I hosted with JohnCompanies and they were great! Linux and FreeBSD only, either virtual private servers or dedicated boxes, or colo your own, and real Unix admins for support if you need it.
They also offer discounts if you're hosting an open source-related, non-profit, or educational site!
The only reason I left them is that a client allows me to colocate my own servers in his cage for free... if that deal ever goes away, I'm switching back to JohnCompanies in a heartbeat.
FWIW, I used TunaRez and was very happy with the results. They are tech-savvy and publisht their prices up-front so there's no wondering what each function they provide will cost you.
Isn't LPI changing their requirements in a few months? This book will be out of date then. Maybe it will be cheaper then, and I'm sure it will cover a good portion of the "new" stuff as well.
According to a totally reliable intarweb chatboard I heard about at work, the island is Purgatory, they're all already dead, and the mystery hatch leads to heaven.
Now you don't have to worry about missing it anymore.:)
I had a real Erector Set, with the metal plates, mini girders, a whole pile of nuts, bolts, and screws to assemble it with, etc. The coolest part - the DC electric motor and battery clip you could use, with some string and pulleys (also included), to power a car, run a crane up and down, etc. That was an *awesome* toy...
I found some for sale (and lots of other cool stuff there too BTW), might have to get some for under the tree this year...

Actually, my first attempt at a knowledgebase system (in 1982 on a PDP-11/70 with RSTS/E and Extended BASIC) was a project for my high school geology class. After inputting characteristics about a mineral on the uber-l33t VT100 (or the even uber-l33t3r LA-36 36cps unidirectional 9-pin console printer!), including it's Moh's hardness rating, the app was supposed to tell you what it might be.
Sure you have a wife... and she's Morgan Fairchild, right? Yeah, that's the ticket... and you can force her to do anything, yeah, right... 'cuz wife's are so easily forced to do anything...
At the end of the meeting, he said there were a couple of Zope books coming out this fall. Not sure if they'll be the same caliber as the Dive Into... book, but it's a start.
The presentation he gave should be on the SDOSS website soon... and as an aside, they primarily use Debian for their servers, desktops, etc.
A la MPAA/RIAA/etc, a perfectly legit technology is used for illegal purposes by an idiot. So let's pass some laws to make GPS ownership by unlicensed individuals illegal.
Or maybe an annual, renewable license to use the device, but the device remains the property of Garmin, etc. <anti-*AA rant/>
Several congress critters have done just that, and from what I understand, there will be international observers here... I read it a couple of days ago on one of the media sites like CNN or something.
Not sure how many there will be, where they will be, what they are going to do, what authority they will have, etc.
Note - I'm in California, and have already requested my absentee ballot. I did use the touchscreen systems in the primary - they seem to work ok - but I am definitely against the idea of 'lectronic voting.
Like someone else posted above, the main reason we seem all fired up about using a touchscreen is that it will enable vote tabulating faster, so that we don't have to wait as long to find out who won.
Personally, I'm fine with waiting a day or two (if it even took that long) to do it the way Canada et al. handle it... X in a box on a piece of paper, fold it up, and drop it in a box. Then when all votes are in at that particular center/precinct/whatever, open up the box in front of whoever wants to watch, count the votes out in front of everyone (ok, maybe use a spreadsheet or other "manual" tallying system), then call the county offices on the phone and tell them the numbers (ok, maybe email it in or something).

So bogus eminent domain seizure is the missing second step in the "1. do something, 2. ???, 3. profit!" process??
I guess if you're a local government anyway...

Hey, isn't that a story line from Big?

For the overclocked CPUs, store the liquid coolant in a Klein bottle... and use Moebius cables to connect all the components.
That would be so r4d d00d!
600 billion GHz... right? :) (I'm obviously not an EE geek either)
And will that CPU dissipate 1.21 jiggawatts of power?

The San Diego Open Source Software Assoc/Linux Users Group just had the architect of the local paper's website in to give a Python/Zope/Plone talk.
At the end of the meeting, he said there were a couple of Zope books coming out this fall. Not sure if they'll be the same caliber as the Dive Into... book, but it's a start.

That's all there is to it.
unlike the Washington Post, where I seem to have to re-identify myself as a 55 year old woman in Afghanistan every other day
So it's you who keeps stealing my identity! Now I understand why I am having so many problems trying to read my news all the time...
A pox on you!
