I built my own server in a Coolermaster Stacker case with an 8 channel SATA RAID controller and hot-swappable drive bays. But then again I'm a geek who does this for a living and wouldn't expect your average home user to do anything even remotely similar.
I think the real truth is the PC manufacturers are scared because the market is saturated and they're trying to come up with new ways to get consumers to buy their shit.
"Hey, mister. You gotta help me. These two guys work me night and day. They don't feed me, they make me sleep on the floor. They put anti-freeze in the wine and they gave my red hat to the donkey.
What Microsoft faces in 2007 is not going to be the lack of OEMs selling Vista for them, but the unraveling of its monopoly position and its ability to mislead the world again with promises of new, next generation technology just around the corner. We know better than that now. So? Tell us something we don't know. Microsoft makes operating systems and office/productivity apps, and that's about it; nothing magical or "next generation" about that. Don't expect "next generation" and you won't be disappointed. BTW Linux is still staring at its own navel...
I don't know why they don't just ban emails with stupid images anyways ...because the fucktard office lusers that want to stick cutsey gifs in their signatures or fancy stationery would whine incessantly! Believe me if I could ban images I would, but that would kill about 95% of the e-mail lusers on my network.
I hope these kids don't have televisions, wireless phones, or god forbid cellphones. I also, for the sake of the CHILDREN, hope they don't go outside ever where they will be bombarded by RADIATION from a gigantic nuclear furnace! The horror!Why do you think I'm down here in the basement where it's cool and dark?
Oh come now..."criminal"?!? He was a student there! Besides, not only is Tasering for so-called "criminal trespass" excessive, but it smacks of the police acting as judge, jury, and executioners. Citizens of a free society have a duty to oppose such jackbooted tactics.
What's next? Worst Buy door-nazis tasering shoppers who refuse to consent to having their bags searched?
Louis XVI's Versailles palace guards were attacked (and defeated). At some point it may become necessary to do just that...are we there yet? Tasering some guy because he doesn't have ID tells me we might be close.
.. what I'm curious about is who checks that the RIAA hasn't already put a claim in for this particular song somewhere further up the chain? ie. person A shares a file that persons B,C & D download. RIAA files a suit against person A, claims $750 damages. Person A pays. RIAA now files suits against B,C & D (who are now also sharing the file) claiming $750 from each of them too, even though, in theory the claim against person A was for ALL downstream sharing too.
So maybe what P2P software writers ought to do is add a checkbox to their program that says "I've been reamed by the RIAA...you can now download all of my songs without fear of penalty as your right to do so has been paid for".
This guy's government ruled his people with brutal disregard for human rights. People were raped and tortured before they systematically dissapeared.
...and this is different from the current state of affairs in Iraq HOW exactly? Perhaps Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al ought to be sharing the gallows with him.
Oh I see what you are doing now. The spam blocker I'm currently using has a tarpitting function which both Hotmail and Gmail don't like, as they appear to treat the delay as a non-delivery and resend the message repeatedly.
I've tried it...Hotmail freaks out with tarpitting and sends the same message over and over again every hour for about two days. So does Gmail. Fastmail, strangely enough does not...need a web mail account? Use Fastmail.
Greylisting is by far the best solution that I have tested so far...1000+ a day has been cut down to about 6-10 a day organization wide.
"People should not be afraid of their government - Governments should be afraid of their people"
Actually no. If the frigging government is doing its job correctly, there would be no need for it to be afraid of its people! That dubya needs to be sequestered behind armour ought to tell you something.

You know you could...oh I don't know...maybe patch ONE server and then write a script that would sync the other 6999 servers with it!

The chariot and horse's ass as a determiner of standard gauge for railroads story, while entertaining, is untrue.
But in town it was well known when they got home at night, their fat and psychopathic wives would thrash them within inches of their lives!

Why in hell can't they just wear tinfoil hats like the rest of us?

Give me a break...at least I didn't say "Googling"...
Jail? For adminning an indexing site?
When are they going to lock up the Google admins?!?
