is win98 the most useable, but safest ms os? it seems like nt/2k/xp, etc. are so susceptible to spyware, worms, and viruses.
is win98 really the safest ms os for use on the internet for moderately informed users (who don't enjoy patching their ms os).
i am considering downgrading several xp machines on a domain, there isn't a lot of advantage vs win98, or is there? stability could be argued, more control of processes, better (cough cough) security...
would love to hear why i should or should not downgrade these xp machines.
Doster is great except when they're broken, down, or propagating corrupt master zone files to the root servers...
I suspect they are growing way too fast and not scaling (probably running Win2K DNS or a hodgepodge thereof?).
Also, they don't include system status or phone numbers anywhere on their site (not that anyone else does).
You can find their number on Google though, and their support is relatively competent with prodding, though they do not take responsibility for problems with their system.
i wish they'd hurry up and die. their business model is unsustainable and they are predatory litigators. i hope they get what's coming soon. the more people learn about this company, the less customers ipix will have.
yikes. that's right (in cygwin too). oh well i'm hard pressed to believe that's where the windows tcp stack comes from. even if it does, they must have forgot stuff - or fixed things that weren't broke.
From what I'm told, M$$oft's TCP stack blows - so this might affect an enterprise db backed web site. MSSQL Server is probably just fine though for a low traffic site or one that runs 100s of NT machines (yuck). I like Oracle shmoracle.
I will check this out. I'm noticing that maybe mod_mp3 makes it hard to run./httpd stop on OpenBSD? Seems the httpd processes hang out not dying and mod_mp3 still streams mp3s. DIE! It's easiest to reboot. I notice when stopping apache the mp3s are reloaded.
I'm also noticing that winamp does the best job of streaming. I see much less disk access when using it as opposed to Real Player which really seems to hog the disk? Probably Real doesn't like shoutcast. Looks like very good care was taken to use physical memory or something because performance and load stay pretty nice, though it would be interesting to do bandwidth negotiation to determine stream based on connection like Real does (ugh). Because 128kbps 44khz stereo doesn't work so well via NetZero! Not sure if this would involve mutiple mp3 encoding for each file?
Does this deal mean you can broadcast on port 80 without affecting your web pages? I'm not so up on.htaccess - will have to check out. I definitely think it's better than having to set up a VirtualHost which seems to break the initial apache web server on port 80.

I came across this yesterday:
from Google's cache.
I don't sprechen sie mormon, but the bottom images are telling...
It's been so long since I've been at the U (Mosaic just came out, think The Internet Adaptor (TIA)), do most universities do this now?
What are some real-world situations where this would be useful, it seems cool... but where is it really useful? Just curious.
I notice no webserver or browser are included (at least in the file dist list, maybe I missed it).
Also, is it possible to install packages for FreeSBIE while running it on a CDR? Does it access the HD at all? Can it?
No one's mentioned the FreeBSE CD from the UK. I've had it my briefcase for over a year now, and I really can't remember how many times it's saved me.
When all you have are microwave anisotropy probes your world begins to resmble a dougnut.

sounds like jini, is it?

That's right silly goose. MP3s are here to stay. We just won't use XP...sorry. I'm sticking to Unix!
