However, you still have to worry about your ISP logging e-mail related traffic before it even hits your server. It's merely exchanging one evil for another.
And did you bother to read the other link? Of course web-related stuff is written in.NET. But the only client apps completely written in.NET are internal to Microsoft. 4 years ago they said Office would be completely rewritten in.NET within 2 years. Never happened. So far all they've done is connect to the framework so people can write scripts and plug-ins to some apps.
Why on EARTH would they waste all those man hours completely rewriting Office if they don't have to? A major benefit of.NET is how it can extend the functionality of older applications/libraries, which is exactly what they've done with it in regards to Office.
At least now you'll hopefully stop spreading FUD related to ASP.NET's in-line/code-behind models.
Windows 98 had some of the worst memory management ever. Sure it might run like a champ a little of the time, but if you miss a daily (sometimes bi-hourly) restart, your system will screech to a halt quick.
People used to say the same about PC video cards. Checked the prices on a GeForce 7800 GTX 512, or a Radeon X1900XTX?(Both of which happen to be flying off the shelves)
A true media center IS all-in-one. Most people I know don't want a room full of clunky equipment and a small network just to record TV and listen to CDs.
This is similar to how I do it. Most of my programming anymore is done in.NET, so I've created a set of libraries, organized by the scope of the work (Database/IO, alrogithms, network transport). I then used nDoc to create MSDN-style documentation that I can easily search later on if I need to code something similar.
That way I can locate the exact class, make sure that it suits my needs, and copy it over (along with any dependencies) into the project quickly and easily.
Is it really that much different than offering a discount on your pay-based service? Some could say that if you can't charge full price for your service, then you have a problem.
The deal is air quality. Maybe coal can be burned cleaner than oil. My bet is on: probably not.
The government is supposedly working on a coal fired zero-emissions power plant by the name of FutureGen. If you'd rather get an official source, here's the official Dept of Energy page.
400GB is not that much if you're recording raw HDTV. The X2/2gb ram will make a huge difference when you're recording 2 shows while watching a third (or, perhaps burning a DVD of some video that you recorded earlier).
This system is not for the average homebrewer. This is a pretty high-end project for someone with a nice HT setup.
We're not talking about the survival of civilation, we're talking about profit. If survival was at stake, we'd have moved to alternative energy sources years, even decades ago. It's not like fossil fuel being limited was news for the past 50 years.
But in order for that to work, you'd have to notify the client of the new URL (or have the client request the new URL). How many corporate firewalls do you know of that would allow a remote system to connect to this tool, which resides on a computer within their network?
You might retort with "omg your so dumb the application could request the new ip address", to which I'd reply "That's great, so long as you can connect to the URL updater's address in the first place (since your company firewalled it as per my first statement)."
They won't block it if only one person uses it, traffic is too small to get noticed. Plus, if myfriend.com is on DSL or some other ISP that DHCP's a new IP regularly, then it is effectively unblockable.
It's not like their software or hardware won't allow them to block by domain name, you know...

They're not selling you the program. They're selling you *use of the program*.

However, he implied through his signature that contrary to FF, IE can't pass Acid2.0
*sniff sniff*
What's that smell?
Are you kidding me? Do you know what kinda problems that would cause in a MMO environment? Cheating is bad enough as it is, don't make it any easier.
I'm getting sick of this myth that .NET is so much slower than native code. For one example that completely shatters this theory, click here.
Only on /. can someone spout off a sensationalist line of garbage without supporting details or facts, and be modded "Insightful".

This could be construed as the mentality that led to the 9/11 attacks.
"Name a situation in which a plane was hijacked by a foreigner and run into the WTC!"
"Oh, there isn't one? THEN IT COULD *NEVER* HAPPEN!"

Certainly, you'll rock at games like Tetris and Minesweeper!
Yeah, don't try to pin this one on Bush! He happens to specialize in secret wiretapping, NOT video surveillance.
Obviously, you've never been a sysadmin in an enterprise environment..
I couldn't read beyond the parent's first paragraph without being reminded of this video.
I was comparing principle, not sales volume.

Send a letter? I'd rather be literal than illogical.
We're talking about getting through a corporate firewall, not passing through the underground railroad.

The more efficient you are, the less they'll produce. Prices will not change.
