i think its simple enough to say "if you don't know if you need 1.3 you don't need 1.3" and to use prefork MPM with 2.0 if you use PHP or non-threadsafe libs.
its easier to moniter phone/radio then it is the net, alot less, easier to reconize and parse information. definite start and end.
phone is just talking, 1 format, linear, easy to understand.
the net is hundreds of well know protocalls, and thousands of leser/unkown ones all being used at once, many diffrent ones across a node all the time, and random times, infinite number of codes and ways to hide stuff.
sure the goverment is probaly monitering e-mail, ftp, msn and the common ones, but what about encrypted stuff, and all the random thigns that like 2 poeple on the planet use?
to much data even for the goverment to track and moniter it all.
now adays its pretty hard to just do a search on raw net data and figure out wtf is going on, lets say you have a largish router, with a million poeple's data going thru it on and off.
you going to have missing packets.
Your going to have massive amoutns of traffic that you can't identify. because its encrypted or some strange private protocall.
so you ignore all that and focus on cleartext: you now have to search through tons of clear text with typos, bad grammer, shrtnd wrds, thigns only a human could under stand, 1334 speek, and more.
Now from things the search engine CAN roconize, you will have emails about poeple killing others.. in games, tole playing, jokes, and lots of stuff that could be terrorists but isn't.
creating a search engine that could do that is a very tall task. I dont' think i would even be possible to write, let along review the data faster then it comes in, i mean ALOT of data is moved each day across the internet.
And no matter how hard you try, 2 people in some remote area of some MMORPG talking in code will not be noticed... its a lost cause...
monitering all phone conversations and radio on the planet is easier then monitering the net. alot less data, and easier to decode and notice oddities. not like the net at all. (hell if you wanted to you could use acode that puts data in the TCP/IP headers and whos going to botehr to look there?)
for a given number of computers you need far less people to run a linux based network when compared to windows. And if it was mac desktops with linux servers yet again even less:)
So while you may pay as much as double for a linux sys admin, you need far fewer of them. A linux server once setup requires little effort to keep updated and running, not to mention can handle more traffic then the equivilent windows setup.
If you use debian, it has many MANY programs packaged and ready install, totaly automated, alls you have to do is pick the apps you want. Update all debian isntall applications is just as easy, 1 click updates everything.
with non debian linux stuff, most commen programs have automated installers, and for simple user applications they just work. No DDLs, no registry entries, none of that crap. Just download the proper build, unpack,./config if needed, and run the program.
Sadly that seems to be the case. Any portable device should beable to take a beating.
I own a canon 10d dSLR, uses a Magnesium alloy that has yet to scratch, dent, or show a mark in the year i've had it. Heavy use, don't baby it, use it in the pouring rain, hikes, climbs, everywhere and it never misses a shot.
No... what happened here is something like congress saying all departments MUST change to open source but a year later the departments going with MS again even thou congress (the boss) has said no, open source only.
There is no legit reason to go with MS once you have been told by your boss (the parliment, representing the people) to switch of OS.

its been 5 years, how young can his daughter be now?
#2 applies to closed source just the same, except worse as you can't go in and fix it if you want and your stuck with what you got.

yea, my CMPT 300 teacher wnet on and one about threas being 100s of times faster then processes... i was half tempted to stamd up and call him on it.
sure on windows processes are fucking slow and threads are fast.
But,iirc, under linux thread/process are pretty much the same thing except 1 has shared memory.
sounds like something you wouldn't see as a user and only as a site dev/admin...
ISS will use less CPU as (IIRC) parts of it are IN the kernal (VERY BAD) so there is less overhead.
the reason to use apache over ISS is security. ISS is just not as secure with all patches in palce.
its 2004, i'd think modren muds would allow you to use ssh??

Shame!?
If i start telling people about my multi terabyte porn collection they start asking me to send it to them!!
wait... umm I don't have any porn.. nothing to see here...
thats why some palces have that "type in the text in the image" stuff
you can always load unsigned drivers...
i was refering to the compiled .net programs...
overpriced is right, i guess it needs that 4mb of memory for the huge .net binary?
it looked like 200$ for JUST the modual, not the kit....
STAMP may be nice but its so much cheaper to buy a PIC for 5$ and use some veroboard.
The Linux box was attacked about twice an hour.
did they break in or was it a unseccussfull acttack?
hmm, most of the poeple i know use PS:6/7/CS
yea, thank god theres always good local beers in case the merger screws up canadian.

old? they are on TV right now lol
but was that said about a year ago now?
photographers and digital artists.
i would bet plenty of artists who would love to beable to get a tablet running photoshop with a really good interface for drawing.
Sadly that seems to be the case. Any portable device should beable to take a beating.

Now why can't they build a powerbook like that!

Yep, can't lose what you dont' have!
