    ...are usually facing in the wrong direction... they should be blowing in the case (except the one in the PSU)... there are two advantages : you get a cooler PC and a more silent PC (this was btw. implemented in some DEC cases).
    ...and use good silent fans (f.x. Papst)... they move lot of air without the noise...

  18. Re:New mail protocol on Spamhaus: MCI Makes $5M A Year In Spam Profits · · Score: 1
    I agree... but it must :

    not be a replacement (f.x. not run on port 25)

    not be backward compatible (pointless)

    have sender verification (we want to be sure that the sender IS in fact the sender)

    support encryption on at least 256 bit level (as an option)

    be a binary protocol and not text-based (let's get rid of all those encoding issues)

    be free (as in NOT patented and without royalties)

    support RBL's

  20. Re:MS and TCP/IP on Bill Gates Claims OSS Has Poor Interoperability · · Score: 1

    When I prepared for my MCSE in 1998 there was not much about TCP/IP in the books... it was only consideret for large networks and only if access to the Internet was an issue... small, non routed, networks should run NetBeui and large should run IPX. Arguments againts TCP/IP were : complicated, slow and large code. The only reason (which i can imagine) OS/2 got TCP/IP must be that IBM wanted it for access to AIX... btw. afaik the whole networking part of OS/2 wad made by IBM.

  21. Re:That man is right... on Bill Gates Claims OSS Has Poor Interoperability · · Score: 1

    I don't think that "interoperability" is only ment as "open files from other apps". It is more likely OLE and ActiveX...

  22. Re:MS and TCP/IP on Bill Gates Claims OSS Has Poor Interoperability · · Score: 1

    they first delivered their own TCP/IP with NT4... in W95 it was only ment for access to the Internet. Even NT4 assumed that one would use NetBEUI as network protocol.
    For LAN you could use IPX but it wouldn't help if you needed access to the Internet...
    Back then M$ was not interested in the Internet... BG's own words...
