"they maintained their equipment and things just worked"
This is not true, the admin of the netcom network was fired for not doing his job. The servers were litterally falling appart when we took over. This is what the current admin says...
Yeah, that's them. I work for MSPG and got this in an email today: >2. Church of Scientology principles are deeply ingrained in Earthlink's >organization. Sky Dayton is a practicing member of Scientology. However in all the time I've known him it has never come up, or manifested itself in any way. When he started the company, several of the early hires at Earthlink were his friends, some of whom were also Scientologists. Garry Betty is not a Scientologist, and the company in no way espouses any particular belief as a company. You will assuredly find many more Protestants, Catholics, and Jews at EarthLink than Scientologists, and no corporate culture ingrained with anything but healthy diversity. As I recall, in the early days of MindSpring we seemed to have an undue number of Pagans on our early staff (recall Greenman and company). Now we were in no way ingrained as a company with Pagan beliefs (even if naked pictures were being taken in the offices). At MindSpring, we pride ourselves on diversity- it's about time we got a few Scientologists in the mix (and any we already have here out of the closet.) The MindSpring diversity motto is "a cage for every animal in the zoo". Welcome to the new animals.

I seem to remember a certian Walnut Creek FTP server running FreeBSD on a single CPU in a single box holding the world's record for the most bandwidth used in a single day.
Didnt it take 27 NT boxes to equal the same thing?

"In the aftermath of the massacre, the police seized Carneal's computer and determined he was a consumer of violent video games. According to the complaint, Carneal was influenced by the violence in Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake, Final Fantasy 7, Resident Evil, Redneck Rampage, the Mechwarrior series and Nightmare Creatures"
Now, Ive played TONNS of FFVII, and I thought it was the most enjoyable, non-violence orientated (sp?) game I've ever played. If not THE best game of all time.
I think those parents just grabbed copies of every game the kid had and decided to sue those people.
Is MechWarrior violence to humans? I thought it was 40 tonn mech vs 40 tonn mech... I have not played in a long time though.
I play a LOT of Quake and other 3d shooters... I have never thought it would be cool to gib some one with the rail gun in real life.
