2013/4/10-5/18 [Politics/Domestic/Crime] UID:54651 Activity:nil | 4/10 Is it just me, or it seems really ironic that a bunch of iconic
monopolists in the Guilded Age funded a bunch of academic institutions
through their philanthropies and those institutions later on produced
famous academics that are highly critical of their benefactors
and attack the ideals on which those monopolists based their
philosophy on?

in a printer daemon to get "daemon privileges," which allowed them

2008/12/10-16 [Computer/HW/CPU, Computer/HW/Drives] UID:52220 Activity:moderate | 12/9 Another idea for the CSUA that lets you spend money and maybe get some
cool toys. Instead of buying a beefy server (like say, a massive server
with 20 386DX processors), buy a few cheap machines (like the ones
mentioned below) that have good disks and work on failover / load
balancing. A netscaler or other piece of hardware is complete overkill,
but maybe hacking an OpenBSD box could do the trick. The idea is that
