Ahh yes, Slimserver! I have used it before and it works great. You can set up multiple streams, mulitple formats, internet radio, and if i remember right, using the squeezeboxes you can set it where the audio is synched. Its great and all you really need to run it is a halfway decent computer to be the server (more streams = more ram and processing power), and on the client side any computer capable of running winamp or xmms will work. Its well documented and has tons of plugins. It would be my choice. Plus its open unlike Itunes. Go HERE to get it.
If somoene identifies themselves as a cop and you ask them to show id to prove it then yes they do have to provide it. With uniformed cops the badge is considered id, but you can still ask them for a picture id if you arent confident. It is this way for safety reasons and they only reason i know about it is because there was a fake cop pulling over people in Orlando and the police department recommended you ask for id.
Shuttle has several small form factor barebones systems that might do the trick. Put 1 small hd for the os mounted read only and then a larger hd for storage and you should have no problems. You could probably go as far as to put alot of ram in it, get one of the micro distros of linux that will run on a floppy, write a script that will create a ram drive and load the os into it on start-up, and run with that.

what MS should really do is make the code for their OS open source. It would mean less bugginess, more businesses switching back, and a whole new group of people to sell apps to. With things like Office, games, MSN, and other things MS has their hands in they can make PLENTY of money. This would open it up even more. Think of having just to pay for Office without having to pay for an OS to run it!
Microsoft might....heh...who knows....the funny thing about it is that alot of Unisys's banking software/hardware is still run by either a Unisys's Mainframe OS or OS2. I used to work at a bank and all the processing was run by Unisys's OS and all the reconciliation was done on OS2.....Kinda makes you wonder...we did get some new MS stuff but all it did was run an emulation window and crash alot.
We already have handhelds that can do that and by 2009ish when they will want to buy them I dont see this being an issue. We already have several handhelds for around $100 on the market.
Take her to your local fondue joint. The Melting Pot has a large number of locations nationwide. She'll appreciate the great dinner, the time you spend with her (dinner takes about 2 hours+ to eat when doing fondue), and its a great chance to talk. Oh and don't forget the great chocolate deserts. mmmmmmmm chocolate.

In the benchmarks done about 6 months ago IIS did outperform apache, BUT that wasnt apache's fault. The fault was with the tcp/ip stack in linux, and it was determined that apache on *bsd would outperform IIS because of *bsd's better tcp/ip stack.
WAP and WML are things that allow webpages to be seen over portable conncections like web enabled cell phones and PalmPilots...From what little i have read about it, it takes the HTML and strips thing like img tags and such and parses it into a form portable devices can understand
VA has made tweaks to RH that makes it better for running MySQL. How do I know this? A friend of mine works at a university and they just set up a machine that has basically two things running on it, MySQL and SSH. Its set to log the system events and with the load they have the VA RH MySQL setup was the best for the money.
