There's a high chance that it'll work, but it still seems to me that unless a drive is designed for hot swapping, unplugging it from a running system has the chance of killing it.
Everytime I've watched The Office, I havn't felt amused... I've felt embarrased.
Especially the lead character I feel like I shouldn't be watching someone make that much of a dick of himself... and more disturbingly it appears to be the only part he can play.
The TV series seemed to manage it... the narration was there, and added to the experience - I believe that the narration was mostly made up of quotes from the guide, but I havn't seen it recently enough to be certain on that.
That's not the situation - I already run Apache with virtual hosts... what I want is to have a second machine (my development box) available from the internet, on a hostname, running a web server, so I can show the really curious people experimental stuff - I know there are workarounds, but I'd rather do it this way.
Anyway... that's not the only situation it may be wanted in - port 80 was just an example - any other well known service would work in it's place.
Well done, you just fulfilled the lowest priority requirement.
Buy another HardDrive and occasionally sync the two with Norton Ghost or something similar.
And then... where are you going to keep this hard drive... in the same machine you're backing up? Sounds like a great idea. Until the building burns down, and you're backup went with the original data.
Buy a Zip Drive and and a few 750mb Zip Disks, and split the file(s) to fit the Disks.
Ok - you can go round the remote sites, and swap disks for a few hours.
Maybe set up something with a Friend, you each give each other FTP access to a folder on your server, and you can upload to each other's computers.
How is this any different to the internet based backup, except for providing even less security (do you trust you're friend with your porn stash... how about you're bank details... ok... what about you're *clients* bank details?)
That's because to find out which WiFi cards work best, you can use Google, or a hardware compatibility list, or several other resources... since you seem to desperate, I use a Prism2 based Netgear card in my laptop, and under Fedora Core, all I had to do was put it in the PCMCIA slot.
However if you try Googling for "shoes for trade shows" or the variations on them, you will get a selection of articles telling you to wear comfortable ones. Personally I wouldn't trust a shoe shop staff member to reccomend shoes to me, because most of them know squat about the different shoes, and may work on commision.
There is a resource out there which just so happens to have many people who not only would be interested in which shoes are best for trade shows, but may also be able to give advice on said subject.
Now go back to your cave.

What if I want (and this is an actual situation I'm in), to have two web servers behind my firewall... which one gets port 80?

But would you want that thing turning up to resuce you in an earthquake.
As if the experience of being burried under a pile of rubble wasn't enough, you then get a giant robot with metal pinchers turning up... I'd have a heart attack before it had time to pull me out.
Which is why if your writing custom widgets for your software, you write them in whatever your using as well - they are just classes[/functions/whatever] like everything else, so inheritance works.
If you don't want to use C to program for Gnome, then don't - there are other options out there which are much more fun to develop in, since there are bindings for most of the major languages - at the moment I'm learning C#, and using GTK# to do GUI programming.
b.) if a child is being fucked at home by whomever, it'll show up real fast at school
You sure about that?
I have a friend who managed to get through the entire school system being abused by their father without anyone noticing, because they'd been brought up to hide it.
Just a me too... I'm the author of a PEAR package (Auth_PrefManager), and while I have very little idea who the 8,522 installs were done by, I do know several of them have reported bugs which then got fixed.
The important thing is to make sure you fix the bugs as they get reported, or people give up reporting.
BTW - if you're one of those people who installed... what are you using it for?
Ummm... how is the speed limit not an absolute law?
The law says that you can drive at a maximum of 65mph. Therefore if you are going more than 65mph you're breaking the law... the police may decide not to do anything about it, but you are still breaking the law.
it lacks the same kind of integration that Outlook/Exchange offer medium and large corporations wanting to standardize on an e-mail, calendar and messaging suite can.
DON'T take advantage of salaried workers. The tendency is to overwork them. Make sure all their hard work is appreciated.
That's a huge one for me - I just did overtime for the last 4 weeks while we were running one of the courses the charity I work for runs.
I'm not getting paid for it, just some extra time off over christmas - however I'm more than happy to do it because all through the time I've been thanked for doing the work, and generally enjoyed myself.
Another big one is to make sure your employees are happy doing what they're doing - and more importantly, if they're *not* happy, listen to that fact, and try to let them do more of what they do enjoy.
What happens when I listen to your music, and then you attempt to listen to my music... could you cause a feedback explosion if everyone attempted to listen to everyone else's music at once?
But I can vouch for the server side of it, since I'm currently streaming music from my server downstairs to here.
I particularly like the fact that each player can have it's own playlist if that's what you want, so everyone can stream from the same server, but have their own playlists set up so that you don't piss off the person downstairs by skipping the track you don't like.
If you know what you're doing, some machines will do this... my server has a molex connector on the back of the power supply facing out to the world at large.
How about combining the user's password with an RSA key saved on a USB memory stick?
Since computers bought today will almost always have a USB port on the front, user's can be required to put a memory stick provided to them by their employer (for example... you just need to know where the key is saved), and then enter their password for that as well.
Slashdot Mirror
Ahhh right, unlike using your credit card.
Hang on... no... they save that data as well. Guess it's back to the drawing board then.
Are you really suggesting this is a good idea?
There's a high chance that it'll work, but it still seems to me that unless a drive is designed for hot swapping, unplugging it from a running system has the chance of killing it.
That, and claiming it's hysterical.

If you e-mail me I think I have one sat unused in a drawer somewhere... it's PS/2, but my guess is you can cope with that.

"What's brown and sticky?"
"A yard-glass of diarohea."
XMMS when using Linux, and Winamp when using Windows - it's a standard MP3 stream.
But I can vouch for the server side of it, since I'm currently streaming music from my server downstairs to here.
I particularly like the fact that each player can have it's own playlist if that's what you want, so everyone can stream from the same server, but have their own playlists set up so that you don't piss off the person downstairs by skipping the track you don't like.

So the trend would be towards using... Debian then, seeing as how Knoppix == Debian+extras.
