Been using crossover for years now. Works great, just a couple of little funky keyboard issues. I actually ssh -X my fedora wine session onto my Sun Workstation. Best of all three worlds.
Why even bother. I just use these to block people from all access (not just the port they were pissing me off on). Very effective, yet only knocks out those up to no good.
Bacteria are for the most part asexual, and although many forms do have the ability to exchange genetic material, for all general purposes they are asexual (and for that matter organisms with plenty of lateral gene flow, even among different forms/species). Asexual organisms should not be used when extrapolating to sexual organisms. Even the definition of species becomes blurred (more than it already is) by asexual organisms (and organisms that have large amounts of lateral gene flow).
Now, insects I study, and their natural histories are highly variable. Some are very isolated sexually although they have huge populations. I catch some flightless wasps that are less than a millimeter in size, and parasitize litter dwelling spider eggs. These guys obviously are not moving their genes beyond my little research site (surrounded by the Potomac and a highway), yet they are quite abundant regionally. Some insects may have the reproductive rate (many do not) necessary for Natural Selection to do its thing, but in many cases they are isolated populations of a rather small size, particularly in cases where reproductive forms are not abundant. Now of course pesticide resistance is a wonderful (well not 'wonderful') example of unnatural selection. Telling stories about the evolution of Prenolepis imparis's (a common US ant) ability to cope with near freezing temperatures is another thing, and this is why NS is such a beast, many of the adaptive traits we see could just be drift, and often they are ancestral traits that evolved under a completely different set of circumstances.
Perhaps in panmictic populations, which in themselves are not likely to exist. Modeling large populations rarely has any application in real life due to unreaslistic assumptions of random mating (besides as a null model).
2003? Top flight? Your impressions on evolution seem very 1920's not 2003. You should read up on modern evolutionary theories. Although it is apparent that natural selection works, it is not something that we find often. The Grants have published some of the only research that could really be considered scientifically documented natural selection, but even then the results are still contested.
FYI: Definition of evolution is change in allele frequencies of a gene pool over time. Drift is the largest contributor to this change. Mutation and natural selection are very very very very very insignificant in most circumstances.
I use fedora 3, on a 3.2ghz amd 32bit system. I have a big sun 4x400 e450 too, but the software I need is not available for solaris. I use codeweavers wine application for windows support, and the media player on fedora works great as well. I only have two sunrays set up in my lab, mostly for the fun of it, and security on the server (all of the data for my dissertation is on it, I dont like the idea of leaving that on my desk, backed up or not).
I wonder if one of the Sun PC cards would not be adequate for windows support rather than citrix. Even running off of a server I would rather not have any MS oses on my network (security is too important for that).
I wish more universities realized how great they were. Not only are they quiet and use little energy, but no more computer labs full of half functional machines, and only to run web browsers...
You can pick up old sunray 1s for 9 bucks on ebay.
B.S. My grandfather was a clerk for the Great Northwestern Railroad and a ham operator for fun. He had equipment dating to the late 19th century and he was far faster than any thumb typist, and faster than most programmers I have seen (why do they all seem to be the worst typists in the world?)
shows up because we are now threatening not only our
own safety but the rest of the galaxy as well.
Chances are, somebody is out there, and chances are this would probably cause them to go 'oh sh!$'.
those 404s are from a server that monitors a website on biodiversity (pictures and information http/biodiversity.georgetown.edu). I send a request to a fake page on my own server whenever somebody hits my production website. The U does not monitor hits on the 'big' server for web developers.

Just call it Formosa. done.
Or something like that. I wonder if this may have something to do with the coziness between sun and MS lately...

Course I dont run windows on my servers.

Lock your box in the basement and use a sunray. 0 sound, little heat.
