We need to get serious about other options, to bring the amount of stuff up as they are today, a Space Elevator would be far more appropriate: Space Elevator - can I get a witness?
I don't like this, and I can't imagine how this makes the astronauts feel! I think I'd be jumping ship to the international space station and wait for the next ride home... I'm sure this is just a case of NASA being over cautious, cause you know if this has happened now, it's happened countless times to past missions with nary an issue (save for that foamy thing)
Never trust the so called "reviews" on places like Amazon. Look for a gernerally positive review, with one small critisism, and it's likely an ebedded ad. Someone associated with the company/product paid to "pump up" enthusiasm. Somewhat more believeable is the Music reviews, but as for any products, don't believe the hype.
I am leaning towards things like Ajax for my future web devel. Look at the way 'Google Sugest' or even the spellcheck in Gmail works; it's feels like it's a desktop app, there's no pausing to download a plugin or anything. Bringing more of a desktop response to web apps is going to be where it's at in the future, and I think Ajax is the one to watch.
Sorry, but I see that guy's name everytime there's a Mozilla mention. Oh, and congrats to the developers that are porting to Mozilla; it will be a great day when *any* web user can use all webapps.

Excellent, I'm going to call them later today then. I appreciate your comments. So when will we be using VoIP solely through an SSH tunnel?;)

Anyone have experience or opinion on Speakeasy's VoIP service? They claim it all takes place inside their 'private network', but is it really safe? As an alternative to the bells it's very attractive, plus it's less expensive. It would be handled through my DSL, which I get from them, and it hasn't been down since we got it in feb of this year.
"order" a bunch of free cds from Ubuntu - once you get em bring them in, pile 10-15 on your desk at work, watch ppl come up and ask what they are. I've gotten 3 ppl to install Linux at home with em in 2 weeks.
I've got more cds, and the packaging includes a live cd, install cd, and nice artwork; it's quite a package.
Ubuntu will run nicely on that machine. If Gnome feels too bloated on it, run Xfce and you'll be amazed at the full desktop you'll have, plus the speed. Of course I'd just use Openbox on it if it were me, and that would be a fine box for web/email.
Also, with Gentoo you can do the install from stage 3, taking the apps straight from CD. It'd just a little longer than installing other distros, plus you'd have a system more tailored to your system.
But just install Ubuntu, then add BUM *boot up manager* and strip out the startup apps you don't need (postfix, cupds, etc)
I still do not understand the lack of more video RAM - this sucks because you can't take advantage of the 'Quartz Extreme', which whil it is some annyoning marketing, is *much* more reponsive on a PowerMac. That, plus the lack of screen Res of 1280x keeps me with my 2 year old 12.1" iBook - until I find a Thinkpad to run Linux.
I've run my own mail/web server in house with a static IP for 4 years. Up until 6 months ago it was always Linux (Slackware, Debian and then Gentoo) but I've now switched it to FreeBSD. The main motivation was choice; althought I was fine and comfy with Linux (and it did all I needed) I choose to switch. Now I've learned a new way to do (most) things, and learned how *BSD works.
I've recently updated to 6.0 (SNAP004) - and am now helping with OSS that run on FreeBSD (HULA) as most dev work is done on Linux. Linux is backing up the server just in case, but I'm having fun again.
Easy/cheap solution if you don't have too much to backup, do an rsync over ssh to a remote box, like one at your house. The only gotcha is you need to exchange SSH keys between the boxes, but I think this is an acceptable risk, as someone would need physical access to the file to do anything, and then they'd be in. I've been backing up my things like this, albeit not online, it stays within my home network, just mirrors to another box - so it's not true DR - but if I wanted to I could simply do it to another box in another state. A sample script:
/me peeks under desk/me peeks in boardroom/me peeks in pr department/me peeks in noc
Hmmm...for a company of 12,000, I sure wish I knew where they hid all these Macs! Seriously though, I wish this were the case, and perhaps it is...somewhere, but I haven't seen it in the last 4 places I've worked (I'm a contrator).
Anyone with more sightings? Are they replacing desktops (/me hopes) or are the Xserves going to take off? (/me doubtful)
Ah, but all joking aside, shock treatment is nothing like the "One Flew Over The Coocoos Nest". I have a friend who went though the procedure after being hospilized for a week, and the change was dramatic. After 12 treatments (each lasting about 20 mins) over two months, they were a different person. If you're hitting bottom, something like this 'jump starts' your mood again, to where meds can maintain you, whereas meds would take much longer.
Thus I think an implant would be idea. The only downside of the treatment was some short term memory loss, but that was a small price to pay. Oh, and it's a very gently 'shock' and not one that the patient feels under soft sedation.
like back in my tech days, anytime a user had an issue in windows I'd come over and take a look, "Hmmm...when did you install these screensavers?" Fast fwd to today, Ubuntu/Synatpic, and you never have problems adding things. Sorry, sir, thanks for the FUD, please drive through.
with them moving to new chips, I can just hear all the 'why now?' comments, but let me throw out an idea; Linux. Buy one, throw Ubuntu Linux and see what a useable/futureproof laptop. I still feel Linux runs on iBooks better than OS X, as is testimate by my 2 yr old iBook dual booting (with e17-pre it looks nicer on the Linux side!)
So the hardware isn't going to be outdated anytime soon, and with the speeds they're reaching now, who wants to burn more battery?
You have to be on mailing lists so you know as soon as a sec update is out. Being on BugTrac and SecFocus is recommended too, but AT LEAST be on lists for daeons or things like this you're running!
Sounds great, I've been looking at putting the tarpit in the mix, and I believe it's in ports for FreeBSD - I just always get confused when I see spamd, since I already have those processes via Spamassasin! My firewall is OpenBSD, but I don't want to run anything on that but that, so I would like to implement la brea, or spamd on FreeBSD. Any hints or howtos you used?
Thanks for your reply, again, this isn't that hard - now only if companies would see the value in people like us taking this approach, and not just using the 'install wizard' on an nt box and assume that will address the problem. From what I've learned running my own email server, I'd actually love to do it fulltime and just be a sysadmin for a companies mail server. (yeah, I'm weird like that, but hey, someone has to do it!)
All ClamAV definitions are updated via cron by Freshclam, all Spamassasin rules are updated via Rules_du_jour daily. Using this I get just about zero spam, with a VERY rare occurance of realy mail being labelled spam (and that's usually bad chain-emails sent around by my wife's friends - and I consider that spam anyway;)). Seriously, I'm no genius, but why can't this kind of solution be bolted on? Even if a company is locked into Exchange, slap a box like this accepting:25, then have it relay mail on after the checks!
I fail to see why a solution like this can't be implemented on a large scale 'free-mail' company like Hotmail or Yahoo! If they could stop (and eventually block) spams, they could help turn the tables on spammers, making them less profitable. What am I not seeing?
