SpaceX just recently signed a lease agreement with the Air Force to construct a landing pad for just that purpose. If you have a chance to read through the whole proposal, it's quite interesting. They are using an old launch complex that hasn't been used in 30+ years.

Everything was orderly and calm at the polling place in our hometown. I was in and out of the polling place in 10 minutes.
I'm curious to know how many places are using computerized voting machines in the country? MN still uses Scantron machines; it's hard to screw up, and cheap to operate.
BB is essential for cwhoreporate systems, because NO OTHER PHONE ON THE MARKET ANYWHERE matches its functionality... they can issue you a phone, then enforce strong passwords, content filtering, disable cameras so you don't end up sending pictures of your Christmas party indiscretion to your whole team, etc etc.
In Exchange 2007 you have the same functionality for policy enforcement; disabling cameras, strong passwords, managing applications, and blocking web browsing. Granted this is on a device that fully licenses ActiveSync technology.
It's going to be a synergenic revitalization of the optimum dynastic capitalization for interconnected dynamics in the convergent subsidiaries of virtual datacenter alligories.
Actually, you have the issue backwards. Your selection of MS-Exchange as a messaging platform has limited the financially viable choices available to your firm to basically, Windows Mobile. Don't blame your vendor lock in on anyone other than your messaging vendor and the person who decided to buy MS-Exchange. You didn't HAVE TO do it.
I agree with you. However my predecessor chose and implemented Exchange. It's not financially viable to forklift Exchange at this time since it is already paid for.
If I was looking at a fresh install of a groupware product right now, I would be looking at the open source products.
The OS is still missing native MS Exchange support. Our company currently utilizes T-Mobile as a wireless provider and this is the single biggest hangup from us deploying the G1 handsets.
I do realize that there are 3rd party apps that provide this functionality, but that gets expensive when you roll out 100+ devices.
Gmail by default only uses https for your login, not actually reading/sending mail. To get a full session via https you need to login to this URL: https://mail.google.com/ Note: https://gmail.com/ will NOT encrypt the session further than the login screen (see for yourself, look for the https connection).
Having said all of that: Email is not an encrypted protocol by default! The method above is a good method for preventing sniffing on the last hop between you and Gmail (which is why I use it when I'm on an unsecured wifi connection to prevent easy eavesdropping). However, once the mail server sends the message on the open network... it is 100% cleartext. If you want real encryption, get PGP, this advice was true long before Slashdot got its panties in a bind over ISP's 'snooping' on your traffic.
Oh and one more thing: I love the Slashdot doublethink: Having a large evil corporation (the ISP) possibly being able to sniff traffic to read some of my emails is a terrible invasion of my privacy!! Simultaneously: Having a large non-evil (because they said so) corporation (Google) actually store all my emails (much easier to get at them then trying to wire-sniff) and index them and use them to generate ads: SUPER!
Not all SMTP traffic today is plain text, with the STARTTLS command, some mail servers will allow mail transfers to happen with SSL/TLS encryption. Our company does that with other organizations for HIPPA reasons. Granted not every mail server supports that, but it makes it a heck of a lot easier to implement encryption without having to mess with PGP at the client level.
I think I'm going to register iMail as a trademark,. . . and then sue Apple when they launch their new iPhone/iMac/iBook/iPod/iNausea email service!;-) This might work if Ipswitch had not already beat you to the punch. The "IMail" product out for some time. I only know about it because I supported it for a couple of years. http://www.ipswitch.com/products/imail/index.asp
Apple could get around it if they used a lower case "I" I suppose, maybe not?
Ubuntu on servers is a bad, bad idea. It'd be like running your hardware on Debian Sid all of the time with neither thought nor care as to the consequences.
I tend to agree with most of your statement. I wouldn't run Feisty on a server, but I would/do run Dapper 6.06 LTS, it's been in the market over a year. I've been running it on a couple production servers for 6 months now, haven't had a single issue with it.
At least Ubuntu server doesn't install X by default either, I'm looking at you SuSE and Red Hat.
Well Charter in particular has been blocking DNS ports to anything but their DNS servers for a long time.
So running your own resolver on a Charter line probably will basically mean no DNS.
This might be the case in certain areas, but in my neck of the woods, I'm able to use DNS servers other than standard Charter DNS resolvers just fine.
Didn't he tell Cablevision in TFA that he wanted to get away from a monopolistic operation? Isn't Verizon just another monopolistic company that wants to lock you in?
Correct, they would be pissed off if I had 1 DNS server that did everything for everyone. I believe there is an RFC somewhere that reccommends splitting up the DNS servers that are public facing and internal facing. I run 3 internal DNS servers for our users, and 2 public facing for the internet. No unnecessary load on any of the DNS servers, and the firewall rules are alot easier to manage that way. The key IMHO is to treat the public zones and internal zones as 2 seperate entities. Seems to work okay for us, and no complaints from users on either end of the spectrum.
It's not that difficult to make BIND9 not respond to recursive queries, add "recursion no;" to the "options {};" section of the named.conf file, reload the config and your good to go.

Must be good business for the local paper company.
That, and Scantron is headquartered in MN: http://www.scantron.com/company/locations/
Not voting with a Scantron, but I am voting in Scranton, PA.
I like what you did there.

Wouldn't the summary be more accurate by saying "Vista a performance dud"?
