Circa 1990, while in college at Lawrence University I ran RyBBS, written by Greg Ryan, from my dorm room (in Plantz Hall, the jock dorm) at night, from 7pm to 7am. The hardware was a Tandy IBM 8088 and a 2400 baud modem. Memories:
Forgetting to turn it on, answewing a phone call, and hearing a shy female voice timidly ask "Um, is the BBS running?" I said "oops, I'll turn it on now," hung up, fired the BBS up, and proceeed to have a conversation with the caller.
My friends complaining that when they would try to call me they would be greated with a shrieking sound.
Whenever a converstation with the sysop (me) was requested, my printer would print out the request. (I don't recall why this was a good idea. Maybe something to do with multitasking.) One of my friends told this girl that would hang out in my room that I was running a speech recognition program and my computer was processing our conversations. She believed him.
People have posted links to 3-button mice already, including the cheap memorex and belkin mice and the costly perfit mice.
You can get ten three-button logitechs for $59.99 from CompUSA. You should get ten, because they are an endangered species.
I found these when I was lamenting the demise of 3 button mice. In despair I bought a 7-button logitech with scrollwheel. I never knew what I was missing. I will never go back.
The real challenge would be to find a ~$20 3-button optical mouse (for PCs, not Sun).
"NASA Ground-tests Ion Engine." If I remember my APA style guide correctly, when forming a compound verb the parts should be joined with a hyphen unless the compound word is in the dictionary (i.e., the on-the-fly construction of the compound word is frequent). There are some exceptions to this rule as well, such as the hyphens aren't dropped if doing so would create confusion of the word with another word. It goes on and on...
So boring, in fact, that in the picture they felt the need to throw in a corn cob, a telescope, a burlap sack (woo! fun!) and some fetish gear (!) as props.
I went to a U Washington CSE collqium given by a guy from Google. Their clusters have such a heat issue that they can't keep the racks next to each other. Somebody asks why they didn't use Transmeta CPUs. I beleive the guy's response was that, even taking into account the additional space and cooling requirements, Pentium-based systems still cost less than Transmeta-based systems.

Congratulations on surviving/.ing. I have a few questions.
How were LVS and HA configured?
With two systems, I can only guess that each was a real server (using the LVS terminology). Also both would be load balancers, with one being selected as active using HA.
How did using HA or LVS help surivive a/.ing? Were there failovers? How many? When? Why? If surviving/.ing consisted of a high rate of failovers then the hardware wasn't up to the job.
What is the "automated backup system?" Are you rsyncing the contents? From each other? From another system? Or does it refer to regular "tar" backups to tape?
Having separate UPSs is overkill, unless the one UPS could not handle the load of both systems.
Is there any dynamic content on the servers? Databases? How was keeping these synchronized handled?
The Cisco VPN client isn't available on Linux unless you are using x86-compatible CPUs. All other architectures are left in the dust, as usual, with the naive Linux-x86 users boasting that it supports Linux.

Are You Using 802.1X?

· Score: 1
About six months ago I tried top get 802.1x to work with FreeRadius and Xsupplicant using and Orinoco Ap500 and and Orinico Gold PCMCIA card under Linux. I couldn't get it to work, though I think it was due to misconfiguation of the Ap500. No attempt to contact the RADIUS server was ever made.
I gave up and went with IPsec, which worked for my needs.
Try Pro-boxing. Undefeated in one bout with Barney.

The Antec SX1040BII definitely has a filter for the intake fans, as indicated in the link and because I have one. It doesn't meet your requirements because it has 4x80mm fans, not 2x120mm. The one I got has a good Antec Truepower 400W power supply. It was $80 at CompUSA (I needed a case fast).
I would suspect that since there is not explicit mention of a filter on Antec's page for the SLK3700AMB that it doesn't have a filter.
You may want to head over to the Case and Cooling Fetish forum at Ars Technica and search for filter-related posts. Some members there know their stuff. The two tips I gleaned were:
Have positive pressure in the case, i.e., more suck than blow. Otherwise, air will be sucked in through the cracks in the case, not the filters.
Used fabric softener sheets make good filters. Others in the forum have found cheap filter material at Home Depot.
Technically, I don't think there is any reason why this couldn't happen. However, it wouldn't work in the current hierachy because the root name servers would become overloaded. However, if we added implicit dots between each letter (or two letters) then at each letter (or group of two letters) only 26 different (or 676) name server records would need to be kept. There would be additional IN A records but there shouldn't be that many.
Now, to look up brian.norton we certainly don't want to have to do 11 DNS requests. Caching would become very important. The TTLs would need to be very large. Possibly, the entire caching mechanism would need to be redesigned, e.g., cache forever until told the data has changed the IP addrs of name servers for n, on, ton, rton, orton, norton, nnorton, annorton, iannorton, riannorton, and briannorton (in this scheme the dots would become syntatic sugar). Any changes would be propagated up so that if the name server for nnorton changed the next time a query for www.brian.norton was made the result would contain the additional information that the name server for nnorton has changed and the client should ask the name server for norton what the new name servers for nnorton are.
I despise CDE. Not for its obtuse configuration scheme, but rather for the fact that it has so many security holes. ToolTalk especially is the bane of my existence. Take a look at what CERT has to say about CDE. Whoever coded CDE should be fired.
What happens when it becomes easy to get a whole CD from the Internet? You are relying on a technical accident. Once this problem is fixed, downloading mp3s isn't like airtime. If you hear a song you like, you download the rest of the CD. What would be your view then?

That would be ASCI (Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative), not ASCII. Character sets: easy. Simulating detonation of nuclear weapons: hard.
It is possible to build under linux using a cross-compiler and some .h files from the NT or Sun versions. I've done it and it works.

Actually, I think the word OneIsNotPrime was looking for is "scrumpdillyishus." HTH. HAND.
Good points. I stand corrected. Thx. :).

Huh? This seems wrong. Evaluating an array in a scalar context should return the size of the array, not an array reference.

I'm not sure what you mean by "program."
However, you may wish to go PocketPC's Open Source Portal. There you can get gcc (which includes g++ I suspect) or vim.
Damn, I proofread everything except the title. It should be: Antec SX1040BII if 4x80mm fans are okay.
