RE: Is Exchange Doomed?
While I can see that as a rational for pushing IT outside the walls of the business, I still think it is a poor move. If you push your IT outside the walls you are setting yourself up to be held hostage by that same outsourcing company when it comes time to renew the agreement. If you outsource your mail to a hosted service, you have no clue as to whether or not your mail is being tapped/copied and sold off to some third party. John H.

RE: Is Exchange Doomed?
Email is a commodity. Hosted Exchange is a commodity. Now, when I first set up a hosted Exchange company in 1999, it was pretty rare...but not today. If you have something that differentiates your business (such as your drug pipeline in the case of a pharma company) - you sure don't outsource that. But commodities? They aren't worth it. Insofar as being held hostage or mail is being tapped/copied and sold off to some third party... well, that's what contracts are for. And realistically, that's no different than having someone go bad inside your IT organization. Anyway, this spirit of discourse and disagreement is what makes the world go 'round. All IMHO. YMMV.

RE: Is Exchange Doomed?
Michael: You’re right, that’s why I like this list, we have differing opinions, but as far as I know, no one has croaked because of the debates here. But as far as having a “contract” in place with a third party host, it makes no difference to the crook on the datacenter floor if you have a 50 page contract written in 3 dialects of lawyereese saying that he can’t do what he’s doing. If he’s going to do it, then he’s going to do it and to heck with the ramifications. By the time the customer finds out and reports the problem, the damage is done. John H.

Did I mention that I'm old? :-) Wisconsin used to have draconian anti-gambling laws - to such a degree that if a resident of Wisconsin bought a lottery ticket in another state - they were not allowed to cash it in. Eventually, lottery tickets often had void in the state of Wisconsin printed on them. Google that phrase, you'll find lots of hits. Really, it's a joke.

Matteson, John H Jr USA Mr USA 25th SigBN (ITT) john.matte...@afghan.swa.army.mil: But as far as having a “contract” in place with a third party host, it makes no difference to the crook on the datacenter floor if you have a 50 page contract ... I think MBS's point is that you can have crooks inside your organization just as easily as you can have crooks in a supplier's organization. You seem to take it as a given that you can always trust employee, and we know that's not true. I'm sure you familiar with all the audit requirements DoD has for computers that already can only be touched by people who have security clearance, formal access authorization, and need-to-know. :) They're there because the insider threat is real, and the hardest to defend against. It's certainly possible to arrange for assurances for this sort of thing. You could do your own audits of the hosting company, or there could be some kind of accreditation system. Same as the National Industrial Security Program allows for commercial organizations to process DoD classified information, even though there normally aren't any DoD personnel on-site. All that said, most of the hosted offerings I've seen have no provisions for that sort of thing, and most businesses don't seem to care.

Re: American automotive (was: Is Exchange Doomed?)
Not at all. The fact that there are so many is what makes a generalization like this ring all the more true. This doesnt have to be a flame war. A discussion of passions doesnt have to be nasty. Observations I have learned from ready industry magazines and watching industry spotlight shows: Most US cars have wider body lines (body lines are the gap between outer shell parts of the body, and break up the aesthetic appearance of the car). Most US cars have smaller disc brakes. Most US cars use non-modern suspension (particularly in the rear). Most US cars are sloppy, and have extensive play in the steering (even brand new cars have been found to have this) What I am describing applies to most all of the other automotive markets outside of the US. Toyota is a fine example, but what I am illustrating is what each younger generation knows from the get-go: The the US automotive industry is mostly crap when you compare its cars to foreign counterparts. We as a society are raised to care nothing about buying US-made products anymore. We all know we are no longer the general quality standard for all things. We buy our goods on the cheap wherever we can find it in the world economy. Take a look in a Walmart. Tell me how much sold there is made in the USA anymore. We don't buy hardly anything made or grown in the US anymore, so why should we have such a passion for American automotive? We typically wont tolerate inferior products from other industries. As far as automobiles go; its a piece of heavy equipment. I wouldn't risk my life or the lives of loved ones and others to buy inferior products. To me thats not about saving gas money; thats about keeping my family safe (see: modern steering, brakes and suspension for accident avoidance). Manufactures like Chevrolet and Ford have repeatedly admitted that they do not use modern-standard disc brakes and suspension equipment because it would add 5K+ to the vehicle cost as well as require higher maintenance costs for the owner. I don't want to see the US automotive industry fail. But they have. They make inferior products. Its past tense. They have been living in their own little world about this for decades. Yes, this is a generalization. Because its generally true. There's no flaming here. I'm simply calling it as I've seen it. If someone can set me straight and tell me otherwise, I'd be happy to hear it. Its been a disappointment in life to see the cars I grew up loving become more and more irrelevant over time - other than for nostalgic reasons... -- ME2 On Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 5:03 PM, Eric Wittersheimewittersh...@aasmnet.org wrote: I'm sorry ME2 but this is pretty lame. There are too many different US and foreign auto companies to make this generalization.

That sounds to me like you are describing most of Toyota's lineup. Look, I'm not trying to start some kind of flame war or anything like that but I really have a problem with your last statement.

According to news reportshttp://edition.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Music/06/25/michael.jackson/index.htmlMichael Jackson's death was confirmed yesterday. The spam email appears to offer a link to a YouTube video, but instead sends the recipient to a Trojan Downloader hosted on a compromised Web site. The file offered is called *Michael.Jackson.videos.scr* (MD5: 664cb28ef710e35dc5b7539eb633abca).

Upon executing the file, a legitimate Web site at http://musica.uol.com.br/ultnot/2009/06/25/michael-jackson.jhtm is opened by the default browser in order to distract the user by presenting a news article for them to read. In the background, three further information-stealing components are downloaded and installed by the malware.

Re: OT: American automotive (was: Is Exchange Doomed?)
Thanks, I do too ;) It's actually somewhat rare to see an Orange Xterra, Nissan only made them in that color 1 year - 2003. I figure I've got another 5-6 years on driving this one. My last Nissan was a 1995 Pathfinder that I put over 220K miles on before I finally had it pried out of my hands (my husband insisted that I needed a newer, more reliable vehicle and there wasn't anything wrong with the one I had). It was a little easier when I found the Xterra to replace it with..I'm fond of my vehicles, put a lot of mileage on them and expect them to last me 10+ years, therefore, I buy Nissan. There, got us somewhat back on-topic for this OT thread. On Fri, Jun 26, 2009 at 9:49 AM, Micheal Espinola Jr michealespin...@gmail.com wrote: Nice!

RE: RIM SUPPORT
You'll have to let us know how that works out. We have 15 devices and just got the lowest support package... We are on BPS, but interestingly they did price us based on the number of devices we have as well... I found that odd, but just assumed that was how they did it... I agree though, how many devices I have should be none of their business... Though RIM has already tried their best to alienate us with Verizon's help by forcing Blackberry Storms down our throat, needless to say I'll be completing the Curve for Storm switch out TODAY and my users are already a LOT happier..

Re: OT: American automotive (was: Is Exchange Doomed?)
Thanks. It has been a great truck. I got a SuperChips programmer for it. It doesn't pull quite as much power out of it as some of the other chip/programmers available, but it came with a warranty and I like the different tuning levels based on the amount I'm towing. As soon as the factory warranty runs out, I'll be looking at removing the diesel particulate filter, which I understand is mostly responsible for the drop in fuel economy. I will say this, Its nice to see diesel prices stay consistent with current rise in gas prices. - Sean On Fri, Jun 26, 2009 at 8:39 AM, Steven M. Caesare scaes...@caesare.comwrote: Nice rig.

Re: RIM SUPPORT
We've never paid for RIM support. Instead, we call our carrier (Verizon) and have them help us and when they can't figure out the issue they implement the call to RIM. We've only had to do this about 4 times in 2.5 years. We have 110 licenses (104 in use). Maybe you can take a similar route?

Also, if your execs are like mine they like to play, and are always loading software on to their phones. If the device is low on memory, the device may start deleting new emails and appointment requests. What looks like an Exchange/BES issue is actually a device issue.

It will comfortably do 80 on the highway, once you get up to speed. Amazingly enough, doing 80 MPH in 5th gear yields lower MPG than doing 65 MPH in 5th gear. :-) -- Ben ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja~ ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja~ -- Sherry Abercrombie Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Re: OT: American automotive (was: Is Exchange Doomed?)
No gauges. The only thing I'm really missing is a boost gauge. It would be nice to have a transmission temp gauge easily viewable rather than having to cycle through the on-board options.

Thanks. It has been a great truck. I got a SuperChips programmer for it.

RE: OT: American automotive (was: Is Exchange Doomed?)
Exhaust temp is nice for protecting your turbo when running a chip/programmer. A real tranny temp gauge is nice for towing too, if your truck's factory tranny gauge was as brain dead as mine was... -sc From: Sean Martin [mailto:seanmarti...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, June 26, 2009 1:59 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: OT: American automotive (was: Is Exchange Doomed?)

Re: OT: American automotive (was: Is Exchange Doomed?)
I've made several trips in my 2002 Kia between my home near Seattle and destinations in Eastern WA (minimum trip time, 4 hours, maximum 7 hrs) at sustained speeds over 70mph, usually pushing 80. I still get 30mph, and RPM around 4500. I love the little beast, even if acceleration is dismal, and the roofer left a huge dent in the front driver-side quarter panel..
