Like, umm an information superhighway?







Like, umm an information superhighway?

Like, umm an information superhighway? 04/09/2004 04:03 PM

"That's what broadband technology is. It means we'll open the highways of knowledge -- new highways of knowledge."
-- President George W. Bush, March 26, 2004

You'd think he would at least give Al Gore credit for the metaphor.

Bush's call in the speech for universal broadband by 2007 has gotten press attention, but not the second half of his sentence:

"We ought to have a universal, affordable access for broadband technology by the year 2007, and then we ought to make sure as soon as possible thereafter, consumers have got plenty of choices when it comes to purchasing the broadband carrier."

The good news is that Bush acknowledges that only with competition will broadband be affordable and a platform for innovation.  The bad news is that he's for monopoly broadband by a date-certain three years from now, and competitive broadband "as soon as possible."  Why do I suspect his administration will do more to achieve the first goal than the second one?

MIE 7.0 Information


MIE 7.0 Information 03/17/2005 03:07 AM

From Microsoft Watch, Microsoft has been keeping details on Internet Explorer 7.0, code-named “Rincon” to themselves, but Microsoft Watch has found some information from their partners. There will be tabs, PNG support, possibly a built-in News Aggregator, and IDN support. Here’s what they said about security enhancements.

Among the myriad security enhancements Microsoft is expecting to include in IE 7.0, according to partner sources:

  • reduced privilege mode becomes the default;
  • no cross-domain scripting and/or scripting access;
  • improved Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) user interface;
  • possible integration between IE 7.0 and Microsoft's Windows anti-spyware service, which currently is in beta.
  • Partner sources say Microsoft is wavering on the extent to which it plans to support CSS2 with IE 7.0. Developers have been clamoring for Microsoft to update its CSS support to support the latest W3C standards for years. But Microsoft is leaning toward adding some additional CSS2 support to IE 7.0, but not embracing the standard in its entirety, partners say.

    I'd like to add some more information on
    the Ximia ...
    03/13/2003 10:22 AM


    I'd like to add some more information on the Ximian Evolution on Mac OS X idea. If you are connecting to a Microsoft Exchange™ server you will only be able to talk POP or IMAP to the server. There is Ximian Connector™ for Microsoft Exchange™, which will let you utilize the most useful features of Exchange (office calendaring, resource scheduling, etc...). Alas it is only for the supported (read: linux) distributions. Ximian supports Yellow Dog, but I can't find any information about PPC support for Connector.

    So, for those of you tied to Outlook, you should first find out if Outlook is tied to Exchange. If it is, Evolution on Mac OS X isn't the solution for you. In fact, I don't think Evolution on Mac OS X is the solution to anything right now as there are a number of very capable e-mail clients available. But if you need to talk to Exchange you will need to wait until Microsoft Entourage supports Exchange. Of course, the rumors are that only Exchange 2000 will be supported and not 5.5. Personally I doubt that. True it would be a very Microsoft thing to do, ensuring more people going down the upgrade path. But in reality the number of mac users in an organization probably wouldn't be able to squeak enough to get the grease that would be an upgrade to Exchange 2000. Plus, Outlook 2001 for Mac already talks to Exchange 5.5.

    It's all just speculation and rumors at this point though, especially since Exchange 2003 is getting ready to be rolled out. Boy, I can't really express how happy I am not to be an Exchange admin right now. Discuss
