I know this is a windows solution however I'm running two w2k advanced servers and have one on site one off site at my home.
They are clustered. First created with a 100mb crossover link. Then moved one offsite with a modem link between them (direct modem to modem). AS the files don't change much there is not a lot of traffic. (1 file in 3 days maybe).
There is also software link doubletake and surviveIT for the corporate world.
I'm on the Australian Optus @ Home and they just recently (two weeks ago) bought the Australian interest away from Excite. No down time at all.
What about selling the news Feeds?

How many sites get a news feed from here to post the headlines on their site? Could/. charge a subscription to those or vice-versa those news feeds that appear in the boxes on/. (Linux Games, Sci-Fi News) could they not charge to have hose available?
Even more annoying was that in the Muslim community here in sydney there were some tasteless people dancing in the Streets and celebrating. (Some of us were not impressed)
The SMH Has an article on this at http://www.smh.com.au/news/0109/12/world/world35.h tml Quote: The Iraqi commentator said that "the explosions at the heart of United States power, in particular the Pentagon, represent a painful slap in the face to American politicians to direct them to put an end to their illegitimate hegemony and their attempts to impose their authority over peoples."
I am currently developing a web site to teach theology over the internet.
This covers audio of lectures, class notes and readings - amongst a dozen other functions.
We chose to base everything so that a HTML 3.2 broswer would ben able to display the pages. It is not pretty but is passable. From there we optimised for IE 5.5 as most of our users had that as their preferred browser.
At the end of the day It came down to what did the bulk of users have, (Primary choice) and how could we accomodate future users in our industry and target market (Secondary Choice).
These two choices are where you decide on backward compatibility. We could have gone right the way back to creating a text only version of our site but I have better things to be doing than that. If a significant number of users wanted that then thats a different matter.
I've worked for a number of different colleges and universities in Australia as an IT Lecturer and the same policy has always been in force - THE INSTITUTION OWNS ALL ASSIGNMENTS. The student has no rights to publish, distribute or even reuse assignments or derivitive works. There are no requirements for students to receive royalties and on enrollment a student waives all rights not specifically mentioned on the enrollment over their assignments.
its a hard life but....
I bought one of these things and found it was great except between conflicts between the HP Dialer and the MS Dialer. They were both tempermental where one would work then stop and the other would work and stop and so on and so forth. I gave up on it when I found i couldn't FDISK the thing and reinstall the o/s. (Most MS Problems are caused by the vendor not the user)
For me the most interesting thing is the way people are tying trade marks to domains.
I work for a Management Consultant company looking at expanding into Internet Consultancy. We were just briefed by specialist IT lawyers in Aust to trademark ALL domain names to prevent Brand Erosion. With disputes over domain names going to court overhere and the fact that it is harder to buy a domain off (you have to buy the underlying business as well) a company or individual, trademareking a domain name has been seen as a short-cut to legally acquiring a domain name that was previously unavailable.
I like Shakespear best - wasn't it something like lets kill all the lawyers?
One of the main PR points that I have seen for the PS2 is that it will be backwards compatable with the original PSX. I don't know about Nitendo but I remember that Sega's Megadrive System (I believe in the US it was called Genisus) had the ability through a special adapter cartridge of playing all the previous Master System games. AFAIK these adapters were a flop.
For the launch of the PS2 most developers are not going to release PS2 versions of their new games, focusing on the PSX standard so as to capture both markets. This reminds me almost of the Commodore C=64 and C=128D (Remember these things before the Amigas). Consumers thought why buy the 128 when everything is written for the 64?
I find it interesting that they refer to the Linux version of Fdisk and not insert disk one of your 9x setup disks and boot to the command prompt then type in fdisk using the MS version or the version on Disk One of NT 4 Setup.
I wonder if Win2K will release a migration tool from unix like they did with Novell and NT4 Server?
One day a group of scientists got together and decided that man had come a long way and no longer needed God. So they picked one scientist to go and tell Him that they were done with Him. The scientist walked up to God and said, "God, we've decided that we no longer need you. We're to the point that we can clone people and do many miraculous things, so why don't you just go on and get lost." God listened very patiently and kindly to the man. After the scientist was done talking, God said, "Very well, how about this? Let's say we have a man-making contest." To which the scientist replied, "Okay, great!" But God added, "Now, we're going to do this just like I did back in the old days with Adam." The scientist said, "Sure, no problem" and bent down and grabbed himself a handful of dirt. God looked at him and said, "No, no. You go get your own dirt!"
Would it not be cool to add the new features from the R100 to the AiBO? (Sorry but i think the AiBO is cuter and i don't want no pesky 'bot telling me i have been K-lined for flooding)

In summary, the Australian Performing Rights Association took OzEmail to court because OzEmail refused to pay for a license fee to APRA, at the rate of $1 per subscriber per annum, for allowing the downloading of music over the Internet. APRA represents the interest of artists and is responsible for the collection and distribution of royalties to them for 'performances' of their works. They hold that an ISP is allowing the transmission of a work and therefore should pay a license fee for such.
This case was settled out of court with Ozemail not accepting liability. Here is the settlement. APRA agreed to cease the action in the Federal Court on the following terms: A payment by OzEmail on behalf of the industry to be made on 30 June 1998. Each party agreed to meet their own costs There was no admission of liability by OzEmail Limited APRA would not sue any other ISP in Australia, which joins in the settlement agreement. OzEmail, the Internet Industry Association and APRA would work together to advise the government on the appropriate form of new legislation covering their copyright which recognises that those who make available content through the Internet are responsible for the copyright liability of any material they make available. The parties agree that it be clearly enshrined in the legislation that ISPs are not liable for material they host or which passes through their services. OzEmail makes available on a regular basis information regarding the hosting of sound files, which may assist APRA, with due regard to the privacy of customers and obligations under the IIA Code and the Telecommunications Act. OzEmail will use their best endeavours to have other IIA members provide information to assist APRA in protecting the intellectual property of their members. OzEmail's terms and conditions reflect the responsibility of content providers to ensure they do not make available material for which they do not have authorisation from the copyright holder. Should no legislation be enacted by 30 June 1999 the parties agree to renegotiate in good faith
The obligations outlined to ISP's in that meeting were that once a valid warrant had been issued, ISP's were obligated to Nb>capture all the packets entering and leaving a users account. Those packets would then be turned over to the Police force whose responsibility it would be to decode them. The ISP would not have to decrypt or de-encode them only capture them as they went from the router to the modem.
These cases were in the prosecuting of Child Porn offenders.
After the resounding win by the DOJ against Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), the 180 online states (IE ALL 50 US states, Canada, Australia et. al.) in conjunction with Yahoo is now filling a patent enfringement suit against all Microsoft, Linux and Cold Fusion developers.
Under a bizarre ruling by the we-have-no-idea-what-we-are-doing court of "International Waters" an old precedent has determined that the actual webmasters and developers of Web Sites (patent pending) for breaching Yahoo's Patent.
If this suit is upheld, everybody will have to pay a licensing fee to Yahoo for every page that uses scripting, server side includes or anything that could be determined as creating either an image or graphic, html (or derived technological form of text) or combination of both.
A spokesperson from Yahoo was unavailable for comment however Bill Schiggly from the Patent Office has this to say "I bet you wish you thought of it first hey".
Former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates had this to say "As pointed out in the case made against us, freedom to innovate was what was on trial not our products or the inclusion of our products into the Windows operating system.

This subscription model once licensed will be available in Windows 2002 as poart of the standard EULA and CAL"

What are the country equivalent (2nd leel domains)?
.com.au the UK and NZ are co.uk and co.nz respectively.
In Oz we have
Will this mean that we might have info.au and in.uk or inf.nv ?
What about bi.uk or bi.nz what does that say?

In the last half of 1998, We had a similar case. Here is an extract that is available on the IIA (Internet Industry Association)

The full offer to Australian ISP's is at http://www.iia.net.au/news/apra.html
At an IIA meeting in Sydney Australia around March or April, there were a couple of speakers from the NS W Police Service - Child Protection Enforcement Agency.
The obligations outlined to ISP's in that meeting were that once a valid warrant had been issued, ISP's were obligated to Nb>capture all the packets entering and leaving a users account. Those packets would then be turned over to the Police force whose responsibility it would be to decode them. The ISP would not have to decrypt or de-encode them only capture them as they went from the router to the modem.
