So what choices do we have for servers? Dell isn't exactly showing itself to be fully behind the OSS movement, is it? I had to buy a rack mount 1U server - and I went with a DL360 G3, as it's what we buy at work, and I know it works perfectly under Gentoo.
So, apart from Dell, and Compaq(HP), who is there for x86/amd64 servers?
Plea to all Americans: Do the world a favour, and vote Bush out. He might be great for you guys, but he's a nightmare for the world. America is part of the world, not all of it.
It doesn't matter how many billion mega-pixels there are if you're shooting through a dirty, smudged, tiny piece of glass.
I opted for a lower megapixel (6.4) SLR rather than a higher MP compact camera, so that I could experiment with filters, and different lenses. I'm not saying that my pics are any better, mind you.
I got annoyed with not being able to do a WHERE item NOT IN ( SELECT * FROM stuff ) in MySQL 4.0, and spent 20 minutes s/mysql_/pg_/g the whole site, and recreating the tables, and reimporting to Postgres. (Oh, and a few mysql_error() -> pg_last_error($res) and mysql_affected_rows() ->pg_num_rows() extras too. )
One query that took 25 seconds in MySQL took 0.8 in Postgres - with no changes at all. I had already done everything to get the query as fast as possible in MySQL and I was quite chuffed with 25 seconds - I think I got it down from about 130. MySQL seems to be faster for very simple stuff, but throw some nasty long LEFT JOINs etc and it soon bogs down.
I've tried s/w raid (and it has failed, bigtime) in the past, and getting past the psychological barrier to try it again is hard - losing oodles of data is a huge body blow
Rebuild your raid array, and restore from backup. You were making backups of the raided data, weren't you? Tell me an obviously bright fellow like yourself was.
There are two types of people: Those that have lost data, and those that will.
That's the second or third non-Linux supported innovation by Google recently. There was that Picasso picture search tool, and some other, I seem to remember. Are they shunning the Linux community?:(
teaches folks how to limit trackable transactions, make all your travel look like company business and vacations, where to find the books you want without anyone knowing your reading them and so forth. ie.:Imagine how hard it would be for the cops to give speeding tickets if every one of us drove a "black sedan".
Yeah, why not remove individuality, and creativity? Let's just become drones, for easy management.
I believe the success of GPS has always been the fact that it can reliably give you your position at any point in time
Wow! It can reliably tell me where I was 1 year ago? That's awesome! But tell me one thing - how does it do the whole time travel thing? Is it Quantum?
Bit self defeatist, isn't it? Now, should anything happen, the main internet links between NK and the rest of the world will "accidentally" be damaged, and magically all the problems will stop. Does anyone know of a site that lists all the ranges by country? I started to do it, but the RIPE whois server blocked me:\
Slashdot Mirror
I ran those 3 searches a minute before I posted them. If they used to be true, they still are. I am in the UK. Maybe it's messed up over here?
Orange. No results for Orange, the mobile phone company.
Linux. No pointers to linux.org.
Google. Returns the Dutch/Belgian version of the page. Why?
Did any of you catch the open letter to Republicans? I noticed it on The Register today. Sure, the letter is flamebait, but it's funny flamebait. :)
flashblock.mozdev.org. Couple that with adblock, and you're sorted.

Even got a pic of Stallman

Check out my holiday snaps. (Username Calum, obviously.)

Bagsie Al. I saw her first. Maybe a little mad, but hey, why change the habit of a lifetime?
Why hasn't the pconnect saved it? Persistent connections, no?
There are currently, 4221 guest(s) and 0 member(s) that are online.
Come on, stop spreading the FUD. Of course it is possible to keep a Windows machine naked on the net without it getting cracked.
It's the amount of work needed to keep it updated that means I'd never want to do it.
Drinking toilet water? That's nothing. Coca Cola bottled it and sold it us.

I've been waiting for a Motorola handset that runs Linux for ages. They've been talking it up for years now.
I want:
bash, gcc, java, phone, browser, camera, and wlan at the minimum.
Sort of like the Sharp Zaurus, but coupled with a phone.

Hmm. Belmarsh - the Guantanamo bay of the UK?
Why does the scripting language have anything to do with the protecting of directories?
OK, OK. So far it appears that these specific attacks are based in China. Doh.

I read that as: I got a free MCSE when I got my subscription,
