I would like to know the provider. Verio had a special a while back for a Full T1 at the "great" price of $1000/month. One problem, Verio blows.
I just signed up with UU, and am paying around $1500/mo. I could get a cheaper connection, but you have to understand QoS ismuch more important than price when it comes right down to it for most companies with a reasonable cashflow.
Yep. $4.95 for thousands of legal material compared to $16.95 for a single CD. Thats a horrid loss for RIAA, unless they have some magical plan to embrace it, it wont happen.
Paying for a service thats easily replaceable?

Nope. Everyone would jump on the gnutella/other bandwagon. There will always be bigger and better things, and if we've realized anything (with experience with GNU-related incidents), the bigger and better of software wont cost you a dime:)
I understand that, however you have to try and comprehend why this would happen.
WHen a company has a product that works well with another one of theyre products, they will promote it, right? Thats what this is. Just because it does not say on the front of the box that the TNEF format is an issue, doesent mean its not one.
The article does arise the format and its somewhat interesting, however i do not classify this as slashdot material.
This is such a tiny-influence and tiny-relation article, that its relatively worthless. This is a "1 second fix" problem.. And of course M$ is going to try and push exchange along with outlook. is microsoft being truthful up front? no. is it legal? yes.
its another microsoft quirk. you will find it all over theyre software, and find it all over open source software as well (making projects depend, or highly suggest other projects).
Is this grammar school? Does anyone really care the difference between your, you're and you are? There is no difference. your is best described as SLANG for you're or you are.
Im not an english major, but im not a complete idiot either. When i write a professional document, of course mistakes like that are fixed. however, this is a bulletin board, and frankly the point is to get your message across in the simplest manner while still legible to everyone. And im sorry, but if you dont understand your you are the idiot.
1 - Plain text, yay, it works great, and everyone can read it
2 - HTML, Great! Most can read it just fine! Netscape users too!
3 - Rich Text, Now unless your a complete fscking idiot, doesent this just scream M$ word all over it?
Im as linux suportive as the next guy.. But...
This was a 100% complete worthless article, which was only posted because this man is "a highly devoted linux advocate". Its sad that stuff like this gets posted...
I suppose next we're going to complain that exe files dont run properly on linux, and that MS hasnt made them run on WINE..
Those experienced with Windows 2000, know that its actually very remote-administration friendly. First there is MMC (Microsoft Management Console) which is a simple, plugin-based app which you can add and remove "snap-ins" for different services which can reside on any machine running Win2k+ RPC.
Personally, I LOVE MMC. The same thing needs to be created for *NIX. IMO its one of Microsoft's best creations. Its not too complex, but its quite useful.
The second, is the ability to run a telnet service with NMB authentication. Quite nice, although its not ssh+bash.
Just because you have not had any problems does not mean that other people that are having problems are doing something wrong, believe me. .
I agree, i guess i didnt get this across in my message, and i should have. I know it doesent run perfectly on every machine. Personally i havent had troubles with it, others may, ok, whatever. Im voicing my opinion.
I am sorry about upsetting those who disagee with comments i made, mainly not to install "crap".
And as far as this goes, you are misunderstanding one thing. Netscape, Realplayer, ETC do crash THEMSELVES on win2k machines i have seen. They do NOT crash the OS itself.
I wish i could truly sit in front of an audience of anyone who rebutts this, as they would be proved wrong. I have had my Windows 2000 pro machine up and logged in since (ctrl+alt+del's to see) 7/6/00. This is a dual celeron 366 processor machine with a geforce2 and 512mb memory.
I am in NO WAY advocating microsoft, as i wish they didnt exist as well. I would LOVE!!!! to switch to X, given the fact i could play counterstrike, as well as use many of the tools i currently do.
IMO (and take it as an opinion only, not that im pushing it upon others) Linux is NOT ready for the desktop. I need.doc files, i need games, and i need photoshop, and i need vc++. do i like purchasing ms products? not by far! do i wish there were an equally productive GNU alternative? of course!
as long as linux progresses as it has, these things should be avaliable relatively soon, at which time ill give it a switch.
actually its for specific hardware, and for a server.
why do i use windows? compatibility, it works great when used properly, and i have no reason to switch. i am perfectly happy. and no, its not lined with windows propoganda, i am definetly pro-linux/bsd, but everything has its place, and its my belief (and not trying to propogate this) that linux is NOT ready for the desktop.
I have worked with both VERY extensively, from playing with every gadget Win2k server offers, to making my own linux distrobution for a standalone product (to be revieled in the future).
Windows is meant to be pretty. It accomplishes it. And its meant to use **the right software**. I run windows 2000 professional on my home machine, have been so since the early beta days, and it HAS NOT CRASHED. You have to treat it properly. I.E. Not installing shit software. When you take the NT kernel and play the game the way it likes, you will be successful.
I guess its possible to say roughly the same thing for linux, except that things are more clearcut. Linux/BSD (dont forget about bsd) can do everything that win2k can do, with the exception of running windows binaries perfectly (by perfectly i mean executing the code as it was meant by the developer).
Personally, my servers are linux and bsd, and my workstations are win2k. Its all about the sysadmin creating a solution to mold the two, which i have found to be extrordinarily easy and fruitful. Why not Linux/X on the workstations? Why the hell is that a good idea? X Crashes, netscape crashes. In win2k using it over a year, my explorer has NOT crashes, and IE has NOT crashed. Ive used both extensively, and its much better to pay for win2k (150 for oem client). Its chumpchange compared to how much you will save in support costs.
BTW, Windows 2000 has great multimedia support. Plus support for dual processors makes it even better.
in recap, I am basically saying that when you have a REAL system administrator (NOT MCSE, NOT CERTIFIED, HELL NO COLLEGE), someone that knows things in and out, and can get things done, either solution works. Its all about the needs, and what OS 3rd party applications are made to run on.
And to people saying Windows 2000 crashes for them, your either doing something wrong, or your installing "crap" (i.e. netscape, realplayer, etc.). Yes, theres no point in netscape when IE Renders better, renders faster, is built for the OS, and does NOT crash in Win2k. The only reason to run netscape is to show your support for it, and its too bad nobody cares anymore:)

if you look at the bid history.. well.. just look. opa-opa is my hero, and montana131 owes someone a lot of money.

Take note however, that for the most part Open-Source projects do not pay the developers. $0 to $55 is a reasonable jump IMO.
yeah umn.. ill buy quantity. in fact, ill buy 100 for $5,000 a piece :)
doh i r second! :(
UGH
Ittl be good.. Honestly Have you ever been dissapointed with the plot in any FF game? I havent, and ive played them all (even the imports yay!)

its nothing new.
I am not a MS advocate. I am a unix programmer. I do believe that everything has its place, and that open-source isnt the solution to everything.

and you dont have to wait for sysv scripts to run on a linux machine? both do it in different ways, but both do it.
the same with win2k, netscape crashes. woop. you restart it. it does nothing to explorer/X or either kernel.
Just because you have not had any problems does not mean that other people that are having problems are doing something wrong, believe me. .
