Unfortunately, you're out of luck. The current linux VM (in later 2.4 series) is fine for low to medium load systems but falls apart on high load systems. The previous VM (early 2.4 series) is a good design but isn't really ready for production.
I would suggest buying more RAM (it's cheap) if you aren't already maxed at 4 gigs (x86). Alternatively switch to FreeBSD which has a very stable efficient VM. Any source should recompile without too much trouble and it can run linux binaries at almost full speed!
Ever since @home went under my AT&T broadband service has been sh*t. My pings to another local ISP went from ~14ms to ~400ms with roughly 25% packet loss because the AT&T routers were so overloaded. Limiting bandwidth is a good thing until they can beef up the network to cover the influx of people.
Hopefully, they can fix the network within a month or two because AT&T (at least were I live) provides excellent service (especially with my uncapped 10mb upstream;)).
Yeah, I thought their product was cool too... until I downloaded the free client and had to enter a bunch of personal details. That's not so bad I do it all the time to get trial software. However, the next day I get a call from a sales rep. at Tripwire. I listen to the shit he was spewing and politely told him I wasn't interested in deploying it at our company. Over the next two weeks, I get 4 more calls from various reps. from Tripwire. I also started getting junk mail at my work account which was brand new the day I downloaded Tripwire. I won't do business with a company that has a field day with your personal data.
Actually, yes the WTC towers could and did withstand the impact of two full size jet liners. I read a while ago (sorry no link) that they were designed to withstand a direct impact from a 747. In that respect, they were designed and built well. What the designers didn't take into account was the temperature and which jet fuel burns and what that would do to the steel support beams. From what I understand, hydrogen burns but at a lower temperature, so new planes that ran off hydrogen probably wouldn't have caused the collapse of the towers.
Here's the quote: "the shockingly small pile of rubble that is all that is left of two of the biggest buildings on the planet"
They were "two of the biggest buildings on the planet." If he said "the two biggest buildings on the planet," you would be correct. But he didn't, so you're wrong. Get your facts straight before you nit-pick.

If you're nit-picking, so will I.
