I agree that Linux is not a competitor when it comes to desktop/client/consumer applications. However, I feel it excels with solid server applications; well known stuff like Apache, PHP, FTP, DHCP, email (Qmail/SpamAsassin), Perl/CGI, Java (e.g. Weblogic/Tomcat), etc, etc. I feel more safe running L...

And to think I'm a Linux advocate stuck in a Microsoft shop where management spends $900,000.00 on Commerce Server, which, alone, is costing the company a loss of $400,000.00 per year in opportunity revenue due to how badly it performs (random crashing, random lost sessions, half-baked clustering, e...

Definately.

Sarcasm intended.

Sorry Lothar, I was at work and was pressed for time.

Oh yeah! Duh, Qwest ToS allows you to run servers as long as you purchase a static IP, doh, forgot.

Lothar wrote:you do NOT want a static IP

If you want to run, say, an email server, yes you do, or AOL and Earthlink will drop all messages coming from your SMTP server. You'd also need a valid reverse DNS entry setup.

Verran

I have the same Qwest package, but as a business line, not a residential setup. You can get "basic" internet service and skip the MSN crap. Just tell them you work out of a home office, they don't care. Also, Qwest business services are seperate from their residential services, meaning bet...

President Bush, obviously showing signs of fatigue, was forced to leave the press conference momentarily. The Press, suprised by his quick return, were completely unaware that the White House technicians simply had to swap out batteries.

I went through 3 USB KVM switches. Each one killed off the keyboard repeat rate, making my keyboarding in D2 absolutely worthless... just a note. I got fed up with running back to the store and bought a PS2 KVM. I'm using a USB/PS2 without any problems. However, I have read that some mice won't work...

A KVM switch. I've been happy with Linksys and IOGEAR. You can also share your keyboard and mouse.

I specifically purchased UT2K4 to research just that. Haven't been able to get to it, though, too busy.

My main concern is the networking architecture, and how variable it would be to what D1/2/3 players are used to.

Cool. Yeah, I wrote a test with Cybersource/PaymentTech a day after posting. Talk about easy - took a matter of minutes.

Ever use Commerce Server?

Verran

Can anyone give me some feedback on Microsoft Commerce Server? Good or bad, doesn't matter, looking for unbiased opinions. And, additionally, has anyone had experience writing code for credit card validation though Cybersource or a similiar vendor? Doesn't matter what programming language, VB/C++/C#...

Tip to remove ads: Google is your friend.

I mostly prefer Opera for speed and some minor features Firebird & others don't have (yet).

Love it. Big fan since 4.x.

Powered up... drive was dead, did nothing out of the ordinary. Co-worker did the same. We were pissed.

Verran

Do Not get a Raptor. I did, big mistake - it died 32 days after I purchased it. Luckily the store manager was considerate and let me trade it for a different drive.

A co-worker also bought a Raptor - it died in 35 days.

They're too unstable. Personal experience talking here.

Smoothwall is a pre-setup linux router application. All you have to do is burn the ISO to CD, toss it in the system, boot from CD, and follow the setup instructions. When you're done, you can configure it through a web-based interface like most popular routers (Linksys, etc). I use it and it's grea...

No, the onboard gameport was always disabled throughout my entire ventures with the Audigy 2. Connecting the extension cable is when I turned it on for the first time.

I just finished playing a multiplayer game on Kali, and everything was perfect!

Thanks Admiral. cat /dev/js0 returns "No such device", as does cat /dev/input/js0. Do you think maybe my game port is dead? If so, why does the driver load without errors? Thanks for the help so far everyone.
