The easiest way to cause frequency variation: change the load on the generator.
In a very short period of time, (approximately zero) the draw on the generators may have jumped. This very fast ramp up would have effectively stalled the generator for a very short period of time. Then, the motor would start spinning again, and most likely overshoot the proper rotational speed, and frequency would over what it should be.
Then, over time the system that regulates the output of the generators would slowly slew the frequency back to what it's supposed to be.
I've only been using them for a few months, so I'm not sure of the long term durability of them.
There are drivers in the stock kernel for the 5575, and Interphase supplies half-and-half drivers for both the 5575 and 5576 which work even better (and support stuff like VBR and the failover capabilities of the 5576)
The 5575 can do 4096vc while the 5576 with full memory can do 64k. The 5575 only supports using a single PVC at a time, while the 5576 is a little more flexible.
Driving the 5576 at line rate using the interphase driver is no problem. We use them to do IP traffic via IPIP tunnel to PPPOEOATM re-encapsulation and have no problems with the cards.
The interphase drivers also come with some interface utils, although the standard utils work fine also.
As a Debian user (not bearded though), who prefers dselect to anything else, and has no problem telling people to RTFM when it seems like they haven't, who doesn't really care for GNU/Linux or Linux one way or another, and has a win2k box right next to my Linux box (though I would never claim it to be as stable as my Linux box), I take offense at being compared to the wool wearing, steel frame riding stubborn old person.
I like my front-suspension, aluminum frame 27 speed (34 teeth in the rear), but I'd still pick dselect if I was only able to keep one.
Not that it matters anymore, since someone stole my bike. Bike lock technology, how much has that changed? And do you think the ability to break locks has advanced faster (I do, someone grabbed 4 bikes, a total of 5 locks (two on mine) when they grabbed my bike, and all in less then 10 minutes, in a well lit area)

No, you're most definetely not wrong.
I wasn't trying to disagree with thermodynamics: I understand it quite well.
Trying to use the vibrations generated by the phone, to recharge the battery that was drained to create the motions is a losing battle.
It's much easier to turn of the vibrator and not worry about it.

I never said broadband was more important then food or shelter.
I also never said broadband should be provided universally, or at uniform cost.
I said don't ever expect a privately owned corporation to provided universal broadband, at universal cost. A corporation will provide what it feels like.
Well, I live in Canada, and broadband, though widespread, is still not universal.
I think the main reason Canada has better broadband peneatration is that, compared to say, the US, people in Canada tend to be clustered closer together
(I could be wrong, but I think people in the US tend to be more spread out)
But, there are still places in Canada that don't have broadband, my parents place is a great example: They don't have gas, cable or anyform of broadband, even though the gasline, and cable trunk are less then a kilometer away.
Both the gas company and the cable company said that sure, we could have service, if we dug the trench ourselves, laid the pipe/cable, and paid them to hook it up.
Even though doing so would allow them to reach about a hundred new users a few hundred meters away.
Government "watched" corporations are never going to provided the services users want when they want them, how they want them.
The only way we are going to get broadband across the board is if the government mandates it, and takes it upon themselves to install and run it. As soon as it's left up to a corporation todo, they're going to not provide services to the customers that are expensive. Why? Because thats the point of a corporation. They want to make a profit. Period.
Private corporations are not the ideal method of provided uniform services, because not everyone can be served at uniform cost.
The sooner we realize this, and stop trying to privatize everything, we'll be better off
Not the most in-expensive option

RAMdisk RAID?

Though what your suggesting would work, and I've done similar things before, think of the additional costs:
12GB of Ram 12 Gig nic cards 1 >12 port Gig ethernet switch. Setup time
For what your looking at spending, it may be the same cost as buying some U320 scsi disks and some sort of SCSI raid card.
Actually, with Debian Security advisories, they DSA email includes the package md5sum
So unless they managed to break into the mailserver, and also my home machine and my laptop and change the email sent out and also the emails I received, I can use this as a known good source for package verification.
So, yes, they might be able to access the archive server and replace the package, but it won't have the fingerprint I was told it would have.
I _NEVER_ have to include the pre-installed software with the pc. However, once I have donated it, the people I donate the pc too are the only ones who can use it.
I can destroy the software, and send them a blank machine with no OS whatsoever. I can send them a pc with Linux/*BSD on it, or I can send them the Windows it came with. Whichever I choose, I can't continue to use the Windows myself. I must give the cd's/backups/docs to the people I donated it to, or I must destroy them.
But I don't have to donate it with the pre-installed os.
Now, I'll agree that they are probably the biggest selling genre, but what about the games that predated them:

There is one thing most protesters have to remeber though: they will all claim to right to assemble. Absolutely right. Everyone has the right to assemble, even the people who were there for the convention.
Yes, thats right, the people there for the convention have as much right to be there as the protesters do. So any protester who flipped a dumpster, or held up traffic or tried to stop or block the convention, congratulations, you just violated the same right to assemble that you hold so dear.
Personally, i think you should lose the right at that point.

RE:you can use just 5 floppies...download the rest
Well if you have only ide drives, then you can use the idepci floppies(just 2: boot and root) with the ethernet drivers in the kernel, and you can download the rest(drivers, base and packages)
Performance can be an issue. If you run a mail or news server,/var (actually/var/spool or/var/news) would be a seperate drive or drive array for speed.
Another reason is security. if you have / as your whole drive, and some cracker attacks your box, they could cause/var/log to grow till it swallowed the whole partition and took down the machine. seperate/var and / help this slightly.
Same thing if / is the whole machine, and you have a user who fills their home dir./home and / seperate also fix this.
It's a combination of security and performance that dictate what should have it's own partitions.

/boot 15mb

swap 125MB
/var 7.6g or whatever
disk 2 is the same.
the/boot partitions on both are kept the same by hand. / and/var are raid1's and/usr and/tmp are symlinked to/var/usr and/var/tmp at install time.
why: this gives the maximum amount of space where it is needed, whereever that might be. For upgrading,/var has space to store packages, compiling,/home has space for source tree's. And if a drive fails, you have a second copy of everything.
LVM and dynamically sized partitions are the next closest thing, but you still have to change the size with lvm.
Oh, and having/usr and/tmp on/var doesn't matter. If you haven't mounted/var, alot of programs in/usr won't work anyway.

You can do it that way, or install the debian equivs package.
You set equivs up and tells the system that there is local software installed that provides qt, or x or whatever you need.
I use if on my local install of X until branden gets X stable. This way, i don't have to fool with putting packages on hold.
there is a debian package called equivs that allows you to specify that you have local software installed that provides any debian packages.
How is debian different from any other distro in this respect? Simple, it's better, not worse.
With redhat, when you upgrade when they release every 6 months, and you will never see the bug, though it might be there.
With debian, because of the longer release cycle, it might get found.
Finding long term bugs has nothing to do with how often you release, it has to do with how ofter you upgrade your systems.
