I see absolutely zero need for Portage on any of the popular BSD systems, except for Mac OS X. Having it on Mac OS X would be much better than using Fink.
I use Fink now, but I don't have flexibility in deciding what features I wish to have compiled in to my software (at least, not that I am aware of).
The disadvantages layed out for Promise are pretty weak, mostly insignificant. I don't care about their Web site or their literatures; however, the point about Windows XP would be important.
I use Promise cards and they have worked very well under FreeBSd, which has native support for their cards in the ata(4) drive. I can also use atacontrol to see the status of the RAID, as well as see messages in dmesg about it.
I would totally recommended these cards for FreeBSD.
My Sawtooth PowerMac G4 which I purchased in March of 2000 has one large case fan in the middle, which blows air over the CPU heat sink and cools the entire box inside.
In Windows 2000 Server, the Task Manager is unable to kill all processes. You'll get an Access Denied error some times. I recall having this experience quite often when inetinfo.exe would go crazy.
The solution was pskill, which I found somewhere on the Web. It's a command line utility and is able to kill anything, even on a remote system.
I believe the difference lies somewhere in which API each program uses to issue the kill signal. I know that pskill uses the POSIX layer. Don't know about the Task Manager.
The server which is getting the new software is k.root-servers.net, which is managed by RIPE in London, UK. It handles DNS for the "." (root) domain.
Verisign does not run this server, but they do have their own DNS servers which handle DNS for TLD's such as "com" and "net" -- and is totally seperate from the root servers. I am sure all of those systems are still running ATLAS.
(Of course, if I recall correctly, VeriSign does manage one of the 13 root servers. I think it is a.root-servers.net, but I may be wrong.)
I'd tell myself a few things, but not necessarily at 12 years old.
At 12, I'd tell myself to join the wrestling team in junior high as the guidance counselor suggested. It would have boosted my confidence and self-image.
At 15, I'd tell myself that I'm gay, as to stop all the damn confusion about why I wasn't attracted to girls yet. Find that youth group and make some friends who can relate to you.
At 17, I'd tell myself to apply to a different university and major in computer science, history, and/or political science. You'll decide in about two years that working in broadcasting sucks major ass.
At 20, I'd tell myself to not even try to get back into a relationship with my first boyfriend. It'll just end again two years later. Doing so will have kept you in college, for sure.
At 24, I'd tell myself that you'll hopefully meet Devin and that you should have moved to New York City. I'd also tell myself not to get a job in or around the World Trade Center.
As a somewhat former mali server administrator, I would say that the intense amount of SPAM being sent to hotmail.com has a lot do with the decreasing availibility of MX's for hotmail.com. I remember watching the Postfix logs one day and it received "connection refused" messages one right after another until it finally found an MX that responded to it, which was maybe the fifth or sixth one it tried.
While I was a student at Ball State, I remember it often referred to as Testical Tech.
As for something on-topic, I grew up near an old military airstrip called Stout Field in Indianapolis, which, if I recall correctly, based a group of women pilots who used to transport airplanes across the country for the military back during World War II. I think.
None-the-less, Stout Field is still there and the hangers are still there -- looking pretty darn old. It is now the headquarters of the Indiana National Guard.
I think we can pretty much assume that most informed administrators would patch the security hole on their systems.
My guess is that the vast majority of Windows administrators do not subscribe to Microsoft's security advisories list and were not aware that they needed to fix a problem. This is probably due to shear ignorance and/or lack of responsibility.
Furthermore, tons of Windows servers are sitting out there which don't have anyone administrating them and keeping them up-to-date.
A lot of small companies simply don't want to pay someone a service contract to maintain such things, but GOD FORBID they don't get to have their expensive Exchange/File/Print server.
One would think that a company such as Microsoft, who has seemingly unexhaustable resources, would at least be able to come up with something a little more original than making their own "switcher" ads ala Apple.

Slashdot over IPv6

According to Microsoft, this is only supported on Windows XP (just to make it clear to others). They also say that the upcoming Windows 2003 Server will support IPv6, in at least the same state in which XP does.
I think it is still considered "beta" so-to-speak.
IBM has a Web page located here which has information and a PDF which backups the parent's claim of a 900mhz bus, as well as claiming that the chip will hit production during the second half of 2003. Of course, deadlines tend to always get pushed back. It also mentions target speeds of 1.4 to 1.8 Ghz. It looks like someone's PowerPoint presentation, but it is full of details.
If you read the e-mail that the project manage with Apple sent to the KHTML developers, you'll see that they started this project a year ago. Chimera wasn't around then -- so how could they have chosen it? Mozilla hadn't even reached 1.0 at that point, either.
The guy made a huge mistake thinking he could have gotten away with it. Too risky, if you ask me. Apple is obviously within their legal rights to do this.
I can understand Apple's behavior. Since they are the underdog in the computing industry, I believe they hold on to their desgins and technologies in such a tight fashion because, after all, what else do they have? It isn't market share. They need to keep a firm grip on whatever they have which makes them unique.
When people within Apple are leaking trade secrets then it has the potential to hurt Apple a lot more than it would companies like Hewlett-Packard and IBM.
I feel exactly the same way. Two years ago this month I switched to FreeBSD from RedHat, and have never looked back. My FreeBSD server started out on version 4.2-RELEASE and is now up to 4-STABLE (as of a month ago). Runs great.

It is my understanding that the bus on the G5's _is_ HyperTransport.
I am pretty sure that PHP 4 comes with a MySQL client library, and it is enabled by default during 'configure'.
In FreeBSD Ports, it compiled the MySQL client package and uses it instead.
What do you mean? There are two sets of options: Verify/Repair Permissions and Verify/Repair Disk.
Your comment about fans is untrue.

This may or may not be feasible, but IPSec in transport mode is an excellent way to secure data between two hosts on a LAN.
