I was mistaken, I read somewhere that the first release of Mac OS X did not come with bash. It is also not available on the OS X computers in our lab here.
Not trying to be a troll, just pointing out that OS X comes with perfectly good backup software.
Tar and bzip2 come with Mac OS X, it wouldn't be that hard to script automated full and incremental backups. I do not believe that all OS X come with bash, however they at least come with tcsh. Here are a couple of simple examples.
#!/bin/sh #example of full backup date > timestamp tar jcf home-full.tar.bz2/home/
#!/bin/sh #example of incremental backup lastbackup=`cat timestamp` date > timestamp tar jc --newer $lastbackup -f home-weekly.tar.bz2/home/
Tar alone can recover past a damaged point it will 'read' past the erroneous data, and recover your data. I believe cpio exhibits the same behavior. It is when you compress the archive (with.gz or bz2) it may become unrecoverable. If you use tar alone however, you will always be able to recover some of the data in a damaged archive.
Our LUG has a monthly LAN party. We picked a LAN game that was easy enough for everyone in the group to afford: Unreal Game Of The Year -- Retail $10.00 at our local Wal-Mart. We temporarily store it on lab computers as necessary, and remove it after the game is over.
We require everyone present to have a licensed copy to play. Most people bring in their own boxes, and each have their own copy.
I suppose it depends on whether the players are using College property or their own personal property to play the game. It is in no way infringing for a group of people to bring in their own personal computer along with their own licensed copy of the game to have a gathering.
Check the license agreement, for example you don't need a licensed "standalone" game server for Unreal Tournament. The standalone server is publicly licensed, because nobody is using it as a client.
It does sound like a really bad case of head crash. I don't know how easy it would be to replace a bad head, esp. if the arm broke off completely and got lodged.
Even if the top one is the one that failed, it would be difficult to recover a readable form of the filesystem. "Rigging" it out of the way wouldn't allow you to read the cylinders of the whole disk.
You don't have anything to lose, if it's already screwed. You couldn't screw it up any worse than it already is by freezing it. I don't think I would try and heat it though as a previous poster suggested.
Anonymous reviews have no credibility. For example, there is a Dr. of Psychology here at my shool who is doing a study on the value of a rating system on sites like http://www.ratemyprofessor.com. I am not sure what her stance is on the topic, but most others at the school feel that it would be easy to sabotage her study. Movie studio representatives have been caught giving reviews of their films under false identities. So is it surprising that authors would not stoop to the same level as those who produce movies?
There is no way to ensure that a College Professor cannot go to ratemyprofessor.com and give a review of him or herself (it is all anonymous). In the same way there is no way to prevent authors from giving anonymous reviews of their work to boost sales. It is my not so humble opinion that openly anonymous forums lack credibility in this sense.
You may be able to get it working with isapnptools, or alsaconfig. If that doesn't work, you probably need to specify interrupt and port in your init scripts.
Init scripts can serve more purposes than just restarting. You can stop and start services with some init scripts. They are an important part of System Administration no matter how often you reboot.
If I were an open-source zealot, who wrote Windows worms. I would have made the source available for the public and included a copy of the GPL along with the MyDoom worm. After all we can't have Windows virii floating around laden with software bugs, can we?
Therefore it could not have been an open-source zealot who wrote the worm as the article on BBC implies.
Third track off of Siamese Dream. I had the album, and wanted to compare the CD quality to compressed quality. I had a 14.4 modem and a 100 Mhz machine, and downloaded it using mirc. Played the song with winamp.
What really happened:
The debian security memo is dated today December 1. The bug was fixed and released in the kernel on November 28. Wow, isn't Linux great? The developers have the problem fixed before it is even officially announced...
...We interrupt this senseless posting for an important news flash. Kernel developer extraordinaire, Linus Torvalds discovers time travel. After reading Debian's security announcement, Linus accidentally discovers time travel. He thinks to himself, 'well since I am already here I might as well release a new kernel and fix that integer overflow in the brk system call'. Two days later, debian announces the fix on the debian-security-announce mailing list...
We will now continue this unfounded rambling...
I read the article, can't anyone take a joke?
I have Kylix 3 running on a non-supported distribution (Slackware 9.1) no problem. Works great. I know a few students in our Math department that don't even use the Kylix development environment they just use the dcc compiler that comes with the package. Really this is all you need, a good editor and a compiler. What more do you need than Emacs and dcc? So the question is why can't you get Kylix running on your distribution?
I do like some of the features such as code completion. It comes in very handy when using complex pointer adjustments.
Maybe what he said could be justified, because RedHat is caught up with SCO's actions against Linux. Perhaps he is saying something to protect end users from the FUD. Maybe it is not an issue of functionality.
Case in point: Is it not one of RedHat's goals to have ease-of-use built into their distribution? I would think that if any of the Linux Distributions were ready for the desktop it would be RedHat. Don't take that as a statement to spark debate about what is wrong with their software or what distribution does this 'n' that better. I believe RedHat has a lot of talented people and do a terrific job of putting it all together in an easy to use package.
With all of that said, whether you agree with me or not about "ease of use". I agree that it could be a justification for dropping desktop support. But it could just be good marketing to avoid ugliness with SCO. I mean is it good for them to sell X number of copies to home users, have a great boom in sales or just number of users for that matter. Then hypothetically 60% of those consumers are watching the 11 o'clock news on channel XYZ and they hear SCO is suing Linux end users. That would be a marketing nightmare and a great deal of market share could be lost. Therefore it would be better to say Linux isn't ready for the desktop, but may be ready in a few more years. Wait until it stops raining, before you get on the road.
Not only is hemp illegal in the U.S., also anything derived from hemp, the seeds (where the bio-oil is taken from), stems, leaves or flowers. Not for sure, but I think this has been overturned in some states (Kentucky).

If you compile /proc/config support in the 2.6 kernel you can
/proc/config.gz > /path/to/2.6.x/.config`
`zcat
You have your old config in place, I used it to upgrade from 2.6.1 to 2.6.2 very handy indeed.
I thought debian was still using the 2.2 tree :)

No, you are mistaken. They are the "Keep your hands off my guns!" party. The "keep your hands off my rights" party are the libertarians.
