Dammit, what good is a cake if you can't eat it? That seems rather unreasonable to me!
But seriously, I agree with your point. There are existing federal laws against hackers (Although they are only barbed if you hack a bank or some other money-tracking system. If someone just hacks your home web server, the law is useless.) which can be used against malicious hackers. However, heavy fines are better than jailtime. The government seems way too concerned with taking away people's freedom lately. We are all subject to the Ostrich Effect - throwing people in jail for non-violent acts like spamming is simply the politicians sticking their heads in the sand. Throw them in jail instead of dealing with the problem.
I personally see it far better for society at large and the environment if we passed laws prohibiting unsolicited physical mail (rlSpam), and allowed only email spam (With regulation on that as well, opt-in rather than opt-out. I think my right to the pursuit of happiness [ie: not having to read spam] overrides some Joe Lamer's "right" to promote some business proposal) instead. Think of how many millions of trees (Probably a lot of rain forest forestation is devoted to this questionable practice) get chopped each year to be turned into crap junk mail.
That seems like the most foolish move I've heard of from Compaq. Glad I dont own any stock! The Internet is the future of sales (I actually hate to see it, the current hyper-commericialization of the Internet is making it but a shadow of what it once was) whether they like it or not.
The need to realize that companies like Cyberian Outpost are their best friends for moving into the next millenia. Instead, they shit on them. It will be interesting to see if online companies even allow them back into the fold.
I gotta say that is really lame, that page on Mark Merlins page that opens up about a million IE windows on the screen. I use IE at work on a Win NT system. I have no choice in the matter so do not appreciate your bullshit "You are an IE user so I am going to trash your system" page.
BTW: NT was bright enough to finally give me a script timeout dialog box, where I was able to stop the execution of the script and then kill all the myriad explorer instances. NT DID NOT GO DOWN. Muahahaa! I've seen Netscape on Linux crash with less abuse.
Face it guys, Linux is fun. I like Linux. But it is not the end-all of OS excellence.
But, a big FUCK YOU to Mark Merlin. What an imbecile.

Caching is not enabled on the reverse proxy, so all requests get passed through to the 386. Plus, the counter.dll is on the 386, so all of the counter hits had to be done by the 386 as well.

Now I dread a call from @home saying "I'm sorry, but you've been using too much bandwidth with your 386, we are going to have to disconnect you" That would suck!

Well then, I am done doing business with your company. Number of the Beast/Big Brother here we come. AMD here I come.
What happens when a twisted government leader gains control of the system in a Hitler-ish or Stalin-ish way? That is the true issue here. With tagging mechanisms like this, it may become absolutely impossible to break free of the grip of a ruthless, oppressive ruler. Look at the history of government, it is a cyclical pattern that has happened with every government: Either a government is decimated and absorbed by a more powerful government, or the government becomes very successful until that government becomes slothful and controlling, eventually feeding upon it's own citizens until they somehow break free and reform. However, never in the history of mankind has the mere fact of privacy been stripped from the individual. Your company is only looking out for it's short-term gains and not at all for our grandchildren. Very sad to see.
Goodbye.

What I meant was I have an installed, working copy of Redhat 5.1 - with that I need no help.
What I meant to ask was how do I get Linux 2.2, compile it under Redhat, then replace the Redhat 5.1 build of Linux (Whatever version that is) with the newly compiled Linux 2.2?
I take it to be easy, I am just a bit unclued:)
Thanks in Advance!
Uh, someone want to walk me through installing it?

What are your steps involving returning unused copies of Windows? We do not use Windows, we use SCO Unix. We recently became aware of the fact that you will be offering refunds for unused copies of Windows beginning February 15.
