I've ripped over 7000 songs from my collection of 1500 CDs. There are a lot of entire albums that have been ripped but most of them are just a song or a couple of songs from the CD. That's 27 gigs of music.
My brother and I swapped our collections (he's more 80's and I'm more 70's) so I'm approaching 60 gigs of.mp3 and.wma files.
I'll rip entire artists (Robert Cray, Aerosmith, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Mingus for example) even if I haven't heard every CD yet since I really like their music.
Based on the false attacks on innocent folks, I'd check my proposed new address against the database so I wouldn't _be_ targetted.
If the real estate folks would pick up on that, I suspect house values would drop quite a bit.

Huh. Forgot about sunfreeware. I've picked up several packages for server builds and am working on a server now. Generally I prefer to build it myself, just to avoid odd dependancies. I do use the packaged gcc though.
The problem with sunfreeware is it takes so long to download something. Netscape was over 100 megs, fortunately via http. We have a 15 minute idle timeout which of course blows away long ftp sessions.
I checked NS7 against LiveJournal (daughter's blog) and it's much better. It seems people are moving away from 4.x so it's good I upgraded:-)
I'll check out the Netscape 7 and especially Mozilla. I've tried Opera but didn't like it and a long time ago I tried IE on a throwaway box just for the heck of it.
I am the admin of my box and a few others so no worries there. I've downloaded sources before and it needed so many supporting libraries I just kept Netscape.
4.77 actually on a Solaris box. Since no one's upgrading browsers on Solaris any more, I'm sorta stuck (well, I suppose I could attempt a compile, in my free time:-)

Our ftp server was open from root up if you were identified as a "local" user rather than anonymous. It was run by the same admin. That was before when we were assigned machines to admin. Now we all admin all the machines so someone else can "peer review" the system. We don't have any specialists any more, but we're sure there are no obvious security issues and we have an engineering department for the specialists.
Well, we had a stupid admin who, as a test put the/etc/passwd file into webspace.
We had another admin who tried to su to root and typed in su [root password]. We check the logs searching for someone typing in a non-user account that looks like garbage and we notify the admin to change their password.
Yea, it was on sale at Worst Buy a couple of months back along with the NetGear router. Unfortunately the router tanked about a month ago and I haven't run out of motorcycle things (VA to ID and back; gearing up) and woodworking tools (Riobi Router tanked) to buy. Once they're sated I'll replace the wireless router.
Ahh. I tried contacting the guy who did most of the drivers and never got a response. That's why I just pulled a 503 from the pile and used it. It worked and that's all I needed.
I bought both Open and Free BSD looking for hardware support and a usable interface. At the time I had a 3Com network card and an interest in trying something different.
Unfortunately it didn't support the oddball card and the interface wasn't easy enough to use.
I ran Red Hat on my home firewall for a couple of years (stripped down) until I was changed from @Home to Comcast. Apparently the 3C509/3C503 cards or drivers didn't like CIDR. (I initially used two 3c509 cards but the driver, in trying to be smart, didn't understand two similar cards and couldn't allocate the second I/O address.)
I replaced Red Hat with Mandrake with the same problem and eventually bought two PCI network cards which fixed the problem.
My workstation at the office was running NT up until the anti-virus software I was forced to use erased my inbox (9000+ messages). I installed Mandrake 7.2 and StarOffice and mostly worked ok.
I had to snag a 2000 system for the occasional PowerPoint presentation or especially MS Project file.
When Mandrake 9.1 was announced here I pre-ordered. When it arrived, I put in a second 10 Gig drive, installed 9.1 and have moved most of my stuff from the old 10 Gig drive.
My 2000 system is mainly my.mp3 jukebox with 5,000+.mp3 files and WinAmp 3. Oh and I do own all of the CDs. See here for the slightly outdated list.
It's been 3 years or so since I've looked at anything else. My Mandrake systems are functioning just fine so I have no reason to change.
Maybe I'll break down and see if OpenBSD supports a NetGear wireless USB card and install it on my fourth home system.
My prefs are set at +2 or I wouldn't have read your post:-)
Actually I prefer to mostly read and moderate what's going on. Most of the time, unless I'm close to the top, my comments don't get read anyway so an additional inane post just adds to the noise ratio.
It seems to be working. I get moderator points fairly regularly (I think I'm at weekly now) and can vote for the comments I am in agreement with; sort of voting for a spokesman instead of being in a babbling crowd.
I wonder what a Sun customer does now if the only person who knows a machine's password is squished by a semi?
Two things:
1. Password safe. We use password envelopes for each system which contain all system passwords including web admin, cold fusion admin and ssl cert passphrases.
2. Physical access only needs a boot cd. Boot to the CD, mount s0, blank password, unmount s0 (there's a sync bug in one+ version), boot system.

Mozilla's not supported on solaris 7 so I installed netscape 7.0 which seems to be working, even if a little slow.
I am able to see your site as presented though.
Thanks again. Now let's see what's working better/not working now.

While most of the background is white, the background of the blue (or black) text is black.
I went there from your link. That black on black text and dark blue text on black makes is especially easy to read.
If I could find something that has the same sort of format: "news for nerds" and "info for infojunkies" then I'd read that.
Until then, I read Slashdot.
Our household has three telephone numbers (two cell and one house). I put all three in way back at the beginning.
So maybe dividing the 41 million by 2 or 3 would be a better match for "households"
So it's closer to 15% than 50% even presuming every person in the US has a phone.
