Good site on it. I love these things. http://aceraspirerevo.com/

If you're doing VPN or tunneling, you need the RAM and CPU performance a device like this offers. I've crushed Linksys routers with low VPN loading and tunneling use. Something like this would possibly be useful for caching or lite server duty with an external drive.

I'm getting rather sick of reading posts along the lines of "it doesn't work," "it'll never work," and "you need to have one work for the other." In 2006-2007, I tried deploying an IPv4-based TINC setup on my office computers. However, to maintain this, you needed a computer at each of the bigger sites, and smaller systems tied to a common system: I had over 100 nodes chained together like this. By summer 2007, it was unsustainable: I had already been researching IPv6, and decided to start implementing it as a solution for accessing things like Intranet, VNC, and remote file systems. By the end of 2007, I had more or less eliminated the IPv4 chains with a setup of our sites using NAT'd IPv4 in the 192.168-whatever range, and individual IPv6 subnets for each site, tied together by an ethernet-based TINC install on OpenWRT routers. It has worked above and beyond my expectations: we can use regular Internet; we can use IPv6 global and internal resources. If it doesn't support v6 out of the box, chances are it works with "portproxy" fine. With a transition to newer Linux systems and Vista/2008 Windows systems, it becomes more streamlined. You can't avoid v6: its all around you. I believe in it and I've made it work.

Something online actually worked for me. I've been on OKCupid for the last 5 years, and I've made friends on there both dating or otherwise: in fact I met my male co-worker of two years on there (known him 4-5); my current g/f; and my old g/f, who turned out to live with a bunch of geeks I still live with 2 years later. In the last year a few of the local geeks have held meetups as well: usually to play board games and consume pot-luck items.

I've used Avast Pro with ADNM at work for the last 2 years now without a hitch: replaced this god-awful Norton setup that was expired and poorly maintained. As long as the clients are installed with our internal DNS name for the AV server, they get updated and we get a running inventory of all our Windows machines. The machines I expect to get hit the most, I use Ubuntu on: hard to load malware from Myspace or some offhand foreign site.

This is a story from one Murdoch news source, citing another (The Australian). Same thing as the New York Post citing the Times of London.

I've especially ran into issues with DDR2 sticks in that they may not use the default 1.8/1.9V setting on most systems, but require 2.0-2.3V to operate: especially if they're "high-performance" memory meant to run at 1066 speed. Default timings also can be an issue with speed levels programmed into the chips as well: you can check for this issue by setting the RAM to run at 1 or 2 speeds lower (say DDR2-800 running with a 333mhz clock (DDR2-667) instead of 400mhz.

For one of the original users of Slashdot to dive into this Libertarian troll-tank and defend his work, it should be respected and not dwarfed by conspiracy theories. Put this at the top, then let people rant on about the end of their liberties.
