If you get something with PCI-X, instead of standard PCI, you'll have a lot more bandwidth.
PCI-X is 64-bit, and with multiple cards, they'll probably be running at 100MHz. Vs. standard PCI at 32-bit, 33MHz, that's 6X the bandwidth, or about 90mbs, more than enough.
Just make sure you get one with enough 100MHz PCI-X slots for all your NICs. Many boards come with, say, 2 100MHz PCI-X, 2 66MHz PCI-X, then some standard slots. (Note that it's 2 slots per bus, and for more slots, the mobo will have multiple buses.)
Of course you'll need PCI-X network cards to handle that. Does anyone make those?
This is starting to sound expensive. Not sure it would actually save you any money. It would be cool, though.
When considering what cabling to run, just remember that it's way cheaper to run it now than to rip the walls open later and pay a carpenter to patch it all up.
Basically, the cables will cost the same, but installation is relatively free right now.
I love Debian, but this is why I don't use it on my desktop.
Is there a perfect Linux distro out there? Debian has stale packages, Gentoo has no reverse dependency checking (yet). How is Fedora coming along? Left RedHat for apt-get a while ago, then someone ported it to rpm. FreeBSD, while not Linux, doesn't support as much desktop hardware.
I'm on a continuing quest to find the perfect distro. Anyone else find it yet?
Space Pens are nice for extreme environments (like writing on waterproof paper in the rain), but they gum up so bad (getting a wad of ink sticking to the tip), that I really hate to use them otherwise.
"The Richest Man in Babylon" - Simple, timeless ways for getting ahead. An easy read, and short to boot.
"The Millionaire Next Door" and "The Millionaire Mind" - The results of a broad survey of millionaires. What they're actually like, how they got there. They may not be who you think.
"Rich Dad, Poor Dad" series - attitudes of the rich, educating yourself financially, and some strategies for doing.
The popup manager (which I used in 1.2beta) worked for NYT, and everything else I tried. Unfortunately, it's not in the 1.2 release. This is different than the "open unrequested windows" checkbox in the "scripts and plugins" prefs, which, as you said, doesn't work for NYT.
CDs won out over casettes for several reasons, listed in order of what I think was most important:
(1) The skip function - don't have to fast forward through the whole tape. (2) Higher sound quality, noticable to most everyone. (3) Your player won't eat your music. (4) They don't degrade just by playing them repeatedly.
I don't think any of the new formats have any new features that are nearly as compelling for consumers.

I'm sure the Gates building will be a popular target for being renamed in the middle of the night. Here are the suggestions that I've come up with:
-The What Do I Want The World To Do Today Building
-The Richard M Stallman Building
-The Linus Torvalds Building
-The GNU/William H Gates Building
Of course, because it's MIT, few people will notice that it actually has a name, and will continue to refer to it by number (seriously).
Oops, except the grandparent had the math wrong, as others have pointed out. 127.2MB/s is not 15.8mbps, it's more like 1Gbps.
But PCI-X at 100MHz is still 6X the bandwidth of standard PCI.

We all know XFree86 is commonly referred to as just "X". Perhaps MSN's porn filter just stupidly associates that X with XXX.
The "Customers who bought this book also bought:" section is interesting. Plenty of interest there.
Death, death, death, baked beans, and death. (To paraphrase Monty Python.)
That exact phrase (this version of it) pops into my head every now and then. I don't know why.
Really, I don't need counseling.

Monday: lawsuit.
Tuesday: lawsuit.
Wednesday: MadLibs Lawsuits(R)! "__ is __." [Linux, GPL, IBM] [unconstitutional, scary, stealing our money].
Plan B: Sell the stock quick before we file bankruptcy.

Sounds like Ender's Game, except... well, I won't spoil it if you haven't read it.

Because it was a python script, we were trying to match the .py. Happy, guppy, etc.
