I have a couple older TPs at my office and they are rocks, they have outlasted any laptop we have ever purchased. I am not sad to see the trackpoint go though. I could never get used to that, it always felt like I was sexually assaulting the laptop.
I run FCx on many of my home servers, without the GUI, and I have found them all to be very stable, low memory consumption, and easy to update.
I just installed FC4 on a file server so I will see how that goes, but I expect it will be solid as the others.
And if you don't like the packages that come with FC4, roll your own, I don't install the default httpd, I always get the source and compile my own.
I like the FCx distros, 'cause it is easy to get a solid base install of a very current kernel. When I am trying to manage many servers across multiple locations, I just want something that works.
I agree, I am using 2.0.x with PHP 4.3.4 and MySQL 4.1 and have seen no problems. Now my apps are pretty basic so that might be why it all runs, but has been solid for 5 months now.
Well, I guess my worst day at work does not equal dropping a multi-million dollar satellite. But they now have a comittee to investigate, so that's good. I'm glad no one created a committee to investigate that time I dropped a machine while it was on, that drive no workee no more.
I have 2 keyboards from Leading Edge 286s. These keyboards are a joy to use. Everytime I see one at a garage sale, or Goodwill I snap it up. I have given them to friends and family, to spread the joy of "real" keyboards.
I currently have about 10G of "live" data on my office network, each night I back up using rsync, to a server at my house. This happens over a 768k DSL. On an average day I am pushing about 120MB over the wire, and it takes 10-20 minutes. Also in the office I have a 120GB drive where I have made 10 copies of the data, and each hour during the work day from 10AM to 8PM it makes an rsync copy, over 100mbit link it takes about 6 minutes to replicate the changes. I also have a nightly tape backup.
This system mainly gets used for the "oh shit, I deleted my file" kind of users. I can't say enough about rsync, works great and has saved my ass a numbe of times.
I use Lonetar locally to tape and rsync/ssh over DSL to my house, works great, I have not had to go to a tape for months to recover a file, just ssh into my home server and copy to the office network. I have saved many an ass this way. But I leave the tape running just to have a couple layers of bckup. We are also adding a new office in another city, I will rsync/ssh to that location too.
I actually forgot I read this book for a moment till I started reading the review. Slashdot needs to examine its flux-capacitors, there must be some sort of time shift going on here.
I've always wondered if the earth was "created" with these fossils in place. IOW, these things never lived, that would explaing the dinasaurs that seem to defy the laws of physics and common sense. I can just se the Supreme Being up there laughing his ass off at us trying to imagine how these ceatures lived.
Now they just need to put some HDDs in the satellite and set up the cache up there. That would at least cut the time in half. Makes maintenance a little difficult.
In the article the authors defined 3 classes of lights, only category III leds can be sniffed, link status (Cat I) and network activity (Cat II) lights can not be. The RD and SD lights on modem are classed as Category III, and then can be sniffed.

I agree, zap those guys off the side of my house.
Never mind I answered my own question

I would love to see the same thing with statistical formulae, does anyone know if such a creature exists?

Did you get that thing... I sent you?

Yeah, my wife Morgan Fairchild like to play FPS's with me too, yeah, that's the ticket.

Mount it in the countertop like the old cocktail table games.

One must make the inevitable Simpsons "Lard of the Dance" reference.
