I've been hearing this rumor for a while and the fact that it was already shot down by dell, but i never really noticed how similar dell and alienware's websites really are... like "I stole the entire design from the other guy's site" similar...
I'm really not sure how the average person could go about saving 6 months salary... it would require about 3 years of working for most people. (unless you can somehow magically make the mortgage/bills/essentials somehow go away for that period)
you could just let it sit in the pcmcia slot (unless you use it for something) when your NOT on the go... actually it'd be a pretty nice solution i think.
I don't want to sound like a broken record, but I too started with slackware around 1997/98, then tried some more gui'ish distro's and kept coming back to slack and still use it today.
The biggest development i've seen against this distro was the addition of package management (swaret is my personal choice, but the others are just as good)
Thanks for everything Patrick, David, Chris, and all the other folks on this distro (oh yeh, and the umpteen million developers who actually write all the programs/libraries/etc that make up this distro)
I had to stop reading after: "Independent International Investment Research, a British company that specialises in research"..... after that.. it just wasn't worth reading anymore.
Like everyone has already mentioned, if it's a server based application that doesn't have to be pushed out to a ton of clients, using or not using stored proc's doesn't make a whole lot of difference.
Any enterprise level application that is going to be used throughout a large organization now-a-days almost requires a possibly lightweight web interface, more robust or heavy weight application based interface. Using the same routines to access data makes stored procedures a godsend when trying to share functionality at that level.
With the heavy use of webservice like technologies now-a-days, you could really put those in place of (or in conjunction with) stored procedures and have many different interfaces like personalized list of products/prices for a client, and an application interface for those on the LAN that may do some very data intensive or transaction intensive work, and more heavy duty web interface for those on the road.
Having all the raw data access in one area, no matter how it gets accessed, makes things much easier.
Just my opinion, i've really come to rely on them when it comes to something more than a small website type solution.
Why don't they invest the money they waste researching and developing crap that will be cracked by a 15 year old kid in about 10 minutes into something worth while..
like to cancer research affordable housing, feeding starving families, cleaning up cities, more efficient automobiles, alternative energy, etc, etc...
Have to agree with you, I ordered a slackware 3.2 cd from cheapbytes back in 1997 to give it a wirl. Between then and now i must have tried everything under the sun and keep returning back to slack.
Once swaret is up and running, up keep is a breeze as well. Only other systems I found that were close to as effective were gentoo and *bsd.

why do i fear the price of oil rising and somehow having it linked to this... //magic eight balls do not report gamma ray bursts
They produce almost identical ILM... so stomping one is actually stomping the other...

Way to once again discredit the entire case... Darl, give it up, you'll run out of investors and money soon.
seems to be working fine with RC1, unless my install came with extra special compatibility sauce for some reason...
haven't heard of swaret? give it a try sometime, you might be suprised on how easy package and dependancy management is.

If your using hostname headers to distinguish between sites you host then yes, 1 ip can represent an unlimited number of websites.
Try the ISO Recorder Power Toy for WinXP found here:r der.htm

try swaret
You could try scripting all your objects and then using bcp or something to dump the data into something delimited.
It's pretty manual, but should do the trick.
Does anyone remember the old Blacksun VRML service? I just went to there site but it looks like it was taken over by another company.
At the time (1997/1998 i guess) it was pretty damn cool.

I here ya, fried two myself in the span of a week when trying to get the damn fan on.
live http headers version 0.8 that is
I'm using it with 0.9.1 right now, works fine.
dickhead...
If it's treated the same as a drive, you could just create an autorun.inf file in the root of the drive.
D -Icon.ico
see: http://www.ashzfall.com/products/autorun/ or you can create them by hand very easily
ie.
[AutoRun]
open=CD-Start.exe
icon=C

Try Adblock, it'll at least allow you to get rid off (or at least hide) flash/image/iframe ads if you want it too.
