Yeah. But the shuttle is a rather simplistic system. Now if you were dealing with a multitasking, multiuser system which would also run on extremely different kinds of (possibly flaky) hardware, be modular, and still be reliable to that extent, I would be impressed.
You have a phone? A phone which actually works? Hand in your BOFH card on the way out.
Your phone should just go to irritating people in random departments. You know, the kind that should become slurry, but you haven't had the time to fix them yet.
Microsoft brought computing to the masses (what's wrong with that?)
Well, there was this small company named Compaq which reverse engineered the IBM PC BIOS and made cheap hardware clones possible. Microsoft just rode that boom.
Their OS does not run on my hardware, and I see no sense in buying their hardware for the OS. I don't need a laptop, I need a portable desktop -- read battery life is not really important, but performance and features are. And Apple is nowhere close on price/performance in that market.
Huh? Apache is pretty easy to administer. The complexity comes from applications running under the webserver needing specific environments, and that is a feature of the application.
The needs of users are totally different. Home usewrs typically do not need AD and other enterprise stuff, while enterprises can happily do without stuff that the home user wants/needs.
One small application doing its thing right. Only Microsoft is doing it poorly, as predicted.
Because going on the Internet is roughly equivalent to walking into the baddest neighbourhood around. Full of people who will pick your pockets, dump drugs into your pocket, and worse...
Yahoo! uses MySQL for minor, readonly stuff. All writes are written to InnoDB tables, and those are slow. That is replicated to MyISAM tables, which are used as caches.
PostgreSQL replication? is here. BSD licensed too.
Oh, and.org uses PostgreSQL as a backend. Let me know when Yahoo! starts using MySQL for its financial accounting stuff.
Kind of ironic that the first city to fall victim to global warming should be in the nation that is probably #1 of the main culprits.
Heh, no. The excessive rainfall in Mumbai in July would be a sign of global warming too. The water level there was only 3 feet in places, with some areas going to 10 feet or more.
But yes, global warming affects the entire human species, and I wish I could do something to help out the affected people.

Oh, and it needs to be cheap too.
I was actually flaming the OP. It wasn't meant to be a sensitive, gentle comment.
You forgot the preface: Google.
But if you take it to your office, you might have a few problems.
Uhm, and your data is whose property? What about access to _personal_ data?

You are confusing filehandles and inodes. Inodes are unique on the filesystem. Filehandles are per program.
Surely, killall -USR1 apache, or apachectl reload.
Does similar stuff, but doesn't interrupt current requests

So people need to take equivalent precautions.
Why are you insulting the monkeys?
Because they flame on mailing lists and on usenet, where flames are expected behaviour.

Use electric cars (and if possible get your city to move to trams/trains)
Open it in OOo and save to .odt (as and when OOo gets full OpenDocument support).
AS # is 16 bits.
IPv4 # is 32 bits.
IPV6 # is 128 bits.
There is an AS# based DNSBL available.
Reject bounces for a few days. This breaks the RFCs, but if you reject with a message that says joejobbed, you should not really have issues.
Bounces always come with the null sender , so rejecting those is easy.
Do you have details and/or can you point me to someone who does?
Doesn't help when you need to power each tower individually. And then there is the spectrum issue.
Why not just build decent public transport infrastructure? Cheaper and better.

The why of the Baen Free Library
Baen Free Library
And that is a publisher.
*I buy their books, because they are good, and in a financial tight spot, Baen wins out on other publishers because they offer the library.
