So when should we expect to see a post on dice jobs for new slashdot server admins. Of all the sites to go down for something like this, Slashdot is the last one I expected.

Send me an email and I'll send you a resume and set up your back end properly. Sheesh

I was going to post nearly the same thing. The other side of Virtualmin is once you have your packages and configs set up the way you want, simply click the backup server button and get a .tgz you can apply to any other virtualmin server and you'll have the exact same config every time. Tweak the options you want and a simple 3 click vhost is set up and cloned.

I still have a copy of windows 2000 RC2 for alpha from MSDN. Got the MIPS and PPC versions too. Keep it around just in case I ever pick up another DEC board.

It always seemed wrong that out of order execution was more efficient than in order. I'll have to read up on it more. You'd think that the results coming in out of order would mess things up.

What you want for that is btsync

The sound of an old rotating ditto machine. And the associated smell. ohhh. that smell...

Yah, I worked at an ISP back then and it when customers would complain that they were getting a slow connection, I'd have them hold the phone up to the modem speaker and try to connect so I could hear it and determine the connection speed and protocol. The BONG! mentioned above pegs it as a 56k modem string :) v.90 i believe.

I think the thing being missed here is that people are in a hurry. If I can fly a 747 from Seattle to Japan and the flight takes 14 hours, I would pay more to be able to do it in 7. That's an easy choice. Time spent in the air is generally wasted time. Turn trans-Pacific/Atlantic into a weekend trip instead of the current 3 days of travel time and there's a market for it.

The futuristic prediction that it would be economical to take a sub-orbital flight from NY to LA is probably not going to happen, but for trans oceanic and/or China/Japan to Europe. Definitely a market there.

I guess you just don't have any idea how hard it is to re-encode everything upside down do you? That's not free you know.

Works fine in Japan. Look up the FLETS system.

I live in Alaska. Never heard it uttered here. Strange.

I don't know about you, but I plan to live forever. Or die trying.

Sorry, but I've never heard "get fucked" uttered by someone from the USA. You appear to be an Aussie, mate.

I don't know about calling the library, but when I was a kid, we'd call 411 and ask questions. They were called "information".

It would seem that all of their sets are based on the original set plans which were designed for the 4:3 aspect ratio. Trying to shoot in a widescreen format would likely show parts of the set which weren't intended. I mean, check out how much of that bridge set is open plywood. That set requires some strictly framed shots to work right.
