    I Agree with you ...
    We should add that it should be an Iraqui Government, not a USA one ...

    And, about that "unformatted blank disk" thing, i think that they are not. They have an interesting, very strong culture, and that's why they have had terrible governments like Saddam's one, and that's why the USA has attacked 'em, and that's why the Big North Empire has been arround for years trying to take their richness (oil) away, and used more direct tecnics (like war) instead of mind domination like they do in Latin America. They can't conquer them with TV, Drugs and Fast Food, so they had to do it directly, with war.
    The Primary reason for which this cultures are the permanent center of conflicts, is that they has a very strong, nationalist, and conservative culture, which is obviously harder to dominate.

    Well, that may happend in the USA, but here in [Argentina], work is actually cheaper than Hardware (because of the change, the dollar costs $3 of our units (Pesos)), so many small busnisses chose to hire some student to make a router with a 386.

    yep, y have 2 notebooks right now. And yes, there are machines which are a hell, and some that are well designed, but notebooks hardware won't last if it's stressed that way (hard disks and processors specially).
    In your case it's not a real example, since to do NAT there is no real disk use (only if you have squid or some other proxy w/cache) and the overhead is really low, so the machine may be using some powersaving capabilities, but you obviusly won't buy a machine like the one in the history just for routing (while there are cheap routers for $100 bucks and less), you will use it for something else, and i can tell you: if a notebook is really running on heavy load all the time (and you can't have power saving features enables for a server, imagine a server spinning down their disks) the processor will fry after some time. Just think about the cooling you have in your Desktop, and the limited cooling that you have in a notebook ... (You can touch it a little to put a cooler on it, but that won't be of much help if she's going to be in a raq)

    Yep, but there is an advantage:
    Think this is going for a server, the real meaning of server is 24*7; so heat is your enemy here ... there is no notebook out there that can manage to have 7 months of uptime with a high cpu usage without burning out or hanging all the time ... Crusoe is a beatifull cold processor. But i agree with you ... this kind of device is for marketroids that wants some big company behind their hard/soft, because they think that is a kind of warranty of profit (like all those assholes using redhat) ... If you have the knowledge *and* the balls to tell the manager that you are going to put home-made hardware in their raqs; it will work as well as any of this closed boxes.

Off course, they are all over I.E (they use it to browse their p0rn "hacked" sites.) That's the other thing "jaquers" are good for ... hacking pr0n sites.

    Why?, well, because if you know how to install popfile, or spamassesin, or whatever, spammers are not interested on you. you are not going to buy them anything anyway ... so they just don't care. They care about all those windoze people outthere.. the kind of people that has a hotmail account, they are the only ones who can beleive theit shit. So, they are not going to stop SPAM. Even if we find a definitive techical way to block it, they will start to SPAM other systems, like MSN / ICQ, forums, etc,etc,etc. So, i suggest that we stick with spamassesin, and just forget about SPAM. For me, SPAM is just a few gigabites of montlhy transfer. I don't receive it, my custommers does, but who cares?, it's their fault. As i was satying, just transfer, ignore it, they won't stop spamming, it's a too fucking big business for them to just drop it.

    Many Times the Free Software movement has been critiziced for doing that, but in that case we had good reasons 1) Ethical 'Improve' 2) Thecnical Improve. But, in this case, m$ is just developing something that allready exist, just for commercial reasons. And, in this case, everyone seems to agree with that, they even can accept the missfeatures of beta realeses that are being sold (while the same people seems to not accept beta releases that are out there to download for free). It seems that if software is propietary, and with a big company behind it, people accepts aggresive changes, backward incompatibility, hardware issues, failing drivers, beta features puted on so called 'realeses' that are actually being sold. But, they can't take that from Free Software, they try to take down HURD because they say there is allready a Free Unix Kernel, they talk against free software by naming those 'unstable, unsupported' beta features. But when beta code is hacked into a propietary products and sold away, they call them 'New Advanced Features'.

    jajaja, always the same ...
    I use BSD too ... in fact, the hosting company that i work had Propietary BSD/OS hosting VPSs until 2000, Now our servers run GNU/Linux but our DNS server is running FreeBSD, at home i have an old mac running NetBSD, what i mean is that i like and i know *BSD; and is because of that, that i consider really stupid this GNU/Linux Vs. *BSD thing. For many tasks, such as desktop use (besides darwin off course), Free/Net/Open BSD are not ready, while GNU/Linux is. For others, like research or hobby programming, i think FreeBSD for example gives you a more interesting, less conservative plataform. And if you talk about Philosofy, i think we are on the same boat (except for some Linux Kernel Hackers that seems to be more money-making maniacs that bill itself.)
    About Security, you should remember that FreeBSD and GNU/Linux differ on the Kernel, but 90% of BSD software is GNU Software, so, the vulnerabilities are the same in both plataforms, besides kernel ones, and some other that are especific.
