The company and the project should continue to run. A persons "personal life" should not be an excuse until the moment he/she is being missed in the project beyond reasonable.
ISPs and phone line companies with underground lines could distribute a set of servers across the area.
In Portugal, buried lines for the fixed network are distributed in a network across the country owned by the biggest telco in the country (Portugal Telecom) which bought it from the state a few years ago. They do have datacenters and instead of having one huge datacenter, they could, in the junction boxes around the country, place "small" servers and distribute+replicate the data across the country. I believe this could cut costs and be more productive in terms of "damage control".
I ain't got anything against Hans, but why should anyone donate for his defense?
Is he unable to aford it?
Hans has a job and has been awarded a lot of money in support for the development of reiserfs.
Has he asked for anyone's help? If he needs anything I'm sure theres plenty of people to help, but just because the guy is an open source developer, you're sterotyping him as a guy without his own resources?
Why don't people also make donations when it comes to defending homeless people that often are used as escape goats for street murderers and drug dealers? Are they any less then Hans?
This might be a starting point for digital warfare if it isn't already this way. Sides at war start planting extremely powerful viruses and concealed viruses into the enemy's main computers, even though the main purpose for viruses has always been severely destructive or to allow inapropriate access to data (trojans/backorifices).
Just about my full arm lenght. Both are TFT, so I'm not that concerned...
Now serious. I was moderated -1 (Flamebait) but what I said is true. There are people more sensitive to that kind of radiation. There are some that can have the access point at full power and fell nothing, and there are some that even without the AP being at full power start feeling headache. I happen to be extremely sensitive to it, near a access point I suffer from extremly painfull headaches, and my U. campus now is full of them and all at maximum power. The only place I'm free from them is my own office there, which is in the only campus building that does not have any access point. I hear of a lot of people that complain about headache near the AP's there. There are a lot of studies about the effects of that over the net.
Nevertheless, I do think that most people have access points not because they need, but just to show off. All my friends for example...
I just want to see how it would be in a few years, when we all start to suffer from the radiation effects. Even at 2.4 Gig, 0.2W you can already feel some headache if you are sensitive. A CISCO 1100 at my university campus was at it's highest power and everybody in a 10m radius was feeling headache. But 5GHz? Is everyone trying to cook us making this place a big microwave oven? Way too dangerous. I sincerely hope they apply the radio tariffs here to it, as they applied to CB and everything else. I can see some of my friends using it, but I see nobody needing it. My friends are just beeing snob...
but there are opensource third party drivers that work exclent with ATI's. I have a Radeon 9000Pro 128MB and I use the Gatos Drivers (http://gatos.sourceforge.net) with dri from http://dri.sourceforge.net and I get exelent performances. It is a bit difficult to understand which is the right package first, and how to install, but when you finally get it, it works great. I use it now with kernel-2.4.21. They also have links to a page where you can download a utility to control the tvout and the dual-head features.
By the way, if one want's the real ATI drivers, one should get the FireGL drivers, which I already confirmed, they are still on the site, as always were. Those were the only Linux drivers ATI ever had in its site.

I've heard about being treated like a dog at airports, now they'll just make it official, collar and all.
In China, they have the same competition. But then you win and they send the bill to your family.
"Daddy, daddy, you misbehaved! splaft!"
for less money you can get a hug too, and at the expense of no batteries, just blow until it's full. Sex shops already sell them... :P

"I can't say I didn't see it comming"...
Yeah, its like those self heating soup and coffee cans, you just pull the seal off, in this case, the snail "antennae" off :P
The first meal I'm gonna be serving my mother-in-law, when I have one, it will be Escargot a La Nuke.

Namesys it's Hans own job which he runs(used to?) from his own home.
It's to kill for!!!
mod parent up funny
It could be, but the same sticker clearly states "Made in China"
Why does the IBM sticker on the back of the machine says "Marca Registrada", spanish for Registered Trademark?
...shocking my toillet.
