I have found that using OSCache works better than anything I could build myself. It caches jsp snippets, whole pages and has support for distributed systems. Not affiliated, just a happy user. www.opensymphony.com/oscache
Interestingly, is fire alive? It takes energy from its environment, maintains its own order and wants to grow in size. And it can, as long as there is food.
What I don't understand is why Netsol didn't offer an unlimited option? All they've done is make the renewal period 100 years, you still have to renew after that period. It's a long period but does not make a difference.
It makes business sense of course, but that's not my argument.
For customers of Netsol a contract in which the domain is automatically renewed every year until the contract is cancelled, would make much more sense and is in fact how it's done in other parts of the world.
It's too bad Maarten has stopped developing Pepper. I bought a license and have been a very happy user of his program since. The fact that his serial algorythm got cracked has something to do with him quitting? What you mean, you only got cracked ONCE?
What you do is change the algorythm and change it to something stronger. And stop wasting your time on platforms nobody cares about, and focus on the platform that your users are on. You know, the ones that bring in the money?
If he had put some more effort into Pepper 4 and charged an upgrade fee I would have purchased it instantly. For me, Pepper is the ultimate text-editor and I fear the moment when I upgrade to Jaguar, since that's when I'll have to install a different editor. What now? I need a small, fast and cheap (gui!) text editor!
So much for one-person efforts I guess. A real shame.
Actually there is/was a bug in Mozilla that would allow XFree86 to crash entirely. All it took was a rediculously large font size in a normal web page and presto!

I've visited their site a couple of times. First of all it's incredibly, in-cre-di-bly slow. They didn't do *anything* to make the webserver/site go fast.
Second, they use frames. And tables. And flash. And JavaScript. And img.src. And CSS. And lots of browser-specific stuff. Basically they designed it for IE5/NS4 and Pentium II or equivalent. Big mistake.
Because when people can't reach your website, they won't register. When people don't register, they don't buy. And when people don't buy you have no income. Simple as that.
The fact that boo.com is no more has nothing to do with any cracks in any e-commerce bubble. The fact is that boo.com was a bad site.
The lesson to learn? Don't use the latest and greatest in browser technology. Don't force flash, Javascript or anything fancy. Don't open any fscking new window. Keep it simple and FAST and your visitors will thank you in the form of visits and purchases.

I have to disagree. True, there is no direct feedback for one's actions. But I have been a postmaster for 4 years and every single time someone ignorant abuses my systems, or sends me spam, I take the time to write that person and tell him/her that it's not appreciated. In all cases, the reply is the same. "Gosh -- I didn't know. I'm very, very sorry".
I'm not seeing myself as a good samaritan, cop, vigilante or leader, all I'm saying is there are plenty people who take the time to point out someone's unwanted behaviour. It is a very real part of someone becoming familiar with the Internet. I'm sure you've had e-mails from friendly postmasters yourself in the past.
Needless to say I don't try to educate spammers or abusers myself. But they can be educated, corrected if you will, too, by upstream providers cancelling their accounts or BlackHole'ing their networks. I hope, and am almost sure, that as the Internet grows, more people will educate their newbie peers.
I would not use RAID for the problem you're describing. You're most probably better off splitting the box into several others.
For example, try using a fallback mailhost for outgoing mail (fallback_mx in Sendmail). That way messages that cannot be delivered within a couple of seconds are relayed to the fallback server, keeping your outqueue clean and tidy.
For incoming mail, use a different server, or if you can, use several. You could just put them all in the MX list of your domain, with the same priority. This does wonders.
It might be smart to look at the mailbox format. Some mailbox formats (MBX) have much better performance than others. And you could put POP3 and IMAP on a third server.
All this is much preferable to simply installing a RAID array, IMO, based on the information you presented.
That's a whole other discusssion (one that has been held on/. a while ago). And it's so typical for U.S. people to declaim their system the "better one".
If you want to earn lots and lots of money, apply for a job at WorldOnline, CMG or Cap Gemini. They'll pay you fl 5k/month in the blink of an eye.
But if you're into Linux, Open Source and free software, you might want to look for a job at a smaller company (or even start your own). The salary will be less, but the job more interesting.
In Holland, you can expect at least fl. 3500 (before taxes) per month if you're fresh out of shool. That's about $1750. Getting a cellphone and notebook is usually no problem.
If you start working at a big company, you can expect fl 5000 (US$ 2500) per month plus a company car. But you'd have to conform to that company (might be hard for die-hard geeks - they tend to love Microsoft).
If you're thirty (-something) and have lots of experience, and don't mind working hard, fl 8500 or more is usually no problem. In Holland, that kind of salary will buy you anything you want. It's about 3 times average.
Big management positions (IT, IS, ITIL management) start at fl 150k/year plus all the usual bonusses.
Remember that healthcare is standard and LOTS cheaper than in the US (that goes for all European countries).
Most salaries grow 10% per year, but this can vary as well. 20% increases are starting to become more common.
Salaries are lower in remote parts of the country (provinces like Limburg or Friesland).
And there's the occasional bonus, some companies will give you up to fl 20.000,- (before taxes) (US$ 10,000) if you stay with them for a year. But those companies are often quite clueless (they think Windows NT is the *only* server OS in the world. And your job will most probably doing VB/ASP stuff, so you don't want that anyway;).
Suddenly, this teacher would lose her job for not doing anything after such an obvious threat
Obvious threat? You gotta be kidding. What this kid wrote is not a threat. It's a story. Story, fiction, ring a bell? It's not true. Some people are just too paranoid for their own good.
In Holland, KPN Telecom has trademarked the phrase 'Het Net'. Meaning: The Net. Yes, 'Het Net' is an ISP.
They have won a lawsuit about this too. Not because they're right, but because they have virtually unlimited funds and more lawyers than some people have hairs on their head...
On a side note: they have also trademarked their company color (the most ugly green you've ever seen) and gotten away with it. No company in Benelux can ever paint their vans that color any more. Sad, but true.

So either they've taken it out or it's for US customers only.
