I can see regular tube fluorescent flicker, I don't have the same problem with the CFLs.
When we moved in 3 years ago, I replaced almost all of the 34 light sockets with CFLs and I've had the replace 3 of them. Once in the main hallway that is on 24/7, one in the basement that is on 24/7 and one in a track light that just burned out last week.
After trying more than a few brands, I've found the Noma Warm light to be the best for us.
No offence but Bob Young made the offer, not RedHat. I'm pretty sure Bob now owns and runs Lulu and the Ti-Cats and is not actively involved in RedHat.

Most of the gotchas are non-existant when you run MySQL with a brain larger than that of a legume in your head as well.
Most of the problems pointed out should never hit the database engine and if they do, you get what you deserve.
I've worked at more than a few multi-nationals and if queries ever hit the database engine that generated errors or inconsistancies, you'd be back, hard at work, rewriting your interface (be it Cobol or PowerHouse, or C)
We had worse problems trying to migrate to SAP at Nortel on an HP Emerald running Oracle, all kinds of weird failures with no error messages but the reports would never be consistant.
Buyer beware! You get what you pay for and that includes the quality and knowledge of your backend programmers. If you are relying on the database engine itself to stop bad input, you have larger problems than your DB choice.
It's been a long road getting from there to here It's been a long time, but my time is finally near and I will see my dream come alive at last I will touch the sky and they're not gonna hold me down no more No they're not gonna change my mind

I just have to say that anyone using MAPS or SPEWS or any other high false positive RBL list to outright blacklist servers is just asking for trouble and is indeed not a good mail admin.
You might want to use MAPS or SPEWS or others to help reduce spam in conjuntion with SA or another tool but you can not use them to block the IP's at the SMTP stage, that's just ludacris.
There are RBL's out there with almost zero false positives, use them to block the initial connection and perhaps use MAPS et al to add *points* to the spam rating of the message, but never use them to block outright.
Do aol, google, yahoo etc use them ? No, you'd have to be out of your mind to do that.
Bah, ignorant mail admins bother me just as much as stupid mail admins who continually send me warning messages about how my email to them was bounced because it contained a virus (if you don't get that you shouldn't be admining a mail server)./end rant
Maybe you could bring a thruster with you to place in orbit once you get there and use that to get back to earth. Sure the first voyage will need to use some sort of engine to slow it down when it arrives but after that all the rest of the voyages are a free lunch, so to speak.
I don't know what kind of machine you are running but we have SA running on it's own machine, serving two mail servers. It handles over 300K messages a day with network tests enabled, and the standard scan time is sub 1 second.
If you are going to be running SA with any kind of volume you need to keep in mind...
1 - Run a local DNS caching server. dnscache works well, give it lot's of memory to play with
2 - Rsync and run as many of the RBL's locally as you can.
3 - Set the max number of children that SA is allowed to spawn, on our hardware that number is about 12.
4 - Lot's of memory! Depending on the number of max children, you might want 1 gig or even 2 gigs of memory
5 - Off load SA on to it's own dedicated machine, so if need be you can easily inject another server using hardware or dns round robin load sharing.
I don't know what kind of volume the Uni was handling but with 20 machines I think I could easily handle upwards of 20 million deliveries per day.
I replaced my WET11 with a second WRT54G with *modified firmware*. The Sveasoft Linksys build allows the router to run in AP or Client mode. Haven't tested it yet but I'll be giving it a shot later.
I believe ClamAV was the first virus scanner to pick it up and because they couldn't find any others that had picked it up and named it, they called it "Worm.SCO.A". Gotta like Open Source.
Oh, and I've blocked over 3000 copies of the worm in the last few hours with clamav.

Well, my mother is still using her Pentium 133 with, I believe, 32 megs of ram. She's a little low on disk space because my brother installed Linux on the same drive in another partition way back when he was still living at home, I wonder what version of the kernel is on there. She uses it almost daily for email and web with no real problems.
I personally have (I may not be using at the moment) a Matrox Millenium Circa 1996ish with the memory expansion daughterboard, our original case for the first computer we bought for our ISP back in 1993 (I think it would withstand a nuclear holocaust, they built em well back then), a multitude of old external GVC 28.8's and one 9600 external GVC circa I dunno when, maybe 1989 - 1990 ish from running my old BBS.
Found a box of old "double sided" Apple ][ disks a few weeks ago, you know, the ones you used a hole punch on to make them double sided, before the move, but I trashed those. Those were circa 1983-84 or so.
25 years or Life + 10, which ever comes first. If you want more, make it a trade secret.
If you are writing a book or lyrics, then that is more than enough. Anything after that is just stiffiling forward progress and allowing the major corps to limit the amount of similar material to exist.
Examples - Winne the Pooh - 1915 or so? Disney now has a strangle hold on that. Tarzan ? I'm thinking Disney again. Ohh Mounties? Let's pay a fee to Disney to use them in a TV show.

Interesting idea although I doubt it. But it would be a sure fire way of getting access to 100's or even 100,000's of email servers that support smtp auth.
I'm just glad that ClamAV was updated before any of the other major virus utils and all my users are happily oblivious to this and other viruses.
From my reading, it seems that there are 200 or so IP's that it does try to contact, so it might be passing that information along. I'll keep that in mind next time one of our users apparently starts spamming.

While I don't know my actual boot times since it's remote, but my Slack 8.1 mail server is back up in 27.3 seconds after issuing a shutdown -r now command. That includes the termination of services, warm restart with bios check and disk check (the bios is set to auto) plus what ever else the bios does like mem check etc.

That's a fair enough response, but stuff like that should still be found on your dev testing and if not then through QA testing.
If you aren't doing QA testing, well.....

Funny, I can't think of a place that doesn't accept debit cards. Even Pizza delivery and taxi's accept them here.

Actually mirror 1 is running thttpd with a throttle. It's not /.'d.
If you notice the main page comes up just fine, but the download speed doesn't come anywhere near the speed of the main page.
If people let others download first, then it would speed up for everyone.
I'll look into adding a Max Users to speed it up for those who get a connection.
