I must say... what a Christmas. Linux AND celiac's? I think I just might explode from geeky overload...or maybe I'm just having a gluten attack.

As simple as not eating grains?
I have celiac's and I can't have dairy, corn, most meats, and I know PLENTY of other people who have seen ADDITIONAL food intolerances crop up over the years.
I think raising funding for it is a great idea. There are so many people out there who have no clue that, just as you said, grains really aren't good for any of us.

Believe it or not, some of us actually prefer the feel, texture, and overall appearance of a BOOK. eBooks are nice and all but even when they're printed, they're no where near the same.
I will admit: seeing all these Bargain Book stores around Ann Arbor and Lansing, MI selling Borders property for $.25 a piece really has quadrupled my book collection. I may die before I ever get a chance to read all of them. :)

Submission + - Hacker artist embraces open source for inspiration (bbc.co.uk)
supaneko writes: "Computer terminals at a gritty internet cafe in New York City's Chinatown were taken over last week by digital artist Evan Roth in order to debut his internet-based art. Scores of art enthusiasts flocked to Mr Roth's "speed show", an art exhibition format that is specifically geared toward displaying artwork hosted on websites.
To hold a speed show, an artist will rent time on terminals at an internet cafe, many times amidst a sea of teenage gamers, and pull up webpages containing his or her artwork on a cluster of monitors. Mr Roth spread the word about his speed show, called When We were Kings, through Twitter only days before the event.
"I like taking these ideas that come from open source development. In this case, the hack isn't programming code but altering it to your own meaning," Roth says."

I'm guessing that the massive drop in profit is because there's less terrorists flying now. Looks like the cancer machines have worked! Thank you, TSA. Thank you for protecting the children and saving the rest of us from the freedom loathing "terrists."

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.....

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).

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.
Best Solution For HA and Network Load Balancing? 298
supaneko writes "I am working with a non-profit that will eventually host a massive online self-help archive and community (using FTP and HTTP services). We are expecting 1,000+ unique visitors / day. I know that having only one server to serve this number of people is not a great idea, so I began to look into clusters. After a bit of reading I determined that I am looking for high availability, in case of hardware fault, and network load balancing, which 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 seem overly complicated. But is this truly the case? What have you all done for clustering solutions that worked out well? What key features should I be aware for successful cluster setup (hubs, wiring, hardware, software, same servers across the board, etc.)?"
