There is worlds of differences between doing corporate exchange uses and email as an ISP. Exchange for ISP is stupid. Mail is the simplest of functions, and is only a portion of what exchange is. Exchange shouldn't be called a mail server, but rather a corporate communication and collaboration server. Back in 97-2000 exchanged suck, now it can scale, and has a feature set that any of the other solutions do not provide.

I want there to be one, I check every few years, and nothing has passed enough to take it as far as testing performance, or even looking at the cost. Granted I haven't looked this year or the year before. There always something that's almost there, but is missing enough large pieces we can not use it. I'm glad small companies and ISP's can use those packages, and wish I could too.

I would think RedHat, SUSE, or Ubuntu would make an Exchange replacement that only the person who installed it would know its not exchange. And that includes fooling the people who manage it.

14 tabs, is that all? Let me give you a hint, I don't use bookmarks, I use tabs (and session manager).

I could never complain about FF memory issues as I have 100-300 tabs (usually ~120) open, my only beef is that FF is becoming a mini-me of chrome, and I wasn't using chrome for a reason. Although chrome had nice multithreaded features like its own task manager to see what web page is eating all the resources, and an easy way to kill that page.

Also strange, it was just looking at stats yesterday and I was quite happy to see nothing above 50%. http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

Its like having your parents co-sign on your first car purchase. You pay it, but if you don't, then they go after your parents.

Its only an issue when the companies fail to pay it, and that's when the government should take over to fix the situation and look at the leaders of the company to find fault in them.

I worked for a company (prosper) for a very short while who made several millionaires doing just this, they have about 200-400 websites up at any one time, they sign deals with "talking heads" (like john cummuta) and rake in millions.

It's disgusting how doing nothing but scamming people can net them more money in a few years than I'll see in a life time. They don't know how to do anything but talk and chase money.

And worse yet, if they do make a mistake, they are untouchable, their company is several layers of LLC's or corporations, and the arm that seen to have any responsibility just gets renamed, while the others hold the little assets.

Because what they are allowed to do is bad enough.

Every chance we get to make TSA look bad, we should. Every chance we get to cut their funding we should. Every chance we get to limit their scope and power we should take.

The current environment is absolutely disgusting, there is enough people willing to throw away their rights, that I don't have a chance in hell to even keep mine.

Should there ever be an organized protest in SLC area against T.S.A., I would participate. Hell I even voted for a <a href="http://chaffetz.house.gov/">bastard</a> who did his own protesting against TSA, yet hasn't done a thing to remove them. Even doing little things like passing comics bringing to light the vileness of TSA brings comments from people "well they are all mostly good and protect us from bad guys".

So every chance we get to show them for the vile villains they are, run with it. It makes news, and news (along with campaign bribes) is what drives politicians.

I re-installed windows on my gaming rig and tried out windows 7, I'll switch back, please don't ban me from the net!

Serious though, I just installed 7 on my gaming rig(was XP) a few days and even earlier today as I surfed the net to download 64bit drivers/apps was realizing this would show up on peoples pages (and the fact I'm using FF 5.x rather than 3.x)

Blizzard has stated that D3 will be the same as SC2, requiring Battle.net accounts for single play as well. CLaiming its for the added features, but we all know its to destroy used game sales. I own 2 copies of their games, most of my friends own their games, until SC2.

As far as Lan I agree, even steam witch lets you play LAN, requires steam accounts for each username, so people sharing have to share account names (you want to be yelling at the right person right?) So you have to crack the game. Not to mention, how do we introduce people to the game if they can't play it till after they bought it . . . Cracks again. So once cracked because it is nesasary, why do people want to buy the game they cant use?

It seams I can only buy games from id and Stardock(and the games they publish). Everyone else see's LAN as "obsolete". . . How the hell can 1GB network and real life interaction with team mates is obsolete I don't know,

It's a shame there isn't a good replacement for Diablo 2 like games. Sacred, which makes 2nd top of that type of game, is a clone of Diablo 1( it's multiplayer mechanics and is broken), with all it's faults multiplied, not adding anything more than pretty 3dish pictures,

Since I put a lot of effort in gathering LAN friendly games and ways to make them such, maybe I should create a website dedicated to this . . . . In hopes that some companies renew LAN play in their games.

I am not sure if you are just trolling or misguided.

First
kill != murder, There are plenty of ways to kill life w/o it being murder. You kill flowers by picking them.
pantyshot == pornography. Granted, not Hardcore, and not X, heck PG13 by some peoples standards. Also, as pantyshot/upskirt can imply the target being an unwilling model . . . .

Now, to kill a process does make sense in its own scope, so it can't be seen as easily offensives that way. How does project pantyshot or upskirt make sense? Maybe I am jaded because I am a perverted old man, but those are have some pretty strong single purpose meanings where the only possible variation is if the person was willing.

Eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow we diet.
