I assure you that quality is the thing we lost, while chasing after the deadline and trying to meet our budget!
Hmm wait a sec. - I assured something, I mentioned quality, I own a red(5%)-yellow(80%)- green(15%) tie - I qualify for CQM (Corp. Quality Management).
It does scale! The cluster TPC-C Benchmark is not very conclusive IMHO, it has very few intra-process communication, so you can basically scale it almost indefinitely.
I need such a harddisk in my next TiVO, VCR-Replacement, whatever system. You can store over 200 movies on a single disk, instead of using 50 tapes, so I think this _is_ smth. useful.
For all those whining, that there are no EIDE 15Krpm drive available, I have the following question:
What for? Faster access times? You gotta be kidding, if I want smth. it's probably a high sustained data rate and thats mainly affected by the density the data is packed on the physical disks within the HDD.
Access time is important for db-boxes, not for my home entertainment super-station.
Here some information on the powerline(.de) service from RWE/Germany. (Their engl. FAQ)
and the Tariffs range from:
~20 US$ per month for 250MB plus 6 cents per MB after 250MB and a one time charge of 150 US$ for the modem
TO
~110 US$ per month for 10GB plus ~1.3 cents per MB after 10GB and a one time charge of 90 US$ for the modem.
I'd assume that US tariffs will look similar.
In Germany the big contender is the Deutsche Telekom and its online daughter T-Online, which offers a ~30US$ 24h/unlim. traffic dsl offer with no modem costs and 768/128 I/O. (and a market share of at least 90% I'd guess>
Can someone tell me if it is possible to use synaptic on a Progeny-based box?

Anybody noticed that it's not possible to have two doublequotes in one HTML-Tag?
I just tried to make a standard href and (for the convenience of all slashdotters) a target link in an anchor tag, the result = link to --"url._top" - it should be possible to write such things shouldn't it?
G'day

Earthdawn (my favourite FRPG) is actually alive and kickin' - its rights were bought by living room games and they plan to bring out a second edition and have already published an adventure of their own creation (which I have not seen yet).
I have to say, that I think too many ('though not all) of those "wisdoms" are crap.
Concerning Spacers; placing 1 or even 10 spacers on a site, doesn't increase volume significantly.
Concerning Frames; I think in many cases frames are useful, you can display a navigation bar (or multiple nav-bars) and still scroll the content.
Text vs. Pdf? Well, many people like to have a picture of their motherboard, rather than an ASCII-map of it.
However, the main problem is, that you are of the opinion that design does matter very little and that's very, very wrong. OK, content is number one, but anyone stating that his page is optimized for lynx is IMO about as creative as a brick wall, the information is usually boring to read, with no formatting whatsoever. (Since, you're a UNIX Admin, you have probably read your beloved standard text @ 1600*1200px, a thing you might enjoy - I do not)
One might as well argue, that you can print the people magazine without images, this would save space, require less paper and in the end protect the enironment.
Using lynx for testing seems a brillant idea, I assume that alomst.05% of the internet community use it on a regular basis
I think your right with the first point, Linux won't eclipse NT (or Windows 2K for the sake) anytime soon. Especially the desktop market is extremly unlikely to change in the near future - but the low-end to mid-range server market is another matter. Linux delivers a stable server plattform at little licensing cost (for backup sw, etc.) and the tools provided are also free, eg. vi(m) which you seem to dislike, however there is no better editor to view a 250 MB logfile or would you open such a file in the NT-editor.

www.powerline.de
You can get it for two moths now in Germany.
(BTW I think these are different companies, powerline.de is owned by german energy-giant RWE wheras powerline.com seems to be rather small)
