My SAN uses more power than all my servers together...
MTBF is irrelevant if the MTBF is much higher than the expected lifetime of the server... All our server failures have either been after max. 1/2 year (production fault) or after the end of the expected lifetime (wich is 5 years for a PC server). I do however have running servers (IBM PCServer 325, Compaq ProLiant 2500 and some DEC) wich are over 10 years old... but they don't do servers that way any longer, do they ?
Temperature of a transistor decreses whenever a transistor does not do any work, even without power throttlening, ACPI, etc...
the majority were people who do not have a problem with gays and not gays. You are probably the only one here who didn't get it.
You refered to the holy book yourself by mentioning sin.
the Bible learns us a lot of very important things, hatered is not one of these things. Your way of interpreting the Bible is no better than the way fundamentalist muslims interprete the Koran. These misinterpretations are btw. sins, read your Bible (or Koran) if you don't belive me.
...it is naturally wrong, there is no reproduction, and therefore, no gene transfer and therefore no reason for life... What you are saying is that we should not have sex if we do not want to have children ? It is quite correct that this was the orginal purpose for sex from natures viewpoint but we have evolved...

Does this even make sense anymore? What about all the people who watch BBC news or Al-Jazerra on satelite TV / digital cable? Those networks are not designed for a war situation and are easy controlled (or blown away). Internet on the other hand is designed as a military network and the primary goal for its design was fully automatic rerouting if any part of the network got blown away.

I don't see bank robbers and child molesters running around making guilds or having parades... Probably because:
what they do is against the law and they can't get out in public with it
they are not proud of what they are
If you're going to live a lifestyle that is against nature, sinful and basically sick to the majority of the world then keep it to yourself and you won't have problems. the same books you are refering also tells you that people are not allowed to judge this, it is Gods business....and homosexuality is known behaviour among other species on this planet so it is not unnatural....and why do you think you are "the majority" ?
I sleep with girls and I'm a guy... If you really need to remind yourself of it, you probably are a gay who do not have the courage to accept it.

No, I'm not gay... I would however love to have a pair of good tits.
It sounds to me more like you're simply an old advocate of RMS, since what you're saying here is his worldview, pretty much word for word.
The only things I know about RMS is what is in the GPL.
If you have read MS EULA, Adobe EULA or (allmost) any other commercial EULA you should know that they are much more restrictive than the GPL.
My post was only about Linus' right to choose the license he prefere. Every time Linus says something in public there is a big discussion about it... Last time it was "Linus prefere to use KDE" wich ended as "Linus says: Use KDE" then there were "Linus uses a PowerMac"... I say "Go recompile your kernel (if you are allowed to do it;-) ) and let people choose what they like".
...was not food and not freedom... the key was education and information. Giving people food fixes the problem for a short time, they will be hungry again in a week, giving them tools nessesary for groving their own food fixes the problem permanently. Starting with the children is a very smart move, they learn quicker and do not have the limitations (and bad habits) their parents has learned from their parents... I do however still not understand why mr. Negroponte don't want to sell these laptops on the free market, it would give the project both a competent user base and a much larger developer base.
FOSS, GNU and Linux is about the right to choose, a right wich is very limited outside the FOSS community. This right is both the end users right to choose what s/he like and the developers right to develop what s/he likes and release it under the license s/he likes. I can't see why Linus should not have the right to choose the licens under wich he will release his code.

I am probably just an old idealist but so is RMS.
...but given that Windows Vista and Windows Longhorn Server are going to be the most significant releases of Windows in the last five years or so... I have heard this BS every fucking time MS released a new update (latest SP2 for XP)... why should we belive this after 20 years of lies ? (well, ok, maybe not lies... just promises)
Didn't you tell us (in another thread) that you weren't a geek ? You have more kitchen gadgets than I have USB gadgets... you are a kitchen geek;-)
You need more kitchen ? we can arrange for that too... it is no big deal to move (or remove) a wall... in 3 days you can have a bigger kitchen (and a smaller living room).
Btw. computers these days can be really small... if you can find a place for a 15" TFT monitor (hanging on the wall or a door) then you can find room for a computer too...

"A PC does not belong in my kitchen." We can fix that problem: buy a Mac, a SUN or a DEC (now HP) Alpha. The only reason I don't want a computer in my kitchen is the problem with cleaning it.
"Gee, I thought all you geeks cooked using the heat sinks from your computers." I was in fact thinking about making a coffee maker powered by a Intel P4 Extreme Edition. Then there was a story on slashdot about CPUs and cooking... and even if this story wasn't here I probably would have dropped the idea: a normal coffee maker uses 3 times the power of a PC (and the industrial coffe maker I use, uses 2400 W) so I would die of thirst long before getting my "Intel coffee".

...why is the software business not treated that way ?
Microsoft had two or three possibilities for fixing the security problems in Windows and we are still seeing security issues that are 10 years old... ...and the reason for allmost all of these security issues can be isolated to a simple "it would cost to much to fix"...

...not been a requirement for approval of software for Windows ? and will this be a requirement in the future (preferably on XP and a must on Vista) ? Why can software get a Windows logo without obeying the basic security of the OS ? I suppose that you are aware that the only reason for people to run as admin are applications (third part, but some MS-apps. has also been seen) that require admin. right without ANY real technical reason (marketing and lazyness are not technical reasons).

24x365.25 is less smartass than 24x7x365.
My servers do usually not live for more than 5 years so using higher precision will not change anything.
...servers run 24x365.25 no need for ACPI here.
