  1. Like an iPhone, but bigger. So less portable, can't make calls and costs you more than twice the price. Yep, it's a winner!
  2. Yeah, usually I'd just take the SD card out, and replace it upon return
  3. Bit of an inconvenience. Won't you lose all your stuff? Have updated original post and removed that now.
  4. In my opinion, invalidating the warranty isn't the ideal solution to getting a working featureset out of a phone.
  5. Why would you want an iPhone? Everything that comes as standard with other smartphones is lacking on the iPhone. No expandable memory No replaceable battery No MP3 ringtones No SMS groups No bluetooth file transfer 3G: No MMS No video recording 2 megapixel camera Non-replaceable battery 3GS: 3 megapixel camera - no flash, no shutter button. No videocalls functionality No FM radio If any other manufacturer had made a phone that sucked as much as the iPhoned did, nobody would touch it. We've recently had two members of staff at the school who asked us to help set our email up on them, and they've both complained at how many decent features they lack.
  6. One way might be to re-produce the actual HTML form in a local webpage, with the username already filled in, prompt the user for their password and submit it to the same place that the official form goes to. This way, the server is getting everything it expects from the original form. Can you upload the code from the login.aspx page (go to it then View > Source) as a text file so I can have a look please to see if that would work? (ASP can sometimes be problematic with the way it handles forms).
  7. @glennda: Found this on a forum. Any good? FAO - UK based Nexus One Owners (prospective & current) - Nexus One Forum - Google Phone Forum
  8. This is what it really looks like... http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4054/4308936484_3d4ee92c1f.jpg Picture copyright Paul J White.
  9. I'm just waiting for my new bank card. Then I'll simultaneously get a contract SIM and the Nexus
  10. Even fixing IT stuff? Maybe PfS should take her on as a sponsor for BSF.
  11. I would imagine places like Yahoo would have lots of caching and lots of distributed data systems for storage, web access etc. AFAIK Yahoo! Mail isn't strictly Zimbra, it just uses a lot of technology from it. It's not really fair to compare MSexChange to Zimbra when it comes to disk usage - they're entirely different pieces of software (using different components) running on different operating systems using different filesystems. From my point of view, Zimbra would have no reason to warn against it, unless it actually caused problems. That's enough for me (and hundreds of others) not to use it. But yes, for very large installations it would be wise to split the roles over multiple boxes. I use "very large" as a fairly loose term
  12. There's a huge hit in write performance on RAID5 (compared to RAID1/0 - it's got to duplicate the written data and do it's parity magic), and with a system like Zimbra there is a lot of writing to disk. With hundreds of concurrent client connections expected to be supported at one time, lots of MySQL activity and logs it all adds up. From the horse's mouth... I'm assuming a single-server setup, so separating those filesystems from the rest just for the sake of using RAID5 seems counter-intuitive.

  14. Sounds canny good like
  15. Yeah, too much like Facebook Happy birthday to you both! Hope you've had a great day
  16. Stick some more RAM in it (Java loves memory) - with that amount of users it will probably sit comfortably with 6-8GB in total. Try to avoid RAID5 unless you want it to crawl (as mentioned in the requirements). Disk space would depend on what you plan on using it for (just mail+calendar, or briefcase/documents etc) and how generous your user quotas are going to be. For example, if you give staff 500MB and students 50MB, take into account OS + logs etc, you'll be creeping close to 300GB. 2x 500GB disks in a RAID1 configuration would probably be adequate, but use LVM if you think you'll need more space in the future. There's lots of IO with Zimbra, so the fastest 15k SAS disks you can get would make it happy. A little bedtime reading for you Also - notes for virtualisation.
  17. Nexus One QR Code Scanned
  18. For me; Google integration, open source and available apps are the main winners.
  19. Missing option: tomato sauce
  20. *yawn* Monday already?
  21. How about... Or personalised from the Google people themselves:
  22. Upgrade him to v2 to unlock the following features: Damp feet = aircon leak. Excessive coughing = fire.
  23. That yellow card is just testament of your aversion to good puns!
  24. Oh god Let the puns begin...
