    Anyone that been in the computer field for more then a few weeks knows this. And for every clueless bastard that been saying through their fat face "why does anyone need a XXX mhx system, all they need a YY Mhz system" there's are a few people that realize, a fast system today, means you don't have to buy a new one ever X years.

    Think about this. 3k for a wickly mean machine, 2k for a good computer, 500 bucks is for "all that someone really needs." A year from now that 500 bucks machine will become some sysadmin mail hub. The 2k will be his desktop for the next two years, and then serve as his file server for three, then a router for three more year. The hot machine will be the guy devel machine for a year, his desktop for two, his file server for four, and a router for another four more years.

    What has more value? I think the 3k machine. That's why when I do buy a system, I buy two steps down form the best thing I can get, keeping it easy to upgrade (two 256 dimms, instead of four 128's), and understanding next year it will be less.

I think it was showed once, and it scored 4 times better then ISS.

    Sure, one HUGE machine with no fail over is what you might want for your intranet server where only people will complain. However in a co-lo, running a website that runs your company, many small cheap machines, that can quickly be replaced, upgraded, and scale up is what you want.

    Think about like this, you can spend 4k on a small one process machine with a ide drive, or 50k on this huge central heater with globs and globs of ram and a huge SCSI raid system. You'll need two of these space heater, that 100k. For 100k how many of these 4k cheap-o machine can you buy? About 25 machines. For about 4k, you can get a single processor 600 mhz and a 20g ide drive, about 1/4 a gig of ram, a nic, and a rack mount able case. If you only get 20 single processor machine, you'll be be able to flood your connection, and have money left over for a 250g RAID 10 system. My number may be off (WAY OFF), but my point is made.

    If a 4k machine blows up, so what, you have 19 other machines. If five blow up, oh well, you have 15 left. If this 50k 8 way space heater blows up, you lose haft your site, and you'll be running at haft power for the next few days until the unsite monkey tech gets there.

    Remember, this is a goverment that been tapping phone systems since the 60's. I'm pretty sure it's not just email they want. Most likley it's going to sniff all traffic, crack what it can, send to the lap what it can't do localy, and look for keywords in all text. Along with this, record the traffic from all machine, track useage and users, and profile everybody.

Once they are able to do that, they crack the simple 128 bit cypto, enter a little password, crack a system, and find out what Billy and his Child Porn Super Store has or what plans is at Mark's Super Bomb Depot, first hand.

Or that grass root group that discover gross secerts about the goverment. Of course it could be use to remove the unnice web site showing how to hack some corp product.

    The "tracking email" part is just a cover. There is no end on what a system like this can do. Simple being there is enough to raise questions, screw that. It's enough to panic.

    How many people bitch and cry about a kiddie port scanning thier network? How about packet sniffing? How many hours after hours does a sysadmin secure his network? How many patches are appiled to secure a system? How many NSA keys are in software? Do you guys really trust a goverment with this much power of your lives? I don't.

    RIGHT ON!! I may be losing hair and sleep, but damn is that pay check nice. The best part about these "high stress techno jobs" is you can go to a bar (get into a fight if your an animal) in your work cloths, try that working at McDonald!!!

    lol! I should know, I slavied away at that hell hole for 10 hours at time, for that PHAT $4.25 an hour. Nothing better then spend 10 hours smelling like shit, tossing patties, slipping and sliding on da floor, spitting in people food, spilling "the waste product" all over yourself, making 600 big macs in one night while your friends are having fun, then missing halloween 'cuase gotz to work 'cuase else is working and you're promised dinner which the bitch tried to make you pay for so you steal a whole case of nuggets and fires but this doesn't counter react hearing your friends talk about that night for the rest of your frigging life, and burning da hands so many damn time you lose the feeling of heat, BUT what joy is to remember that was your best damn job in the world of all shit jobs.

    Oh yeah, gotta love them shirts and pants, dare you where blue jeans, you would spend weeks short shafted running the grill by ya own damn self. Of course you're to stupid to quit so you live with it until you piss in the freeze by mistake and fail to come the next day after you founding yourself high as hell in your 1980 pontic green lemon with your head in a haft eating hamburger from god knows then after moving your stoned ass inside, having the wierdest experince in your life with some girl on the telephone cause you praticed wicca who now now you can't get out of your head and having you parent yell and screem at you becuase how are you going to pay for the P90 that you bought for 4 grand and learned UNIX on which gave you your job today, but I be damn, IF WORKING AT McDonald DOESN'T MOVATE YOU, NOTHING WILL!!

    Every one should work at mcdonalds for at least 6 months to know what a shitty job really means!! Maybe less people would bitch, naw, we would just have more teenage smelling like shit, pissing in our food and being beyond atomic at what ever made them get a job in the first place! Damn goverment.

    But heck, if you ever get tried of your geekdom job, McDonald will allways hire you, even if you stole, pissed in the food, and still smell like shit.

    Did someone say McDonald? I got a 9. I didn't think anyone said anything. We're going to Taco Hell.

    Bullshit.

    I'll pay my dime when the artist has done something to warrent it. If I like the band, I'll go to thier show. If I like them enough, I might even tip them, I'll give them my five bucks, no problem. However, I refuse so help me god to give a 14 bucks to some haft ass, one hit wonder, to buy their cd, for one stupid song that in two years I'm going to hate and place the cd in the "sucky pile".

    I'm insulted by "FREE ART is crappy art", that total bs. Some of the best stuff in the world has been done becuase of doing Art for what it is NOT THE CASH TO BE GAINED BY THE ART!!

    You think when what his face was crafting David he was thinking: "I could make a mint off of this". Or what about Mozart? Do you really think he was thinking, "hell, if I created a great piece of musical work I could up the price on the guests, and increase my profit by 20% and buy that fancy boat I saw down by the oceanside" when he was writing Missa?

    The people that think they can make money from "Art" are corprate assholes, greedy bastard, and pissed poored artists looking in the wrong area to put food on the table. Example:

    back street boys
    britney spears

    How about cool bands that are for MP3's? Name a few, go a head and do a search. Artist make thier money from selling WORKS they PRODUCED.

    Another thing that completely pisses me off is, don't sell out your art. Don't make art just to sell it. I can't really feel sorry for people who put all their pennies in one jar and bet all or nothing on thier music/art. If the artist can't put food on the table, to bad, most likly they suck. Yeah, I know many designers, these guys could be consider artists. Some of them do really good work. I have also seen "designers" that have no talent, spent 100k on art school, having a hard time trying to put food on the table. Should I say, even through you suck, here's five bucks? It's no better, then the artist saying "here's this great painting I made, you can have it for free".

    For music, it's another story. For music, the artist want as many people to hear it, download thier music, and come to their shows. Let's say someone is "well off" at 100k a year. At a buck, only 100k people need to donate to them. At 2, only 50k. At 5 bucks, a fair cost of a show, they only need to reach 20k people. If you can't reach out to get 30,000 people to come to your show in the course of a year, sorry, the artist suck. If a buck a person, it's 30k. Just enough to put food on the table (not much else however).

    Do art for the loving of creating Art, not for the cash flow that it could be. If you are good enough, no matter what it is, you will get your rewards.

    fuckit, end rant

    With the laws that govern the world we livin it can't. Here's how:

    music | some priacy proof device | speaker > air > ear ok..
