You can run Apache, perl and PostgeSQL without being root. Ask your admin for two things: port 80 mapping to 8080 and calling your startup.sh after boot (I do so in rc.local). And you're there.
The best vodka is home-made one. We russians call it 'samogon'. We use activated coal and some chemicals to filter samogon. Filtering cheap mass production vodka is much more complex process because sometimes cheap vodka is made of synthetic ethanol, which contains really weird byproducts (up to 1% of polyethylene!).
I believe that brita filters are more advanced devices than charcoal filters. I should try it with samogon.
I don't see anything special. Lots of people work this way in countries other than USA just to feed their families. Sister of my friend has to work 12 hours almost every day just to feed herself! Only skilled workers like me and state employees work 8 hours 5 days a week.
That's what I'm talking about. In many smaller countries (eg Latvia) only parliament (~100 people) elects the president. Effective way to elect the president.
Being russian, I was amused by this too. I live in Latvia, where piracy is less widespread. But I found in Russia CDs that no longer available at any "real" or Inet stores in Europe! Yes, these CDs were illegal, but legal ones do not exist anymore.
You should never rely on these small black boxes! Yes, they do basic NAT fine (for me). Yes, they have no moving parts. But they are stupid when it comes to packet filtering or security problems.
When you have problems with *BSD or Linux, you search through forums and maillists. You read manuals. You can upgrade kernel and userland.
When you have problems with these broadband routers, the best you can do is firmware upgrade. Will they provide security and bug fixes after year or two? I guess no.
The price of black box is comparable to an old but still strong computer. The value is much less. Commercial routers with value comparable to *nix box are more expensive than new computer.
Broadband router is quick and easy solution, but never use them for yourself! Go and buy old Pentium or Celeron without HDD and use *nix on it.
The _only_ way to get cyrillic letters right is to use MS TrueType fonts. There are very few free fonts but they are either low quality or incomplete (no serbian glyphs in particular). I have fonts.tgz which I untar on every Linux/*BSD computer that I use.
In Soviet Army huge amounts of TNT were used to emulate nuclear explosion. Eyewitness of one such explosion told me that they exploded entire cargo train of TNT. It was cheaper and less dangerous than atomic bomb, but very realistic.
We use cygwin rsync+ssh as for backup purposes and data exchange between remote offices. This is the best solution we've found so far. Each office runs rsync every minute. Data is transferred via Linux server.
There are drawbacks too. For example, you cannot store SSH key on mapped network drive. And do not use it with Windows 98, bash script and rsync will hang after 1-2 hours.
...have been unable to get email to one another reliably. Attachments disappear or become garbled, mail disappears into the great beyond, or arrives hours after it has been sent, even within the same ISP.
Hire good part-time admin. Get better MUA. Really. Looks like e-mail works fine for everyone but your company.
There are professional medium-format cameras with digital sensor. They do more than 20Mpx at $10-15k. I'm waiting for the day when I can afford one of them...
You can use minimal Slackware installation without Gnome and KDE. You need only X, Gtk and image viewer like qiv. You don't need even window manager. Simply put images to root window.
There must be only one rw filesystem for images. Use ReiserFS (or any other fs) in sync mode and don't care about proper shutdown anymore:)
Since there's no binary-only programs, one can use the same do-it-yourself approach almost on any hardware supported by Linux or NetBSD.
Wow! I have never seen such a stupid document before! Even in hospitals and schoools:) It looks like it was designed for little kids only. Are authors serious or just kidding?

There is USM preview.

Isn't it stupid? Simple survey of 1% of voters will give almost the same result as real elections but with smaller resource consumption (cheaper etc).

All that I see on my servers is 1-2% Gecko-based clients.

That's true. No fun.
Two days ago I compiled NetBSD 2 on Slackware Linux and created bootable release CD (no X, ~112MB). Then I sucessfully installed it at home on qemu.
Is there any other OS with mobility like this?
Any NetBSD/PPC users here?

It looks like Hotmail staff finelly discovered procmail and /dev/null.
At least pure 2.6.5 from kernel.org running on P4 2GHz.
My friend told me that A52 can be turned into A55 by firmware upgrade. I think that it is still possible with more expensive phones too.
Note that gs doesn't render this PDF correctly. I have the same problem too :( Look at two words above "Filinis".
Imagine beowulf cluster of these :)

Over years, Linux development team has become an enterprise. Finally they realised that they need accounting.
