Even if you do accept the British and Americans as 'imperialists' - you got to give them credit. All the countries they took over are doing just fine - the commonwealth countries are doing wonderfully compared to the poor blokes that got conquered by the French, Russians or Chinese. Compare North Korea to South Korea - same people, same natural resources but different imperialists.
Portugal did pretty good for her colonies - Spain... not so much.
We're using FreeBSD 7.2 RC2 ZFS in a production environment on Amd64. It's getting hammered, and holding up fine.
1) ZFS has *solved* our storage problems. 2) ZFS needs 2GB of RAM 3) You should run it on a dual core processor if you're going to use compression. 4) Research glabel so you can move drives around from cable to cable and still use the same device name.*
Actually, as Gore pays higher electrical rates to get clean power, those coal plants aren't doing anything on his behalf.
I can almost guarantee you that the construction of those wind turbines released ton of crap into the air, destroyed habitat and polluted the ground water.
Mining the ore Smelting. Fabrication. Transport. Assembly.
Making it wasn't pretty - in addition to the polluting aspects of just the existence of Gore's oversized McMansion and fleet of SUV's and planes.
It's a bitch to setup - but multiple uses who have the calendar plugin for Thunderbird (Mac, Linix, *BSD, Windows) can all edit an ical file on a WebDAV server.
Hints:
Create a blank ical file first and move it to the WebDAV server - don't create the blank file directly with Thunderbird. Test the WebDAV server with Windows Explorer. With WebDAV and a good setup of rsnapshots - you can make your own psudo-Sharepoint that does what most 10-50 person offices really need.
Your email is still on the hard-drive. Your profile got messed up, the the flat files that have all the email is there. You need to find someone who can reattach it to the profile - but it's there.
Make a copy of the whole profile before you go trying to fix it though.
Nothing worse that a bunch of Cat5 cable cut too close that you can't even change the switch out with a different model because the jacks are in different places and the cable is too short. Or the patch panel is flaky and needs to be swaped out, but there's not an inch of slack!
My guess would be the harsher penalties in the US,
It's a difficult topic to discuss, because if one is not carefull - your can sound like a racist.
The simple fact is that a diproportionate ammount of the murder rate in the US is what we call "Black on Black" crime. Basically - if you are middle class of any color, you are pretty much immune to random violence. You live in a "good" neighborhood.
I don't know what the solution of "Black on Black" crime is - but is a very sad problem, for everybody.
. Letting the population starve is not a symptom of insanity
I guess you have a different definintion of sanity than I do.
I understand your point - that the two Kim's of NK are really more ruthless than anything - but their actions lead one to not trust in them when it comes to sensabilities that you and I have.
NK, IMHO will lob a nuke much more readilly than say china - even though China has killed millions more humans in the last 50 years. Russa as well - Stalin's purges killed 30 million or so, but there was a method to his madness that Kim lacks.
North Korean nuclear strategy is most likely to revolve around not having to actually fire such weapons
The assumption is that the North Korean government is sane.
I seriously doubt any government that systematically starves its own people to death over a few decades would have any trouble watching the same people die in a "glorious" fire.
Cool, from being rational beings capable of creating works of Art like the David or Mona Lisa, we're downgraded to sex-hungry animals. Keep it going, Mr. Darwin.
Darwin's theory postulates that fitness and not nobleness leads to evolution.
That crack-whore welfare mama with 18 children is more fit evolutionary wise than the lonly artist who creats beautifull paintings but kills himself due to depression before breeding.
If de Raadt's anti-war comments were indeed the reason that the funding was pulled, shouldn't you look to blame DARPA for being amateurish/childish and not de Raadt for simple speaking his mind?
BOTH Darpa and Theo behaved just fine - there's no blame as both behaved truly.
Theo is free to speak his mind. DARPA is free to fund who they want.
If they want to do something stupid, I say we let them!
I agree! But unfortunatly, the same people that would gamble their future away are the same types of people that won't accept responsibility for their own actions.
I'd be all for legalizing gambeling, drugs and protitution --- if the people who engaged in such behaviour diden't keep asking for goverment handouts.
Weeks? The idea behind an in-place patch is because of some security flaw. You don't want the old version hanging around for weeks. If there's a security vulnerability, I want to restart ALL of the services that use it immediately.
For most purpouses - you can sometimes assume that the curent useres of your service are not malicious. New ones coming online could be malicious because they have access to security exploit. This is a decision for the human to make and not the OS. If I feel that the security vulnerability has been in the wild for too long - I will kill all the old processes that are attached to old clients.
When sshd had a vulnerability - I updated it and left the old connections online as they were all started before the exploit became known. When there was a vulnerability in PHP, I killed everybody because I wasen't sure, and our PHP app wasen't critical - it woulden't hurt anybody to drop them.
This is somthing that MS should allow the administrator to decide and not try to "help"
but is there a tool to automate dependency checking, to see which services need to be shut down, to actually shut them down / unload modules, and then relaunch services?
No need for that in a proper system.
Let's say I want to upgrade Samba: In Unix, while the system is running, I upgrade the binaries right over the old versions. Unix is smart enough to keep the old version around and all clients that are in use continue to work just.
Any new client gets the new version.
As old sessions drop off over the next few weeks they get the new version when the reconnect. When the last old session dies, then you're fully migrated and none of the users ever noticed.
No need for "automared dependence checking" when your system was designed properly in the first place.
All my donations to the "Sudan problem" have been directed to the neighboring countries that a housing the majority of the refugees.
Civil war is a bitch - there's nothing to really do but arm the victems and hope for a stalemate. Fat chance of the USA arming the victems this time around with the UN having a hissy fit everytime America doese somthing or doesen't do something.
What's with the kid that always crosses the finish line last and somehow always gets perceived as the leader?
Maby the last kid that crossed gets all the attention because he's "special."...
It's the same way when I show people Windows Remote Desktop.... they act like it's a big deal.
Unix had "remote destop technology" before most Unix users could afford computer monitors.
And even then, Unix was late to the party many times - I've been put in my place by old geezers when they say... "Well, my PDP-8 did that too. With punch-cards."

Do you live in some weird universe where 1000 ton Trinitron's roam the landscape and hunt down Magnavox's for breakfast?
Seconded!

How was the Xbox 1 late!!?!!?!
All it was was an Intel/Windows 2000 PC with some custom DRM and an advanced Nvidia GPU. Time to market should have been measured in months.
What the hell took Microsoft so long?
Were they doing 16 months of research on the Hand Hurt(tm) controllers?
Were they taking their time on designing the Ugly Box(tm) case / coffee-table?
Getting the proper pitch on the Noisy Fan (tm)?
?!?!? How do you screw up a launch when you have billions, and all you're doing just shipping PC's in an ugly box?
If you all have too much money - I'll sell you my $16,000 Saturn for $42,000.

Leave some slack!
And don't wire wrap every half an inch!
Nothing worse that a bunch of Cat5 cable cut too close that you can't even change the switch out with a different model because the jacks are in different places and the cable is too short. Or the patch panel is flaky and needs to be swaped out, but there's not an inch of slack!

Many of those 'Western Inventions' were due to easterners living/working/studing in the west...
They may be genetically white, but they are imersed and adopting Western culture.
"White" people are a minority, but the Western culture is spreading.....
I know you think they're all the same, but you're just displaying your typical Western ignorance, as are the moderators that modded you funny.
Typical Western ignorance?!?!?!!?
As you type your screed on a digital computer, and send it over the internet with satellite linkups.
I'll say one thing: At least Western ignorance is rather inventive.

Microsoft will betray anybody.
Remember Sega?
Sega "teamed" with Microsoft to bring a Windows CE based console to market to replace Sega's inhouse development platform.
Now we have the Xbox and no Sega.
Remember SGI?
SGI "teamed" with Microsoft to bring a new display technology (Ferenheit) to replace SGI's OpenGL.
Now we have DirectX and no SGI.
Remember Digital?
Digital "temed" with Microsoft to bring NT to the Alpha - Microsoft pilfered Digitals employees and improved NT by copying Digital's operating system.
Now we have XP and no Digital.
Microsoft will use a "partner" to gain insight into a market, and then turn and crush them.
think you'll find that it's a 3.5mm stero jack plug...
Nope. It's a 1/8 inch plug.
It's design is based on imperial units and not metric.
It's miniaturized version of the Ma Bell 1/4" tip and ring plug that was used all throughout the world for telephone switches.
Kinda like how drywall is usually exactly 1/4" no matter where you go, even in most metric countries.
