The problem is that DDoS is inherent to the Internet network design - simple network flow issue. So we can't unfortunately get rid of DDoS attacks unless we somehow redesign Internet as a whole (maybe more intelligent routers?), which won't be exactly easy thing to do...
The problem is - did you vote for Bush or for God?
Every time in human history whenever people in power started to say "God told me to do so", it wasn't really that they would receive orders from 'virtual entity' but rather to justify their criminal actions - Be it european crusades, be it terrorism.
You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain."
Why do people keep forgetting that even the Ten commandaments expresively warn against it ?
By saying "god told me to do so" you move completely secular decision (going to war) - presumably based on reason - into dogmatic (religious, faith based) - based on faith - domain.
The argument moves from whether what you are doing is right and reasonably logically justified to whether you 'believe' enough, people start accusing others of heresy, are burned on stakes, etc. (same applies to "partiotism" btw).
This always ends up in a disaster - people try to show their faith by doing bigger and bigger evil: "Hey! I truly believe in my God/Allah/Whatever, I killed 3000 people whilst you only 10! My belief is stronger, you bloody infidel!
Is that really what you want? Europans learnt )I hope) this hundreds years ago - the hard way.
Yes, they did benefit. Their use of Linux can be actually seen as a kind of outsourcing.
With Linux present, they don't have to build they own OS (AIX,...) historically different for each platform. Now they have an OS which runs on everything from cell phones to biggest mainframes (no training for customers), comes with no cost
(expenditures are how you compete on a free market, remember?). Yes, it's not perfect - that's why they are adding things like JFS, LVM, threading.. and getting entire OS in return.
No no no, China *needs* to harvest space resources quite soon - in order to improve lives of your "common" people. World is already experiencing shortage of iron/etc EXACTLY because of massive growth in China. And their needs will be only bigger and bigger - you simply need another source of resources - Space. Simply put, our civilisation is starting to outgrow this little piece of rock we are living on.
Why do you think that NATted, say, fridge is a good idea ? How do you think I'll be able to check what's in it remotely ? Think of using browser on your cellphone to do that.
To your second point, NAT done by ISP is even worse - you are not able to "serve" any data. You have false sense of security -like cracker wardriving around your neighbour's open WiFi AP and therefore gaining access to your so called "secure" intranet.
The fact that useful technology for remote home access is not here yet, does not mean that we should ruin the infrastructure for it.
I wonder why do people think that we'll have to store nuclear waste for 10k+ years. I bet that just in 50-100 years we'll have technology reliable enough to just dispose the waste into the Sun... Problem solved.
Actually, NAT can be serious security flaw, if poorly configured, especially with the rise of wireless networks. 1) Someone walks into your AP range - he gets hidden behind your NAT IP -> absolutely no clue where the traffic came from.
2) If the NAT is improperly configured (and it mostly is done so) it can be used for hidding in a different way. If you have wireless network with public IPs, and bunch of "customers" using their NAT boxes, one can set the NAT box as a gateway on his malicious wardrive notebook and the NAT box will happily accept such packets (even when from wrong interface) and NAT them...
Just a question - Can promise tx2000 do on-the-fly synchronisation after a crash ? Ie, that one wouldn't need to wait about hour until the 120G disks synchronise using their BIOS.

[QUOTE] but a database that needs more than 4GB of memory should perform better. [/QUOTE]
I believe any reasonable database will perform much better on 64bit than 32bit even 4GB. For one simple reason - databases are internally using 64bit counters for everything and 64bit int on 64bit cpu is perfect fit:)
Well, while I used mutt for quite long time and was very happy, it become a bit unusable when i started to get tens/hundrets mails a day, not mentioning high traffic ml's. Then i moved everything to cyrus(imap)+Evolution. It really helps when you have cuddly outline showing all your folders with number of unread messages. Yes, mutt supports folders too, but when one has multilevel hiearchy it's not that easy to use (as opposed to just taking a quick lookat folder outline)

In case kiddie doesn't find gcc on the system, kiddie easily compiles binary on different system (although i agree that in case it's some less popular platform, it would be a bit harder).Then kiddie uploads the code to your server via something like netcat or even copy&pastes(!) base64 encoded binary.
And no, deleting uudecode won't help either - it's trivial to write some decoder in your favourite shell...

That's why IMHO it makes business sense to do it.
Also, don't forget one XD1 unit has 6 Virtex II Pro FPGAs. Which should speed up certain applications a *lot*.
No, It's Emergency Edition
Does Linspire still run everything under root and not your regular account?
