Remember September 11th 2002, the New York Lottery came out 9-1-1? That was very coincidental.
I remember that, and I hated that. Some stockmarket (I think in Chicago) closed at 911.xx too. I don't care if they were trying to make it "in memory of". IMHO, they were being very hypocritical by playing with the numbers like that. It wasn't coincidence, it was just plain obvious that they played with the numbers.
I heard that in Texas there were reports that selecting a straight democrating ticket down the line would still select Bush for president. I wonder how many people "accidently" voted for Bush.
I used to work at Kiva Networking and we used hardware raid 5 on some machines and software raid 1 and raid 5 on others. Maybe it was just me, but the software raid 5 disks always seemed to last longer. Never much problems with it. In fact, we had more problems getting the hardware raid controller to work with Linux or with buggyness than anything.
I don't know why I'm bothering to reply. You've made it clear that you like to make assumptions, don't even try and judge people before you even know them.
I really don't care if Linux overtakes windows. Really. Linux's survival doesn't depend on it overtaking anything. Which is really nice. As long as people use, develop and enjoy it, it will continue on.
And i'm not pro-anybody. People should be pro-themselves.
Well, maybe if you'd take your head out of your ass and read some documentation instead of expecting everything to be spoon fed to you, then you wouldn't have so much trouble with Linux.
It's really not that hard once you get over that hump of compiling the kernel. People end up fooling themselves into thinking that its hard, when its not. Take a deep breath and just dive in.
Is the above really flamebait? I think this person makes an understandable point. A LOT of people aren't going to see Open Source as Open Source code, they will see it as free of cost.
For those of you that live around Bloomington, IN. Suso Technology Services will give away free copies of the live CDs (Gnome and KDE) versions. They should be ready later today like around 5pm. We'll be open til 7pm.

So its not a routing table thing then, they are actually doing it from the web server. Crazy.
It makes me wonder, how are they doing it and if they got all the IP blocks for non-us countries, or if they just went by "blocking APNIC and RIPE blocks"
No kidding. Recently we moved two of our computers from our house office into another real office. The average temperature of the upstairs floor dropped 3 degrees F. It was amazing how much heat those were generating from the CPUs and hard drives.

I just voted this morning and there has apperently been high early voter turnout for the past few weeks. I'm almost more curious to see how high of a voter turnout there will be. If it hits 81.8% or higher, it will be the highest since 1860.

Nah. There are newsgroups for that kind of stuff though.
You know, some day someone is going to do their PhD thesis on what types of words and stories are most likely to attract the attention of geeks.

Thanks, I will. I am a retard, have you no respect?
Management reasons, not technical ones.

By the way, these "machines" that I'm talking about are relatively heavily used mail servers, DNS servers, etc.

Stuck capslock? I haven't heard about this. Please, do tell.

Please mod up parent post.
Well, I doubt it. I mean Windows 98?

I think a network like that would be good in the commercial sector, I think I'll go lobby to make sure that it's open for public use. ;-)
Really, there should never be panic before development. That is when bad implementations happen. Look at the panic that led to the Patriot Act.
Haha, that's funny.

Most cassette players and VCRs can go from start to end of a tape in about 1-2 minutes. That's sad.
I mean its the begining of the end. I mean come on, I'm even using windows to post this message.
All good things come to an end?

They should make the G5 powerbooks have a teflon underside.
