    Debian och FreeBSD?

    Generally speaking, MySQL has been faster on Linux than on FreeBSD. However, you can get quite a speed improvement by compiling MySQL 4.x with Linux threads. Specifically, check out the WITH_LINUXTHREADS option for /usr/ports/databases/mysql40-server/. If you search Google, you should be able to...

    Code editor - recommendation??

    No, no...vim w/syntax coloring _or_ nano w/syntax coloring. I tested BBedit, but I just can't justify the cost. SubEthaEdit is pretty good and it's free. Same thing with mi and jedit. I use nano most often though and vi whenI don't have nano. - G!mpy

    AT&T and my web server

    There are several hosting companies that offer collocation services for reasonable $$$. You provide the server and they provide power, ethernet, and minimal support (typically for just the power/ethernet :) ).

    Do you believe in aliens?

    Do I believe that aliens have visited Earth? Maybe...but not likely. Do I beileve that there are other living organisms in the universe? Of course there is. If Earth is the only planet with life, that's an sad waste of 'space'. :) - G!mpy

    Ding-Dong the Witch is dead!! IE no more!

    Eh...IE was the first thing I trashed when I got my PowerBook. I couldn't empty the trash fast enough. - G!mpy

    To buy a powerbook or not to buy a powerbook, that’s the question.

    I have a 12" PB and I love it. I use it as my primary machine, but I don't do much video/audio editing. I do work with photographs a bit, but I don't use Photoshop...I use GraphicConverter and iPhoto as they have met my needs so far and they came with it. :) I do have quite a bit of experience...

    The Yin and Yang of Computing

    I have the blessing (or curse) of using many different OS's all the time. I have a 12" PB G4 that I use as my primary personal computer. At work, my workstation is a P3 450 w/384M RAM running NT4.0. I maintain our FreeBSD and RedHat machines, but I also do work on NT4.0 and Win2k servers (and...

    how much $ exactly is the goal???...

    DSL? That's mildly amusing. :) macosx.com is hosted with DigitalCrowd (digitalcrowd.com). But wait, DigitalCrowd's founder is Scott William. Is that the same Scott that runs the board? 65.204.248.113 (macosx.com's IP) is owned by UUNet (Alter.Net/WorldCom) so they either host with someone that...

    New ads? Not cool

    There are many, many solutions for getting a forum to "pay for itself" so to speak. None are perfect. Pro's and con's for each. Popups don't really cut it since many people will/can just block 'em resulting in no $$$ for the site. Large ads pay more than small ads. I have seen some sites go the...

    New ads? Not cool

    What aren't you suprised about? :) Inquiring minds want to know... - G!mpy

    New ads? Not cool

    Sure, ads are annoying, but something/someone has to pay the bills. So, if ads can keep me from being the one paying, I'm all for it. At least there's not popups. Are there? I wouldn't know since I block 'em. 8^) - G!mpy
