What's the lower limit?

What is the point?

I WISH I had 4. I've got 2. ATT (6mb DSL) or Comcast (not much better and I have NEVER had good dealings with Comcast). Same thing in the place I am living now and the place I just left just 7 miles away. BOTH within city limits. I know other people that have only 1 choice, Comcast. This being the 3rd largest city in the state.

I just discovered this looking at the 'new' gmail. I love it! The only downside is that I've gotten used to having everything split between Primary/Social/Promotions. I can probably do without that to get away from all the cartoony BS.

here to save the world again!

I feel the exact opposite. Snowboards, skateboards, wakeboards = yay... ski's etc. = nay.

How about they just sell them for a reasonable price (ie. not equal to or more than physical books) at which point there would be no need for reselling.

You get used to the noise (it just becomes background white noise) after a while. I've got a 48port gb switch that was annoying for a few days but now I don't even notice it anymore. Of course, if you add a few professional grade servers to that after a while it will become hard to hear yourself think but you can get used to quite a lot.

Also.. maybe not so much re-purposed consumer grade desktop machines but server class machines tend to get louder/quieter depending on load due to the fans accommodating for power usage and heat generation so a lower user server will generate less noise overall than a high use machine.

I bet it also doubles as a nice space heater? ;) One of the things people tend to forget about professional grade servers is that they put out a good amount of heat.

I set up a minecraft server at home about a year ago for myself and my gf's son. The nice thing for me was that I could play in 1 perpetual world from both home and work. I wasn't really interested in hosting a server for the public but it was convenient for my purposes.

Like most non-tech users felt going from Office 2003 -> 2007 -> 2010?

Really? Where? Reference? Honestly, I've never heard that parents kicking deadbeat children out of their homes was a serious source of homelessness.
