I'd like to move to Mars. Getting away from the government and megacorps would be good with me.
Do you actually think the major corporations will stay on Earth? Just like what was said in 'Fight Club': It will be the corporations that colonize space. So don't worry, there will be a brand new Hilton Hotel waiting for you when you arrive on Mars.
Those of us who left would probably be the intelligent ones.
Yeah right. Knowing our luck, all the smart ones will die off leaving the gene pool about the same as a packed Walmart on Friday night (what a sight that is).
I personally don't do drugs (scared of needles), drink (hate the taste of alchohol), smoke (allergic to tobacco smoke) or gamble (inefficient). .. or have sex (dick too small).
You must be the most boring person on the planet. Turn off your computer and, like your subject line says, 'get out' and live a little.
How about all the trolls get together and throw a big kegger?
I bet those guys could party the slashdot staff into a ditch. Even though all the testosterone buildup might cause an explosion.. unless there's a culture of females trolls I dont know about..
What does CPU resources have to do with this? You must of replied to the wrong thread. I'm talking about the TCP stack on the NT machine. Dishing out static content is more I/O intense, not CPU.
Good point, though. You can better handle a large is _IF_ you know what you are doing. Kinda goes without saying. Too bad MS support have us 0 help.
And this is not just anti-MS rhetoric. Don't know where you pulled that from. I was talking about an experience I personally had. It just happens to be with NT. No FUD there.
Well, kiddo, to get into details, that million+ a day site I was refering to had mostly files of very large size. Like a FTP site. Like the Quake3 site.
Your high hitting site might only have very small files or responses. Yeah, the connections are short and sweet. The TCP stack recovers. It's able to take it. But with long persistent connections the sockets stay open longer. The stack runs outta room. Bam, the stack crashes. You get 'Connection Refused' until it recovers.
We contacted MS on this. They gave us nothing to help us. We moved to Solaris and it works great now.

WebSite Pro, eh? I'm getting 'Connection Refused' errors at times, though. This does not point to a problem with the web server. It's the OS. We had this problem with NT. The TCP stack is a pile of shit. 3 million hit a day web site had this problem. We put them on a Solaris box with Apache and it took the beating and didn't cry to mommy.
Anyways, if you're company is running a promo, tell your ISP well before it happens. I work for one and can tell you about the many times where the number if hits go from 2000/day to 50+/sec for a site and we have to rush and configure the system to handle the load. I don't mind rushing around too much, but before that happens, your company looks bad.
This might be a great product for web development, but does the application server perform well under heavy load on Linux? What cpu/memory resources does it require?
I heard it requires 128 megs in memeory due to the fact the software emulates the NT registry. This is supposed to be fixed in 4.5, though. (Is this true?)

I just tried it with a few peoples hotmail accounts I know and IT DOES SEEM TO WORK.
Make sure nothing important is on hotmail.
Wow.. this is scary.
Before we start going ape on Microsoft (I'll be the last one to defend them, though), has anyone actually used the crack and got it to work?
