Hahaha! I get it... because the enormous ammount of traffic generated from the Slashdot link would overwhelm the box. That's sort of funny...
Oh wait... it's not funny at all. I forgot -- this same joke has been repeated over and over and over and over again to no end in every single Slashdot article since the beginning of time.
My high school also -- for whatever reason -- chose to utilize the MDF room and various IDF closets around campus as a place for electrical transformers, etc. Needless to say, most of the rooms are around 100 degrees at any given time. I found one IDF closet last week, however, that has got to be at least 130 degrees (not an exaggeration). I almost passed out after being in it for only a few minutes. I'm just counting the days until some of the Cisco routers start blowing up.
I just installed the Linux binaries on my FreeBSD box and they ran perfectly. Installing was as easy as untarring and running./phoenix. Very, very fast.
Many thanks go to the developers of Phoenix. Keep up the good work.. 8)

Ugh... Don't you people ever get tired of the same joke being repeated endlessly? How is it that this "Looks like they're serving the website out of " gets modded Funny every single time!?!
This has (partially) been accomplished for NFS on Unix boxen using AMD (Auto-Mounting Daemon). I agree that it would be really great to see something like this implemented for the SMB protocol that was as cross-compatible with different Unices and Linux distros as AMD is. If anyone knows of something to accomplish this, speak up! I'd love hear about it.
I figured there would be at least one reply of this type. After all, it's Slashdot. It's called _SARCASM_. Jesus. If you honestly thought I was being serious it's perhaps fair to assume you'd benefit from a more extravagant social life?
the kid isn't getting a good education anyway, plagarisim or not. In the long run, it will only hurt the plagarizer anyway.
On that same note: All children ages two and up should be given loaded automatic weapons. I mean, if they're going to hurt somebody, they'd do it with or without that gun anyway, so what's the harm in just giving it to them?
I had that same experience. A note to all of you. NEVER, I repeat, NEVER buy a cheap, generic 'CompUSA brand" power supply.
Last year I built a new Athlon machine. One week later, as I was turning it on, the power supply completely blew. I'm talking, electrical fire, smoke, extremely loud popping noises, the works. So, I brought it into CompUSA, they claimed it was something _I_ had done. Or, that it was faulty hardware. They refused to believe their cheap power supplies couldn't run at the wattage they were marked as. So, I got a free replacement (the same brand). Sure enough, one week later, it blew up again, randomly. At 2:00 AM. I brought it back. They STILL claimed it was not their power supply. I demanded a non-generic power supply made by a trusted company. They wouldn't give me the discount so I was forced to spend even more money. Sure enough, I've had the non-CompUSA power supply in my computer for a whole year now. It's never once failed, and this machine runs 24x7.
The moral of the story is, you get what you pay for. 8)
Laptop: 1. Clicking keys. Possibly annoying paying cutomers. 2. Most LCD screens are pretty bright. Sounds like another annoyance to paying customers. 3. General machine noise. Fans and the like can be pretty annoying. Especially to those around it. 4. There's always the chance that some schmoe will turn on AOL, forgetting their volume has been left full blast. As "You've got Mail!" roars through the theatre, it's sure to cause mass panic.
Yep, Google runs on a cluster of approximately 4,000 1U servers. Each can be pulled and replaced including automatic configuration/loading of the operating system and software configuration within about 20 minutes I believe. Pretty neat setup.

I agree completely. With the click of a few buttons, I could block ads from any site I wanted across my LAN. But you know what? I have yet to ad slashdot.org to this list.
I think most of the people who read slashdot are intelligent enough to realize the cost of running an extremely popular site such as this one.Because of that, they're more than willing to put up with a few banner ads regardless of how easy it would be for them to block it.
No. You idiot. I was implying that 'Wends' IS the correct term. I pointed to dictionary.com so that yourself and the other illiterate idiots floating around here could read the definition of Wend and stop trolling your mindless babble all over this discussion.
I agree completely. Anyone who fails to differentiate between a _movie_ and a real life situation (regardless of whether the movie is based on real-life events) sickens me.
I'm getting awfully tired of this "patriotism". Mindlessly spouting "God Bless America" isn't helping anybody. 95% of these people were affected in no way by the September 11th attacks. By affected, I don't mean a 3 percent drop in your paycheck due to economical issues. I mean directly affected, as in had a close friend die, lost a home, things of that nature.
I enjoy living in America, I don't take for granted the priveledges the constitution gives me. So, I'm not saying this as an ignorant "anti American". I'm saying this as an American, who's gotten awfully sick of all the media hype surrounding this event.

Think about it for a moment.

1. Clicking keys. Possibly annoying paying cutomers.
2. Most LCD screens are pretty bright. Sounds like another annoyance to paying customers.
3. General machine noise. Fans and the like can be pretty annoying. Especially to those around it.

It's about general respect for paying customers.
