These are pre-heating sparks used for warming air in cylinders before starting the engine

They are obviously not targeting terrorists.

They simply want to be able to collect more information (read evidences) about you and me, information that can be useful during investigations, or in a court.

There are already companies which specialize in tracking and profiling people online. It's just a matter of time before police follows this trend.

I've been using Evolution and the Exchange plugin to connect to my company's Exchange server.

I can access mail and online calendar with not much problem. There are some annoyances, but I can live with them.

I would prefer OpenChange and Evolution work together in improving the already existing stack instead of creating a new one...

Either implicite or explicit, there's always a cap on any ressource. Now it depends on the cap :)

Like everybody, I also don't like caps. When I started using cable back in Paris in late 90's, my stupid provider imposed very low limits, like max 500mb upload / month. And at the same time, they had no problem advertising their service as "Unlimited Internet access" on every wall in the street.

300gb seems to be high enough. In July I downloaded a lot of via Bittorrent (HD stuff), and total trafic for that month was 74.70gb, as reported by my Linksys router running Tomato firmware (http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato/). Normally, I would use from 12 to 25gb/month (2 persons, with lot of streaming radio).
