At what point will you people realize that Apple's modifications of iTunes & iPod firmware and licenses are a really, really bad thing?
Apple has already made pointless & compulsory changes to "Fairplay" DRM, and have demonstrated plenty of zeal in locking out any other vendor who produces significant plugins that may potentially threaten its supremacy in online music.
Even Microsoft never did this -- Netscape & Quicken always ran fine on Windows even back in the bad old days.

Currency valuation swings are part of doing business. I'm sure that you're bemoaning the collapse of the gold standard, yet have no clue whatsoever about the many, many bad effects commodity-backed currency.
The commissions that you will pay in the process of doing business with "real" money fill far exceed whatever you are losing in the dollar.
I spent about three months pouring through various letters and reports from the era when I was in college. It was an amazing experience that really opened my eyes.
Shortly afterwards I was forced to read papers written by 20th century undergrads... quite a contrast.
I think the Mozilla people are really proud of Firefox because of the really shit-tacular nature of the original Netscape code. From what I gather, the mail-browser-addressbook combo in the original Netscape browser suite was so tightly wound that it basically took years to decouple it.
The long-term goal of the Mozilla team is to have a single Gecko runtime for all of the apps. Until that happens, though, I agree with you that there is almost no performance differences between FF and the Mozilla Suite.
A better solution would be to install your system on a "robust, backed up drive" or fixing your backup scripts.
You are using some kludge backup system that cannot handle archiving standard user profiles. Why do you expect the Mozilla developers to waste time on something inane?
I diagree that CIFS is the problem. More likely rsync over cifs is encountering an iSCSI bug that is reducing NAS performance because the LUN queues on the ATA logical array.
If he has the money, Copper Gbit with journaling RAID and FC drivers from VRTS and you're LUNS will hum.
YMMV, and you may LOL, but I still thing detached NAS is the best solution.
The electronic should be ok, but you may run into problems with power supplies, cpu fans and disks. The lubricants on bearings change viscosities and may gum up or stop working right.
I'd be more worried about dust and dirt... video chips and cpus are always warm, and dust will be caked on the chips and cause them to overheat.
I used to work at a company that ran state park reservation systems. Sometimes I'd see machines that came from the field where they were kept in park ranger booths and were absolutely filthy. I believe the PC repair staff would end up cleaning each PC out and replacing hard disks annually.
The EPA and state environmental agencies are interested in reducing peak load on the power grid to avoid building power plants without brownouts.
This often doesn't translate into net savings for the consumer. While a 13W fluorescent bulb emits light similar to the 40W incandescent bulb, it also costs 4-10x more, depending on bulb quality.
To top everything off, you're now living with all of the disadvantages of fluorescent light. Rip out of the fluorescent crap and install incandescent or halogen lighting (like GE Edison bulbs)
What happened to the Slashdot that I used to know?
When Google introduced the turd that is Orkut,/. cheered.
When Google introduce an email service that read your mail and setup social networks to pump ads at you,/. shrugged and said "no big deal, Google is different"
Did everyone forget that Google represents the true path? Usenet is so 1980 anyway, the new Google groups is the future!
IBM writes their own BIOS and Controller code on many models, and typically leaves the beta testing to the customer.
I was at one place where a bug in the Supervisor Card (allows for lights out management) firmware trigged the "IBM Reboot Service" to reboot about 1,200 servers at random.
The problem with the H-1B folks is that their visas are at the mercy of their employer. A resident alien is free to change employers, while the H-1B has 60 days to leave the country once he becauses unemployed.
Companies like Intel & Cisco love H-1B's, because they be completely and utterly exploited, and nobody gives a shit. They don't vote, can't quit and don't make alot of money.
Personally, I have no problem with Indian guest workers or Mexican illegals. My family came here from Ireland only two generations ago.
The problem that I have is that food & technology companies have prevent meaningful reform or enforcement of immigration laws to allow themselves to import a cheap & exploitable workforce.

In Korea, only old people use CVS
The "Wild West" was untimately transformed into dysfunctional sprawl development & government subsidized desert farming operations.
Sounds like a great future for the internet.

In Korea, only old people use terabit routers
More like the Redhat bathroom wall.
Wet some toilet paper, throw, and see what sticks.
Get real...

In Korea, only old people talk to computers.
Cool gadgets mean that the terrorists won!
Talk to some IBM saledorks. Suse is the one true path.
RedHat is the old way, since IBM has a new strategic partnership with Novell.

Way too arrogant of a company for what they do... they are losing OEM support and customers who don't feel like being extorted.
As faras IBM is concerned, Suse is the only linux. And Novell is willing to discount things very heavily.
The mistake that you make is that you assume that schools are here to educate. Schools exist to employ teachers.
Read letters from drafted (read: poor) soldiers in the US Civil War... those guys had a level of literacy beyond most Americans today.
Schools produce lots of feel-good politics and are great at spending money and handing out patronage. Beyond that, they are tremendous failures.

Just fix you backup process!

Everyone knows how to speak english, just keep progressively raising your voice! Eventually, even the most barbarian of eurotrash will understand!
Actually, you can revoke that permissiona and request that Google remove your posts from the archive.

So IMHO, I wouldn't keep backups outdoors.
Sure you can. IBM outsources most PC and laptop manufacturing to Acer.
Energy saving bulbs don't save you money.

Says who?
Someone will start "Cheap Routers, Inc"... or companies like Sun or IBM will start bundling it with other solutions.
