Why does Microsoft's ASP.Net use web.config text files for its settings?
Let's face facts, they're both pretty good and Apache seems to be more secure. If you're an MS shop though, IIS is almost certainly the way to go because it would easier to integrate
I have tele2. It's very good when it works, but they seem to have a lot of problems with their hardware. My connection was down for two days last week when the box lost its settings, and the base station went down yesterday for about 6 hours.
Was really pleased when I first got it - was downloading ISO's at 400kb/s! That soon dropped back to 50 or 60 though:(
One other thing I should mention is that, although they don't advertise it, all tele2 connections have a static ip address. Useful!
Yeah I like MSI boards too.. they seem to specify bigger caps than the other manufacturers, I can only guess that this smooths out the powers supply somehow.
You don't have to restart the server in order for IIS (not the kernel) to release the server side components. You can simply restart the service, or shutdown the MTS package if the web site is running out of process
The reason of course for the choice of the USB protocol is due to the ubiqity of its implementatino in modern hardware. This gives the product a greater target audience, and provides the supplier with a greater ROI
Sun is putting the Intel version of its Solaris Unix OS in the deep freeze, citing support and development costs as the reason. There won't be an x86 version of Solaris version 9 this year, but Sun will support existing versions for seven years, Solaris marketing director Graham Lovell told IDGyesterday. More charitably - or gullibly if you're being cruel - CNet interpreted the same news as a "delay".
But as you know, the body's metabolism can be fatally impaired by spending too long in the cold, and no version 9 this year effectively means the end of Solaris on x86.
It's been maintained at great expense over the past nine years, and only last October was refreshed with USB support, for example. But Sun has only ever seen a miniscule market share as a reward, and of course precisely no downstream hardware revenue, because Sun doesn't sell Intel servers.
And the expenses keeps piling up. Just ask Be, Inc. There are more chips and chipsets to support than ever before, and Foster, and the SMT Foster, and AMD's Athlon XP, and Athlon SMP and Sledgehammers either here or on their way.
However, users on the busy Solaris on Intel mailing lists were not happy bunnies last night, pointing out that the x86 version maintains mindshare and offers a cheap way to bring new recruits into the Sun fold.
"You've killed the dream, Sun. New admins *DON'T* have a way to learn about Sun on the cheap," wrote one user.
"Mindshare is a terrible thing to waste," punned another. "It's expensive to develop, hard to measure and difficult to correlate to earnings, yet very important to long term success. This will be the biggest casualty if Solaris x86 is abandoned."
And there's already a "Save Solaris on x86" page up and running here.
I suspect that you have too much time on your hands.
Why not learn a new craft such as cross-stitch or boatmaking, or perhaps join your local school governors' association? I certainly would do in your position.

... you'll find it saves time and impresses your peers. (N.B. I can't guarantee it'll get you laid but the odds would shift in your favour)

Probably not a great deal. Remember that when you're 'scraping' from HTML, you don't have to load images, css resources etc

Well I was wrong now that I think about it. RPM's would be correct of course if it were 'Revolutions Per Minutes' but it aint so there we go
RPM's is more correct that RPMs, but yeah both are wrong. - J

Money, money, money.
You might also want to factor in the gamut of pros and cons against the money (cost/benefit)
Go here for bootdisk images of:
MS-DOS
Windows 95, 98, Me
PC-DOS
Digital Research DR-DOS
NovellDOS
Caldera OpenDOS
Lineo DR-DOS
Also has the other stuff you need like a SCSI CD-ROM driver, MSCDEX etc
Or is it too much to ask for? I don't even think there are any plans for HDTV over here either
Wokingham is only 20 miles from or so from Basingstoke where the now infamous Cloud 9 ISP was (is?) based

The so called DDOS attack was in actual fact the side-effects of 120 CoolTown refridgerators and 45 toasters downloading stock quotes. Case closed
Which is why you have to choose people that you trust to work with

Ho hum. At least there are always New Scientist and Nature to satisfy our urges

This isn't too dissimilar to the ebay phenomenon. I sell quite a lot on there simply because it goes for so much more than any by any other means
I think 'auction fever' really does play a part in this
49 quid... where??? It's £99 everywhere I've seen it. If it really is £49 I've finally solved the problem of what to get my Dad for Christmas :)
MS have stated that when XP becomes unsupported, they'll release a patch to disable product activation
Windows 2000 is every bit as usable as XP. I'm using it now and wow, it actually works fine! XP is more like Windows 2000 V1.1 I'd say
NT4 wasn't bad either. Ignore Win 9x, they weren't anything more than platforms for playing games on

We've only just put their cancer cure on hold to help SETI look for lights in the sky. And now this??

Give it some thought.
