What's the big deal? I'd rather have two 600mhz chips than OneBigOle 1.13Ghz chip. Nothing has scaled to this processing speed, save research stuff, so why waste the cash?
Everyone I know who has a 1Ghz machine says they noticed no significant performance increase. Sure Apache compiled 4 seconds faster, but you're still using vi to edit the conf. The my dick is bigger than your dick argument is tiresome.
Good guy. Smood Guy. Junk software is, well, junk software. I am writing a book with vi/POD and filters. Why? Because I can't bear using MS products and I can't stand waiting for StarOffice to warm up and Koffice to stop being "Hello World".
Maybe some freak will optimize the hell out of StarOffice. But you'll never bury the shitty interface.
Look, this could be a Good Thing but until then: =head
Can someone tell me what small group (i hope) of people it is that is so insane?!
Republicrats.
If it's the majority of people in congress that are making obscene laws like this, and trying to get them passed underhandedly, then the US and the world have a major problem, and someone needs to hire some nutty mercenaries to go in there with some bombs. geeeze.
Get 'em, Che. You sound like the kinda fire-breathing sumbitch we need.

Company X buys hacker/cracker insurance from Company Y because they have done a risk assessment and see the need. Company Y says OK, your premium is $mumble a year, but in order to get a lower premium you will have to let us audit you. You have 6 months before the audit. Get cracking (ouch).
Six months pass and Comapny X has really humped it. Security is tight, low incidence rate and a good security policy is in place. Comapny Y comes in says "Good Job", lowers the premium based on their audit of the risk that Company X poses to their bottom line. Company Y is happy because $mumble has become smaller, helping their bottom line and makes investors happy.
A Good Thing, no?
Only problem I can see is the security hardening industry's ability to keep up and whether or not the insurance company can bring on-line a quality risk assessment team with expertise in IT security. Are those big 'ifs'?
Could it be that you are the only person that actually cares? Sure, if the data was lost, then taht sucks. The question is: Is the data of one person, on a free service, mind you, worth recovering. If you ever have done sysadmin work (I mean, You do have your OWN domain) then you know what a royal pain in the ass firing up the tape robot and digging through a week's worth of incremental backups can be.
Therefore, get over it. Files get lost. Last time I checked SourceForge was charging absolutely dick for their site and service.
This is what is wrong with M$: end users that expect the moon from people on Earth. M$ has infected the world with whimpering, paranoids like you.

AS a former college DJ, I can tell you that the broad range of stuff that you can get away with on a college station is great, but satellite is not going to be like that.
A playlist on college radio:
Siouxise and the Banshees
Me arguing with my girlfriend on the phone
The Chiffons
The Pogues
The Old 97s
Me arguing with my girlfriend, then explaining to my 4 listeners (two of whom were speed freak roomies) that we were fighting over the rent and her reticence about buggering.
The Replacements
Girlfriend bursting into studio and throwing my clothes and dog at me.
The Clash
Eddy Izzard routine
Station Manager calls to scream at me.
On Air Bong Hit
Girlfriend calls to say she's sorry. Consents to anal sex.
X
The Drifters
A surf tune
Show ends with me telling some shitty story about how life sucks and quoting Bataille.
See, satellite will never be like college radio. You might hear the same music but you won't hear freaks talk their girlfriend's into cornholing.
OK, so Lincoln was born in Spain. I can deal with that, but he didn't grow up there right? Wasn't it Slovenia? Brdo Castle with Dad drinking medica and Mom plotting her revenge on the Rosicrucians.
Guess what, we have the same thing in the US. 'Cept ours isn't own by Rupert Murdoch (that I know of) and we have 3-4 choices of providers.
And Sky Digital is the best television package you can buy in the world (probably due to having all the best American TV shows available on it)
Gee, we get all of the 30 year-old crap from BBC here in the States and "Absolutely Fabulous." That Sucks. No Premiership either unless on tape delay. Whatta Bitch. So what is a "Best American TV shows."
So, I go to the doctor and he says "Look, you've got to eat right, quit smoking, drink wine not Maker's Mark and stop whoring. This lifestyle has wrecked your proton pump." Now that's an organ. All my life I wanted an Ion Engine, now I have a proton pump and it's fucked up.
OK. That's an underhand pitch (baseball reference. Sorry non-USAians). What about Shostakovich's 10th? Brooding with explosions. Kinda like my last girlfriend.
I was in the Reserves and an Artillery gunner. Wait, I was in college and in the Army and I was allowed to fire a big old gun and I was in my twenties.
Ok. The continent is North America, right? Named, sorta, after Amerigo Vespucci, right? Now, I live in the United States of America, but my brother lives in Canada and is a Canadian citizen. I am a citizen of the United States. We are both Americans because Amerigo Vespucci lent his name to the two continents, not everything between 54' 40'' and the Rio Grande.
Also, Tchaikovsky died in 1893. The Spanish-American War was fought in 1898 (at least the Cuba part). Go figure.
I may be wrong (usually I am in some way) but I think the 1812 Overture's cannonade is a later addition by us gun lovin' USAians. The cannon fire can be any loud percussive. Ex: We used tympani in Orchestra when I was in college.

A "cOdEgUru" would know that it ain't the mHz, it's the FLOPS. I'm no Apple fan but 450mHz on a their chip is muuuuuuch different from Intel or AMD.

Code is open. Hack the code. Post the code. Code is reviewed. Code is liked. Code is integrated. Beautiful.
Write a patch. That's what it's all about.

Thanks. This is what I wanted to know. Not a hardware freak soooooo.....

Amen or something secularly close to Amen. I suggest Karl Popper and Wittgenstein. Ah well... indeed.
It's a riff on "Foucault's Pendulum" by Umberto Eco. You should read it. It gave me a whole new outlook (or lookout) on the nut jobs.
Ah, Causabon. I, Belbo, will introduce you to my friend, my muse, Abulaifa.
