RHEL is $1500? Egad! They really are the Microsoft of the Linux world.
Oracle is a beast to install on any platform. I had to jump through many hurdles getting it to run on Solaris 9 here and it was just for a test server.
3-6 months? I once didn't use my AIM account for 2 years, and signed onto it one day and it still worked, old contacts and all.
I found something in the OSCAR protocol with reference to: "Account delete request" and "Account delete reply", but I don't know of any client that makes use of this.
It would be nice to be able to delete AIM accounts off AOL's servers.
No. You are way off base. Disobeying laws are what made this country great. Boston tea party ring any bell? Another poster cited the "Fugitive Slave Act". Also an excellent example.
Perhaps you need to go back to your history books and find out what it truly means to be an American.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
Voting with $$$ doesn't really work anyway. Microsoft has so much money it doesn't matter, besides, they use packs of lawyers to whittle away at what ever consumer freedoms we still have left.
(Corporate lawyers have done a great job at destroying the United States' ability to revoke corporate charters since the end of the Civil War.)
Build a Linux box, use QoS and cbq.init

Traffic Shaping on DSL?

My recommendation, keep that Windows box behind the firewall box (let the fw box NAT for it). Run Linux or BSD on the firewall box.
If you're using Linux on the firewall machine, make sure you enable QoS and ALL the modules in it. Then grab cbq.init and set up the traffic shaping rules. The script file is well documented.
I used to run a BBS in North Jersey called "Storm Surge". It was the most fun I ever had! I ran it for about 6 years with T.A.G. (tho it was WWIV for a little while.)
Ahh the good old days.. I had an internal 1200 bps modem (a PS/2 modem that was a microchannel card!) and it didn't like my friends' 2400 bps modem (he ran a BBS too) so my little 1200 stepped down to 300. It was hilarious!
I ran my BBS under OS/2, so I could do stuff in DOS while the BBS was up. I remember it taking hours to set up different doors and getting them running the way I wanted to.
I wish those days would come back. Anyone know a way to run an old DOS BBS under DOSEMU and make the incoming telnets to a port act like incoming serial lines? That would kick ass.

I've never been able to find the option to actually -delete- an AIM account. Has anyone else?
Does this mean Pringles sales will go down sharply? ;)
If they didn't make such shite films, maybe they wouldn't have this problem.

Believe it or not, our Researchers use a lot of FORTRAN. The mathematical products also commonly used here are SAS (v8), SPlus, and more recently, R.
I'm getting the DRI driver is out of date when I try to use it. Yes, I also use the XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps and that fixes the GTK theme corruption.
It's getting there, but I still hate the i810 chipset. Give me an NVidia or Radeon any day.
Maybe Debian will fix the XVideo bug so I can play my Mplayer movies with Xv instead of the crappy x11!
They were failing in record numbers here where I work. I was one of the victims but fortunately, I backed everything up before it died.
Fujitsu released a firmware upgrade for them, but it didn't work and the drives failed anyway.
We had a lot of pissed off people with lost work, but there's not a lot you can do about that.
Now the newly-outsourced IT dept. here wants to switch us all to IBM Netvistas.
I am very good friends with his daughter Ann. She was with him quite a lot these past few months.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Capitalism is a short-sighted system that puts profits before people, dollars before the environment.

Leech seems to install properly only if you run it as root. (It wanted my to have write access to /usr/local/mozilla/chrome dir.)
It doesn't work as a user. Weird.
How come FreeBSD has no cardbus support?
That's the only thing keeping me from running it on my laptop.

I can pick up the dot just fine under stella.
Hmm.. are you in the right room?
Anyone know why Stella pins the CPU at 100%?
It's bizarre!
I installed it twice, and every time I restarted Mozilla, it's not there.
It's not even under View -> Show/hide.
I guess they may have to release an update for it.

Sorry this link is dead.. Google cache will bring it up, but I can't get to the script itself.
Anyone have a mirror? I'd love to have this!

I grabbed the latest 2.5.xx kernel and then after compiling it, realized the bloody NVidia drivers will not compile for it!
I think my next card will be an ATI Radeon 8500. I've had enough of NVidia's crap.
It was generally called "World War Four" by us. :( )
I ran WWIV v3.12 for a time. I was on WWIVNet too!
