If filtering is "censorship" then NoCeM is what? You should be complaining about ALL server-side filtering if you want to retain any kind of consistency with your argument.

usenet4all isn't filtering. They aliased out (configured their servers to reject posts which originated from google based on the path header and requested their peers not send them the same) google groups in the name of spam effectively censoring ALL google groups users. It's not a filter, it's a simple configuration option. A very heavy handed one.
They're server, their rules, nothing I say is going to convince them to change their pathetic policies, all I can hope is that maybe there is a slim chance they'll consider the lesser of two evils. Kind of like voting for a talking head, erm, I mean President this fall. And I speak with my wallet, Altopia (alt.net) doesn't do any filtering all unless specifically configured by the user at login. I refuse to use any news provider which practices censorship.
The simple fact of the matter is you're the one recommending the use of censoring cesspools for news servers and I'm speaking out against them.

I don't know what to say about the blogosphere. I have not and don't think I will ever partake in what I believe is a mere fad. Usenet pre-dates the Internet and I suspect it will persevere and post-date the Internet as we know it today. Sorry.

Have two machines configured with RAID, a workstation and a server.
What are you looking for from RAID? Performance? Redundancy? Combination of both? Desktop or server application? How much money you willing to spend? Are you able to build your own systems from scratch?

Is your RAID built into the motherboard or on a PCI card? Is setting up a RAID array a lot like setting up a BIOS? Looks similar to my untrained eye.
- Redundancy.
- Right now when I moved large chunks of data between my internal SATA drives I really can't do anything else like watch CAM training videos because the video and audio drop out to the point of being very annoying. Not sure what causes this.
Maybe both. I'd like to have my blog on my own server.
Not sure but I get paid well. :>)
Yes but I'm no expert. IOW when I go to Fry's Electronics I have no idea how to determine which power supply I really need and what spec is important. I also have no idea how to determine what the real world gains are on the latest processors. Same goes for bus speed. I do know I'm not happy with the performance of my desktop when I try and multi- task but I'm not sure where the bottleneck is.

Not Kellog or Nabisco or Kraft or any of the others?
Coming from a Leftwinger..I figured they were thinking food. They always think about food, drugs or worship of a secular figure smarter then them who knows how to play on their desires.

The nickname came from the sound of the whips they used to herd the cattle.

The term has been around over 100 years. It is part of Florida history, before there were many people, or much government.
