Yes I think having a 2nd network for a vital system is a good idea. This sort of thing is used all the time for things like fiber rings were you have the work and protect path. If the primary work path goes down (cut, maintenance what ever) then you roll to the protect. Yes it is a bit more expensive but in case like this maybe it is needed.
You sir are a troll, but that is ok I will still respond. Slashdot does very often run stories of new companies and new ideas. The problem is when they do people like you (I.E. Trolls) post messages bitching that all slashdot does anymore is run stories about new companies and new ideas, and that they must be advertisements not real stories.
Really man grow up...

But doesn't handling cash and checks cost money, too?
Yes, but the difference is that with cc transactions the company you are buying from gets a bill from the credit card processing company for using the service, a fee that the company would not have had with a paper transaction.
With paper money the cost is internal to the business so it does not get added on extra. If they just raised the price of every item a few dollars that would 'punish' those that want to pay with cash.
What it comes down to is you have to pay the workers to cover the cash register anyway, but you don't have to pay the charges to use a cc processing company.
Not knowing the answer to this myself I present to you a few links that may be helpful. Hope this helps. This link has some good benchmarks of Ext2, ReiserFS and XFS.
Well if this is indeed the case it still sound a bit like Adobe's newest PDF tools that allow a user to modify online pdf forms with out having to buy the over priced full version of Adobe's software.
As of this post their is something like 8 other posts and the article is already/.ed. makes one wonder if the server/link could not take it or if this story just really got everyone interested this early in the morning (US).
For a long time I would have 100% agreed with you on your point. My opinion of this changed last week though when I got a phone call from my rather computer illiterate mom. She told me, much to my surprise, she had decided to install XP on her computer all by her self not even consulting her very own geek son... My first question was why and she told me that it just looked better and she heard from a friend it was better. Now I have to think that my case is not completely unique, I know everyone is not like this but my case proves some are.
I totally agree with this. If GNU/Linux is ever going to make it as a "mainstream" desktop OS then it has to get more user friendly.
I think it goes a bit deeper though... it has to get user friendly and mainstream software vendors have to see it be user friendly. If software vendors see it as a viable option then more software should get ported over and then at that point end users will see an alternative to their current desktop that will allow them to still be productive. When this all comes together user will have a system that is rock solid, is user friendly, and has useful mainstream software packages. Now all we (or at least software developers / testers) have to do is go get this all done:)
Yes feel free to take them to court. All you will have to to is find a judge that will rule the MS EULA does not stand in court, because of course this will be in EULA before MS does it.
All the time on/. we see people that do not read the article, and yes some of us get mad, and some just laugh. This guy though has gone to a new low and not even read the article that he posted. Had he read the article that he linked to he would have seen that is clearly says it is no longer hosted because it was not legal... o well so goes Slashdot:)
I had forgotten all about this movie, this is great. From what I remember my favorite part is the competition at the end when they all play on the giant screen T.V.... I may have to go find this one on DVD.
If I had mod points I would use them on this one:)

Also do you have any idea what the button says at the end, I can make out 'Lennord Nimoy?' but not the first two words

I second that motion

And here is a fairly good news group discussion relating to what you are talking about.
While I do agree the above comment might not be the best, how the hell does a first post get marked ...

Connon O'brian showed this on his show last night. It was kind of funny watching him pimp this stupid product ...
A company named Signal Tower sells cells towers disguised as a tree. You can see pictures of this at the web site.
P.s. sorry if this was mentioned on the site in the original story. I could not get to that site due to crap flash.
Wouldn't it be just the shit if a Sim sits down, boots up Linux, starts WINE and plays The Sims?

I would rather have the Sim sit down boot up linux and play the Sims natively but yes your option works too
