I can't believe they would do that. It's just too resource intensive. If they did though, I think a lot of us would give up our self-hosted vanity domains. The gmail interface beats the crap out of squirrelmail.
Going from TuxPaint to the Gimp is literally like jumping between kindergarten and college. Is there nothing inbetween for simple drawing and photo touch up?
Use top tier equipment for your mission critical servers. They're better made and better supported. In the i386 space, that means IBM, HP, or Dill. You can get a nice little 2-way middle range server from any of the above that provides for redundant disks and power for ~5-7k.
Most business people will see that hardware is dirt cheap compared to downtime.
In my experience (and I've owned a bunch of top tier PC laptops) the battery spec is never as advertised. It's usually a little over half. In the case of my last thinkpad, the battery life would drop to almost nothing after a year of use.
So when I bought an ibook I expected to get the same thing. I'm happy to report that my 18 month old iBook still gets a good 4 hours of usable time, with only a slight degradation from the original ~4.5.
Hoping if and when I feel the need for a new computer I'll get one of these with an old enough processor that I can do with little or no fan.
I believe you can do this with most any CPU, provided you can find a way to underclock the shit out of it. Should be pretty easy with low grade i386 hardware.
I recently was turned on to a new community site by a quarter-sheet flyer that somehow ended up in my back pocket. Make up a bunch of copies on colored paper and go hand them out in the quad and leave a stack at the bookstore. If you're putting the effort into building momentum through promotion and decent content, the site will grow. Unless of course, the niche has already been filled and you're just not aware of it.
Yep, it's me! The original alpha male! What can I do ya for?
I couldn't think of anything original and suddenly thought of that scene from "Fletch". I finally registered here when I realized an account would allow me to filter all the stories about lousy animation and the Jon Katz crap that plagued the site at the time. The fact that it remembers my preference for uncensored views with no karma bonuses is nice too.
It's possible, but not very likely to be a real problem. If you are in a real emergency, it will be apparent to everyone around you. And if your phone is being jammed, you more than likely have more than one person nearby. That means you are probably in an urban setting and local residents or shopkeepers are going to take notice and make that call themselves.
Blatant and fully disclosed plugs I can tolerate. But out and out deception is reprehensible.
It's ironic that this request comes from an executive officer of a security company. OTOH, their credibility had already bugun to slide since they changed their focus to litigation and Microsoft press releases.
From the little bit you've told us, I am guessing that you're throwing bandwidth at your issues and haven't put any effort into the bigger issue of optimizing your networks.
The first thing I would do is look into centralizing your applications and change the delivery methods. Why have these piggy SQL server calls traversing the network? If you can't get the frontend converted from SQL native to a web-based system, then at least consider going to terminal services for that app.
I looked around for other options but that does seem to be the lowest cost USB keyboard with pitch and modulation benders. I'll be picking one up when they come back in stock.

Free Talk Live is about the only podcast I listen to. Podcast Alley is a pretty decent directory.
Offline reading and composing. That, and a local client will always be the fastest.

Try ZINF or CoolPlayer.
For commentary on world news, I really like this one: http://www.reason.com/hitandrun/index.xml
All of the others I use tend to get rotated as I change clients.
Agreed. It's unfortunate that while some FOSS is forked into the ground, there is little momentum in alternatives to packages such as Apache and BIND.
Let me get this straight - your nic configuration utility shows you the beacons that are being broadcast in the vicinity? That's fucking amazing.

Or you could use the more boring method of what Cisco calls "port mirroring".
Disclaimer:Of course, I could be totally wrong on this, since it's based on my own casual observation rather than a publishing schedule.

Shipping kill the deal

Yeah, I know this is OT. Go easy, mods.
Does she have the clap or what?
I remember getting that one by fax in the late 80s. So yeah, I believe you're right.
Could be worse. At least he didn't say "UUCP anyone?"
You stay out of Cowboy Neal's backdoor!

I found a barebones 37 key mini-keyboard for $50, but it looks like a throwaway.
