I had my first kernel panic in a production server last week. The system ran fine for nearly a year, within a week of running up2date, and having it automatically building a new kernel, I got a kernel panic in the middle of the night.
So far no problems with packages, just build your kernel yourself!
There is the problem, for many GPL'd products that I want to incorporate into mine, I'd be willing to pay a reasonable fee to be able to use commercially. But the GPL stops me from doing this because I can't sell my program with a little bit of code, without giving mine away also.........I don't have a staff to support the product, so how can I use GPL'd software and make money? 95% of the people would d/l it and not donate/pay! If I could lisence the software from someone for $20-2,000 depending on the product, that would allow me to make money, and you (makers of GPL'd product).
I like to contribute to the community (I do work on several Open Source projects in my spare time, but I won't have much spare time if I can't make money selling my software.
Any ideas on what do to? The GPL only works for hobbyists(sp?), and large companies that can make most of their money in the support areas of their GPL'd program. Is there any way a small 2-8 person company can either release their own programs and make money under the GPL, or use GPL'd programs to incorporate into theirs and make money? I have read thousands of articles and posts (literally), written to GNU, and FSF, posted and read in NG's and have yet heard a good answer to the above question (BTW, it has been over a year and neither GNU nor FSF have replied). I can't remember when or who, but when I read on slashdot that some big GPL proponent even said that GPL wasn't for small companies or individuals, thats when I figured it was doomed as a license for MOST programmers who like to not starve and sleep on the street. I'd love to hear a reason why I'm wrong!
I have just ordered DSL and I already have a small lan setup at my house. Unfortunatly I can't get a static IP, how can I have requests to mydomainname.tld always goto my server, even if I disconnect for a sec.(thus changing IPs)? Please give me some advice, thanks
First let me say I don't know, so this is mostly a question, but I was under the impression california(or anywhere) could buy electricity off of the grid from other states(Ca could buy from TN) so if the drilling in Alaska produced more electricity anywhere, couldn't CA buy some of it? I know that isn't the same as CA producing it, but same net(although more expensive).
BTW, I'm not supporting the Alaska drilling, just an observation.
Also I blame CA for their problems, they didn't want nuclear power plants so, they don't have power...They have several nuclear plants that aren't operational(state gov't/ca voters) shut them down...so its their own fault.
I also remember reading an article years ago in Popular machanics(or science) about "growing" an island and I kind of remember them saying they were going to channel ocean currents through an enclosed area and that would produce electricity(hydo principles)...is that an option for costal areas where lakes are going dry(OR)? An offshore hydro-electric plant? Just braingstorming....

It is not brute force, using advanced versions of alpha-beta pruning, with very sophisticated heuristics can lead to excellent results.

I bought 2 full size comp. rackounts, plus all kinds of other "junl" all total for $50 at a gov't auction.
