Toysoldier, This is getting old: NT Web Servers have Security Problems infoworld.com Large, commerce-oriented sites are more likely to deploy on Unix platforms, while NT is more common for intranets, said Brian Jaffe, director of network and client services at Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing in New York. "My guess is that most people are doing IIS for intranet," Jaffe said. "Over time there have been a variety of concerns with NT products. It's probably an indication that the product needs to mature, particularly if it's going to be used on the public Internet."

Hi TS, >>Baseball - "World Series" - Exactly how many other countries have a chance to vie for this title in order for it to be called a "World" series. NFL football - the commentators commonly call the SuperBowl champions - World Champions. I dont remember any other countries involved in the NFL to truely challenge for the title.>> I would say you're getting a bit absurd there. The baseball Major League legitimately claims their series as the "world series" because - like it or not - the best baseball in the world is played in our major leagues. By the way, you do have some canadian teams who are in on this as well (toronto, montreal). Yes, the super bowl really does showcase the best football teams in the world. Your canadian league is full of guys who can't make it in the nfl. Your arguments about MSFT seem fairly solid, but to argue that american professional sports don't field the best atheletes and teams in those various sports.... is absurd. Granted, there are some great european basketball players, but the "dream team" shows at the olympics and other tournaments, just how far the rest of the world has to go in order to catch up with the americans. As for hockey, maybe there you could make an argument that the Stanley Cup doesn't showcase the best hockey teams in the world... but not being a hockey fan i don't know if the NHL has ever proclaimed the stanley cup to be the world championship. As for health care, any thinking person knows that any government program like that is ultimately a ponzi scheme.. and you want that put into your constitution?... FWIW Andy
