RAID is fine, go for 512 megs of ram unless they all run an SQL, and for God sake don't make it a dual processor job. Just one PII 450Mhz serves up 75+ dynamic sites (users) per day with well over one gig of transfer per day. All on a 300K line. Don't just take my word for it - read my log anylizer. Just save some money for bandwidth. (Also note that performance of my perl log parser is slow as my log files are ~ 150 MB.)
Yes you are. Anyone who still compares the number of bits addressable with each memory call to the speed of the processor deserves to be shot. Are you telling me that the playstation 2's code would run at a 1:1 speed on a 350 MHZ pentium 2? no. (IIRC the ps2 uses a RISC processor of the MIPS type (refering to extentions here) clocked at about 350 MHZ.) All I was saying is that to effectively emulate a different architecture more clock cycles are needed.
An emulation of a machine usually takes about 3-4 times the processing power of the emulated machine. This is because the machine must turn the code into something that the emulator can run natively. The Playstation 2 uses a MIPS processor and so is very different from an Intel architecture. The Cube uses a PowerPC, also very different. The Xbox uses an Intel processor, so "emulation" would just be cracking the game protection. I hope this clears everything up, as you obviously don't know that much about different architectures.
Give it a rest. If it was two hundred years ago, the "anti-social" people would be the ones just chewin' hay and sittin' on the porch. If it's not one then it's the other. Give it a rest.
I'm sick of all this eliteist I'm in Mensa and feel it's my responsibility to dog on other people's habits attitude. Seriously, just tell us something we don't know.
gets 2 Mbits per second downstream and about half a megabit upstream. I run a server from that and have heavy traffic. Given that faster is better, how much are you willing to pay for the *possibility* that your connection will be faster? SBC is the only telco that offers dsl in my area and they are not too keen on progress. I could see them using this hardware and then still regulating traffic to 300kb/s.
Popular business plan:
Step 1: Design product that runs a proprietary Microsoft system.
Step 2: Make it run on Linux, Windows' leading business threat.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit!!!
If no one could figure it out, step 3 might be sell the code to (or settle with) Microsoft so that.NET is once again a Windows-only system. At least this would be my business plan.
I wish I had some moderator points! Moderators, mod this man (or woman:)) up. Small lan parties are fun. By small I mean less than six people. Trust me, I have been to some with my friends and it is a decent way to spend a friday night... once in a while. But huge lan parties become boring. I have never participated in one, but I have gone to one and as soon as I saw what a drag it was I left in a hurry.
I still doubt that he is using bluetooth. The transmitter on the accessing device would also need to transmit 100 metres. That would be one hefty PDA! The more common, farther reaching, cheaper, and faster network is built on 802.11. Thanks for the information, though. I did not know that bluetooth could be extended that far.
There would be no ripcord because there is no combustion. Fuel cells are powered by reverse hydrolysis. There may be a large red button, though. Scary...
Fuel cells usually use hydrogen for a fuel. This combines with oxygen and Voila! Electrons are stripped off and used to power the phone. The only "pollution" is water. I'm not saying that fuel cells are the best power source for phones, but that electricity that you are using now comes from a fossil fuel plant most likely. So even now you are causing pollution by using your computer! You evil terrorist! Hey Homeland Security! I think I found Osama!!!
I doubt you mean Bluetooth, which has an effective range of a few feet (eight IIRC). 802.11? I'm sorry about being so anal, but if you don't know which protocal you are using, then my bet is that your network is not that secure (ergo maybe you should not allow public access).

I thought I had been going crazy. This has been happening to me for at least a month. I HATE SPAM!

It says "document not found". I think they caught on to you.

the backlight be improved by the firmware? And what of this USB2 support? Is it Full-speed or High-speed?

That is beautiful. Thanks for brightening my day.
Did you know that the Netscape source code went into the production of Mozilla? Chew on that. Netscape 6? Mozilla 1.4.

Actually, I didn't RTFA, so it was just speculation on what could happen if the developers were corrupt, but under the GPL that would not happen.
Isn't this a dupe? It's an interesting article, but I'm just asking. Because I think Slashdot editors ran an article just like this a while back.

Keiboard? Did they send this out with a typo like this? Did anyone read that? Damn, those Japanese are some lazy people...

nope. Fucking Prick, yes.

The IIS? Internet Information Server? This lack of "proper equiptment" gives new meaning to when my server crashes! Oh, you meant space station...
Did the geocaching.com website crash anybody else's Mozilla browser? The cache crashed it :)!
No, it's Jonathan, as in Jonathan Apple. Mmmmm, delicious!
