  1. Re:FP on Simple, Bare-Bones Motherboards? · · Score: 1

    As I recall, you need a MB with the Intel i850 chipset on it. Most of the MB's that I see with this chipset are Socket 423. Hopefully this has given you some more keywords to google.

    This is life....

    I have seen friends in college get low grades on papers because the prof didn't agree with the person's point of view.

    I have seen people fired from jobs because they spoke up.

    From the Bill of Rights:
    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

    Congress is prohibited from making a law prohibiting free speech. The Bill of Rights does not say anything about what happens after you exercise your freedom to speak freely.

    People are judged by using their right to free speech all of the time. This judgement can include loss of jobs, loss of friendships, etc.

    If the RAID box happens to be a Network Appliance file server, it would work... :)

    My previous employer had NetApps. In three years we only recovered a file from tape once. All of the other times it was from a snapshot.

    I have convinced people to give Linux a try with Knoppix. It goes something like this...

  17. Re:+5: Anti-Bush Tirade on In the Year 2020 · · Score: 1

    What a load of crap... How can you believe that the poor people shoulder the majority of the tax burden? They don't have the money to do it. If you don't believe the political spin from one party, why should you believe the spin from the other?

    The US system of government was set in place with the understanding that politicians are not your friends. It does matter which party they are in.
    They are there to take your money and your freedom.
    That is why there is a system of checks and balances (supposedly) in place. To limit government power.
