Brickshelf and Geekshelf both use MySQL as the backend for their galleries. Together they serve about ~200,000 gallery pages per day (over 500,000 in a recent slashdotting). It is always _super_ fast, even during the slashdot effect (locally -- bandwidth limitations still have an effect for remote users). It's very reliable too, db server uptime is 111 days. The mysqld process has been running since Aug. 12. Since then there have been over 8,000,000 connections to the db. It's rock solid.
There are about a dozen links on the homepage for browsing through folders. Try "Recent Gallery Uploads". New uploads are held for moderation (unfortunate but necessary). Once moderated, any visitor can browse the folder. Even when not yet moderated, the files are viewable to the owner, and deep-linking works all the time (moderated or not).
It is a spinoff of Brickshelf. Brickshelf has a LEGO only gallery. On Geekshelf, anything "geeky" is on-topic.
As others have pointed out, getting an OS to run on older hardware is the easy part. Try finding a usable web browser. I'm posting this with Mozilla on a PPro 200 with FreeBSD. Everything else on the box is lightning fast, but Mozilla feels like it is running on a turbo XT!
You mean someone is creating a list that all the spammers will want to be on? It's a dream come true! Now I can filter anything on that list and greatly reduce the incoming spam. Brilliant.
It Does Not Do 24/96 A-D,D-A

I bought one of these with the belief that it would be able to do 24bit/96KHz A-D and D-A. The prominent 24/96 logo on the box, along with the obsfucated specs made it seem like it would do it.
The Fact is, it would only do 96KHz on the SP/DIF ports, and only do 24 bit at 48KHz (i.e. not 44.1 or any other rate). There was no way to record or play true 24/96 on the analog ports. What a piece of crap. Back to the store it went, then I bought a Digital Audio Labs CardD Deluxe, which does do true 24/96 and works great. It cost about twice as much, but at least it works.
You do realize the next step after this is to pass a law forbidding operating systems without DRM? I'm sure they could word it so that a requirement is that the source for the DRM is not published thereby violating GPL. This law, were it to be enacted would essentially make Linux/*BSD illegal and no longer a threat to MS.
Don't think it can happen? Never underestimate the power of stupid laws.
You permit packets from anywhere to get through as long as they have port 80 as the source port? What fun!
I recommend using stateful filtering rules like the keep-state function in FreeBSD ipfw. If you diddn't recently initiate the connection to port 80, you don't want traffic from port 80 coming back to you!
I use Domainmonger for all of my personal and business domains. I absolutely love their service. If there is any kind of problem with a transfer, *they will call YOU* to straighten it out before you even know something is wrong. I also like the way you can
apply one set of changes (like contact info) a bunch of domains at once.
If the current telco and internet infrastructure is any example, their efforts will do no good. A dozen terrorists with rented (or commandeered) backhoes in select locations could cause massive disruptions in the Internet (and therefore the economy). Miss Utility could even be an unwitting accomplice.
Don't even start with "physical diversity blah blah blah". The fact that your physically diverse circuits aren't has been proven time and again by the mighty backhoe/flaming hazmat car/junior achiever.
Of course some improvements to BGP wouldn't hurt either.
Good riddance Dan. Remember when NASA had successful planetary missions? Remember when NASA did great things? Today NASA does great things in spite of you, not because of you.
You stood by for 7 of 8 years while NASA's budget was reduced. You spend countless hours and money on your insane quest to eliminate the venerable NASA "worm logo". Your "faster better cheaper" was none of the above and cost billions in failed missions and years of setbacks in the evolution of space exploration.
One has to wonder if it was just incompetence or if the above was actually your intended goal. Perhaps you were instructed to keep NASA from exploring too fast or discovering too much at this critical time in our cultural evolution.
NASA has a wonderful opportunity now to turn itself around and once again lead the evolution
of the human civilization by exploring and colonizing space, and all the new technology that derives from that quest.

"keep in mind processor speed has at least doubled since the project began"
True, but Aack! I hate it when developers think
this way. More features are good but there is no way they can justify the performance difference we see today. I'm sure Mozilla will get faster as focus shifts from features to performance.
The other side is what if I want a browser for my Sun3? That is one of the benifits I was hoping for with an open source browser. Maybe Netscape will someday (now!) release the source code for 3.02 so we can port it to older machines that need
(want) a usable browser. I'm sure we could hack in the necessary standards upgrades to it and still have a browser that runs on slow hardware.
Just think, it would also run that much faster on modern hardware too!

Netscape 6.1

Um, what exactly don't you like about Netscape 4.x
(now 4.78)? It's stable (as least on windows and FreeBSD), fast and a nice integrated mail client (sucky for newsgroups though).
Well, 6.x is just as slow and bloated as Mozilla, but Netscape 4.7x is much faster than either.
The only reason I upgraded from Netscape 3.02 to
4.xx was to use the IMAP mail client. 3.02 was probably the fastest web browser ever made.
Is there any actual feature advantage to Mozilla/Netscape6.x over Netscape 4.78?
And what is all the fuss over IE? Every once
in a while I hunt down a windows machine to try
it out and it still sucks just as bad as the old
days. I really hate the was it moves things around on the screen as it renders the page. Blah.
