ACKKKK!! Will everyone PLEASE stop talking about Lynx as if people still use it!!!
And if you are using it, get a clue! I have handhelds that can run Firebird or Ie just fine! In all seriousness, I use the browser that takes the least time to open, and on a fresh install of XP Pro w/ swap file turned off and all patches applied, IE opens in a snap, so I will keep using it.:) Firebird is pretty close second as far as opening speed. Anyone else have a good graphical browser that is very very fast to open? Not fast for page renders, I just want the program up as soon as I hit the button!
All those folk with a cell phone?? You allready have one of these, no need to fret. Just have 3 base stations sent pings to your phone, triangulate position, and big brother will be there shortly. Oh, your phone is not turned on? Sok, no need for it to be on. This type of device continues to become more popular, and the amount of power that goes into the hands of people who control this is amazing. Just because its in the terms of service that they will not release this information, how much would it take for someone who REALLY wanted to find you to go see a low level tech @ the cell phone place, pay a bit of $$, and whamo get your exact position and heading. The age of privacy has been over for a long time, people are just waking up too it.
I agree. We have a NAS maxtor MaxAttach, which has a SCSI port on the back just for a tape drive. I think that the largest Maxtor drive right now is right around 600 gigs (ours is 300 gigs), but it would be simple enough to replace the drives with larger ones. Then just slap a LTO drive on the back and setup your backup to tape to run every night, and overwrite your backup to disk to keep the maxtor clean, and you will have a fast recent backup and slower snapshots on tapes.:)
Can someone please explain to me why they need to have a 'Preferences', a 'Tools', a 'System Settings', a 'Utilities', and a damn 'Control Center'!!! MAKE A CONTROL PANEL!! Put it all in the same place!! Every time I go to look for a dang program setting I have to wade through menu options forever! Is this some strange organizational system that makes sense to everyone else but me?!??:)
Now the same thrill we got killing monsters or solving quests, we can get by killing an opponent that thinks and reasons just as fast as we do. Its a lot more challanging to kill a real person in game then a scripted bot.:)
Hehe, you have never had 8 people in a room, all playing Dark Age of Camelot and hunting on the frontier. The tension is amazing sometimes, and once battle is joined, you get a group dynamic that is awesome. There is nothing like it.:)
People like yourself, who want a free open source OS, but care very little for the general public. F%#k em, you think, because they dont know about Linux, just let em fry with DRM and big brother breathing down windows update and back doors. Because they dont know linux they are beneath me.
Then there is the second type. These linux users enjoy helping other people out, and introducing them to a wonderful open source operating system. These type of users help others out on message boards, even when they are asked the same newbie question over and over, because they realize that there is a learning curve to a new OS.
Lets try and be a type 2 man, there are a lot of people out there who dont know anything about linux, or dont know enough to actually start USING it for everyday purposes. You flaming the boards just makes them want to stick with windows just to avoid your elitist bullshit attitude. Grow up.
I dont believe the article said ANYWHERE it was free.
Because it will run on Linux, you assume it is? You know,, Linux will never become the de-facto OS if people are not willing to PAY for developers to make software for it.
OK, but look at how he has it setup: several systems with lots of HDD's in each. You could presumably setup one of those systems to store redundent information in it. You could designate 2 systems as hot spares, and swap them off site.:)
My first thought on seeing this was: Netscape. Not mozilla, I'm talking old school netscape look. I toyed with it for about 5 minutes, and I think I will stick with Studio MX thank you!:)
And it needs to import all our bloated exchange 5.5 crud!!!!!! I'm sorry, its tough to convince everyone in this organization to switch when we are going to loose all 14 gigs of our data store.:P
But then your logic would seem to lead to the assumption that a person who holds a PhD is 'more knowledgable' or somehow more able to make a decision that will effect all those non-educated people. I thinkn that is a definite problem. Just because your folks had the cash to send you to school long enough to cram a degree down your throat does not in some magical way gift you with common-sense. That is much more a function of upbringing and experience. I think you will find that most people with common sense stay OUT of politics, and the few that decide to get into it make excellent representatives.
Are you just concerned with job security or what man?? Thats a rediculous attitude. Sure, we have a spreadsheet for all our fixed IP systems (servers, email, firewalls, etc) but to have each client have a fixed IP is not realistic in an enterprise. Systems die, things change, and if you would rather spend valuable IT time solving IP conflicts be my guest, but I have TONS more important things to do.:P
1) The leather padded seat (folding chairs suck ass) 2) The tower with 6 HDD's all with rounded cables and neon light kit for oohs and ahhs 3) The flat panel monitor (beats lugginng that old viewsonic P810 21", you know which one I'm talkin about) 4) Premium headphones with extension cable (nothing worse than gettin cozy with your PC since that 5 foot cable barely come to the front of your pc) 5) And last but not least, a laptop, to scour the network with ShareScan and download movies, iso's, and games while fragging your friends into oblivian.

Yea, but if you get a firewall and block incoming SMTP you should be all set. :)
They dont have to radiate energy, they just have to be in range of the tower. :P

But if you give us the URL of your web site, the kind folks here at /. would be happy to give it a load test for ya. :)
You think forgers dont have access to those kind of resources?? They PRINT money! :)
Hehe, Takes on a whole new meaning now, eh?
Hrmm, if I ping flood the north pole will I cause global flooding? Hrmm, wonder if I can just chmod the boarders to keep terrorists out.. *grin*

not open source, but sometimes easier to download than a new version of linux. :)

See, there are 2 camps of Linux people.
People like yourself, who want a free open source OS, but care very little for the general public. F%#k em, you think, because they dont know about Linux, just let em fry with DRM and big brother breathing down windows update and back doors. Because they dont know linux they are beneath me.

Dude, that's the best sig I have ever seen, I think I ruptured something laughing at it...
Light a man a fire, and he's warm for the night. Light a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
Low end dell server: about 500 bucks
:)
Escelade 4 port IDE RAID card: around 200 bucks
200 Gig Drives X 5: say 249 each, = 1245
Total Cost: 1945
And thats 1000 GB of un-raided space, so will end up being more than 600 GB raid 5.

Maybe those mathmatic types dont know that is's spelled CURB not KERB, lol
Hey, big suggestion here, and I might just be stupid. But..
:P
Turn your computer off!!!
Its that easy, realy it is. If it doesnt have power, nobody can listen!
Jesus people, just buy a copy of Win98 and run all your precious Windows appz, but please quit trying to make Linux JUST LIKE windows!!!
And it needs to import all our bloated exchange 5.5 crud!!!!!! I'm sorry, its tough to convince everyone in this organization to switch when we are going to loose all 14 gigs of our data store. :P

No, we rich geeks bring it all too.
1) The leather padded seat (folding chairs suck ass)
2) The tower with 6 HDD's all with rounded cables and neon light kit for oohs and ahhs
3) The flat panel monitor (beats lugginng that old viewsonic P810 21", you know which one I'm talkin about)
4) Premium headphones with extension cable (nothing worse than gettin cozy with your PC since that 5 foot cable barely come to the front of your pc)
