If you need hardware like this, then you need Support. That's what attracts people to Sun (and now Dell, for instance). And if you need support, you'll take whatever board your System Integrator uses in their boxes. To wit: If you need this, you'll buy it from someone. If you buy it from someone, you have no choice of HW. Thus, this review is useless.
This is just another instance where lazy adminstrators and programmers use the SSN as a unique identifier. There's nothing inherent about your U.S. SSN that requires it be linked to your grades. I fight this battle all the time with health care providers and other places where you need an 'account number'. It's easy for them - you never forget it, and its guaranteed to be unique. I always force them to generate a random 9 digit number instead. Why link my medical records to my tax accounts?
This is one of the most idiotic posts I've read in a while, except for the goatse.cx people.
You thought that Sun already had a 64 bit CPU? Dude, its been out for years. And you heard that it won't run Windows? Why would you want to? Sun wants business to buy Solaris? They give it away for free, so that you buy their hardware.
Next time, try and be at least a LITTLE informed about what you're posting, and the computing industry in general.
Please. Script kiddies and Counterstrike cheaters 'tweak'. People with any credibility optimize. Since you have mentioned nothing about what your system DOES, and only a synthetic benchmark, any serious discussion is automatically terminated.
If they'll work cheaper than you, its YOUR problem, not theirs. Complain to your local Congressman/MP about the government-sponsored inflation which raises the costs of doing business where you are.
If your provider charges per computer, and you use NAT to host multiple PCs, then it is ALREADY ILLEGAL. You are violating the contract which outlines your terms of service, and can be sued or have your service terminated.
If the standards exist, its the fault of the client vendor if they don't support them. Commercial vendors (MS) have vested interest in locking users into their proprietary messaging system. There is no financial incentive to broaden their horizons, so to speak. If you want a client-independent calendaring solution, look at something purely web-based. If the HTML is 'standard' enough, every browser on every OS will be able to understand it.
Sure we can get rid of her, STOP READING OSNEWS. Without the page hits, their ad revenue drops, and they Go Away. Shrug. Refuse to buy (by reading it) their product. Vote with your 'wallet' (and mouse button).
Who are these people to review anything, if their review consists of skimming the surface and focusing on their pet peeves? Thats how flamewars start - bickering over window managers. Let's talk REAL functionality, things like auto-detection of hardware, capabilities of the install kernel, etc.
And before you start jeering and making stupid jokes about it, remember that only 30 years ago the idea that human pollution could affect our athmosphere and the seas, was regarded as utter nonsense and hysteria. And it still is. Remember the Slashdot article about the sun getting hotter? Ever hear of something called "crustal rebound" - the North American plate is rising some mm's per year due to the released weight of the ice shelf 15,000 years ago - that is releasing heat. Add the fact that volcanoes have released more uranium into the atmosphere than all the nuclear testing, EVER... what do we learn here boys and girls? The Earth is a pretty big fscking place, with rhythms and flows of much longer period than we typically think about. Do you have any idea how big the ocean is in terms of thermal mass?

Any post with the term " 'puter " is automatically rendered irrelevant.

Microsoft is usually stuck where the Sun DON'T shine,
And its a beautiful thing.

The ends never justify the means.
CmdrTaco, lovechild of the Internet dotcom explosion, uses an analog modem? This isn't April Fool's Day anymore.
If you can kill 80-90% of your spam on the server end, and end up with 2 or 3 spams per day, even on a modem its tolerable. Geesh.
Go drink more coffee.
Sounds just like Microsoft.
Yeah, yeah, -1 Troll.

Dude, its a joke.

Excellent, gotta love the GUI!
And if you find one, DJB will pay you.
Set the key:
v ic es\Tcpip\Parameters\IPEnableRouter
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Ser
to "1" and reboot. Now you are a router.

Too bad you can't mod entire articles.
