1-877-4LEVEL3. They'll gobble 'em up with all that Warren Buffet money. Soon, when there's a Level3 story, you can wrap a little Borg-icon like/. has on Gates.
I've got the Honeywell Hepa (that round thing that makes a lot of noise -- never did replace the main inner filter -- probably distributing around 10 year old cat dander); three Sharper Image ionizers (one for my basement, one upstairs, and, well, one out of commission -- great, but expensive to buy, and cheap to maintain).
I'm currently in the market to find a nice high room volume air cleaner, so naturally, I went to Air Cleaners.com. The guys are funny loons, but they know what the hell they're talking about. 5 year guarantee on the Austin Air series, which is what my company is probably going to pick up (a couple units).
There's no good way around it. Get all of your stuff done right now, because surely, you don't plan on being a zero-revenue company forever. And when the time comes for employees, you might as well have a good working relationship with an accountant so he/she can be sure to get your things in line... payroll taxes, estimated taxes, etc.
For a simple company having your books and taxes done should be around a few hundred bucks.
My buddy has a flat panel that is huge (from Gateway) -- but the text/fonts look like an Atari 2600. Look for a wicked dot pitch, and if you're store shopping, crack open a word processor or command prompt, and look at the quality of the plain text fonts. With monitors, you always get what you pay for. And I agree -- you have to see it in person. And lastly, from this non-expert, I recommend that you look for dead pixels when you take it home. Download a shareware dead pixel detector, and look for those dead pixels on the LCD. (assuming you're picking up an LCD/flat-panel) If there are a lot, take it back for another.
We have to pay an additional $1.75 per MONTH for this new "number portability". Listen, at the end of the day, I don't feel bound to my cell phone number. Hell, it helps me weed out the people that I don't want to have it. I think this should be an option for each consumer -- you make the decision when you sign up, as to whether or not you want to keep that number, not some mandate across the board. And, as a whamy, if you want to keep your number when you change providers, you pay $1.75 x [number-of-months-you-have-had-that-number-in-serv ice].
Think about it -- it's another $21.00 a year. It's really not worth it. So now, we have another new law and new tax -- how convenient.

Carl Levin and Debbie Stabnenow should be receiving my letters shortly. Hopefully, they, or someone on their staff with any concern for civil liberties, will read them. Seriously, if you've taken the time to go to the site and read about it and you want to do something, don't be a pud -- write your senator, send some money.. this has to be a nightmare for that family and I know that any type of support is what I'd be looking for.
I swear, Michigan gets no respect.;-) Remember where/. came from.

Server In A Fly
·
· Score: 1
.. VC's would have funded this company with $100M promising that the fly-based-server market will be a $90B industry by 2005 (backed up by a $5K Jupiter Communications report). IPO with market cap of $7B. News article, "ZDNet Fits 225K Fly-Servers in 42U". Market cap inflates to $10B.. [sigh] What I'd rather see is a 100-node Beuwolf cluster mounted to a billy-goat.
You see? I don't even have to do any Microsoft bashing. Just stay the hell away from their products for server-side development (services, servers, backends, etc.) and you're in the clear. If we'd all spend less time bashing and more time actually/using/ alternatives (yes, including YOU "Mr. Windows 2000 with MSIE 6.0 on the client side but still bashing") we'd all just give a sigh and laugh at all of the bullet points in that article and not get fired up.
The only thing that gets ME fired up about Microsoft is the fact that *MY* Windows 2000 blue screens every time I try to launch NASCAR's PitCommand Java app. Add THAT to your article Mr. Grygus.
Monthly Report (Oct 2002) for all ICANN registrars. Weird this/. article just made it because I was just reading this report. Shows a LOT of information about registrars, their SLAs, and even their registration statistics. Of course, Netsol, Tucows, Enom, Bulkregister, and MelbourneIT are stompin', but it will be interesting to track Amazon's progress since they're starting from scratch.
If this were AltaVista or Inktomi, I doubt that this post may have been made at all. Good for them? Congratulations? Take that 5 score down. There should be a new moderator-category of "Butt Kiss", the antonym of "Flame Bait".
I'd like to read about some of the great reviews about the D&D movie. You know, I've never really watched it in its entirety -- I just couldn't stand to see any more. It looked intentionally sabotaged to be a very poorly produced hunk of blah. I mean, talking about anticipation and expectations we had for this movie.
Huh? Search for legal advice on Google -- the top placement is paid for.
Overture isn't the 800 lbs. gorilla if you're comparing them to Google. You people have to get off this "Google Dot Org" thing, and understand that Google is big pay-click player and huge revenue maker.
If you're providing downloads that may reach a decent volume, I would recommend a caching appliance. A CacheFlow server (they were bought out by BlueCoat systems) or something similar should do the trick. These can cache HTTP and FTP inbound requests, and instead of having the load on your servers, these things will serve up your files instead. A good cache appliance can serve up files a lot faster/more-efficient than a web server, and you won't bog down your box with processes.
These caching appliances can also broadcast multimedia streams (Real or WinMedia) with the correct licenses.
I would do some research on some CacheFlow boxes, which, by the way, are selling on the cheap at eBay. These were the $25,000 (circa 1998-2000) priced appliances that you can now pick up for, sometimes, in the hundreds of very low thousands.
Yeah, the voice was tough to understand. Very, Dobby-Jar-Jar-Bungee [bad cartoon from my childhood, the last one] combined.

LOTR: The Two Towers
·
· Score: 2
This morning a good part of our office staff took some time off to watch LOTR on opening day. Network Appliance held a free screening to about 400 geeks in the Detroit area, and even provided freebies/doorprizes, drinks and popcorn. Made me want to spend my next $500K with them on network attached storage!;-)
If there are any NetApp-nerds reading this, give your company a pat on the back. How else do you get 400+ IT people from the Detroit area, including small business to the Big-3-Autos in the same room? Give them freebies that they can't resist like a screening of LOTR Two Towers on opening day.
Loved the movie. It had great continuity from the first movie -- picked up all the intentional loose ends from the first one. The action is immediate. The best 2h59m spent all week.
Yes, I've used mod_backhand. It has great support through the authors as well as through the user development group -- just join their mailing list. It has been deployed on simple 3-node web clusters to even more complex 15+-node web clusters, and it has worked just great at balancing the load of millions of daily pageviews.
mod_backhand, as you can tell by its name, is an Apache module. So, this isn't a replacement for a hardware based load-balancer unless all you're load balancing is HTTP requests.
It's very easy to implement if you're a semi-seasoned web admin that understands Apache directives in the httpd.conf. There are five built-in candidacy functions -- the things that choose which server will be chosen to serve up the data.
