Oh crud - you left out the link, so I can't read more on this tragic prince story. Why must you toy with me?! That's ok, it will be caught on the dupe.:)
Stuff that matters? That some guy wants to sell some art on Slashdot? On the plus side, when the dupe is posted, it will have some funny comments. (unlike this post)
So they want me to re-up with a usenet provider? No prob - back to newscene I go... I didn't renew since torrents were working so great, but I'll go right back to using usenet...

When RIAA started being asshats, I just about stopped buying CDs. (I still sometimes buy them now as gifts - but almost never for myself anymore). Maybe for MPAA I'll watch fewer movies - but with how few good ones come out, I don't think anyone will notice a few lost ticket sales a year...
Sun has a lot more than a year left in them. Now SGI on the other hand, needs to do a reverse stock split, or they will be delisted.... (Cray is doing quite poorly too)
It's quite nice of SUN to help the BSD folk, though I don't doubt they get more on a tax write-off than they could sell the gear for.
Any OS that can do Java... Log-in to your account, click on virutual number - pick launch browser based gen - login via the java window, make your number... If running windows you have the option to download a local version of the same thing.
Unless you add something like "and previously, a stock minimal debian install ran aplication _xyz_ 15% slower or in 20% more drive space" your comment doesn't mean anything if you don't quantify it. "I put a new exhaust on my car, and I think it is faster" would also mean nothing without a dyno test, even though it's just fine to love your distro, or exhaust, preferences don't make something objectivly better - you have to have a unit of measure...
Only very sophisticated organizations have the means to lift data off a password-protected hard drive. Encryption, while more durable in that regard, sacrifices speed with every access to the files in question.
Really? So I can't just buy another drive that is the same, swap the PCBAs and have instant access to my data? (give that a shot.)

boot using "knoppix nodma" (add "nodma" to whatever other boot option you are using) and it should come up fine.

Ummm What are you doing with it? What's your budget, and what are your expectations? Some people think a TB is big, some consider 20+ TB a building block standard (I do).
1. Look on the net and in mags. - read read read Is this a big implementation, or a small one. I'd bet a small one, or you probably wouldn't be asking here - that probably means you don't want iscsi. Direct FCAL on multi-port RAIDs might be your speed - if you aren't big enough for that, maybe some low-end storage from Dell or Apple might be your thing. 2. Bring in some vendors, tell them what you want - ask them how to do it. - talk to a few. 3. Ask about install costs to implement what you want to do. (A lot of people don't realize the work involved for large scale implementations)
If you don't have the staff to know if iscsi is for you, you may not have the staff to implement and troubleshoot it. Direct attached fibre - or even via a switch will be far easier to deal with.
If you can afford it, stay away from SATA. The problem is that it's sooo much cheaper vs FC disks on larger systems - but the seeks are slower, the mechanicals are poorer, and the command set less complete. - It's $ vs reliability.
Why it is good to start with high estimate: Gets world wide resources. Sets how many people, and how much in the way of funds will be on their way for aid.
Why it is good to start with low estimate: (normally a bad idea), may keep moral up in areas that don't see how bad things are.
When will they have something that works as well as aspell (called from pine) (for quality of getting the right word) or eudora (for that + the right click replace options, and real-time checking as you type)?
Several times I've seen capacitors 'go off' in such a way that a burst of flame came out, and in several cases they have burnt hot enough to cause delamination of pc boards, melt plastic, etc. That would burn wood just fine...
mini-itx is a form factor, not a full config. Power can be configed with a good inverter that will work just fine. Can config to run suspend state to nvram, usb keychain, flash or whatever too.
The point isn't just the size of a product sold vs what you can build - it's that it is buildable, which is much of the point of linux, you can do what you want with the config.
I'm running 2K on the first partition, and FC2 has the rest of the space. I did manual partitioning. I have no problem booting into 2K, or FC2 - works fine for me.
Yup - and if that happened people would have no choice but to patch. Now a bunch of non computer people with computers have no idea they are screwing everyone else..

Eudora is _much_ better. (aspell w/ pine is better too - as is gmail, etc) + I have it crash in spell check on me at least once a week.

Why is this on the front page any more than every

Hmmm - You could pirate it, then write a check for SRP to ID. - Then they don't even have the overhead to deal with the CDs or ship you something. :)

Yeah, dynamic content for every page, etc - and not beefing it up before trying to get it slashdotted might not have been a great idea.
