If you plug something in, it works. If you install something, it works. If you need to add a new machine to your LAN then you stick a piece of CAT5 in the back and mysteriously don't need to change a set of config files (which is kept in a different folder to where you'd expect, and changes for every distro).
Unless you're arrested under the wonderfully American, Liberal and Not Bad In Any Way PATRIOT act. Then you can be detained indefinately without charge.
I doubt source will be released since it uses Microsoft Pocket PC.

It's not my mailserver which does the filtering. It should only be the terminating server which does any form of filtering, ergo the one on the corporate network.

It's also a lot easier to get caught lying without statistics. With statistics I can prove I'm not lying.

Surely as long as the mailserver can see internal DNS the domain would still resolve though?
In therapy trying to understand that the Space Shuttle does not in actual fact handle like a crossbreed between the Millenium Falcon and a New Mini (damn are those things sweet handlers)
You mean like my Active Directory testing bed, where all that needs to be done is I plug power and network into a clean PC and then network boot it and leave it to install? Give it 30 minutes and I can Remote Desktop and fine-tune be it server or desktop.
Your point about not on by default is valid though, but I'd still prefer it to pcAnywhere.
Of course, if it *was* turned on by default of *course* it should be turned off because it's *clearly* a security risk, unlike the super-secure out of the box linux systems

Beta = should work for anything you need it to, but if it falls over or does something strange then tell us coz it's probably a bug we haven't fixed yet.

No - an intelligence should not be treated as living any more than living should be treated as intelligence.
The reason lifeforms are not machines is mostly due to the fact we rely on chemical reactions, and down at a basic level it's all electromagnetical (ions used to transfer stuff through cell membranes and the like). Mechanical has to treat each object with a fixed, non-changing set of properties whereas biology pretty much makes it up as it goes along.
Also, where do you draw the line between 'this is intelligent' and 'this is just coming up with stock answers'. I've seen AI which was very, very good. Keeping track of the conversation, making sense, remembering and learning. I think the reason people can't make perfect AI is because they are trying to make it perfect - knowing how it should respond to everything just isn't natural.
No, not remotely true. Since e-mail is clear-text, there is NO privacy. E-mail is just like post-cards.
However, it is currently stored only on Yahoo's servers, in a theoretically secure manner. Just because emails were sent to me in plaintext over the internet does not mean that you have a right to come into my house and look through my inbox. The only existing copy on the internet is in my mailbox and possibly the mailbox of the sender, nowhere else. I would assume, therefore, that the content is private, encrypted or not.
Personally I'm glad it was Windows. Anything configured with that level of infrastructure design skill would have melted, at least the wizards provided some form of basic configuration.
Most master keys are well protected, at least for major companies. For example, Microsoft's driver signing keys are kept on one drive, with no network access, in a locked room, behind biometric security, in the middle of a secure site. The backup key is kept in similar conditions, just on the other side of the country.
No, that's how it used to be. If a day was defined as a true astronomical measurement we would have no need for leap years. As it is, there are 86,400 SI seconds in a day.

Knowing Apple, the iPod Shuffle will deal gracefully with audiobooks *providing they are in an audiobook format*.
Alternatively you just use iTunes to send over the playlist in order and select the 'Play In Order' mode as opposed to 'Shuffle' mode.
Simple!
