The school district I'm in seems to be utterly clueless. It took them 2 days to figure out that someone had turned off TCP/IP protocol on a bunch of the routers. They were bay networks POS things (just sending a blank UDP packet to them shut them down), and the sysadmin didn't seem to know how to type "enable ip base" (BTW, he should have looked at the logs and seen my telnet command "disable ip base")
I think that school districts are both authoritative and ignorant. This makes them danegerous if you get caught.
So you're saying that windows sucks on slow CPUs but is ok against competitors on faster computers?
Even if I did agree with you, how is MSSQL going to handle 6TB of data? Do you have any evidence (besides MS terra server which is a HUGE cluster) that a single MSSQL database server can process 6TB of data? With mySQL I have had no problems with memory leaks, infinite loops, etc, and I've had as little as 20MB os disk space and 400k of memory (including swap) free.
BTW, I have a reason to run Win2k on a 486: Because I can.
Yes, you are shooting in the dark, but your kind of close. Casinos don't use 486's too often.
I used SQL on a much smaller scale than a large info-gathering corporation, but if MSSQL goes slow on my system when compared to mySQL, then I am pretty sure that the problem will scale up. It's just the same code getting executed faster. It would be like an Acura NSX towing a bicycle trailer compared to a Dodge Ram towing a boat. The forces are just greater on the truck. Your "gasoline" (if your engine were the CPU), in this (somewhat unlikely) analogy is either MSSQL or mySQL. If mySQL works good in the small car, why shouldn't it work good in the truck? Yes, I know it's dumb, but you started it.
There are plenty of true things about MS you could pick on them for without having to make shit up.
I'm not making anything up. Have you ever tried running win2k and MSSQL on a 486SX running at 33mhz? It just doesn't work. I have used mySQL on Linux and it works fine. Maybe you should get some real life experience with SQL instead of talking to me about Terra server running on a giant cluster of win2k boxes.

MGM Mirage can sort its 6TB of data on Microsoft Corp. SQL Server databases
I see two problems to this:
Where do they store 6TB of data?
Wouldn't sorting a 6TB SQL database on a win2k server take a million years?
Just wondering.

After the hybrid crops were introduced in India, China, and the Indonesias, it was found out that they were less resistant to natural pests. To compensate, farmers had to spray more pesticides on them.
Also, to get more yield out of their fields, farmers stopped growing other crops and devoted land only to the hybrid plants. This meant that pests could feed on the weak hybrids all year round. Pest populations went out of control, since the natural predators of them were killed by pesticides. Now, most farmers have reverted to crop rotation and the use of natural plants.
Until someone can make a crop that grows faster, is more resistant to pests, uses less nutrients, and doesn't cause harm to the environment, then we will continue to use normal crops. That is not a good thing, since they are worse on the land, but farmers have a bottom line too.
I am amazed at how you and your friends have migrated from windows to linux. I get MUCH higher framerates in linux quake than in windows.
I'm not sure where to find linux VoIP software (at least open source, anyway) If I were more of an avid gamer, I would demand that software companies make their games function on linux systems just as good as on windows boxes. I can see it now: the OS Equaltiy Act.
All software must work equally well on all operating systems, regardless of race, ethnic background, or the amount of money that was put into its development...
Just wondering, what constitutes port scanning? How many TCP ports need to be probed in how much time to be defined as port scanning? Does a program have to used? If I send 50 http GET requests to a computer within one second, is that port scanning? What about 50 TCP requests to a computer to 50 different ports in one second? I want to know!
Although your ping would suck compared to DSL or cable, it would be better than a 56k modem. (I frequently get 2000+ pings on some TFC servers) I bet people would love to run small web servers using the satillite instead of a modem where you get dissed once every 12-24 hours. Also, the speeds are significantly faster. If you have the money, you can get one of these even if you live in the northern territories.
I find it funny that this technology will wire Canada before the US and even some Euorpean nations.
I have a Pentium 166 acting as a web server and it only has a fan for the power supply. It's not particularly quiet, but the CPU only needs a huge heatsink. I know that even some Pentium 3's running at 500mhz don't have fans on them, but use the power supply fan to move air over the CPU and help cool it. You shouldn't need to underclock your computer to turn the fan off if it is a Pentium 166. An AMD will make a little more heat and may need to be slowed down a little, though.
I posted this comment with a 486SX/33mhz with 24 megs of 60ns EDO (parity) RAM. I have overclocked it to 100mhz and thown on a heatsink that I "borrowed" from a school computer. I am also running Apache 1.3.19 while using Nescape in X.
These old things are still very useful. I use my 486 for developing C, C++, and PERL programs. I can connect to the internet over my home LAN (where another 486 is a router/firewall). I also use it to develop a game, Spatial Disruption where we actually used this 486 as a web server with over 100 people playing.
486's and low end Pentiums have thier usefulness in many aspects of computing. They may not be fast, but they get the job done, especially if you overclock them! The efficency of Linux or a BSD distro also helps out. Windows is just too big and slow for these computers if you want to do what I'm doing with them. Oh yeah, another advantage, they are usually cheap or FREE!
My version of windows 95 A (the diskette version) came with Internet Explorer 2.0 and Hyperterminal.
IE 2.0 Didn't support gif89-A, Javascript, Java, or ActiveX (/me laughs).
Given the fact that parents are legally reponsible for making sure their kids are in school and not out getting into trouble (not to mention that this is also a basic part of good parenting), I'm not sure what the problem is here.
Parents may be legally responsible, but they should trust their teen just a little bit. If you can't trust your teen, they won't trust you. They will find other people that they can trust, whether those people are good or bad doesn't matter. Good parenting is ensuring that your child grows up to become a productive member of society. Watching your teen constantly will make them stray farther away from you, makeing your duty as a parent harder.
Also, what is to stop someone from breaking into the system and doing everything from changing lunch menus to grades to detention slips? Just once, we should trust teens and give them some freedom. Teens need freedom to become adults.
...but the fact is that certain kids demand constant monitoring...
The only teens that need constant monitoring are ones in jail. Most will learn from thier mistakes and try another behavior. This is the process of becoming an adult. If we are treated like children, we will behave like children. If we are treated as adults, we will behave like adults.
You, yourself started thinking like an adult because of a drinking party. Maybe you should reconsider your viewpoint.You cannot control who your child will become, you can only advise them and form a mutual, trusting bond with them.
Here's my theory on that:
The laptop would split into three peices:
1. The screen.
2. The left part of the keyboard. (also containing the CPU and memory.)
3. The right part of the keyboard/mouse (containing the hard drive and battery).
They would all be hooked together by wires for power while bluetooth radio would allow communication between all the parts.
