Despite being one really huge runway there is something else I learned while visiting the Kennedy Space Center.
The entire runway complete in a single pouring Essentially it is one gigantic slab of concrete with no cracks in it.
Just a few years ago, Nvidia was practically unheard of in the motherboard market. They slowly crept in with the relase of nforce/nforce2/nforce3/nforce4 chipsets. Having an integrated video card and chipset is somewhat advantageous despite the driver troubles that linux users face.
Nvidia is slowly gaining market share over motherboard chipsets, I see this as a good thing. My NForce systems are working great and so far everything has been smooth. If Nvidia keeps up with the great work and frequent updates of their chipset, I will be a satisfied customer.
How do you feel about Nvidia presence in the motherboard market?
Okay, 1GB was fine, a reasonable limit that was more of a marketing ploy than a palpable number for the average user.
Soon, 2GB and 5GB email accounts were offered in response to Gmails initial 1GB. This was really pushing the limit of being reasonable.
100GB totally crosses the line. When the advertised size of email accounts becomes larger than most people's hard drives, there is a problem. This is getting absurd.
Please stop.
Whoever shot this image should retake photography class and learn not to use such high ISO's on the Hubble when shooting in the dark.
Its so grainy, even my 2mp camera takes better pictures.

I hope they got a SS of that massive uptime.
Perhaps just disabling spam filters and leaving virus blocks in place would be a less drastic approach.
Detecting spam is non-trivial, but detecting viruses is not. They are easily found and the email should be blocked. This is implemented by my ISP (Road Runner NYC). Emails containing viruses are replaced by a text message warning that a virus was sent to the email address.
I currently work with servers, specifically rackmounted servers. I can tell you that for home use they are not worth the effort. For one thing heat is a big issue. Its no longer trivial to add some case fans to the back and let the air flow freely. You also can not use standard heatsinks because they will not fit in a 1U case.
The main and possibly only benefit of the rackmounted server is because it saves space. This is essential when putting servers in a datacenter as they charge you for how much space you use.
If you are not going to put the servers into a datacenter just put the computer in a standard case which is about (4U) and save yourself the $300-$600 that a rackmount case will set you back alone.
Don't worry, I make sure to type all of my URL's now including onces such as:

Sometimes they take a while but it pays off!
Any system admin would love these guys!
Now we can safely create default passwords such as:

Without fear of the user writing them down!

The server looks like it was crapping out before slashdot crapped out: http://colo.fibersnet.net/mirror/radio.weblogs.com /0105910/
Btw, next time I'll have a mirror for slashdot in case it gets slashdotted, again.
I think this is an appropriate time to say, "SCO, YOUR MEGAHURTZ HAVE BEEN ST0L3N!!!! MICRO$OFT DID IT!!!" /me quietly whistles and walks away
