#1: Authentication cannot be readily shared with other services, i.e., the employees need to juggle yet one more set of credentials.
#2: Limited ability to use 3rd party software (e.g., VM, Fax, two-factor authentication systems, etc) unless it exclusively uses exposed interfaces (RPC/HTTP, IMAP, etc).
#3: Won't scale well with large companies (with multiple subsidiaries/operating companies) that need/want to use more advanced AD features.
Well on the Support front, Google seem to have a few options which include 24/7 support with a 99.9% uptime guarantee. Whether that translates into reality who knows, anecdotally I've had no issues in 4 years and I recall only reading a couple of issues in the news over that time. They also have (albeit I'm unsure of the level of doco) many APIs, which handle all the scaling one would need. We've considered replacing our in house exchange environment with it, so my colleague has written scripts that can create accounts, sync passwords/details etc, our only show stopper isn't technical, it's that we don't think the business would be ready for this kind of change.
I wouldn't tolerate Opt-out, nor opt-in, it's only a policy change away from being Mandatory. What the Government should be doing is starting a "Family Friendly" ISP program. Special logos, resources for parents etc. Unfortunately politics isn't about common sense, it's all about being seen to be doing something.
Dealers are like that hear in Aus. I prefer to take vehicles to a smaller shop with a good reputation. One mob tried to tell my fiancée that she needed a new horn (at $260) as it was "off tone". Now it's the loudest thing you could ever hear (quite unexpected for a car that small) and gives a single continuous tone, which is all that is required to be considered roadworthy in Australia. General servicing used to cost her nearly $500 (Fluid/Filter Change), we recently had a timing belt and water pump replaced at the VW Specialist (which in that car is an insane job) which came in at $540. Dealers that rip people off are the scum of the earth.
Maybe, but it depends whether the feature was actually advertised, or just happened to be there.
You are not liable if the fault resulted from incorrect advice provided to the consumer by the retailer.
This might give some hope though
You cannot impose misleading conditions into your contract with retailers to limit your responsibility for the goods you have supplied. For example, stating that the retailer must pay freight for returning faulty goods, or that faulty goods must be returned in the original packaging, is likely to mislead the retailer about their rights and your obligations.
Glad I never bought one, I just don't trust Sony enough.
I lived the life of an MUD gamer, lived your first scenario till I was 19. I'm now a functioning member of society, who goes to bed at 10pm, gets up at 6am, walks the dog, goes to work etc. Honestly though, it's up to the parents and I did give mine hell as a teenager! But this is South Korea, since when was freedom guaranteed?
No, the political system in Australia is a disgrace, but is leaps and bounds ahead of that in the US. There are motivated citizens trying to make change happen, but it's not going to happen overnight eg. Getup.org creators of such gems as censordyne
.... Which version are you using?? I've been using 9.10 for quite some time, first release where I haven't done things by hand. 9.04 was garbage and 8.10 was close, but not quite there. The network manager in 9.10 is very simple and "Just Works"
Today, but what about tomorrow? This does not instill confidence was my point.
Then you get the CentOS of the Ubuntu world. They can't just lock it up and put $$ in front of it, that's the beauty of open source. No confidence lost here, just perception on your behalf.
There are off-line servers for the likes of WoW, you can play without paying a dime, there are others too. Some MMOs even have a single player mode built in (hellgate: london)
You didn't mention another group which is people who pirate because they just don't want to pay.
The X18+ classification means that the film can only be legally sold or hired in the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory from premises licensed to sell X18+ videotapes and DVDs. Only people aged 18 years and over are able to buy and hire such films from these premises.
So only the people in the ACT (where the Federal Parliament resides) and the northern territory, which only has a population of roughly 230,000 (to put that into perspective, Victoria's capital Melbourne has around 4million people). So the only people who can legally purchase or hire X18+ material are either Federal Politicians or a bunch of people in outback australia who probably live too far from a video store anyway. Go figure!
Google has the most muscle, but you still can't use their Tasks + their Calendar + their email in the same rich client (not the browser).
Why tie yourself to a client? Wean yourself off using a client, I did a few years ago when I couldn't be bothered re-configuring mine and I've never looked back. There are some quite cool tools in Google labs and I've structured gmail around the way my brain operates. Best thing is I can access it from my phone, my computers at work, my computers at home, my fiancé's computer, my mates computer and still get the same experience as if I was using it on the one machine.
I don't think it was malicious and can confirm this was a significant issue at my work place. There was a hotfix that prevented it from happening and it was definitely addressed in SP3. Microsoft Windows Silent Adhoc Network Advertisement
I'm sorry, but this is all too good to be true, I had to check the date twice! Now all we need is for Conroy to admit he's completely wrong and step down!
For a good laugh, you should complete the "Vote Now!" on the left hand side (no login required)
I'm just curious of whether it would work differently for someone who never had sight. TFA states
A soldier who was blinded by a rocket propelled grenade in Iraq three years ago has been fitted with a device that allows him to "see" with his tongue, enabling him to visualise shapes, read words and walk unaided.
I know that, you know that and I'm willing to bet even Senator Conroy is aware of that. Considering that he's been buddying up with the media companies on every front (reducing tv license fees, skiing with the head of one of the stations, backing big media in the iinet trial), that the filter, in it's current state, will certainly become the thin edge of the wedge.
I watched "The Boat That Rocked" again the other night, and It reminded me that history seems to have a way of repeating itself. It may not be rock 'n roll this time, but it is certainly something the powers at be don't fully understand and cannot control. This scares them.
Wonder what Smartnet costs will be for that puppy! For those that don't know, the only way to get firmware updates legitimately for Cisco kit is to pay for Smartnet. Quite a rort IMHO, but the market seem to be happy to pay for it. Guess that's why they have something like 100 Billion in cash laying around, Which they use to fund their Cisco Finance arm, that gets more people addicted.

Sounds like the Same situation we are in over here in Australia. Kevin Rudd, promising much, delivering very little.

It's not really that far fetched, Picasa is one example and there are many other applications that come prepackaged with wine.

Hope these don't come to Australia, I'm regularly surrounded by dangerous levels of Sulphar Dioxide and Methane gas!
I think the Moon and Sixpence in Perth has it, but that's a British pub. The brits seem to like it for some odd reason!
Fosters
Does anyone in Australia actually drink that toilet water? The only person I've witnessed drinking it was my Grand Father.

and many MMOs don't have piracy either.

Oh yeah -> Upside-down-ternet
Maybe the case for this movie, but not the point I was making. I think it's even illegal to possess X18+ material in the state I live in.
The thing that bothers me is this quote from 9 Songs Classification

I hoped I wasn't the only one!
If only I had mod points, this certainly isn't funny, but sadly it should be insightful.
