I didn't want to like WoW. I waited until September to play it (even though I had it in March). I played for 2 hours and bam, I was a goner. I don't play every moment of every day, but it is my favorite MMORPG by far (and the most popular one in my internet cafe - CoV/CoH is a reasonably close second)
This guy make think they are going in the right direction, but they have *so* far to go to catch up it would take a meltdown of Chernobyl proportions on blizzards part for SWG to even have a chance, and probably not even then....
The only MMORPG that I know of that might challenge the dominance of WoW is the new D&D game coming out.
"However you might want to look into RAID 15, so if you can get a system that will hold 6, even better."
Raid 5 will work with 3 or more drives and only 1 drives worth of data is unusable regardless of the number of drives in the raid. Raid 15, if I understand it right (I'm much more familiar with raid 5), would set aside 4 drives worth as unusable in a 6 drive array.
If I have a bunch of 100GB drives:
a 3 drive raid 5 gives me 200GB of usable space. a 6 drive raid 5 gives me 500GB of usable space. a 6 drive raid 15 gives me 200Gb of usable space (but protected by both parity *and* mirror and can survive up to 3 drives dying at the same time).
The catch to raid 5 is that data cannot be recovered if more than 1 drive fails (at a time). So, while one sees a nice decrease in the % of disk space used up by the system as one adds drives, the chance for simultaneous multiple disk failure increases. For most people, building a system for home data storage, this is not a huge concern (especially if there is 1 or more drives setup as automatic fallbacks).
I do agree wtih the poster, btw, that a slower cpu is fine. I run 3-200GB drives in a raid 5 on a 100mb network with decent nfs and samba traffic, and the cpu (1GHz AMD) hardly budges above 3-5% usage. Ram usage is at least 500mb however.
Except this is not at all what the makers of Serenity (and/or the makers of these small videos) are doing so either your definition is wrong or the application of this term to this strategy is wrong.
I'm pretty sure it's been a while now - I had a conversation with a recruiter from Amazon about perl around 6 years ago (and it was their main language then).
I think it will definatly be an option. With Beta 3, one simply had to copy some folders over from the live cd (plus make sure FWVM was installed). Search the SymphonyOS forums for "gentoo" for more info.
Again, it depends on how you get the information - if someone tells me that you have a file on me in your house, I don't have the right to break in and read it.
True, but in this case nothing was broken into. The information was out there for anybody to view who had a login/password. No attempt was made to make the information secure other than obscurity, which most would agree is not a valid attempt.
You are comparing public websites with private computers. No one claims that a private computer becomes non-private the moment it's connected to the net (ie, no one claims it's ok to walk into a house because the door is open).
1) No hacking or cracking was involved - the information was available to anybody who had a login/password by adding freely available information (again, if one has a login/password) to the url.
2) No one is claiming that someone viewed admission status for anyone but themselves (except for the sister but that's another story).
3) No information on the server was changed by the students, simply viewed (ie, admission status was not changed not could it be via this process).
4) Some posters are claiming that the students were told they shouldn't do this, but I have yet to read anything supporting this.
5) In some cases, this act was the sole basis for a denial from the school.
Simply put, the schools will and should get sued by the students who had their admissions taken away. No law was broken, and no attempt at cheating was made.
If you put information on the web, it will be viewed. Period. You can bitch and moan all you want about it, but if the information is not protected, it's your own damn fault. Blaming the students is a sad attempt at diverting the focus from the real issue - security by obscurity does not work.
I run a small dual-boot internet cafe. My old school HP DeskJet died, so I found a used HP LaserJet for $100. Only had it a few months, but it works great and plays very nicely with CUPS.
In the Beowolf part of the story they mention a "Hard Drive Blaster". Never heard of such a thing - anyone have an idea what this is and how much it costs?
You are absolutly correct *except* we are talking about events that occured once bush was notified about the 2nd plane hitting the WTC.
Bush received a telephone call while in his limo on the way to the school telling him of the first plane. The message he received in the classroom was about the second plane crash. At this point, the whole world knew it was terrorism and the secret service failed in it's sole mission to protect the president.
Given the method of attack - it's suspected that the reason the Pentagon was hit instead of the White House is because the White House is small and the Pentagon is fucking enormous - it's unlikely that terrorists would have been able to find a nondescript elementary school from the air or to find and ram AF1,
In hindsight, maybe this is true. But if you have just heard that the country is under attack via suicidal jetliners, you act to protect the POTUS, and wonder if the school if visable from the air *after* every reasonable action has been taken.
and agents on the ground were likely more than enough protection against bombers or gunmen.
You mean the Blues Brothers are coming over? Cool!
You make a good point, and to avoid the Secret Service a wasted trip - I in no way intend to hurt the president of the united states. Except verbally (I do reserve the right to call him a fucktard any time I want).
The joke is that we all know the dude's going to lose this election. We just have to wait 5 more days and then he becomes just another "1 termer" who couldn't hack it as president (just like his papa). The worst thing that could happen now is someone attacks him because then people would vote for him (beware the sympathy vote).
So anyhow, hope you guys (the secret service) feel better. But feel free to send the blue brothers over if you like, but not Belushi - I'm sure he stinks pretty bad by now.
No bigger groups of idiots exists today. Lets looks at the facts:
President Bush is allowed to stay in a classroom for 7 minutes after hearing of the 2nd plane hitting the WTC. His trip to the school is pre-publicized (hence his location is not secret by any means). The secret service should have politly asked to speak to the president and then run his ass out of there the minute he was out of sight of the children. On the trip in the limo to Air Force One, a group of fighters should have been called up from one of the air force bases in florida and been above the plane before it took off. But this did not happen as fighters didn't meet up with the plane until it's next stop (can't remember the base he landed at briefly).
The secret service blew it big time and failed to protect the president and no one has said a word.
But then some kid says "I pray the president dies" and the secret service considers this a threat. What a bunch of fucking morons. Half the world wants this guy dead. Hell, I want the guy dead (He's put this country in more danger than it's been since the cold war by invading a sovereign nation that held *zero* threat to us and he is responsible for the needless death of over a thousand service american man and woman and well over a fifty thousand iraqi civilians). Is the secret service going to investigate *all* of us? Fucking morons!
The fact is it's very easy to rent a small 2 or 4 seat cesna in this country - this law makes it no easier to use a plane in a terrorist attack.
What this law does is open the skies to a much larger group of americans - and is an acknowledgement that we are not a nation under seige - a belief that morons like you cannot seem to understand.
Pull you head out of the tv news and realize that Ashcroft and company want you to be afraid.
The only reason this country will be attacked again is if we keep trying to impose our values on the middle east (ala support of isreal and invasion of iraq).
The explanation that I've heard is that less is better at recovering from reading a binary file - sometimes more freaks out and the console spits out junk until you close that shell.
Based on what? Since Scaled was the last of the X-prize participants to announce their intent (and the first to qualify), that goes against a guy trying looking for attention (it's not like he's been saying he's going to do this for years with little results).
In my opinion, Burt Rutan and Scaled don't receive half the attention they deserve. Burt Rutan is going to go do in history (along with Kelly Johnson of Skunk Works fame) as one of the countries most innovative and successful aircraft designers.

But a public website is exactly that - public.
This logic is neither selective nor naive.
Let me see if I have this straight....
1) No hacking or cracking was involved - the information was available to anybody who had a login/password by adding freely available information (again, if one has a login/password) to the url.

They do have to carry 3 people, or the pilot and weight of 2 passangers (probably used sand bags).
BTW, Burt Rutan mentioned just after the last flight that he might be a passenger in the next one.
It must not be - It never occured to me the poster was trying to be funny.
Critical thinking isn't your strong suit, is it?

He seems to 'crave' publicity with his projects.

But it was Mike who supposedly reported the bangs, and the occupant of a plane that reaches mach 1 does not hear the sonic boom that's generated....
I think he's being sarcastic....
I stand corrected - that's a great pic I hadn't seen - and yeah, it's a lot bigger than 2x human height.
Thanks for the info!
Now I *really* want one of the planes!
No way the wingspan is 23 feet (and no way is it 6 feet like another poster thought).
Looking at the video of it taking off, it taxies near some folks. My guess is the wingspan is 12 feet or so.
