You admin > 500 windows servers? I don't know if I have to respect you for keeping them running, or have pity for same. But as you tell enterprises windows is the choice for servers, I think it's the latter...
I have java, javascript and css enabled and don't have problems either. This might have something to do with me running mozilla on linux tho.
For spam, I let spam assassin do its work, and very rarely see spam coming through.
But then again, I can't go back to windows. I am too used to my heavily customised unix-like (in this case gentoo) desktop. So spyware isn't really a concern for me.
I got a really nice backpack by Trunk&Co, a subbrand of samsonite. It's big, has a padded pocket for your laptop, a pocket for your mp3/cd/whatever player (including a passage for the headphones), and lotsa pockets to put cables, mice and pcmcia cards.
I found all that out after I bought it tho, because I wanted a laptop bag which didn't look like a laptop bag...;)
This probably has been said allready, but ever thought that the neighborhood was destroyed not by the drug pushers and addicts but because of the draconian laws against drugs.
Say one would make it fully legal. You'll get something like the alcohol industry. The pushers will dissapear because it isn't profitable to stand on street corners trying to get people to use drugs.
The government also can put more control over it, like keeping kids off it.
Or just legalize weed like we do here (kinda). It will stop people who would just smoke weed (which I see as rather harmless, WAY less harmfull than say alcohol). If weed is illegal you get your weed at a pusher, who probably will also be selling harder drugs like cocain, heroin, extacy or whatever. These products make more profit for him than weed so he tries to push cocaine on them, saying it is "so much better". And as the smoker never had any education about drugs, or just has been told that they are bad. He will get the coke because he thinks its just as bad as weed but the effect is so much better.
So I think the neighborhood you describe is destroyed by the illegality of drugs, not drugs itself.
It has all the editing features of emacs and the (for me) nice interface of vi.;) And I dont like the control keystrokes at all compared to vi style of doing the same.
"You can do everything in emacs, shame it doesn't have a good texteditor"
Well BSD userland is mostly BSD licenced with only a few gnu tools thrown in. (like gcc) So calling it GNU/FreeBSD just because of those few tools wouldn't be appropriate
Indeed, total control is nice, thats why I run OSS *nix in the first place. If I want something automated I better well had to tell it to do that. I don't like it when I don't know what my system is doing.
The only reason I use X is to run multiple terms, xmms and mozzie firebird. For all automation I go for perl.;)
I used to have a gentoo install with a JFS partition for the system on my laptop. The laptop ran so slow that I reinstalled the whole thing with reiserfs, now it runs so much faster, so how could JFS come in so high on the benchmarks while my experience has been that its dog slow?
Well I'm not talking about just my friends, but also about my fathers friends and my boss and friends. No one here would buy a region dependant dvd player
What the hell is wrong with middleclick? It seems to work in allmost all of the apps I use. And the one app that doesn't accept this is rdesktop, which is understandable.
Not trying to start a flamewar but I never had a problem with pasting in x.
Well that might be where you live but here in the netherlands the public knowledge about DVD encryption is quite high, you won't find many people with a region bound player here.
Actually I just saw this quote in a comment from someone else and I liked it enough. I run debian unstable on my laptop and like it, but still I would not like to run debian on my farm, alltho it would be my first choice if I wanted to run a linux. It's not just the package system (alltho ports is for source packages, apt-get is for binaries, bsd has its own binary packages whicha are very reliable) its the feeling I get with all linux distros that its just a kernel and some utils thrown together, it just doesn't feel very robust to me.
Well I am a drum and bass nut myself but I love going to clubs and see DJ's I like perform. Sure sometimes its a bad set with the MC fucking it up, but other times its a wild set with records I know being mixed in each other to create something new or the DJ dropping a new tune which is just wild. And just to see how the crowd reacts to the set.
Oh and if you meet a girl there you at least know that you like the same music.;)
And here I'm talking about a style of music which is allmost totally electronic, good bands can go even further than this.

And your complaining about this?! Seems the project manager has good taste IMHO

You can pry my mutt from my cold dead hands...
;))
But honestly it seems like it's email sorted by thread and put in an IM like view. Why not just use an IM client? (Jabber preferred
I know I'm going to get modded to hell for this but how about a w3c compliant html/css implementation?

I prefer vim.

If you want people to take you seriously, maybe you should learn to spell the word "ever". Anyway, have fun trolling "tah intarweb".
Hours wasted on something you shouldn't have to do in the first place.

Thank you for that, that would explain it as my hd is indeed 5400rpm and my cpu is an amd xp1800+.
Maybe but my opinion of jfs is not so good atm, if someone would know why this is, I would greatly appreciate any possible explanation for this.

Well it is not so much about knowing about the specifics, but everyone I know knows they should get a region free player.

Not that I dissagree with the parent comment but sometimes you really wish you could just mod something "-1 Bad Formatting"
Uhm not to nitpick, but we here in the netherlands don't have much whores on streetcorners. We have more of them behind glass with red lights.
If you are referring to OpenBSD, you didn't even read the slashdot posting right, it doesn't affect OpenBSD.

Well, windows dns, maradns, powerdns... etc etc.
;)
Or they are like me and use djbdns, and won't go back..
There is a patch for djbdns, but they're not official so I wouldn't reccomend blindly using them.
Well I am a drum and bass nut myself but I love going to clubs and see DJ's I like perform.
