I have tried using the Britannica site a few times in the past, and I just tried again now. It isn't very good, is it? I mean sure maybe it's all accurate, but on Wikipedia I find what I am looking for within a few minutes, mostly within seconds. Once you get there, the pages are relatively easy to read.
Go on, have a look at Britannica.com... Tell me what you think... What do you think most non-geeks will go back to, Wikipedia or Britannica?
Personally, I run OpenWRT (http://openwrt.ksilebo.net/) on my WRT54G. In my opinion, it is better, and my contact with the developers so far on IRC has been wonderfull.
Check it out, and a WRT54G (or the WRT54GS) is a nice investment, even if it was just for its geekyness:-)
Have you never heard of Multi threading? On a WorkStation, I would agree with you, but on any server with thread optimised applications, more threads = more power...
Once again, People think WorkStation, for things not designed for the WorkStation market
Whoa, I hope that in 10 years, this can grow me a tail!
Honestly, I'd love to have one of those functional ones, you can use to pick things up etc..
Or other things in the bedroom...
Let the tail games begin!
Perspective

Hardened PHP

I think it is funny how most/. readers demonstrate how they think from a user perspective, and not from an admin perspective.
Now don't get me wrong, I understand, it's *hard* to think as an admin if you have never *been* one. But when you are an admin on a machine, you don't think "My users will just have to learn how to code secure, then there is no problem." Sorry folks, just ain't gonna happen! Joe home who wrote a site just to show off his holliday pictures thinks its swell how easy php is, and he doesn't really care about becoming fluent in php, as long as his little enviroment runs!
Sure, you can try and educate your user, but if you maintain a 500+ user server, security is in YOUR hands. only ONE of your users need make an error, and the whole machine might go down. And the "poor coding is the only reason for security holes" just doesnt cut it there.
Harden your servers, admins. Make the internet a fun place to be.
And you actually beleave that ? Try smoking a sigarette in a restaurant Or drinking a beer in front of a police station Or flipping a cop the bird Or smoking a joint near cops Or...
You do that, and *then* tell me you can do what the F*** you want...
Don't kid yourself. You are not free. The only freedom u have, the only freedom any of us have, is the choice to accept responsibility for our actions.

Lets use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI SI units, shall we? 40 Gigagrams of uranium.
PS: I couldn’t figure out how to create proper links, and I am too tired to keep on looking...

Very expensive, yes.
I am really not a fan of firefox, but this it does right. The original author did not put in a lot of research nor a lot of thought.
For once, it has been read, and was appreciated :)
/. won't accept this, so here:

If you want more info. look here:

or try us on irc:

I Know, but the office uses a CheckPoint1 VPN server. So I'll have to hastle them to change some settings.
It is a core system, very basic. On top of that you can install what you want with ipkg's.
:)
I have running:
SSHd
trafic shaping with iptroute2+tc
custome firewall script
no-ip client
tcpdump
network syslogd
It doesn't run a webinterface (yes, to me that is an advantage.)
Next on the agenda: vpn client to the office. ( so I am always connected from home.)
serial interface so the nids can give instructions to the WRT.
This is exactly what I need, from a 12watt machine (the WRT uses 12V DC, 1A) that makes 0 noice (no moving parts)
And above all, it is a shiny fun geektoy

I do not know if the following is applicable, as their site is down, but as it is based on python? ..
I refuse to even consider ANY language that is whitespace sensitive
Haha, cool, I didn't knew there where other people who put E.E. Doc Smith up there !
I re-read the skylark of space series about once a year (still missing most of the lensman series, sadly), and I still love every line of it.
Especially that 4th dimention thing, still boggles me ^^
Sun JAVA Desktop ...
The JAVA is but a name...
There are hardly any java apps to be found in it
trust me, I know.
I have been playing with mad hatter (SJD codename) since beta 10.
From my experience, its a nice windows replacement for non-powerusers.
It looks nice, it navigates like windows, and yeah, even your grandmother could install it!
But it was *never* meant to apeal to the power user. If you are a linux geek, stick to what u know/like.
If, on the other hand, your dad, or sister or such wants out of windows, this might be a good option.
But then again, at a 100$/year per seat (last i heard anyway) it really is aimed at the corporate world.
So you should judge it as that, not as "a linux distro, for linux people"
My work (sun sys admin) brings me in close contact with sun people
They all replied the same.
"Not that I heard of, and it seriously surprise me if we did."
Maybe sun is planning on entering opteron based system, nect to the x86 based V60 and V65, but replacing their sparc systems with opteron systems ?
Doubt it.

America is one of the least free places in the western world!
And yet, they feel they have to help the rest of the world be free...
Americans shout words they dont know the meaning of
When will they come off their ego trip, and realise they are just an enslaved population, following their governments every whim ?
he used to send mails about hot girls

no, jokes aside, i wonder if an ex spammer WOULD use spam to promote his own new shiny bussiness
so what do i do on a kernel without module support ?
i never enable module support on servers

or google for "kevin mitnick trial"
there never was a trial
read it, and note WHEN he went to jail
and WHEN he plea barganed his way out
he was NEVER convicted
his case was never taken to court

apparently, in the us, thats only a theory
u stand by your words ?
fine, i stand by mine

i dont want a lot of different scripting languages on my system
