I don't think you get the point. If the parent poster gives his CD away or sells it, the label doesn't earn anything for that copy. If, on the other hand, he stashed them away in the attic, someone else would have to go out and buy a new copy instead of his used.
The metric system gets really fun when you start handing in reports using units like "attoparsec per microfortnight" (about 2.6 cm/second). The results are technically correct, but a pain to score:)
I had a Budweiser Budvar (no, not the.us crap) last night that was labelled 500 ml, 50 cl, 0.5 l. Nice and easy if you find the metric system so hard - and the beer is quite good too:)
TruCluster is still a very nice product and is still in use in many places. HP has announced that eventhough Tru64 is going to die, both TruCluster and AdvFS (Thank you, oh great developers - excellent FS/VM combo:)) are going to be ported to HPUX.
And for the rest of us who want decent cooling without having actual liquid running in our cases? Oh yeah, air cooling.
With a decent choice of fans and heatsinks, you can make an air cooled box decently quiet without spending the small fortune to put in something that requires maintenance and would do great damage if it failed.
If my fan dies, my CPU shuts down. What happens if your liquid gear leaks?
No, i read mail on a 100mbit connected box, yes, i recieve lots of mail and no, it doesn't drown in spam.
When i read mail when i get up in the morning, i usually run through the subjects and from-adresses in list view and delete anything that's a definite spam. Anything that i notice showing up all of the time goes in the spam filter (which almost all mail proggies have - i use the header filter in postfix) and i kill the rest of the spam when i go through the real messages. It takes me next to no time.
I'm not saying spam isn't a problem and shouldn't be dealt with - i'm saying that whining about "Waaah, email is useless because of spam" is just plain stupid. If people don't have the mental capacity to fairly easily filter out most spam, maybe they should stick to dead-tree-based mail...
It depends on the SMTP server software. In an ideal world, the spammer would deliver one copy to hos relay host, that relay host would deliver one copy to each of the servers maintaining the domains that the spam is being sent to and those servers keep one copy for all to share.
Some of the decent open source ones do the first two but store a copy of the message in each of the mailboxes.
Some of the database-like mail proggies only stores a single copy of the message for all of the recipients.
The future of email will be just like the present of email - most people will complaint about getting spam and delete it, some people will do automated spam detection and deletion of some sort and a few will work to get rid of spammers.
I doubt anything will really change and i don't really see the great big problem. I get tonnes of spam and i spend (at most) a minute a day deleting it. I *really* don't care...
Uhm, $80 isn't even that expensive. In Denmark we pay about $120/month for 2048k/512k ADSL with free traffic and i believe we're on the cheap end of the scale in Europe...
Do you have Britney Spears home address?

Her music really means something to me, and I'd like to give her a six inch cbeck in person.
Of course I'm joking, but it can be hard to reach specific musicians, and what about all the backup/studio musicians?

Tuborg and Carlsberg sell their (so they call it) beer in 500ml cans on the scandinavian market.

And guinness isn't even the best of stouts.
Orkney Brewery makes Dragonhead stout, a very fine representative of the class.
How much demand is there these days for a non-Linux *nix?
A lot. The major Unix vendors still spew out cartloads of systems running Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Tru64. Also, BSD is gaining ground.
Linux isn't the only thing around, you should try opening your eyes a bit.
Anything will blow solstice out of the water. It's horrible.
I heard some talk about integrating veritas into the base OS in Solaris 10, but i don't know if that made it through...

Bang and Olufsen has done that for many years now.
Now if only it was updated and correct, it would be a good article :)
In most cases, ATA drives are actually faster on throughput than SCSI, but a lot of them only carry a one-year warranty now.
Actually, the point is exactly that - making lots of electricity.

It's called fusion and is, among many, thought to be the future of power generation, safe, cheap and clean.
Basically, you contain a small hydrogen plasma fusion reaction and gain massive amounts of energi.
This all depends on them actually making it work, of course - they're looking at production in 2040 or so
Denmark: about 20 euro/100kWh
So, which one's the 26th? Last time i checked, we just got to 25 with the 10 new ones...
Bleh, i took down the Commodore PC-10 servers that were purchased some time shortly after they came on the market - in 2001 :)
The Novell 3.whatever was a P75, though.
The Commodore PC-10's are 8088 4.77MHz, 640k RAM, dual floppy and/or single (~20 meg?) scsi drive.
Green on black monitors, baby!

Don't know, don't care :)
So far, it's kept my usenet-posting address out of the address-trawlers lists...

Actually, including the word "spam" somewhere in your address makes most spammers filter it out :)

Actually, he offers to sell you the Cisco Flash-card, not the software itself.
Uhm... rm -f /boot/vmlinuz; rm -f /bin/login ?
It's not really hard on *nix either...
