RAID 1 is not a back up. RAID arrays can get corrupted then where do you sit. Earlier this year we had a hard drive go bad on one of our servers (RAID 5).... all the data got corrupted. Ya, I know its not supposed to happen that way, but it does. We were able to get all the files back from the previous night backup (the files were backed up to tape).
The moral of this story.... tape drive, tape drive tape drive. Do NOT rely on RAID to keep your data safe.
I prefer using my laptop outside in the middle of winter in Wisconsin. Luckily I will be going to Michigan Tech next year so the same cooling method will still work.
Throttling traffic to a crawl: A good initial idea, but this will lead to teachers complaining about the network being slow in general, and when you ask what they are doing when it is slow, they will "Not know". Think on this if you are going to do it. See the "blocking ports" section.
Bull shit. Schools dont pay for internet access to be used for downloading music. If teachers are complaining about the network being slow and forget what they are doing when it is slow tell them "Well, the network speeds are fine for me. I can't help you if I dont know what program you are running so I can test it." or "Next time this problem happens just call/page me. I will be right down." If P2P is that big of a problem throttle them down to almost nothing. (5 packets/minute)
Also remember to mention how sharing music on a P2P network is illegal and can have lawsuits brought against the school district for allowing such activity. Send them this link to check out too.
somebody will reverse engineer this thing and find out that they used an ogg-vorbis based codec, only changing it slightly to make it incompatible with ogg players, AND not realesing the source code for the changes.
Good way to counter piracy by violating the GPL and the rights of the Ogg dev crew.
In the past few days on Slashdot many a story has been posted about how your grandma can start using Linux.... this is another one of them....
even though I am not an AOL fan I think that this will expose linux to a bigger crowd of people that use AOL for internet access....
WOW... My mom had a gateway computer shipped to her house via UPS. The box only had very minor damage. All cards were in place, even the video card that wasn't screwed in place.

Careful, they will charge you royalties for that moment.
Just give them the simple choice, pay for the replacement or dont take final exams.
To me it appears that disk 1 might be NHL 2003.
Then what about the IE builds for Solaris and HP-UX

There is probably a usb.i floppy image that you could use to create a bootable CD.
You start selling small.... not an item worth $150,000+.
This guy really knows how to avoid the /. effect.
Just blame it on UPS

What a way to hide your pr0n collection from you mom, just put these CDs in old 5.25" floppies.
I believe the options for gcc is 'gcc -m64'

Do you still need the every 20th mount fsck???
A friend of mine who works at Target has already had to remove power from the XBox to get it to reset after it froze up.
