And not a single thought about resource usage... how typically american:)
Seriously though, plans like this are pretty ridiculous in the face of oil reserves that are going to last 150 more years at best and will become much more expensive to use long before.
What's my incentive to have my page show up LESS in anyone's search results?!
Saving bandwidth, perhaps? For a hobbyist's website hosted cheaply (and thus having a low transfer limit), it might be quite desirable not to attract too many visitors who aren't actually interested in the site's contents. Of course, that's not a very common scenario, good search engines will give such sites a low priority anyway because they're not linked to very often.
Off the trolley, I'd say. It's a fundamental and unavoidable weakness of packet firewalls that they filter ports, not services. It's completely naive to believe that port 80 will always be harmless HTTP traffic. ANYTHING can run on port 80, and there's nothing you can do against it unless you have absolute control over all machines behind the firewall.
For systems beyond a certain age, this is just a dumb idea, especially on a large scale. You'd get more performance if you invested the time and money necessary to keep them going in a few cheap current systems.
As far as I can tell, popular belief does say that worm and virus programmer are "fiendishly clever hackers", and it's dead wrong. Most of them are amateurs and know barely enough to glue some long-known exploit together with a bit of propagation code.
And it's the same with "manual" intrusions: the biggest problem are not the very few competent black hats, it's the hordes of script kiddies, and those do use mostly older attacks and try out every exploit they know one after another.
Besides, a main point of fingerprinting is attempting to find common elements that will be present even in currently unknown attack forms.
Because it's the market of the future and freedom et al. means jack shit to US politicians while bri^H^H^Hcampaign contributions from big business is everything?
who should use Redhat when time and time again, their website posts vulnerabilities and updates.
Those who need some of the newer features more than they need "total" security and stability.
For the longest time, both BSD and Debian were free of any buffer-overflows or ANY exploits. [...] So now Debian has the honor of being the most secure operating system.
Um... yeah. Can I get some of what you're smoking? Or are you just unable to read: This
point release, revision 2.2r4, mostly includes security updates, along with a few corrections of serious bugs in the stable distribution.
when somebody wants to do *real* development work, then debian is the only viable solution.
Sorry, but in the real world, "total" stability or security is not required for development systems. Being reasonably up to date, however, is.
I can't imagine that something like this is not already available
What you described there is nothing else than the core concepts behind pretty much any recent video codec, such as MPEG (even MPEG 1 did that), Real and Sorenson Quicktime, with varying
degrees of emphasis and sophistication.
If you can have a cd or dvd writer for every camera, then what's the problem
The cost - he asked for a smart way that saves money by taking into account the nature of the task. One DVD/CD writer per camera is the dumb answer that totally fails to take into account the nature of the problem. Especially the question of what happens when a CD/DVD is full: A CD/DVD burner jukebox for each camera would cost insanely much, and human personnel wouldn't be much cheaper (if at all) and error-prone.
The 300KB was before compression - and the 100:1 factor used in the estimate is pretty high. You are right about good compression if the scene doesn't change, but that was not a given. Even then, you have a problem, because what matters are the incidents where the scene DOES change, and you want optimal picture quality then. That means variable bitrate that is automatically adjusted - not easily automated, AFAIK.
As for the original question: (digital) tape libraries are the way to go, I'd say. Maximum write speed depends on the number of drives you have, and if you rarely need read access, you can just buy as many drives as you need to have the necessary write speed. The expensive part is the access robot, and you can probably save there big time because you don't need random access to old tape - a small tape library is sufficient, just take out the old tapes and store them in cabinets.
Only for the "Professional" version, though. Which is considerably more expensive than the "Personal" version, which lacks a lot of more or less important stuff.
And here we are at the heart of the problem: you have no understanding whatsoever of what might have motivated these people, so you just apply a simple label ("crazy jerks") and promote killing all people that fit your label, falsely believing that you are adressing the problem.
Dude, if everytime a face recognition software mistakenly (ever heard of false positives?) or correctly (how many suspected terrorists are there? Hundreds, if you believe the news) recognizes a suspected terrorists all flights in the US were grounded, a ticket from LA to New York would cost about $5,000, probably closer to $%0,000, given the generally high rate of false positives in that kind of software.
Congrats, this is the dumbest comment on this story so far. Go back to your VisualBasic dabbling and leave real programming to people who know that being able to count to a certain number has nothing whatsoever to with having a database that scales to that number of entries - and even less with having a system that enables its users to efficiently work on such a large number of reported issues without overwhelming them.
Learn to read please: 100,000 is the total number of bugs reported on Mozilla ever. Including duplicates, and mostly resolved bugs, often removed before they turned up in a public release. Feature requests are also handled as "bugs". And remember that Mozilla is still considered Beta, as evidenced by the sub-1.0 version number.
Compare this with 65,000 unresolved bugs that W2K had in the final release.
groan No, genius. Learn to read. The number of bugs shows the scalability of the bug tracking system, not of the softare that has the bugs - most of which are resolved anyway.
Sorry, but you are the stupid, cowarddly and bastardy one here. Calls to "face reality" justify nothing. Reality is that indiscriminate killing and application of force is exactly what will start a war far, far worse that was has happened so far. You are playing directly into the hands of whoever planned those attacks that way.
Nobody knows hte future, so don't use baseless prdiction as a justification for choosing the easiest, dumbest "solution" to the situation at hand.
Yeah, terrorism is a daily reality for many other nations. You don't see them use it as an excuse to conveniently declare all values they claim to uphold nil.

Which, of course, slows down the system a godawful lot, since it means one extra disk seek for just about any file access.

Explain to me please how "easy to use" is equivalent to "proprietary".
Why the fuck should there be a difference between the database backend and the Webserver frontend in this regard?

Read before you answer, please. The point was that the CPU might overheat and fry even before the OS has begun booting...

spending all their money on artificial pets rather than, say, anything important.
You don't understand: economy-wise, as long as you do spend, it doesn't matter the least little bit what it's for. That's how consumerism works.
A good frontend for choosing packages that is used by default. dselect sucks rotten ostrich eggs.

Congrats, Mr. coward. You've just proven yourself to be a sicker bastard than guys who hijacked certain planes on tuesday.
