If this is a cheapie P3/Celeron Dell, based on an 815 chipset, that would explain the two slots. 815 chipsets are limited to 512 meg of ram, no matter what you do.
2 x 256 fills that up nicely, there's no point in having 3 slots, what are you going to do, 2 x 128 + 1 x 256? Just doesn't make sense.
And the key difference there, is that you made a diligent effort to fix their mistake.
It's like finding a hundred dollar bill on the ground that someone just dropped in front of you. You go up to them, tell them you saw them drop it, and it's theirs.
They insist it's not yours. You continue to tell them its theirs, and back and forth. Finally you give up after arguing with the guy for 5 minutes, and pocket the bill.
They see you on the street 6 months later, and demand their 100 dollar bill back, or they'll call the police.
In this isp's case, you took the bill, didn't tell the person in front of you, followed them around, and kept picking up the bills they dropped. When they reviewed security camera footage of the area later, realized you were the one that took the 100 dollar bill, you deny it, and then sue them when they tell you to stop following them.
Have a tivo that has profiles. If you want to record something, tell it to record. If it already exists on someone else's profile, the Tivo will just symlink to it.
when the other person deletes it, it knows there's still a symlink to your personal list, that you haven't deleted your copy, and keeps it.
Last person to delete it, the Tivo actually deletes the file.
It's generally accepted practice AND documentation.
If one of your drives dies on the chain, sometimes it'll take the other drive on the chain offline with it. As well, you can't hotswap in a drive if there's another one on the chain. AND, it makes cabling more difficult when you have to put the two drives near enough to reach for the cable.
And the escalade is generally accepted as one of the best cards out there. They were discontinued, yes. But now they're back, they have 4,8, and 12 port models. As well, they have Serial ATA cards.
Twelve drives per card, multiple cards allowed.(I've heard of 5 controllers in a machine being used, however, PCI bus speed is an issue long before even the second controller goes in)
The Promise 6000 is a 6 drive controller. You can't do that doubled up of master and slave on each controller that you planned on doing.
At about 400 a drive for the WDC 200gb, that's 4800 dollars.
Much more cost effective to buy another controller, and do 20x120 gig, at around 120 a drive. Total cost 2400, and another 500 for a 7500-12. Even buying 15 160's at 230 apiece, total 3450 makes more sense.
Buy some 5 3.5" in 3 5.25" hotswap trays at about 150 apiece. There are also 3-4U cases with 15 hotswap trays up front.
You'll just need a case that has 9-12 external 5.25" bays, and you're all set.

I've thought about getting their pager watch, but unfortunately the coverage in canada is limited to where you're close to the border :D

"According to Carter, Inter.net presented her with a $214 charge for 14 months of service that had gone unbilled because of an accounting error."
Sound more like she wasn't billed, and for 14 months kept using the service, even though she
knew she wasn't being billed.
"Carter said she agreed to pay half, an arrangement the company initially accepted but later rejected."
And then on top of it, when they realized she wasn't paying, she tried to get out of paying for what she owed.
57F here.(13.5C)
And they're based in Panama
Wonder if they think they'll be immune from any lawsuits/etc that way.
I think i saw something about removing this in a late 2.5.x kernel
Some of the old-time Demo groups (and warez groups) would put very nice VGA demos in 4k as well.
Jordan Ritter definately needs a major part in this movie.
And don't forget the stonewalling from the company on what the moderators are supposed to and not supposed to be doing.
And then killing the mod program when they didn't feel like fixing it.
Oddly enough, my P4/2.4 runs much cooler than my previous p3/700
The 3ware escalade series supports delayed startup automatically if the drive supports it(can't think of any offhand that do though)
Great. Now we've got hard drives AND capacitors to spin/charge up when you hit the power button.
Why don't we just connect up a space heater to the 12v lines to drag them down further?
2 ** 72 / 2 ** 64 = 2 ** 8 = 256
256 times as many keys, going to take a lot more cpu time than that, especially with a lot of cpu's running the OGR challenge instead of RC5
You can setup a batch file to import a ".ini" file into your registery, and when you are done with putty, export it back to that file.
Tivo needs to figure out something like symlinks.
Have a tivo that has profiles. If you want to record something, tell it to record. If it already exists on someone else's profile, the Tivo will just symlink to it.
when the other person deletes it, it knows there's still a symlink to your personal list, that you haven't deleted your copy, and keeps it.
Last person to delete it, the Tivo actually deletes the file.
What's wrong with the Return-Path: in the headers?
Works just fine here.

Indeed.
But in some cases, even that isn't accurate.
I've got an HP 1120C at the office here.
Rated for 5.5 pages per minute.
I've actually timed it at 8 minutes per page.
Even dumping out blank pages barely hits the 7 pages per minute that it is supposed to do in black draft.
If you can't beat them,
Hire them.
A battery that is loaded down heavily will recover somewhat when the load is removed.
Last I heard, GPS units aren't allowed on planes. At least one of my flights had GPS units under the list of banned items onboard.
Haven't seen any 200gb SCSI drives. And if I did, figure on probably 1500 a drive.. so 36000 instead of 3000.
Quite a price difference.
The 3ware cards support JBOD
