Memory plus an Apache child. Any solution which causes Apache to be put sleep artificially can and likely will be used as a very effective DoS against your site. Unfortunately.
That would be a marvelous feature. I wonder if someone could implement an IE thing to do that, too.
I'm still waiting for Mozilla's much-touted "pop ups create new tabs instead of windows" feature to work.

We were able to defend ourselves, though. Just having the nukes was the defense (firing them is *not* defense, that's offense).
Your argument would be more convincing if you had said that it seems silly to enter into a treaty where a nation cannot attack anothers in a particular way. Of course, there are many counter-arguments to that, so I can see why you said it the way you did.:)
"I won't accuse you of this, but most people with that viewpoint were simply brainwashed by their middle school and high school "social studies" teachers and texts. My own personal opinion is that democracy is the "tyranny of the majority", and should be avoided."
I don't know that it'd be any worse than what we have now, ie the tyranny of the people with the majority of the wealth. But then again I haven't studied it so I dunno.:)

How about we vote against anyone who participates in such deceptive practices as voice voting? At least, until they require that the results be recorded. I wish...
Noble, but the problem with this is the other guy is anti-abortion. Now who do you vote for? (Assuming you're not anti-abortion already, that is. If you are, choose another equally divisive issue.) What do you do if the other guy changes his mind while in office? The people who voted for him for his POV on the divisive issue probably don't care as much as the CBDTPA, so he won't get voted back out for that.
"Yes they are. If you charge someone an unusually high amount of money for a service they need and only you or someone who charges even more can provide, you are taking advantage of them and are being a bad person in the process."
You're welcome to go to (and pay for) law school and learn how to properly defend yourself/prosecute. You still won't have the experience more established have, but who knows, maybe after a few hundred cases, you'll have saved yourself a few bucks.
Almost nobody should be using the GENERIC kernel by default anyways. The only reason to do that is if you don't understand the kernel config file (which is, admittedly, not an easy thing to grasp for newbies).
The GENERIC kernel ought to boot just about everything, IMO, simply because it is "generic".
Does GPRS have any advantages that outweigh the restrictions on data transfer?
The SprintPCS service I get with my Handspring + PCS springboard is only $40/mo and it's unlimited in terms of transfer - it's billed by the minute instead, and when you sign up for the Wireless Web package those minutes come out of your voice allocation. IE those "200 anytime and 238472834723487 weekend minutes!" turn out to be incredible deals for those of us who are at work during the day and out at night. The speed is pretty OK - I mainly use it for ssh and it is perfectly usable. Web access is fast enough, even with images.
Call me ignorant or whatever, where is the ChangeLog for connection.c? I'm not able to find it in my tarball or on their site (maybe not looked close enough?)
I have to agree with the AC - on that they weren't beautiful. They're big ugly boxes that happened to be very tall.
(However, I'm not glad they're gone, I don't particularly care about them. It's sad that lives were lost but buildings on the other end of the country from me are another story. -1, here I come.)
It'd be even better with one of those 360 degree camera deals. Then they could take a shot at each intersection in a town without having to worry too much about catching each and every building.
"Can anyone explain to me why reading a book is better than watching TV?"
It's not automatically better. The ratio of bad books to good is, from what I can tell, actually higher than the ratio of bad TV shows to good.
Personally, I think most of the "turn off the TV and read a book" crowd are just elitists who've found something that not everyone wants to do, but has the appearance of something "better".:)
Probably not a bad idea to register your hardware (with those mail-in cards they include in the box (if nVidia doesn't, forgive me for my mistake.:)), making sure to select Linux as your OS. That way the real number counters get the message.:)
Well, nVidia isn't ALL good. The nForce drivers are not available for 95/98. Having to buy XP added about 50% to the cost of my parent's new machine, more than negating the cost advantage of the integrated motherboard.
I feel your pain man. I took an old web server and turned it in to my desktop. The thing that's keeping me from upgrading is the onboard SCSI (P2B-S, BX chipset baby! The last stable chipset in some time..). I've yet to find an AMD motherboard with onboard SCSI (granted, I have only looked in a few places but.. you'd think they'd be common from ASUS). 'course, I'm still running a p2-350, so I guess I don't feel all of your pain.;)
"If you want to avoid this problem, develop a system that has no capability to read the media that is protected. Not impossible. Create an entire open source system that avoids reading commercial media."
As long as the OS allows block-by-block access to the hard drive, how could the OS prevent you from reading "commercial media" stored there? From what I can tell, the hard drive's logic would have to be modified to handle this itself. Might as well bundle the whole filesystem logic on its firmware I guess.
I find it amusing that the (2) PERSONAL USE COPIES section you pasted only includes programming that is sent, basically, from TV and radio stations - not over the Internet. Could this mean that Internet-distributed software "delivered" to the "home" will not be exempted? (I admit, I haven't read the bill, I'm not a lawtalking guy.)
Spamcop filters your address wherever it is found in the e-mail. I don't know that it does it if it gets modified (like s/@/#/ or something), but they do a pretty good job generally.
Of course, Spamcop can be pretty irritating to providers, but that's another story.:)

Pricewatch has many links to 1GHz CPUs.
Go ahead and donate that dollar to some charity in my name. Thanks!

You mean "wireless monitor"?
Yeah, and if it was on Tom's Hardware, they'd include some practically useless commentary on how it is 5% faster if you overclock it. Woo hoo!
:)
(on that note, is there a hardware site out there that does not have this bizarre overclocking "bent"?)
