Gore, many pc's will run that long. Only common failures I noticed are harddisks, videocards, psu's and fans. Mostly because they run to hot or contain mechanical parts.
My home made pc from 1989...

Zone Alarm, has given me nothing as troubles in the past, on win 2k machines it crashes the box, it slows down applications, and some versions of zone alarm are not completly secure cause they load...

Another common thing: check if the motherboard isn't making contact (short-circuit) with the case! It is possible that by installing or removing the sound card the mobo now touches somewhere a metal...

With that kind of problems:

always first check the cheapest and most evident parts. Like cables, connectors, etc... is everything sitting on the right place, didn't hit anything by accident.

A little late, superb Deb
congratulations

Indeed, Barcelona performance was awful, even 11 against 10 players... :(
Ronaldinho was only a shadow of the best world class player he's said to be. Okay, the three times he did something good...

I second that

The first and most easy but important method is 'usage'. Alfa and Beta testers (intenral and external) will discover much of the bugs in the software including certain security problems.

Next...

lol, it still is funny to see that people get a lot of problems because they do not understand the forum where they are asking such a question. It proves that context is a very important thing when...

Yep, the same goes for the insecure pop3 mail passwords... ethereal...

Little thoughts by all this, in no way to 'attack' but something to think about.

Why did "Katrina" was so powerfull? Part of it due to coincidence, but also a big part due to the global warming....

There are a few methods to try to change the password when you don't know the QSECOFR password or when the account got disabled. The easiest way is when there is a duplicate profile of QSECOFR with...

Ok, this clears up a lot.

- About the cpu, that was a misunderstanding you mean an Athlon 3400, so it's a S754 or S939 based cpu running at 2400mhz stockspeed... ok that's a decent choice, even...

I agree, writting down and keeping the note in your wallet is asking for problems... what if the wallet is lost / stolen?

IMHO a better concept is to combine things to make passwords.
For...

I strongly advice to build computers for yourself first, next consider the complete picture when you sell computers to others, first think that you need to work out some garantee agreement, otherwise...

hmmm... normaly the old boxes RAID5 combo's are no different from a new RAID5, I have an old RAID5 server running with hotplug 2.1 GB SCSI disks, this thing sounds like a jet too :) You can hear...

Yep the original problem from Mishka is from 11-11-2003, I don't think that someone keeps his or her router down for a year and a half ;)

The cool thing is that the same concept works for different contexts (AES, HT,...), the particular problem spoken of in the paper is therefor not unique in his approach but in use and that makes it...

About the power hungry boxes... I experienced that a 300w rated psu from a mid market brand (aopen) wasn't enough to power up an AMD64 2800+, with 1 SATA hdd, 1 DVD rom, 1 120mm fan and 512M DDR, VGA...

Imagine this software in combination with SLI, for instance dual 6800GT's...

hmmm... ugh

A certain batch of the IBM deskstar series is indeed known for their early failures.
But Quantum, probably only the latest when they already made the Maxtor ones (I have had several...

I hope they will, I do not run Fedora myself so I can't test it by now. Next week I'm going to change a few boxes overhere (2 new mobo's, cpu's, mem, hdds comming this way :) ) So perhaps I will try...
