Your system appears to burn at least. 50 watts of electricity, so 2 years of always on equals $87, so now you are up over $400 in cost. If you have a hot spare (you DO have a hot spare?) then you are talking almost $800.
This system uses approx. 5 watts, $9 of electricity in 2 years, so the total cost is $150. With a hot spare you are still less than $300.
Your WRT54G is 100 Mb Ethernet and it is costing you a lot more than $30 or even $140 to sit there waiting for stuff to copy between your machines.
Even gigabit ethernet is slowing down my internal network. Any one of the computers in my house can saturate it. I can't even imagine going back to 100 Mb.
I suppose you posted anonymously because you don't want to be held to account for your predictions.
"are the employees of your company using social network at work?, if so, why on earth don't you block the access to this sites?"
You can't block access to these sites for employees that work out of the office.
If the wifi signal from the coffeehouse next door is leaking through your walls, you can't even block access to employees in the office, unless you firewall inside every box, lock down every box, and forbid employees from using their own gear on the premises. Good luck with that.
Unless mind-control techniques have improved significantly. there is no firewall that will prevent people from carrying information out of the building inside their own heads, to be later uploaded using equipment totally beyond your control.
it made a total hash out of what I was trying to do. But he lost the source code, so I couldn't prove that he did it. Of course we couldn't fix it either. It was in code that calculated people's paychecks. He got fired. I quit.
How is "less logical" to function robustly under a load of hundreds of developers checking in code while build jobs are simultaneously checking out code? How "less logical" is it for a single server to be able to hold the entire code reserve of a large software company and serve it to all its users? There is no other product that will function as well as Perforce under such a load.
How has the task of revision control changed over time to warrant adding new features? Did it ever occur to you that Perforce is a Stable product and many of us enjoy working with it just as it is?
Here in Northern New England, our telephone company is Fairpoint Communications.
Their billing system is so messed up that the state of New Hampshire will not allow them to disconnect delinquent accounts.
They will undoubtedly be filing for bankruptcy within a year or two.
Fairpoint was not prepared for this. They are a miserable little two-bit operation and have no business even attempting to handle over a million land lines.

Runs linux like a champ.
It is NOT Sun. It is SPARC Inrternational.
Point your enthusiasm and anger in a more productive direction, please.
This is not Sun Microsystems!
It is SPARC International.
There are you happy now?
Perhaps you are a bit quick on the draw with your unwarranted criticism.
"wanted to stay with Microsoft"
Where did that come from? NYSE has used Motif-based apps on HPUX and Linux for years and years.

There is no alternative to having a hot spare.
If you work from home it is pretty much required. Maybe even two hot spares. I do.
Figure out what a even morning of downtime will cost you and it is really quite cheap.
If you have two hot spares then you have some breathing space to experiment with firmware upgrades.
Your routerstation is 100 Mb Ethernet. This box is gigabit.
You are comparing a Yugo with a Ferrari, network performance-wise.

VMS is very much still in production:
- ported to Itanium
- fully supported by HP
- IPv6 compliant
- java, apache, etc. available
Funny at Microsoft's expense == -1, Offtopic
That works out to two days, using my Microsoft calculator.
Really, this is just silly.
How much time do you spend working with a computer during its lifetime? What does that work out to, in dollars?
Now how does that compare to the price of the hardware?
How much of your time will you expend in terms of the price difference in the hardware?
If you think that a better system will save you that much time in the life of the computer, it's a no-brainer.
People who work with their tools every day do NOT go scraping the bottom of the barrel when they shop for their tools. They go for the good stuff.

"getting stale."

They understand revision control. Documents are to lawyers what code is to software developers.
Didn't the FCC rule a long time ago that the telephone company cannot place restrictions on what a customer hooks up to the phone service?
Don't tell me it's not a telephone. It is sold as a telephone and it comes with telephone service. That makes it a telephone.
VMs can break into their host machine.
Read the paper presented at the recent BlackHat Conference.
Servers already have "lights out" management processors that perform similar functionality.

Of course Comcast is loving every minute of it.
One requirement is a good supply of names so you don't run out.
Futurama characters: There are plenty of them, and you can be clever.
City names: you'll never run out. You can assign geographic regions to subnets.
Make them clever and mnemonic in some way! That way you won't confuse w1230fc2 with w1320fc2
"IMHO you are poorly representing the GPL. "
How is upholding its terms "poorly representing" it? You have it precisely backwards.
If you are unable or unwilling to abide by GPL, there is a whole world of BSD software available for you.
And then his roadies would glue it back together so he could use it again.
I live very close to stores from both companies and only pay cash at them now.
