I'll amen that vomit, the webserver that I'm running (at a friend's house due to the lack of ANYTHING faster than 56k, while he has
T3) only cost $800 in equipment so far (approximately comperable to my desktop machine minus the 3d power right this second, and a
million times more stable due to the lack of Windows), Of course, the monitor is a 9"thing I had stashed in the basement, but who
cares. $800 for 30 gigs of whatever the hell I want to use it for as opposed to $850 for 50 megs of FTP. HRMMMMMMMMM

NOBODY can guarautee against data corruption without lying. Anything can happen. I could back up this news message to 900000000
different drives and theres a small, yet still present risk that they would all go corrupt or otherwise become unusable. Backing up
to two seperate drives on the same computer, or even on two computers on the same power network is not safe. Even if both have
quintuiple power surge/spike protectors, all five of those could easily be fried and resultingly destroy all the electronic
equipment at the other end (worst case, but still possible)

I was checking the NG's in Outlook Express and fired up AW into standalone mode (via skip button) to go do some theoretical changes
to one of my builds. After hopping through my various AlphaWorld teleports, I found the one I wanted and wandered around a little
bit. No midis, no MP3s, no wavs. Just normal building and lighting. Was about 5 minutes before EVERYTHING I tried doing gave me a
not enough memory error, which means I was using 1256mb of RAM (1000 meg swap and 256 physical). I wasn't doing anything out of the
ordinary, and only other programs running were ICQ, AIM, Motherboard Monitor 5 and the Creative Live! Ware programs. However, since
these were idling in their normal configuration, it's unlikely that they were the cause of this mess. I couldn't get access to
exactly what my available resources were at that time, couldn't load the program. I have reproduced it one more time, and still
cannot get the exact specs. Somthing's happening, it's not just a fluke. RAM is 100% functional even though it's brand new (cute
little in-use lights :) More specific things, such as the coords I teleported between and the messages I viewed in Outlook are
available upon request.
