I configured the E520/E520N. Both had the exact same features (I avoided the promotional upgrade on the hard drive for the windows PC) and ended up with the exact same price. $709 for Pentium D 820, 1GB RAM, 160GB HD, 17" monitor. Interestingly enough, the FreeDos PC comes standard with only a keyboard, the only way to get a mouse is to upgrade to a wireless keyboard/mouse combo.
My school used pc-rdist to restore systems to a standard state everytime a user logs out. Now they are using something called Go-Back, it does the same thing, but its faster.
I can install whatever I want on a lab computer, I can even restart without hosing the system. When I'm done, I log out normally, and everything goes back to how it was.
The Microsoft Campus agreement at Purdue allows students to purchase one copy of WinXP, Office XP and a few others for $5 each. As well as Visual Studio.NET for $10.
There is one problem with grammer based filtering of porn sites. PORN SITES ARE BASED ON IMAGES! And lately people are replacing text with pictures of text, so what would be the point of grammer based filtering?
But if the whole pipe is filled with routing messages, ICMP, ect. Then what is the point of being able to route a packet when every major connection is refusing it? Why do I care if the internet still works when when I try to connect to/. the packets are dropped in favor of determining how to get the packet to/.
Most likely the email rate the complainant measured was the result of server load - rather than a bandwidth limitation. (It also makes a difference what time of day speeds are measured; the heavier the traffic the slower the shared connection runs.
Not in this case. I have SBC DSL service in St. Louis. A few months ago they put a notice on there web site saying that they will intentionally be limiting the download from their newsgroup servers. The bandwidth for all other DSL service is not limited. I don't use there newsgroup servers, so this really doesn't bother me. As long as they don't limit my normal banwidth, I don't care.

SWBell only limits the download speeds from their mail/news servers. A few months ago they posted an announcement on their web page about it.
