The Eric Schlosser interview you're talking about is probably the one in the Dec 2000 Atlantic Unbound: Unhappy Meals.
There's also an article by Schlosser entitled "Why McDonald's Fries
Taste So Good" was published in the Jan 2001 issue of the Atlantic Monthly that goes into some depth on the whole 'taste' industry. It's no longer online at theatlantic.com for some reason, but a Google search for the title will turn it up at all kinds of places (like here for example).
Try IMAPAssassin, a daemonized IMAP-client version of SpamAssassin. It does every except for the X tags in headers for non-filtered mail (mostly due to the way that the IMAP protocol works).
Clustering most definitely is a buzz word, Like 'OO' and 'XML' before it. Sure there is real technology behind it, but the term has been pretty much overused to death.
The first thing that you have to ask when someone says cluster is if they mean a high peformance or high availability cluster (alternatively if this is a computational, load-balancing, or failover case).
Oh wait, re-reading your MS marketspeak flack, I fear I've been trolled. Let me put it this way: Clustering is only the "solution for tomorrow's problems today" if you're talking about vapourware like.Net - for the rest of us, clustering has been around for years, long before it became a buzzword.
In these cases, PostgreSQL is probably a viable candidate. It has much better SQL support, triggers, support for stored procedures in multiple language types, and a MVCC locking system that even Oracle doesn't match.
The 7.x series is pretty stable, and you can now vacuum without shutting down.
That being said, MySQL is just a lot easier to work with, especially wrt modifying table structure, support tools, and access control. And having built in braindead replication is nice too.
Note that while what you're saying is true for XP, earlier NT-based Windows systems (including 2000) don't allow true multi-display. Well, except if you're using a Matrox card. They're the only ones to have worked around this at the driver-level.

Phoenix 0.4 Released
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
1. Mozilla interface feels "heavy" and slow. The buttons just feel "heavy" to me. IE6 feels light and it looks like a Windows program. Plus, it loads more quickly.
No Argument here. Part of the reason why Phoenix exists...
2. Google toolbar. Yeah, I've used the mozdev one... and it's just not as impressive. I cannot do the following with the Mozdev bar:
I agree a real Google toolbar would be nice. Almost all my searches are mapped onto Mozilla keywords though, which works pretty well. Along w/ the search sidebar and background tabs, I think overall, Mozilla still wins on searching.
4.View Partial Source. Once again, mostly a web developer tool, but an invaluable one at that. I highlight any part of the page, click "View Partial Source", and I'm staring at the source code that created that part of the page.
Mozilla does this. At least mine does, it may have been an extension I installed a long time ago. As a web Developer, here's my list of favorite Mozilla features (I will never do web development in a browser that doesn't have an equivalent to these):
Gecko - the most complete standards support of any existing browser. I can trust Mozilla's CSS output instead of assuming it's wrong.
Overall, the tabs, sidebars, tools, and other interfaces make Mozilla by and large my favorite development browser. Here are some of my big nits:
HTTP logging / browser - wish I could see this stuff without having to go to a separte network sniffer/logger
Better Info - would like to see all HTTP headers, cookies, source, dom from one centralized interface. there is a 'web developer' version on Mozilla being worked on... that might be way cool
Crash Recovery for Tabs - Total Recall gets broken, Multizilla only records one window's tabs
Form Ranging - it's still broken, part of the larger problem...
...that Content Editing is weak sauce. Whatever browser has significantly improved form/editing capabilities will definitely have my endearment - stuff like inline editing, or for forms, basic stuff like better local form input capture/caching, integration of editing commands, etc.
Personally, one of the things that originally drew me to Debian (and now to Gentoo) is that despite the relative 'pain' of install, say vs Red Hat, you have much more control over what's on the system, and a much easier time keeping it up to date and avoiding conflicts.
Even now with up2date, Debian's apt-get still beats the pants of Red Hat maintainability-wise. Gentoo's Portage system does even better. It's more up to date, and because everything is compiled, linkage/library errors are almost nil.
Now that my Gentoo system is set up (granted it took more than a few hours to get everything compiled), I'm expecting I won't have to do much more than some log monitoring and an 'emerge sync && emerge -u world' every few days to keep everything humming.
Well, until the next major revision. That is slightly worrying...
Yep, I recently switched to Gentoo and have been loving it. More customizable than Debian, and Portage is *much* more up to date than Debian's package trees.
The install procedure, however, isn't exactly newbie-friendly.
1)/5) For the front end, you might be better off with a weighted load balancer (or LVS on the cheap). Also consider a specialized HTTP multiplexer like NetScaler/Redline (these typically give content encoding, SSL acceleration for free).
Remember that your contract is only 1 year. If by the time my year is up, this is still the best deal around, I'll stick with it, but if not, hey, there's competition. Now if only the FCC will get in gear w/ Telephone Number Portability
Moderation points are much better spent moderating up than down. (It's in the FAQ) IMO, It's pretty pointless to mod down a '1' rated post for tangentiality. If one's reading at 1, then it's pretty obvious that that person has more than enough free time to begin with.
For those reliving the glory days, also check out VDMSound, a software MPU-401 emulator for NT-based systems. In Windows 2000, this was all I needed to play Monkey Island 1 & 2 in theif full MIDI glory. Although the AA does sound way cool...
By the way, IE is the most DOM compliant browser (comparing it to NS, Mozilla, Opera, and Links). So don't spread the FUD.
Hmm for some strange reason, I get the feeling you don't actually do much DOM work. If you did, you would know that you're the one spreading FUD... or at least, talking out of your ass.
Netscape put out a comparison chart a while ago (M13 vs IE/PC 5.5r1 vs IE/MAC 5.0), which while old, still serves it's purpose in pointing out IE5's weaknesses (IE6 is much improved). ppk keeps has own W3C DOM compatibility chart.
Still, IMO Mozilla's DOM support outshines IE's. Does IE have their known DOM bugs online like Mozilla does? Mozilla's main weaknesses are some speed issues (improving a lot recently), and lack of ranging/selections in textareas, however, the DOM Inspector and JavaScript Debugger more than makes up for it.
The DOM Inspector alone will make you switch to Mozilla as your primary testing browser - it'll tell you the DOM properties, Box model, CSS rules, and computed styles of any element. If that doesn't get your eyes to light up, then you probably haven't ever had to do much "advanced web code multiple browsers."
Have you given K-Meleon a shot? v0.6 works pretty well on even slower machines. One day, a newer version might even come out.;) [dev version is out, it's just taking its time to get to the general public]
Hmm, just tested it out. If you reject or change the cookies, the anti-adblocker can't work.

Hmm, perhaps the hostname is missing an 'n'. Would explain it I think.
Most DVD-R's will also burn CDs. Sony's DRU-500 for example, besides supporting DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW will also burn CD-Rs at 24x.

No built-in bluetooth either. Although wi-fi is easier to hook up with the CF slot.
