I'd love 8mbit downstream, but why is it still a sad 400kbit up? I can understand that upstream costs nominally more and they don't want you to run a massive servers, but that large of a discrepency (20:1) just makes no sense.
What I think would make the most sense is giving people a few mbit upstream (closer to 2:1 or 3:1) and then limiting them to something reasonable, like 2gb/day (best done a floating 10gb/5 days or something). That way the upstream is there when needed, but doesn't let people run massive servers 24/7.
If they modified the linux kernel they have to release that. The driver for the kernel to talk to the keyboard can stay closed, just like the nvidia or ATI binary-only drivers, but if they changed other parts of the kernel they have to release that.
As for the actual software doing the syth and interface and everything, that obviously has nothing to do with the kernel so can be under whatever license they want.
conceeding means nothing legally, it just means "ok, I'll shut up now." The only thing that matters legally is what the electoral college votes. According to wikipedia:
Each state's electors meet in their state capitals in December , 41 days following the election, at which time they cast their electoral votes. Thus the electoral college never meets as one body. The electoral votes are then sealed and sent to the President of the Senate (i.e. the sitting Vice President of the United States), who retains them until the new Congress convenes in January. At that time, the votes are opened and counted in the presence of both houses of Congress. The candidate who receives a majority of electoral votes for President becomes President, and the candidate who receives a majority of electoral votes for Vice President becomes Vice-President.
So we have about a month for the electoral college to change its mind.

I've been wondering the same thing but haven't had the time to debug it at all. Here's a line from top:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 31929 rufus 16 0 668m 359m 169m S 0.0 36.0 3:08.69 mozilla-thunder
Yes, that is 350mb of ram it is using. True I have ~100 imap folders in my default view, a few of which have >100,000 messages, but I don't see the need to have the entire structure of each folder loaded persistently in ram.
Well that would do it. The morron put up full-sized 4megapixel images then used "img size=" to resize it. Just resized the images down so I should be able to survive now.
I think I'm seeing some strange combination of KeepAlive and MaxClients. I jumped MaxClients to 1000, I'm pushing a good 1.1Mbytes/sec out, my server's at a load average of ~10 (but 90% idle), and I'm still seeing people getting locked out.
Watercoolers have been using car heater cores (the radiators that go in the dash for the inside heating/cooling) forever to cool their loops. You can even buy them with the ends pre-cut for normal hose sizes (I just bought one from a junk yard for $10 and cut the hose ends myself). This is a just a normal "bigger is better" (and impractical...) progression.
I think the new logo looks quite nice. Very simple and stylish. Since the site is somewhat slow loading, I threw up a mirror including the large versions.
More information is available at nlr.net including a network map. The first link that went up was between Chicago and the Pittsburgh Supercomputer Center which is run by CMU (where I go). The only problem I think we only have 1 (maybe 2) gigabit links to them, so the bandwidth isn't available onto campus.
I generally think that the type of people Indy Media attracts are somewhat nutty anarchists and I agree with very little that they say. That being said, I don't care if the website's for Indy Media, neo-nazi's, abortion clinic bombers, pro-choice activists, or anything else, something like this should *not* happen. If they had been handed a proper government suppena saying exactly why the servers were being taken and what law was being violated I wouldn't have that much of a problem with it and Indy Media could fight the seizure through the normal legal chanels. However, any sort of secret, gag-ordered operation where things (and next people?) simply dissappear with no explenation sounds dangerously close to most dictatorships.
What on earth are you talking about? Just because you can spoute some crap that sounds technical doesn't make it remotely true. All CPUs from the same process/family are identical other than miniscule speed and thermal characteriistics. Why do you think the low end version of a new process always overclocks so well? It's because the company simply marks down the CPU to a lower rating. That's alll TR has done here. The type of characteristics you're talking aboout are the small differences between any two, even identically rated, CPUs.

I personally preffer to fry my eggs on an Athlon XP. Just make sure it's an original Athlon as new ones run too damn cool.
your point?
Maybe they should have use the zbox to host their site =)

I must say my good sir, you truely are mad.
it's all about the original suprnova.tk (which no longer works...)
it was already spoiled one and a half months ago

If it's so trivial, why is IIS so full of holes?

That's a terrible idea. You're actually replacing the
