hmmm, I checked this out and it recommended a band that wasn't even close to the three bands I gave it. Plus, I didn't like the band anyway. Not promising
They same systems are now showing up around Seattle and no one seems to complaining here. To me it is much easier than begging some small business for a few dollars worth of quarters. I think the farthest I've walked is a few car lengths. Oh the inhumanity of actually having to move a little. Chicago, stop your whining!
Do you have NoScript running and blocking the ad domains (fsdm, doubleclick, and 2mdn)? That is when I see the ponies. If I allow those domains temporarily they go away
weird, I entered 10 artists I listen to regularly and none of them showed up on GrooveShark, none. So much for "... any song in the world. For free". I'll take last.fm with access to all ten of those artists, thanks
Huh, first you pick apart their technology (rightly or wrongly) and then say "I can guarantee that Microsoft won't build the devices. Innovation has never been their strong suit." If I believe your assessment of the technology then they definitely would build them as they aren't innovative at all. So, which is it then?
not to mention that Pandora's inventory of music is not nearly what last.fm's is. Even though I am in the US, I seldom can use Pandora since most of the music I like they don't have. I keep hoping they improve their "collection" but no signs of this yet.
I totally agree. Pop music has always sucked, just the nature of the beast. You have to look past that stuff. There is always good music out there (including music being made now). You just have to work for it a little. Someone else did the work for you for all that good "old" music. Be the pioneer that does the work to find today's good music for the next generation. It is out there.
not to mention the fact that a roughly estimated %30 of all healthcare costs come form the people employed to assess risk and decide levels of care. You could remove that with nationalized medicine and save a bundle right there. All are covered so no need to work so hard finding ways to not cover high-risk folks are process reams of paperwork on what should be covered by whom and when.
hmm, that's funny, I took the gist of the Rolling Stone article to be that he hasn't changed or learned from his mistakes. The main thing that came out of it for me (and sort of killed my view of him as a Straight Talker, etc) was that he was always an opportunist (Keating 5, change of stance on torture to try and get elected, etc). Plus the history they show was more than just some gallivanting. That wouldn't explain how he treated his first wife (or second wife for that matter). Now, all that being said it was Rolling Stone which I don't use as my news source.
Biodiesel is NOT ethanol, sheesh. Now, we know waste oil is not the magic solution to our energy woes but it certainly can be a nice extra. Right now my car runs exclusively on biodiesel (a nice, zippy TDI Golf) that comes from waste oil from restaurants that a group of us process into biodiesel. The leftovers are methanol that we recoup and then reuse in the process and glycerin that we give to farmers to use as part of their feed (we use KOH instead of NaOH in the process so the glycerin is palatable etc). Again, there isn't enough waste oil to power all the cars but it sure is a good way to use oil that would otherwise be dumped. Why not use it while we wait for people to find better ways to create it (through algae, hemp, or rapeseed)
Just to address your issues (not that I'm saying Exchange is a miracle curer or anything):
1. if you are using POP or IMAP then it integrates just fine with any mail client. WebDAV can also be used. If you want full MAPI integration then certainly you are getting deep into the weeds
2. If your Exchange server is giving you Time Zone issues this is the fault of your Exchange Admins. There were fixes for this (albeit Microsoft was super late getting out an easy to install patch so you had to do your own patching to avoid the problem before people noticed).
3. The Resource scheduling thing has never been a good way to do it. There is a tool called AutoAccept Agent that you can download for Exchange that makes things a breeze. Check it out
4. Never seen this problem but maybe I just haven't missed the folks during the meetings;-)
you actually can separate out traffic into VLAN's from a WAP, you would just have to have an AP that could run a trunk back to a switch and then you could run a RADIUS server or something to do the segmenting (either based on a user login or by MAC address). In fact they could create a separate, dead-end VLAN on all their AP's that all iPhones are "switched" to if the iPhones' MAC addresses have enough in common to sort them out (without dead-ending a bunch of MacBooks or something).
I'm running Win2003 as a guest with the PV-enabled tools and getting way past the 100Mb speed for NIC I/O (I haven't pushed it to Gbit yet). I can't comment on the disk performance, though, as of yet as I haven't started running any disk-heavy apps on Xen yet. I would agree with the GP though in that I'm seeing excellent performance running three OS'es (two win2003 servers and a Debian Etch server) in Xen on a Dell Blade with the right processors, almost bare metal speed for what I'm doing. Again, I haven't been ready to throw a SQL or Emai type server at it yet but for the more processor\memory\IO heavy apps\servers I'm quite happy with the performance (and cost savings and energy savings, etc).
Yes, Xen is becoming a great tool for hosting companies, making it very easy to offer customers quickly scalable resources (look at www.engineyard.com for an exmaple on Xen on Gentoo with Mongrel and Rails IIRC). It has also become a great resource for me in a University setting where VMWare is just too dang expensive. We run Xen on Debian and then "guest" all sorts of OS'es (yes, we have the right processors to make Win2003 work). On the down side, they still have some work to do to make multiple virtual volumes a possibility plus they need to have a way to migrate guests from server to server across a SAN (right now you need to do an export\import vs. VMWare's VMotion app. Supposedly all of this is coming this year in the next version (3.3? or 4?). Anyway, I have found the performance to be excellent and the cost right.
That is about the same list of what we use. I've got all the common Postifx restrictions first, followed by the Blacklists (Spamhaus XBL, etc) followed by Greylisting then onto amavis that manages SpamAssassin (with Razor2, FuzzyOCR) and ClamAV. Our two gateway servers drop about 70,000 emails a day (87% of all email coming through our gateway) and Spamassassin labels almost the rest of the junk mail(we have a high bar for discarding since we want to let the user have some control). We also have our gateways contact our Exchange servers for emails to upload for SpamAssassin to learn from (we have public folders that users can submit missed spam and wrongly labeled non-spam to). This has helped SA improve its filters tremendously. We do use SPF a little (for faked bounc backs etc) but as folks have said, the critical mass isn't there yet to help. And yes, spammers will find the next loophole but I'm sure we'll find the next fix quickly.
Trixbox was the next iteration of the Asterisk@Home ISO which is a fantastic, super easy to install instant PBX for home or work. For a $30 dollar special modem card (an FXO) and a slightly old PC, you can quickly have a full fledged PBX system up and running in about 20 minutes. It has all the modules you could need to do even fancy PBX configurations built in. This is a huge deal. This is something that could finally get those scam artists at places like Avaya to stop charging exorbitant prices for 30 year old technology (not to mention the yearly licensing etc). This set of tools could save a company tons and tons of money by helping them move to a much more inexpensive solution. If you are interested in OSS and phones you should learn more

um, so, Vista and Ubuntu must've been hacked days ago then, right? Oops, they each survived the second day.
