We are currently running on an AMD K6 300 with 160MB of DRAM. It is running FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE. We are using the Apache web server with the PHP4 module. On the database side, we are using MySQL.
Well, no wonder they got h4x0r3d--I don't know what kind of exploits 4.6 has, but I know it is not supported by FreeBSD. Sounds like they could use an upgrade. Otherwise, the site runs pretty damn good for an AMD K6 300 with 160 MB of RAM.
I've always found that getting up off my ass to get an ice cold refreshment in the dorm was about as good as actually drinking the beverage. Sometimes its nice to take a trip from the third floor to the basement to get a drink just to get away from the work even for a minute.
has a great ports system which allows you to build software from the source automatically. I find with ports, you can get the latest software in a more timely fashion as a package is not always available and it can be built to use your machines entire potential. The package system is integrated into the ports system, however, so you can build your own package from the newest port then distribute it onto several machines. The other good thing about packages is for older machines with small hard drives and slow processors-you would probably run out of drive space (and patience) trying to build something like openoffice from source. That's just my experience using source and packages for a particular system.
Seems like anything concerning XFree 4.3.0 would be old news. XFree 4.4.0 is out now, and whether you like the licence change or not, a bit of good news would be ATI's support for that.
Here's the bottom line: slide shows are boring. We've known this all along--a slide show is a slide show--but we still continue to employ them. Turn the lights off and, "Hello nap time!" Nobody is learning because everybody is sleeping.
I believe the E-ZPass system allows you to put a certain amount of money into an account (if you use a check at least). So if a theif did run off with your E-ZPass, then the most he could steal would be whatever you had in your E-ZPass account.
At any rate, if your tag was stolen--I think you would notice. Tag stealing usually involves breaking into and/or stealing the car too. In that case, just report your tag (and your car!) as stolen.
First off, I would not trust the government to supply me a new body part.
Second, hand transplants do actually happen, and the fingerprints do not change to that of the original hand of the patient. They also do corneal transplants of the eye...I don't see entire eye transplants too far off. In either case, your DNA will not change the appearance of the donated body part.
I've got a few CD's that sort of hamper ripping them into singles. The beginning of the next track is the end of the previous song. It takes some editing if you just want one song by itself, but this sort of thing plays to the idea of the whole album being the art and the songs are just a piece of it.
Generally I listen to CDs in order and play them all the way through anyway. When I rip them, I keep the tracks in order too by naming the file by the track number first. I like all the songs on the CDs I have like that, so I never bothered editing them. I'd rather preserve the track as it was on the CD anyway.
My God, as a FreeBSD user I think I'd have a heart attack if all these companies started putting their online music into Windows Media format and DRM to boot. I think I speak for most if not all of the Linux and BSD users out there too.
Anyway, think about it -- you're getting a "CD" that is compressed in a lossy format by about 13 times over. That is not worth 10 bucks. If you take quality into account, a $15 CD in that format is worth only $1.15.
I think paying $0.99 per track is a big rip-off. Don't expect me to pay for some lossy mp3 (or worse). There is a pretty large sacrifice in quality when you're taking a CD down to mp3 level. Some people don't care, but I would like to see these companies put out in FLAC format - that would be worth 99 cents. Once you have the FLAC you can convert it into an mp3 if you want or make a cd that is cd-quality.

RTFA!! This is a DESKTOP drive!
This is the only CD printer I've ever needed: $2 CD printer

Of course we all know *BSD lived in the end and because of it the world was a better place.
Somebody's gotta start on writing a driver for /dev/smell0
Yeah, except it says Mon, February 30 next to it.

Only it sucks when you have to sharpen your pencil!
It's magic!

They called it ork.exe too...imagine what damage an Ork could do to your system!
I'd think getting your foot caught in a giant gear would hurt!
play "Brandy, you're a fine girl."
Can I file for an extension on my domain name please?
yes it would really seem that way considering Freshports is still on the list you just posted

I don't think this is what Rube Goldberg had in mind!

UFO sightings have shot up by 50% in the Colorado/Wyoming area.
Seriously, I wonder how many people will claim to have been abducted by what we know to be a laser beam.
Or is the laser a cover-up for a known alien landing?
Personally I'd like to outsource the Winners.
