if you have a variety of sizes, they make cool wind chimes. All the same size would be boring unless you could retune the platters, which might prove difficult.

That's so well said it bears repeating. There's no better sign of impending victory than the frenzied confusion of an opponent who simply has no clue what to do.
I have an emerson TV/VCR combo that differs from its more expensive brother model (the one with OUT as well as IN jacks) only in having an extra bit of plastic on the molded outer case, to cover the jacks...
I like model upgrades that happen with a pair of pliers, I do; if only emerson didn't suck so very much...
... not only have we in theory at least eliminated a Bad Thing, but we've managed to get the name of the first person to put against the wall when the revolution comes.
...really, though, I've read and enjoyed a lot of his stuff, I kind of expected better from him. I don't disagree with what he's saying, its just that I know he can flame better than that.
Excellent coding font; I've done the same (terms, emacs, browser monospace). The variable pitch lucida is good too. I keep meaning to find a font editor to fix the few problems; "l" vs. "1", "O" vs. "0", and "rn" vs. "m".
I find that in white on black; it's readable down to 10 pixel size on a 1840x1380 21" monitor. 12 pixels is comfortable and makes for 260x104 characters on screen. Yummy...
This is a free software license but is incompatible with the GNU GPL. The primary incompatibility is that this Python license is governed by the laws of the 'State' of Virginia in the USA, and the GPL does not permit this. "
find a construction company that has fallen on hard times from a grand state a few years back. See if they have any laser transit / positioning systems available (the ones I saw were made by Spectra Physics, there were other manufacturers, too). New, they'd be way too expensive for you, used you might can find a deal.
Use the TBF queue discipline for rate limiting down to small bandwidths. 128Mbps isn't small and I assume that's not what you meant; if it was I want an apartment in that building. As far as I know, CBQ limits by themselves don't start to kick in until there's congestion. Also look at freshmeat for the non-stock WRR qdisc; and maybe apply that "overall" over your CBQ.
Secondly, as the queue discipline's application is connection based, your requirements are probably not that big. At a guess from experiance with a similar if far smaller job, I'd say you'll be fine with vanilla, mid-range hardware. I'd keep the DHCP and other "user" services on a different box, and dedicate one to being the router. I'd think 128MB of RAM would be overkill, but fast RAM and fast NIC won't hurt. CPU probably won't matter much; whatever's cheap will have gobs of spare time between packets anyway... A CPU with real cache would be preferred over a Celeron, though.
With zerocopy, when you issue sendfile(), the kernel does the network DMA straight from the page cache, avoiding that extra copy. In the case where the network card is capable of doing the TCP checksum in hardware (as a lot of newer cards can), the kernel doesn't even have to look at the data between the disk DMA and the network DMA.
This is almost consumer electronics, after all; there's no such thing as a static product line anymore. Even the venerable 3c509b is being (has been?) phased out for a -c version; which almost certainly has nothing fundamentally new or worthwhile in the way of capabilities, but might be a cheaper design, and is just different enough to cause trouble with old drivers. See also backward combatability.
Spike strips usually consist of hollow spikes that break off and stay in the tire; "self-sealing" tires are no defense. There exists a superball type rubber compound you can use to fill tires instead of air; it is commonly used in construction equipment and tractors but will fuck up the handling and ride of cars on a highway.
Name server. Even with the high possibility of future BIND exploits, who will go to the trouble of creating shellcode for a Dreamcast? "I can't find the mailserver?"... "Oh, sorry, I was playing games"
Considering that the reliability and durability of these boxes is going to be far better than the average bits of PC hardware, I think they'd be very well suited to be credit card processors. Even if you can't hook up a modem to them directly they could make use of a terminal server and a seperate network segment. In that application the lack of disk will be a plus, "extra security" and all.
The thought of businesses across the nation depending on $99 video game consoles and really cool hacks for their income just appeals, somehow...
I-355 in Chicago had cameras on the onramp toll booths shortly after it opened; in the first couple years or so I never saw one of them that hadn't been spray painted...

I've seen your vic20 in logs; it brightened my day, for which many thanks.

IIRC the FCC uses SAP for their databases.
Most phone companies have an unmetered local usage plan, or at least a capped pricing system (chares by minute until $10/mo or something).
Cool Edit Pro. Even has a multiball mode and spin modelling.
:)

...and they want to drop the "actual enumeration" bit, too. They're not allowed to make up numbers for redistricting purposes this time; next time...

I had a great argument refuting this article, but I forgot what I was gonna say...
