Every ISP can provide two virtual networks to each user. Where the edge of the ISP network sits; that point where end users are attached, it is possible to use routing to run BT traffic down one pipe and all else down another pipe.
OMG, network design 101.
How do you propose to do this? Ponies? It's not like BT only uses certain ports or a subset of IP addresses. Plus the congestion can be some arbitrary router or point to point link along the way and not simply at the ISP. Many people do use the internet in Australia and South Africa.
I still don't get your POV. By clarity of AIX you mean the docs right? Solaris and FreeBSD doc is fantastic today and was then. Linux doc is at a good point now too.
By system architecture, that boils down to reliability and performance right? I'm telling you that a Core 2 Duo four core and up FreeBSD or Linux box would run circles around a mid '90s AIX workstation. If you're comparing to what is available from IBM today you're not factoring price for the bang. Also there is PC kit that is very reliable these days.
If you want that "feel like playing with the real toys", I guess I would recommend something like getting a used ultra 80 or something, but I really don't see any practical benefits to it.
From where I come from as a dev I had a love affair with Solaris. When I was exposed to truss that completely changed the way I worked, no longer I would write debug versions or step through in gdb. I simply would record the problem while running under truss and then take a look. Then I learned about mdb and now dtrace and I never looked back. I cringe when I need to debug on Linux because I know I will be sitting at gdb and banging away at #ifdefs all day and what we have now in Linux is nearly the same state of the art that Linux and AIX had back in the late '90s. I just don't see AIX as having been the developer's dream come true you make it out to be.
Why? There was a post doc at uni (late '90s) that swore by AIX. I honestly did not see anything to it at all better than gcc+gdb on Linux. Then another prof exposed me to truss on Solaris and I really liked that.
Was it simply that the AIX box was a multiproc power system? Yeah $10-20K of workstation will always beat $2-3K of PC running Linux in regards to performance.
What has happened to/.!? This is moderated at 5! All that fear mongering stuff about 'just NAT' (WTF) is plain wrong.
Let's think about it. Let's say you have a bunch of windows boxes on a private net like 192.168.1.x and you are using cifs. Do you think the NAT on the router makes an entry in it's table for that? Nope.
Okay so say you connect to cifs outside your LAN, say back to work. So now there is an entry in the NAT that links that TCP port, routable IP to your routable ip and port back to local ip and port. So some dude from some arbitrary IP is going to be able to use that how? Yeah I didn't think so.
Okay let's just say for the sake of argument that the bad guy is on the server at work. He's gotcha now, right? No you fail, how the f*ck is he going to know the TCP sequence numbers to use?
Okay so assume that your ISP is evil and is watching all the traffic, bwahhha. Now they can use whatever tcp seq numbers that are expected by you to take advantage of some security flaw in the file sharing on your windows box. But wait how is that any different from what would need to happen if there was firewall in place? Not different at all eh?
This way if I have unusual characters in filenames it handles it fine. I have unusual characters since I get document files to process from non-programmer types with 'friendly' names that contain spaces, apostrophes, parens, quotes, etc.
You can use a similar trick with sed in bash to build a escapified commandline to later eval that keeps all the arguments nicely as one argument each and prevents the shell from interpreting special characters.
That is glob not a regex, plus it is for command.com and del is doing the globbing. It would be rm for a real shell. Also depends on the version if brackets work for MS.
Games cost too much to make and too much to buy new. The solution is to stop making games like Gears and make games like MM9 and sell all games with a decent amount of content for sub $20.
Wait I'm talking out of my a*s, Gears made killer profits, nope it is just the devs and publishers being greedy and wanting more.
They simply wrote gibberish and statements that were no more than simple tautologies when you boiled away the strained lingo in a few physics journals and now they have had two French TV shows including Temps X.
I have a few of the Lucas Arts adventure games from my childhood on CD. I installed ScummVM and played FoA and SM with my children on the TV.
What I worry about is maybe they have decided to not remove the HBC during the update, but they might have a switch that they can throw where the next time you dl something from the Shop channel, they delete the HBC in the process. That is scary enough for me that I will hold off installing new VC, WW, and channels until another way to reinstall HBC appears publicly.
Man do you fail. "Vector" games used CRTs much like oscilloscopes. Some even used storage scopes. The video in video game does not need to be a raster display.
Oh wait, so it is not about some southern Christian social conservative right wing kind of thing to keep people from sin, but all about political pandering and "online gambling drains the state of money by undermining horse racing." ( http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10052137-38.html )
My 1 GHz G4 eMac can do ~8MB/s more over fw with cpu at 97-99% idle than my 2 GHz P4 over USB2 to the same drive. The only problem is that on the PC the CPU idle wildly swings from 35-85% idle. It is simply terrible to try and use that PC while doing a backup.
Except that every iBook since about 700 MHz and up G3 and G4 has had the graphics crap out in about three years of use while I have a powerbook at work of the same vintage still going strong.
What was even weirder was the i487SX. This was a i486DX with an extra pin. If you had a i486SX system and wanted a FPU you bought the i487SX and plugged it in. Then during boot the i486SX was disabled and the i487SX was used for everything.
I tested this out. My car seems to be the most efficient at 2000 RPM. When I accelerate hard to get to speed soon and get into high gear as fast as possible I drive at the ideal place in the power band for the greatest distance possible. I found no impact on MPG over many months driving like this vs accelerating gingerly. The difference was well within error but accelerating hard produced slightly better fuel efficiency.
You won't save enough to cover your (your passengers' and innocent others you careen into funeral expenses) though. Ride the clutch like this and you won't be able to put it back into gear when you've gained too much speed one of these days. Going downhill, you engine brake.
I know you are being funny about only left turns in NASCAR but there are typically two to four road courses a season. But you know how every third race or so there is some driver that crashes for inexplicable reasons? He got dizzy;)
If it is the same tuner that was offered in the 5500/6500 yes it could pause but when you unpaused it went right to where the TV show was at that moment. It was like the still button on a TV, there was no recording to the HD and then playing back from where you were. The only way you could record put-up a big window where the image no longer moved and the sound cut out. Then when you stopped the recording or ran out of memory (which was measured in minutes) the window would show each frame of what you recorded as it saved it to a quicktime file with cinepak encoding for the video. This was only slightly faster than real time. Then you could open that file in Quick Time and play it back. If you had VM enabled while you were recording you would notice all the times that pageouts occurred as dropped video and audio. It was crap.
This is SNI ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication ) and it is not supported on Safari (any version I am aware of I just tried a nightly build on an intel iMac) nor on any version of IE on XP or earlier. You can verify by visiting https://sni.velox.ch/ and see if you get a warning.

Yes I have seen a 95% decrease as well and the ones that came through get easily filtered.
I often use something like this:

Or just replace an old drive with a new drive periodically so that no drive is ever more than two years old.

No. It takes less time to get the water to boil, then it needs to cook longer.

Or you could have the forms and what not use https://example.com/foo/action and https://example.com/bar/action for your different sites. There is the possibility of a MITM creating a copy of your site with the action pointing to http://evil.invalid/foo/action instead though but maybe these sites are not so important. Alternatively you could simply let everyone know that the site is really at https://example.com/foo/ and the other is at https://example.com/bar/.
