The phones that generate the most power and have the best reception are on the "worst" list. Of course it's a tradeoff I suppose. You could always use a can connected to a string if your truly afraid of having your brain fried;)

What do i multiply with ? 1.6 or 2 ? or is it lighter than 70 kg ? I mean if it weighs more than 100 kg then ouch ! I have moved a lot of UPS's in my day (they are heavy as lead...)...

Some of our AIX-servers takes > 15 min to just check all the hardware and then it starts the OS, scans all the buses for devices and so on. But this isn't that bad unless you have some problems requiring a lot of reboots.
I mean, in normal operations you only have to reboot maybe once a year or less. Oh, sorry, this was NT. In that case I guess you really need to tune those reboottimes in case you have to install some critical OS-patched like... Internet explorer for example.:-)
Although I probably will be flamed from some of the crowd here I can't resist saying this;
If this is this data is in any way missioncritical or important for you, then you should use a Unix with proven track-record for this kind of stuff. AIX, Solaris, Tru64, HP-UX whatever. Likewise I would choose a "mature" database. Like Oracle, Informix, Ingres, Sybase, Mimer (here in Sweden).
I think (this is an opinion) that a Linux/Opensource system still is a bit immature (like NT) for this kind of work. It's also a question about hardware reliabiblity on PCs. It takes a while to fsck a non-journaled filesystem.
If your data is worth 100 times the combined hardware + software costs it doesn't feel too bad coughing up some money to get a "real" system.
Remember backups If this system should be up all the time, be sure that whatever you use can (like Oracle) take online backups, but get a fast taperobot. This could easily cost as much as the system.
Of course if you are trying to cut costs, don't use Oracle.
Except for some strange Norwegian words this is more or less correct. Hey ! It's better than BabelYoda ! and bad English is the Official Language of the Internet (maybe I should patent it)
Oslo (28.09.99) - The small company Bellboy International is sitting on a patent concering Internet-bussiness that makes it possible for them to demand licensefees fom all Internetstores in Europe and maybe USA until 2013. With help from lawyers the company will demand money from all of the Internet companies.
Rolf Wilhelmsen have shot the golden bird (strange Noweigian expression ??): 17 of december 1993 he applied for a patent on making realtime transaction and purchases over computernetworks or telephone (!!!). About this time the world wide web and the Mosaicclient was introduced.
But the really slow patent application process only now in 1999 makes it possible for Bellboy to (bjempeflaks ??? dont' know this) but it is possible to patent a method that later becomes very important for many, he claims. Wilhelmsen who started the internet-service www.bulguiden.no, compares his patent with the telephone or the cheese-slicer (what's this in English ???)
He understands that many can have many questions about why Bellboy whishes to take a fee now, many years after the Internet became a success.
- "Maybe people will look upon us as a wolf (Guess it's a Norwegian expression), but we had a good idea and applied for the patent in 1993. I know how importants patents can become. I applied for my first 25 years ago, the Kristiandssand-man says."
He doesnt want to say what kind of fees he wants to try and claim. But only the agreement with Amadeus can give astronomical profits if Bellboy gets some cents in fees on every european fly-passenger to 2013.
To be able to claim the licensefees from Internetshops i Norway and the rest of Europe, Bellboy (is doing something ? IPO ? ) to get six millions crows around Christmas.
-"Now we are looking for money and alliances with real investors, Wilhelmsen says, but don't want to give any names. After what digi.no thinks the finance-celebrity Jan Haudemann Andersen are one of several Bellboy has been in contact with.
The company also needs money for the struggle against different parties in US, Canada and Japan. Bellboy also reapplies for the basis of it's patent - a telephoneorderingsystem for hotels.
You said This may be a slick new RS/6000, but it still runs AIX. This o/s consistently rates below NT in sys admin satisfaction surveys. The truth is it consistently get better ratings than NT. Administration is very simple through SMIT or via a webinterface (written in Java and thus quite slow but nice).
If it's "better" that Sun is a matter of personal preferences, and I'll refrain from quoting any anecdotal stories about my experiences with Sun-machines as this would get me (and rightly so) labeled as a Troll.
So, it's a processor in the Power/PowerPC line but not the same used in Macs and so on. It's a 64 bit processor and not especially good and raw floating point/integer performance. The machine it targeted at LARGE Database operations. So even if the processor is slower than an ordinary Pentium III/Athlon/G4/whatever the system is built for shuffling data. I think I remember bandwith of 5.3 Gb/s in the system bus (maybe higher now). The cpu conects to the bus at the same speed as the processor runs (or maybe half) instead of 100 Mhz as a Pentium II. It's designed for good TPC score instead of good spec-marks. It's got 56 PCI slots, Gigabit ethernet and so on.
It's not for playing quake.
I work at Bull and we sell the same machine basically only relabled (with additional software). Specs on the older (IBM S70) machine called Escala RL are at http://www-frec.bull.com/docs/escalar l470.htm
Linux missionaries saying "I can build a beowulf cluster using celerons that is ceaper and faster" will be solidly *clonked* in the head !
The point is, the moderators seem to think it's flamebait, so by definition it is flamebait. What really sucks is this discussion about moderation of ceratain posts.
Of course, now someone will say that what really sucks is discussions about discussions about moderation. Well that sucks too !
I seem to remember this from an earlier (or later) episode of Star Wars.

"Rapport" the biggest news program in Sweden said something about this just now in their morning report from the the stock exchange in USA.
First they talked about the bubble in Internet companies and then took Red Hat as an example, and said that it rose 30$/hr yesterday. Why ? Because they got two new customers. It's quite clear that this was supposed to be a sarcastic commentary on the Internet Bubble and that the reporter haven't got the faintest what Red Hat really do. It was presented as "Red Hat, a small company that sells service & support". I guess it's true in a way though.
I think I read a SF novel sometime that basically said there were only a fixed amount of music composistions availible and what the main character thought was a original composition was something he had heard in his childhood slightly remixed.
Perhaps this is also the case with good stories/movies. Perhaps all movies could be grouped in 7 (I like the number 7) stories.
Pinocchio/Frankenstein/This new film
Romeo&Juliet/..../....
I don't claim it to be true but it could be an argument against Intellectual Property rights... "Hey, sure I copied this film, but it's a copy of a 6000 year old idea, so it should be Public Domain anyway."

- Buy Soundblaster, tear it down.
- Cut of the cables to the speakers
- Cut off everyones ears
- "The final solution" Kill them ALL !!!
Hurry, we better patent this technology !!!I'm talking about the AIX version of JFS. You manipulate them with aclput/aclget/acledit
This is an informative but short post, gimme Karma now !

I got pens namned Unix. A whole stash of them actually. They aren't very good (they leak). Still wouldn't want a NT pen though.
