[ale] interesting uptime

[Geoffrey]

Just curious, came home to find my system that monitors my cam at the 
garage pretty much locked up.  Turns out, it was just real busy, seems a 
bunch of ants were crawling across the lense and well, you know how ants 
are, one just follows another.

The real point is I just gave it some time, since I could still ping it, 
but couldn't get a login prompt.  When I could get a login prompt, 
uptime showed a system load of 39.63.  I've never seen an load that 
high.  It amazes me the machine didn't just crash.  It's not but a p200 
with 32mb of memory.  The motion detection process eats up approx 95% of 
the cpu when it's running.

I'd like to see any windows machine do that...

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
