Why do we have to be forced to endure an OS that you have to restart multiple times a day?

Apparently unlike you, I don't have time nor the patience to sit and wait on a system that has to be restarted multiple times a day to make certain that everything is running A-OK.....

Already, Mr. Coward, sir...

Since you seem to be so knowledgeable about what is going here, please, enlighten me as well as the other "slashbots" because honestly, I don't see why this is a criminal matter (except for the obvious reason that this law should clearly be a CIVIL law and NOT a criminal law).

Comment If I post this at the top, will anyone see it? (Score 0, Redundant) 298

First off, I wanted to mention that the 1000 is off by two zeroes. It should read 100,000. Secondly, for those of you who have not provided anything constructive, I give to you the one-fingered salute. It's amazing how much crap and how many assholes exist on this forum. All I wanted was some CONSTRUCTIVE advice and it seems like the majority of what I got was a bunch of bickering and a load of insults. Bleh... But to those who have actually posted some useful comments...I THANK YOU. :) Your insight has been helpful and for the most part, confirmed what I had planned already.

Submission + - Best Solution for HA and Network Load Balancing? (digitalctrl.org)

supaneko writes: "I am working with a non-profit to eventually host a massive online self-help archive and community (using FTP and HTTP services). We are expecting a high number of unique visitors (1000+/day). I know that having only one server to serve this number of people is not a great idea. With that in mind, I began to look into clusters. After a bit of reading, I discovered that I am looking for high availability, in case of hardware fault, and network load balancing, which I assume will allow the load to be shared among the two to six servers that we hope to purchase. What I have not been able to determine is the "perfect" solution that would offer efficiency, ease-of-use, simple maintenance, enjoyable performance, and a notably better experience when compared to other setups. Reading about Windows 2003 Clustering makes the whole process sounds easy while Linux and FreeBSD just seems overly complicated. But is this truly the case? What have you all done for clustering solutions in the past? Free/Net/OpenBSD? Linux? Windows? PC-DOS? What key features should I be aware for successful cluster setup (hubs, wiring, hardware, software, same servers across the board, etc.)?"

Comment Anyone try buying Wii Fit after its release date? (Score 2, Interesting) 763

Generally, you are correct. There was one time for me where this did not hold true. I guess with the fluctuation of the American Dollar, Nintendo is scaling back on their sales of software in the U.S. I was going to pre-order Wii Fit but just as you, I didn't imagine how quickly the game would sell out and for how long. It ended up being a full year before I was able to pick-up the game on the shelves. Every once in a while it would appear on Amazon or Wal-mart.com but there were others with their eyes out and always swiping it up before me. I guess that now when there's a game that I *REALLY want, I may just end up pre-ordering it because there's no telling whether or not the company releasing it will create an artificial shortage as we have all seen Nintendo do.
