It's hypocritical to profess to follow a particular set of religious teachings if you're blatantly ignoring the parts of those teaching which are inconvenient for you.
Most modern religions did exactly this with the same core tenants a LONG time ago.
And by the way, you're paying an assload of money for all of this too, including another crappy chassis.
Actually the chassis looked to be one of the better pieces from what I read in the article. It does look a little rice-y but it fits standard ATX motherboards so future upgrades can continue to use it. It also has internal LED lighting so you don't need to fumble around with a flashlight when working inside the case (powered by 2-AA batteries so the chassis power can be disconnected, as it should be anytime the case is opened).
While its way too overpriced for me and my relatively-simplistic PC needs, the case seems to have gotten a bit of innovation (Dell adopting a standard ATX form-factor case incredibly innovative is FOR THEM considering their previous track record).
Don't forget about all the Acorn and RISC-OS machines still in active use. Shame the ARM platform never really took-off as a PC alternative, some of those boxes are kinda nifty for basic tasks.
I formally request an allotment of 8,000 orcs for the year. While this is up 40% from last year with an annual experience point gain of only 18%, I predict big things for the land of Morkdor in the next 12 months. Players are up as our Q4 results show and market reports indicate a heavy influx of min-maxers which will boost demand 3-fold. Spell-casting is up, endurance bonuses are up, and saving throws are down. As a result more orcs are needed to handle the new typical player experience. If we're able to score a deal for some trolls or another Beholder by Q2 we may be able to scrape by with current inventories, but as it stands we'll deplete the orc supply in a matter of months, having to resort to tacky side-quests in some of the more fairy-populated areas.
So long as you don't start feeding your plants Brawndo, I don't think you have anything to worry about.
Idiocracy is one of my favorite movies, and I just bought a case. I'm just waiting for someone to come out with those Rayon shirts, brought to you by Carl's Jr.
I think its largely a matter of taste, but I for one wouldn't touch iTunes again with a 10' pole after using ml_iPod in Winamp. I've always been more partial to Winamp's Media Library interface, search features, playlist capabilities, and small resource usage so its only natural for me to prefer it to what I see as a bloated overly-polished (read slow-and-clunky) iTunes interface.
Goes without saying that I know my taste in this regard isn't suited to everybody, but its what I like and I'm sticking with it until something better comes along.
64k stereo is fine for MP3. I usually listen to the 56k stereo streams on my favorite netradio station and aside from sounding a bit like FM radio, they sound fine. Unlistenable is definitely not the word.
Its one thing to go on Slashdot and say they are idiots. Its another to complain directly to a company who is running child labor camps in 3rd world countries. Its another ENTIRELY when someone who has no business relationship with a company calls this company to tell them they are idiots for choosing a particular OS support company.
The latter is not only a complete waste of time for everyone involved, but it shows a real lack of civility for those trying to make the case for Linux in business (not being tied to a single vendor).
If you actually have to administer the firewall, the Checkpoint GUI is second to none.
I find that Firewall Builder, while having an interface similar to the CheckPoint GUI, is more robust. Plus it gives the added benefit multiple firewall backends including pf, ipf, ipfw, iptables, and Cisco PIX. The new queuing and rule options available with the 2.1.x series alone are worth taking a look at. Plus the file format is an open XML-based format and the output rule files are actually quite readable.
Cheers! Are you a Manuel Kasper disciple too? I just upgraded my 3-year old net4501, developed with Manuel's old MiniBSD notes, to a PC Engines WRAP 1.E board, also running FreeBSD 6.2 on a 32 MB flash.
Both the Soekris and the WRAP are the most fun routing platforms I've ever played with. Of course, at $300, its not as cost-effective as a WRTG54L but much more of a learning experience.
I second this. Bacula v2.0.0 also adds encryption support via openssl and a number of other goodies like a web-based interface to look at previous backups and schedules. It also supports pre- and post-backup scripts so we can do things like near-live MySQL backups (via mysqldump) and has a highly-configurable scheduler.
I work for a small/medium business (~150 employees) with a variety of Linux, BSD, and Win32 hosts, and we use bacula for all our backup work. Actually, we are also using BackupExec for a few of the Win32 boxes but will likely be switching strictly to Bacula once we get 2.0.0 implemented in production (of which I am the lead implementor).
Currently, we backup about 70 hosts daily with bacula v1.36, using Bacula's on-disk file storage on a 1.7TB RAID5 volume for daily backups and AIT-2 tapes for weekly differential and monthly full backups (2 copies of each full backup, one to store locally and one to ship off-site as part of our disaster-recovery requirements). Bacula is fantastic for this, particularly for locating and restoring files that were backed-up at a specific point in time (to appease the occational "can you restore a proposal I created two weeks ago and have since overwritten several times?" users). With this upgrade I'm performing, we're moving from the older AIT-2 tapes to Ultrium3 which has a 400GB/800GB (compressed) capacity per tape, about 10 times that of our AIT-2's. Couple that with a Dell ML6000 tape library and 36 tape slots and we now have a backup system that will easily grow with our organization. And all for FREE! Bacula's mailing lists are fantastic for support and answering those not-so-easy questions.
My only real gripe with the system is the inability for backups stored on multiple volume types (disk-based versus tapes) to be restored via a single job, but I believe this has been addressed with 2.0.0. Other than that, I love Bacula! I've been more excited about the 2.0.0 release than any other software upgrade in quite a while.

My Android phone does all these, and is ARM-based.

If you took a job where working around the laws of thermodynamics was part of the job description, you deserve to be fired.
But it never starts like that.
The job requirement was more likely "Ability to boil water," and it all went downhill from there...

Then get an inexpensive SATA controller and a drive caddy like this with additional cooling. With 5400rpm drives this makes a nice alternative.

M0n0wall uses iptables and is based on FreeBSD.
It is FreeBSD, but it uses ipf (similar to pf), not iptables. I believe the beta version, being based on FreeBSD 6, uses pf as Pfsense does.
