Dude, if you want persistent RAM just fetch some old core memory. There's nothing like soldering your own PDP-11-UNIBUS to CF converter for your IPAQ. No need to worry about battery life 'cause you'd have that diesel generator to lug around.
will no longer be just a "few" messages, but thousands of them. How would you feel if you had to pass an hour each morning sifting through your spam
That's the point. The lawmakers would also receive those thousands of messages, if they know what email is... Nobody gets annoyed from a few spams but think about thousands of spams per day!! It certainly wouldn't last for long and it might put an end to spam for good. This would require that the spam situation gets worse and really fast. Nobody notices a gradual increase anyway.
Oh well, that's a better idea than the email tax that was floating around few years ago:)
I don't get it.. what's so difficult in deleting a few messages that you might not want to read ?
Now before you mod me as troll, just take a moment to think about this: The normal reason why spam is bad is that "Oh, it costs in bandwidth, time, connection charges etc" but has anyone ever calculated how much it costs to set up RBL+ , ORBZ etc. ? I did some analysis when evaluating RBL+ (now that it's pay-per-view) and decided that I can always delete those five messages a day (on average).
Besides, if all network admins would unblock all spamhousen maybe the "penis extension"-emails would give a "boost" to the "economy"..
Yeah, backups are cheap if you think that having mirrored drives and RAID-N qualify as backups. It might be good for your MP3s until your facility burns down.
One option would be remote-site clustering as in this nice example.
Trust me, off-line storage and off-site backups are the way to go.
I'd really like to read the article but it's slashdotted or traindotted but what about backups ? At least here in Hawaii the DLT drives cost a bundle and what's the use for a terabyte of data that could go away any day ?
It's like proclaiming/dev/null as my trillion-terabyte disk array.
Check out Frank Siegerts excellent suite
of programs at http://www.this.net/~frank/
and you can get a VNC client from there.
Works nicely on black hardware and 3.3.
Anyway, one of the few companies that actually might make profit would be google. It's so unbelievably cool that I'd be happy to pay a few bucks a month just to use it.

It sure gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling.
