Virtually every consumer DSL or cable provider have a "no server" clause in their ToS anyway
Yes, unless of course you have paid for a 'business class' DSL account with 5 static IP address and your company can use servers on this connection for outgoing/incoming email according the the TOS...then what?
Good for them. Maybe this will be the start of giving Oracle and MickeySoft the big finger about not being allowed to post benchmarks of their DB products without permission.
IMHO they are better in that area. I have an HP800Mhz lappy and a Comcraq 700Mhz lappy. Those little bastards get really hot. I'm sure part of it is the micron size, but still, a P4 desktop isn't that bad, at least in the Clevos. If I were buying some name brand Dell or Toshiba w/ a desktop P4, I would probably not be as comfortable with the idea.
Multitasking with Photoshop 7.01 et al...
while the PC's 3.06 GHz P4 is the first Pentium processor from Intel to incorporate Hyper-Threading. This is a technology that allows a single processor to run two processing threads at the same time, thereby mimicking, in a limited way, a dual processor environment.
It should be noted also that HyperThreading in this machine is NOT functioning to the best of my knowledge. This machine is a rebranded Clevo, same as the Sagers 5660. HyperThreading support is NOT enabled or existing in the BIOS according to Clevo/Sager. Maybe AlienWare has a hack I'm not aware of, but I doubt it.
I own a Sager 5660 w/ a 2.8Mhz Desktop chip, which is the same friggin thing as the AlienWare Area 51M. It is not hot. As long as it is designed properly, these machine are no hotter than anything else. I can set it on my lap without any problems. It's barely warm as the heat is routed out of the left side and rear. And even that heat is not as bad as you would be led to believe.
DSL Reports' SBC/Ameritech telco forums has a few techs helping in the forums in an OFFICIAL capacity.
I've suffered through SBC's DNS servers being setup incorrectly, a bad router, and a line problem, NONE of which I would have gotten solved without the help of the OFFICIAL tech support by SBC in those forums.
I literaly spent 5 days in phone queues and Tier 1 hell to try and confirm and get fixed reverse DNS problems with NO luck. IT was only after the official tech in the forums looked into the issues or made calls that I got things fixed.
It is clear the forums/usenet support is more efficient than phone suppport in most case IMHO.

You are absolutely correct. I should shut my pie-hole and step up to bat.
I've been spending about the last 3 weeks or so entrenched in AxKit goodness, up to my elbows in XML->XSL/XSLT->XHTML mess, so at least it's a little fresh in the brain.
I've read the http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/docsformat.ht ml page. Who can tell my what the issues are with the front page, as compared to the other sub pages? Is this a generic vs. custom template issue, or a it-just-hasn't-been-done issue?
Serious webmasters do it in Java or C anyhow, for serious speed.
If speed is your only concern for using a particular language in web development, I think you're missing ths big picture.
IMHO, the difference in speed between C/Java/Perl/PHP/ASP for web development doesn't mean squat. If you are querying a database 1,000,000 times a day for content that changes twice, you have a problem.
Pick any language you want. Who cares. When you start talking about high hit counts and high loads, more of the problem will come down to caching, push vs. pull of content, and server/cluster/network layout.
Java, along with J2EE, JSPs, and taglibs FORCE you to follow good practice and design. Its a lot harder to 'kludge' something up without still following design and OOP (granted, its still possible). Another thing I LOVE telling C++/Perl/ASP people is taglibs. No other language has anything similar. An HTML monkey, that has NO coding experience, can modify JSP's that utilize taglibs. It just produces XML that HTML monkeys view as just more HTML tags.
I think you should go to AxKit.org then and tell them they have nothing similiar:-) . It's a direct (I think) port of Cocoon from Java into Perl.
This is one of the reasons I switched from Linux to FreeBSD for now while I'm still learning.
The directory structure just seemed cleaner.
Now, with a grain of salt, other Linux distros may be just as close..i just seemed to bond to FreeBSD quicker than Redhat, Mandrake, and Suse because of the directory structure, and a FBSD "minimal" install was just that..where as some of the others "minimal" installs still have lots of stuff by default.

Oh let's see, QII, QIII, UT, UT2K3, SOFII, JKII. Yup, that about covers it. :-)
Beats hauling a desktop around, and with just as much power for almost all things.
2.8ghx, 1GB Ram, ATI M9000(64mb)
How nice it would be to have to patch my routers and switches too!
Long Live BSD!
