That, and what are the odds of getting a phone number where all the digits are 3, 4, or 5. 0435 doesn't sound valid from my time in market research either.
No, they use Google Apps for Education, which is different. Google Apps for Education comes with an SLA, Privacy Agreement (i.e. Google does not, or claims not to, data-mine the information), and is set up by replacing (or supplementing) your existing infrastructure. It is, unlike Gmail, actually certified for the purpose and unlike Gmail it is legal to be used for official purposes. Just switching to your personal Gmail account for official school business violates everything from confidentiality laws to transparency (official records) laws, and everything in between.
Also, Exchange servers cannot be cracked by "a 13 year old with halfway decent hacking skills". You're just showing your FUD-spewing Linux Zealot tendencies there.
You're on crack. Zimbra costs almost as much as, if not more than, Exchange. While sucking about twice as much. May as well just switch to Google Apps, which happens to also emulate Exchange pretty damn well.
lol it sounds like you actually believe that you're proposing a better solution there! Where I work, we have 3 Exchange CAS servers hosting 15,000 clients. Without a hiccup. And the best part is that we don't need to hire $150K/yr Unix sysadmins just to create mailboxes, and clients can actually connect to it without the end-users needing to have a Doctorate in Information Systems in order to set up their devices.
Contrary to popular belief, there's a saying among large organisations - "Noone pays list price". It's true though - the actual server license is in the sub-$20K range, and the CALs are included in your CAL Suites (which are less than $70 per user per year). Those CAL suites cover pretty much every MS product (ever wondered why large organisations use Sharepoint/Office/Outlook/Exchange/Windows almost guaranteed? It's because half that crap is thrown in with the Windows license, so may as well use it). That's ignoring that Education and Healthcare get even steeper discounts from MS. Hell, it'd probably cost them significantly more to set up Exim/Postfix/Sendmail/Zimbra or whatever.
There can only be no medium as long as extremist zealots exist on both sides of the fence. On the one hand. you have the RIAA/MPAA/BSA/ESA who insist that all media must be controlled by them and paid for. On the other hand you have extremist crazies like you who insist that all media must be free because you can't own ideas.
The middle ground is when both of you fuck off and we can get to some actual common sense discussion of the problem.
Actually, that's not true. They are very much NOT US domains, as "GTLD" stands for "Global Top Level Domain", which.com,.net, and.org are. Verisign currently runs them, but ICANN could contract it to Nominet (UK) if they felt so inclined.
Looks great, but what does it actually cost? I assume it follows the old adage "if you have to ask, it's too much". Seems that you can only get it via stupidly priced "Solution Designer" type folks.
Actually, your free trade agreements are usually weapons written by the RIAA, MPAA, Big Tobacco and Big Pharma to neuter foreign countries with policies they don't like, often including collateral damage to the United States itself. Cases in point the free trade agreement with Australia that allowed British American Tobacco to sue the Australian government for billions in damages because the Australian government passed a law requiring all cigarette packets to be blank (BAT argued that this devalued their trademarks), or the TPPA which will allow Big Pharma to sue the New Zealand government or Medicaid/Medicare for "failing to reflect the value of (the) pharmaceutical patents" during supply negotiations.
So yes, please do stop writing Free Trade Agreements.
Yah, even in 2003, with mixed-mode AD and NT 4.0 servers, the damned Solarix box serving radiology and NFS shares, keeping your shiny new Server 03 box happy for more than a week was sometimes a challenge.
Wait, I forget. If it leaks memory, stops replicating, buffers packets instead of forwarding them, and turns deaf to NFS, it's probably the admin's fault.
Considering every Windows-centric company I've ever worked for has never had this problem, yes - it is the admin's fault. Especially since the situation you describe (Solaris boxes doing radiology and NFS) is pretty much identical to my current employer, and we have uptimes in the months, it's clear your admins were just incompetent.
Thank you for not referring to the ptfs/liblime fork as "koha". By saying that "...PTFS/LibLime's project is also OSS," you seem to be acknowledging that it is separate from koha, so why not call it by a different name?
Why not call HLT's project a different name?
Um, because they were the ones that created the project? Duh.
Is the small size of ptfs/liblime supposed to excuse its abhorrent behavior and lack of moral compass?
One of HLT's tactics is to spin us as some mega-corp bully.
Which your posts here are doing a damn fine job of reinforcing.
So, are you saying that HLT is to blame for not taking "...the issue seriously enough to stop their own trademark..." from being acquired by ptfs/liblime? In other words, ptfs/liblime is not responsible for what it is doing, but HLT is to blame for allowing ptfs/liblime to to do it?? Wow, you folks at ptfs/liblime really have no moral compass at all.
No, I'm saying that in addition to their hostility and divisiveness (which is what has prevented PTFS from simply canceling the app when we found out about its existence), HLT is also incompetent. They let their own application fall to rot. If they had not done so, they could have (probably successfully) contested PTFS' claim. But this way it sure is useful for garnering attention and donations.
Which still doesn't explain why FTFS feels it has to trademark the name at all. The only reason you need one is if you actually feel you have to protect the brand from dilution (i.e. Ubuntu, Red Hat, Debian, Firefox) - many OSS projects get along just fine without one.
If I make up a word called Azkio but it turns out to be a generic term in a language that less than.0002% of the people in the world would recognize does that mean a TM is invalidated?
In the country whose native language it's a generic term in, I would imagine so, yes.

NSI doesn't matter. It's Verisign you need to be afraid of.
No, they use Google Apps for Education, which is different.

No, CAS is Client Access Server

.com domains are ALL controlled by Verisign, a US company.
Could be anywhere. The root zone (.) is Anycast from DNS servers located all over the globe, including even in China.
I dunno, I'm pretty sure Bank of America reckons they have Sovereign Immunity...
Actually, that's not true. They are very much NOT US domains, as "GTLD" stands for "Global Top Level Domain", which .com, .net, and .org are. Verisign currently runs them, but ICANN could contract it to Nominet (UK) if they felt so inclined.

So yes, please do stop writing Free Trade Agreements.
Just to add though, that's a reflection on Brin, not Google.
And you obviously work for LibLime, so noone cares what you have to say anyway.

If you're rebooting a Windows server once a week, your server admins suck. Period.
Out of curiousity, is there a source for that?
The APN can be written into the SIM. And, often is. It's not magic voodoo, but a carrier can (and in some cases will) make it "just work".
Er, the carrier doesn't need an app on your phone to snoop on your every text and call...

Oh, so you ARE an employee of LibLime then. I figured you were, since you're the only person defending this shitty behaviour.
Not in New Zealand you can't. Although apparently that only applies to little people.
