I currently run Linux on some oddball Olivetti server with dual P100s. Works perfectly (so far, haven't tested the scsi tape drive yet.), even though I had to compile the kernel on my main machine. Would have taken 2 to 3 hours on one proc (SMP wasn't compiled in yet) which really isn't the most viable solution. Maybe I'll dig up a few 486, restore them, install some older stuff on it like the 2.0 or 2.2 kernel and try to sell them as cheap fileservers/webservers/routers?
Well, I have to agree with the general opinion floating around here that Event Horizon was, IMHO, crap indeed. Although, it does have one very good scene in it. I don't know if anyone here has seen the movie or this part specifically, but it's the scene where the videolog of the Event Horizon is played back and the crew has gone insane, with screaming and yelling and general chaos in the background. Then all of the sudden, the smart captain who can apparently speak fluent latin even when some bozos are trying to rips his eyes out of his sockets in Jupiter orbit. (Yes, that's the aforementioned gory scene) Anyways, the little line of latin he utters with all the carnage around him totally rocked. Complete chaos with one low, moaning voice in it calling out to whoever is out there, saying "Liberate tuteme ex infernus!" (sp?) or "Save yourself from hell" in ye olde common English.
I am still desperately looking for a recording of that file. Okay, not desperately, I haven't looked at all and I just remembered it because someone mentioned the movie. Regardless, I want to have that audio fragment because it has countless uses as a nice wave file. Once I have the wave, I'll immediatly optimize it (fade in, fade out, etc) and use it as my windows startup sound. MMmmmmm, perfection!

Remember that in the end, security is as strong as the weakest link in the chain, usually the user. A common 14 year old AOL script kiddie who faithfully opens his pr0n.jpg.vb email attachments while using various "security tools" found on various "security related" sites (read: Trojans. Lots of Trojans.) can turn even an OpenBSD box into an insecurity-ridden deathtrap.
Actually, that wouldn't be such a great idea, considering the fact the tablet PCs would need to remain updated. How would you ask? I'm pretty sure the majority of people on here would reply to my question with "wireless netwworking". However, do remember these are hospitals we are talking about and you're not even allowed to carry regular mobile phones around due to interference with possibly sensitive equipment. (at least not here in The Netherlands) Do you think they'd allow the building to be saturated with possible harmful wireless transmission?
Cute:) Though harmless; Windows is NOT a trademark (If it was, you'd have to pay annual license fees for any window in your house and they'd mysteriously shatter after about 6 to 12 months.) and neither can numbers be trademarked, as Intel has proven with their 586/Pentium initiative.
I once bothered to take a look at the manga they are broadcasting over here. After torturing myself painfully for fifteen minutes while feeling something which can only be explained by a spectral force forcing two scolding-hot spiked maces into my skull through my ears and then twisting them. After some research (and recuperation) it turned out that I saw something called "Sailor Moon", dubbed in dutch, which was quite possibly the most horrible thing I ever heard. You cannot copy a line of text from japanese, to english, to dutch. It's just morally and ethically wrong.
If anything, that event made me decide never EVER to watch manga/anime on dutch TV stations again. And never to wake up before 12:00 out of free will, either.
Simulated attacks on key internet hubs have shown how vulnerable the worldwide network is to disruption by disaster or terrorist action.
In other news, Bin Laden has been sighted in Saudi-Arabia with 20 Al-Quada script kiddies. Latest findings of the CIA conclude that Bin Laden is trying to build a biochemical weapon throwing sludges of contaminated biomatter called a "GES BioRifle" and that Australia has mysteriously disappeared of the world map. Weapons experts disagree with these findings, claiming "Redeemeers" are much better, though the news about Australia was ethusiastically welcomed with cheers like "No more Steve Irwin or Kylie Minogue!".
However, a recent investigation in some random MS Monopoly lawsuit indicated that Bill Gates does indeed cheat, playing with several copies of the authentic Broadway and Park Drive cards, as well as a recent donation of 20 Windows XP Pro packages to Palm Tree Nr 137 in Saudi-Arabia with a note reading "BOMB FINLAND" and enough funds to construct a backbone connection to Saudi-Arabia. US officials are skeptic about the current findings, saying "Haven't we blown up Saudi-Arabia yet? Oh, that was Australia?" Several high ranked military officials were unavailable for comment, but disapproved of Bill Gates cheating at Monopoly.
Coalition forces have responded by pre-emptively bombing Iraq like they have done for the last decade. US fighter-bombers scrambled and succesfully bombed 3 hospitals, 2 schools and a Burger King in Washington DC. Brittish commandoes went in and simply cut the backbone connection with Margaret Thatcher's fake teeth. Bin Laden and the 20 script kiddies have escaped, leaving a videotaped message behind, calling for a holy war against the US and against Saudi-Arabia for disconnection power to Palm Tree Nr 137. Bin Laden was last seen hiding on the North Pole in a red suit, a sleigh, a bunch of biochemical reindeer and 20 script kiddie elves. US bombers are underway as this article is written.

Unfortunately, I think your views are too far from reality for any online community. Everquest, for example, is driven less by people wanting to have fun and more by sheer financial greed in boht real and simulated money. Just go take a look at ebay and be amazed at what prices EQ equipment is being offered and SOLD. Then again, the exact opposite isn't the best thing either. I play(ed) a MUD with several administrators who made Hitler look like a juvenile delinquent. I swear, some people here claim the slashdot mods are bad, wait until you meet these people... Anyways, the fact that you can't lose anything on an online game, (5x $10 per month for new accounts/isps is nothing for ye olde spoiled 13 year old suburban kiddo with PC) makes it virtually impossible to put enough fear in people not to ruin the game, but also makes it impossible not to overdo it and establish a gulag... Tricky.

I'm a bit miffed that there is a game bias towards interactions with other Sims for rewards. What if you want your Sim to be a bitter loner, who sits around his darkened studio apartment all day, listening to mp3s of jazz 78s, working as an offsite computer consultant, and cooking ramen noodles on a hot plate? Shouldn't highly dysfunctional/self-destructive life-styles be considered valid too?
Obviously, the SimRIAA would bust your Sim's arse for listening to illegal mp3s. After this, he gets fired from his SimCompany and his apartment, along with everything else he owns, would be auctioned to pay for the SimRIAA lawsuit. After serving for 3 months in SimAlcatraz he dies of scurvy caused by SimNoodles.
