You might consider locating both your organization and it's infrastructure in a friendlier country so you don't get shut-down by your government. Lot's of non-profit projects and groups are involved in activities that are not legal in California.
If you are running I/O intensive applications, there is no subsitute for SCSI. IDE is still too braindead to do the job effectivly with decent interactive, multitasking performance. Don't waste your companies time on fiddling with consumer level hardware in a professional environment.
How much is your time worth? How much is this application worth to your company? In a professional server, SCSI is not expensive.
The article mentions that the object is to keep people from using cash, and one to do that is Internet banking, to be sure. an older, more traditional way is to write a cheque to pay your bills. No cash, just a note telling the bank to transfer some numbers from your account to someone elses.
I don't know about your country, but here in Canada, only about 5% of the money supply is cash, the rest is deposits at banks.
In other words, if all Canadians wanted all their "money" turned into cash, there is not enough. We would get 5 cents on the dollar (or only the first 5% of the people would get any money) Modern economies do not run on cash, and have not in my lifetime, nor, I suspect, in the lifetime of anyone reading this.
Of course, this only affects the middle class on up. I don't know what percent of the population in Argentina does not use banks.
As usual, a simple search on google turns up lots of links. Like this which describes a "Linux installation on an Apple iBook" as a triple boot system with Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, and Debian Linux. You then run your PC emulator in OS 9.
I have setup machines in Guatemala using SuSE. It gave me the option early in the setup process to choose the language, so I went with Spanish as there was no choice for Kiche or Mam.
I didn't have the cd's with me, so I did a ftp install, it took overnight on their 64k connection. SuSE has pdf's of all their manuals in Spanish, so if you can print those out, the monks can learn all about Linux.
And I recently saw a site from a Ciber Cafe in Columbia that ran everything on Linux, I seem to remember them running a support group as well.
You might want to find out if there is a local Linux User Group.
'Discussions of rights and rules for software have often concentrated on the interests of programmers alone. Few people in the world program regularly, and fewer still are owners of proprietary software businesses. But the entire developed world now needs and uses software, so software developers now control the way the world lives, does business, communicates and is entertained. The ethical and political issues are not addressed by the slogan of "freedom of choice (for developers only)".'

A bit (lot?) more capable is a couple of USB Digital Audio Processor's from Onkyo, a MSE-U33HB and a SE-U55
I don't have any direct experience with these, but a quick Google search should turn up several reviews.
I don't have much in the way of recommendations, (apart from OT ones) but you might want to look at this article.

>life on earth was seeded from outer space."
Now all you need is a theory on where life in outer space was seeded from?
And slashdot.org And linux.com And google.com
So that makes him a good cop. Good at the "reactive role", lousy at prevention. Explains the MS model of security perfectly.
Like this one!

theregister also mentions this, along with the idea that using SSH instead of Telnet is the quick solution.

Ever heard of 802.11b? A little bit of equipment and you can blanket a city with 5-6Mb of bandwidth.
On a side topic, anyone out there know any pricewatch type sites in other countries?
I have been under the impression that firewire drives (hard drives, cdrws, what ever) are simply ide drives with an adaptor.
Do the drive manufactures actually make Drives with a native firewire interface?

>Intelligence and IQ are two very, very different things.
That was my thought on seeing the Headline as well. Intellegence has a weal link to IQ, not a strong one.
