Why don't ISPs temporary block outgoing SMTP traffic from users who are sending lots of mail. Afterall, it's the ISP that forewards the traffic to the Internet.
It seems like the Star Trek writers pick either alien disease, transporter accident, or time travel when they can't think up a good script. The show was still better than most shows on TV. I did think that Scott Bakula made a good captain. Maybe the next Star Trek will be better.
I agree. You know when half the episodes were about transporter accidents or time travel that the writers have got nothing. Although, you can't say it was the acting or the special effects that blew it.
Apple is a hardware company, but a lot of the hardware in their computers are made by other venders such as a machines CPU, sound card, video card, memory, etc. Beside the iPod there's really not a lot that Apple makes anymore. OS X is by far their best product. Maybe they could have another version for the PC and call it something else. But, i'm not a business man. I think it would definately make things more interesting for us IT folks.
Apple definately makes some innovative products. I agree that they don't take their products to the same level that Microsoft does. For example, I really don't understand why Apple doesn't put in a little work and port the Mac OS to the x86 architecture. Sure they would lose money on hardware sales, but they could really compete with Windows. Think of all the people who would pick OS X over Windows if given the choice. If I could get a fast machine running OS X for the same price as a fast machine running Windows, I would pick OS X.
