Didn't you know? 90% of the population of slashdot is just a per script that googles all the time and blurts things on here. The rest of the population are trolls or the rare real person replying.
As a comparison: Windows crashes on us all the time as to not let us be too productive! I get it now! What the hell do I need a *nix clone for! </sarcasm>
Natch. Sounds more like a save-my-ass excuse. Way to go Sony!
I checked their mailservers (what the MX record reports anyway), and they have a very generic ESMTP banner, not really apparent which MTA they use. I want to know which MTA can lose mail because of overload. So I can avoid it like the plague. I do know for a fact that Sendmail and Postfix send a 4xx error if mail cannot be spooled for delivery (for whatever reason), allowing the sending MX to retry at a later time. There is absolutely NO excuse for a mailserver dropping mail like that.
If I'm using DNS to distrbute load its going to screw things up. What if I simply want to change a website to a different server? What if my primary connection goes down so I have point the DNS to a differnt IP?
The zone serial number takes care of that. I tested if they mess with the round-robin nature of looking up A records, but that still seems to work just dandy.
Seriously, you guys should give Hamachi a try. You can build LAN's over the internet with it in a reasonably secure manner. Great for multiplayer games. Also comes in a yummy Linux flavour.
Isn't that like saying: "I'd certainly choose leaping head-first into a pit of jaggedy rusty spikes long before, say, burying myself up to my neck near an anthill after having smeared myself with honey."?
> Well, we could suck all the Co2 out of the atmosphere.
That would kill all the plants and also our main source of Oxygen, which we need to be able to breathe. Great going!:)
What's with all this messy splattering stuff? Exploding booms, splattering bulges, bubbles popping...
Honestly, I'm taking a wait-and-see stance. It's true that people that have been through the last period have wisened up quite a bit. I'll wait until all the excuberance is over and reality checks in.
Dude, this is just muscle tissue. The heart is not made of stemcells. You heart is in fact a muscle. And muscle tissue can be grown, just like cartiledge (sp?) and bone without the help of stemcells.
Quit bringing that stemcell debate crap into every medical advance that's out there please.

...in the marketplace, or literally, by sitting on you? No, he'll just use a chair.#include <stdio.h>
int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
char *blah = "\x09\xf9\x11\x02"
"\x9d\x74\xe3\x5b"
"\xd8\x41\x56\xc5"
"\x63\x56\x88\xc0";
printf("Hello AACS world! Here's a bunch of completely random non-ASCII characters: %s\n", blah);
return 0;
}
I guess they are becoming the modern equivalent of the backhoe, which is also a dreaded enemy of many an ISP. :P

Exactly 7000? Sounds like it was intentional.
(just kidding)
Oh! Eureka!

Well, what about firewire? ISTR that firewire can provide more power than USB.

Nope, we're pretty much alive. Just like *BSD :)

Or like Star Trek. You would figure that they would have something like seatbelts in the 24th century.

Mine usually start of with "what the hell?", but I guess that's in the same vein :)
Don't rule out FreeBSD on sparc64. sparc64 is a tier 1 platform nowadays.

Server? I use it as a workstation. KDE runs like a charm on it.
AMD64 has over 130. Just so you know.
