40-50 watts does seem quite high -- however I have been sifting the web a bit and found a 25 watt server configuration: http://www.kanonbra.com/index.php/projects/low-power-web-server I think I might try building something based on this. The only problem is getting a pci cable modem, which would...

I have a Siemens router which runs a (limited) ftp server. I have been thinking of setting up a home server, the only thing is I'm not sure what hardware to get. (What I want is one of those really low-energy consumption devices). This would likewise be under GNU/Linux though.

C is probably the best language for an OS, since it is can then be translated to ASM for you. (Unix, Linux, HURD, Solaris, even Window$ I think are written in C, earlier OSs were commonly written in ASM.) The only thing is C is quite a horrible language (a.k.a. low-level), which means you have...

I am currently modifying firefox in actual fact. It involves a "bug" with the password manager... With firefox it is true that plugins *can* slow the browser down: you do have to watch out what you install. On the other hand plugins such as noscript speed the browser up, massively.

Do you need a server as such to compile though? You could cross compile e.g. from a desktop (would take ages, but still better than a server being down). But yes, I do understand the compiling on the server now. I also never realised you compiled here from scratch.

If you're on the starka server: as has been posted, the server is "down". (What I don't understand is why apache is being compiled on a live server...)

I would disagree here: Languages such as PHP and ASP still produce html output, which search engine spiders read fine (I don't know about cold fusion, but ASP and PP are server side languages). Most modern pages are "dynamic", without their being problems. What you should try to do though is set...

Silly me, I just noticed the server alerts, and was going to edit my post...

The same thing is happening right now: ping works fine, but my page isn't loading, and only the cpanel login page is loading, when trying to login I don't get any more data from the server.

I doubt that would be, since he can copy them in Afghanistan legally, however to bring them in to the US the copies would probably have to have been made in compliance with US copyright laws, since seen from US legal view the copies are illegal. They are only legal in Afghanistan. I'm no legal...

If you read my post you'll notice that for other works, not by a single author (thus meaning works made by a legal person, not a natural person, which means groups etc, also anonymous authors), it's 50 years in the uk, but 120 in the usa (years since publication that is). (We know the Americans...

As said before: if the copyright has run out, then you are free to do what you want. But, copyright tends to run out 70 years after the authors death for single author works, and 50+ years (UK: 50, America a ridiculous 120) for corporate and the like works. in western countries. There are also...

I shun websites with flash since flash is extremely annoying (doesn't integrate properly with your browser, can't save passwords, no proper bookmarking, looks horrible etc. -- web sites should run mainly server side instead of offloading things to the user, and effects are much more efficient...

What instructions? What sort of site? Any more details?

I just wasn't sure since the problems had lasted from roughly 12pm until 5pm ECT (maybe even later?), which suggests someone had been majorly abusing the server. It is fine now though.

Just a (wee) bit exaggerated? Anyway, here are mine: Toshiba Portege R100 laptop with: 15inch LCD (1024x768) 1Ghz Pentium M 756Mb PC2700 Ram 40GB HD (1..8" hd with ide: absolutely hellish to find a replacement for it) Trident XP4m32 graphics. Ubuntu 8.04 with KDE3.5

All day today the starka server seems to have been having problems (sometimes pages not loading, sometimes errors, but ping always working). I just checked on cpanel, and cpu use is at 16.18 (with a red exclamation mark denoting problem next to this). Is someone running some really cpu-intensive...

It might be worth mentioning that this only works if you have a dns caching daemon installed, and many using linux don't have such a daemon, and therefore no dns caching, thus not needing to flush dns in the first place. A second note is the fact that you might have to wait for whatever dns...

You probably have to read through all the lines beforehand first before you can read the line you want. Alternatively you can use a random access file object (I know there's something like this for java), but they are completely unaware of lines, so you need to know from exactly which byte you...

By the time programmers are routinely going to be able to program multi-threaded programs you'll probably have changed your computer quite a few times though. Progress on multi-threading for desktop applications (i.e. what most people run) is limited, and what exactly is all this processing...
