Did you buy the regular version or the pro version originially? I don't know, but my pro SN works in the released version of 2, I bought the pro version last june. I bought the regular version when it was announced, and upgraded to the pro version in june, when it was released and the version 2 just works.
I've found that it's a bit slow and unstable though. When you get a lot of domains and hosts it's a bit slow. I have 40 remote sites each with many hundres of machines (some with over a thousand) and displaying that many hosts, it gets a bit pokey, even on the console, and scrolling is slow too. I also got a bad taste in my mouth when one of the domain files got messed up a bit (server updated the lease time and it messed something up) and if I clicked on it it would hang the app, I had to delete the file and recreate it. Then Sun patched everything and changed the file format and broke it for me. I switched to ISC's dhcp server. No front end for me though, just vi, but I don't have to edit the file ever now that it's set up. I really liked the sun app though, it got my machines up and running very quickly. I haven't used the newer versions (I stopped using it about 8 months ago) though, and not in Sol9.
11MB mail box, 20MB for attachments, for a reason!
on
E-Mail Size Limits?
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
I set up an 11MB quota for each of our 4000 users. But I allow a larger attachment and you have a 5day grace period to delete mail. So each user can receive up to a 20 MB attachment and as long and they download and delete it off the server they will still receive their email. Before I set up the enforcement of the attachment size I had a teacher try to email an audio recording of her class to her supervisor. It was a 44.1KHz stereo AIFF file and it was an hour long, so it was around 640MB. Who needs napster when you have email! Most users are pretty good, but we have around 1% that are constantly over quota.
I just checked out the rackable systems site and the 1RU 1000 server looks IDENTICAL to sun's LX50 intel server. Same specs and identical physical boxes. I got my LX50 free when we bought a V480, now I know where to get another one cheaper:)

Free speech has different rules for commercial entities than for the everyman. Rules to protect the consumers ( you can't false advertise and then claim free speech) and you can't cause monitery losses to the customer (faxes, cellular phones) and the like. Plus, they aren't preventing the SPAMers from advertizing, they can still go on street corners abd start yelling "Hello Friend, care for a free (for a cost) account to our pr0n site?" "Mortgage Rate above 4.50%? We can help you save thousands of dollars. And, the best part is we have hundreds of lenders nationwide dying for your business."

It's not a blog, but it is a novel written entirely by emails passing between the characters. It's very funny and a quick read. Once you get in to the book you don't even need to read the header of the email as you get to know the writting style and attitude of each person. It's a great book.
That it works on Mac OS X. The PVR space is well covered on wintel, but there isn't anything out there on the Mac. There are tons of video capture cards/devices on the Mac, but nothing (until now) that does PVR with scheduling and such. Plus it does MPEG1 encoding in the box so it'll work on any Mac with USB. Sure, it's not the best by todays standards, but it's lightweight and works. Plus, it's less that $200US so it's a thrid the cost of a ReplayTV or TiVO. It's missing some features compaired to ReplayTV, but not enough to make me want to spend 3 times more for it. Plus, since it creates standard MPEG1 files, I can off load them to CD/HD/whatever and save them as long as I want.
Apple is Microsoft's bitch, accept it. Who is the #1 software maker for Apple computers? Microsoft. And your point is what exactly? Do you think that MS doesn't make money off Office:Mac? Do you think that MS would put up with the MBU if they weren't a profit center? I'm not discounting a point but the facts remains. 1. Apple is a viable computing platform and 2. MS produces Office for the Mac. Both of these points tie into each other, but still stand on their own. The 3D industry is moving whole hog to Linux, and once Film-Gimp is fully acceptable, or Adobe ports Photoshop, it is all over.
Renderfarms yes, replacing SGI's, maybe, but where are the tools that aren't custom built? Where is Maya, photoshop, etc.? As for Gimp, exactly NONE of the graphics artists I know, and non of the photographers use anything but photoshop and all of them rely on the color correction built into the Mac OS (colorsync) and non of these people would put up with XWindows and it's inconsistancies. True, I know a very small section of these types of people, but of the few that I know, they are not geeks. All of these tools are great (Gimp, etc.) but there is a lot more that goes into the process that just the creation/editing tool of choice. Plus, you seem to discount the fact that Mac OS X has all of these tools already and people are starting use them and buy more Mac's.
But wait: doesn't M$ 0wn apple? (25% stock?) Does anyone know about DRM plans on mac? You've got to be kidding me... MS sold their stock forever ago, plus it was NON-VOTING stock! MS never had anything to say with apple, except what the normal largest apple ISV would have to say. Plus, the Mac Biz Unit is run as a seperate company for all intents and purposes. Apple has no stated direction on DRM, except perhaps putting the DRM on the user with stickers like "Don't steal music" on the iPod. The Mac is a digital media creation system (Look at Final Cut and the recent film/video and music/sound software company purchases) and it would be sad for Apple to hobble it with DRM.
The chapter is on the setup of your Airport Network. Have you ever set up an Airport network? Did you need a manual? The chapter goes over the settings and such of the different settings of the computer and setup of the basestation, but nothing that's not in the online help really, and it's even missing info (Like how to type in a HEX password that's used on non-apple AP's. But again, that info is in the help on the Mac anyway.) The chapter is only 14 pages long, with lots of pictures. I'm glad they threw it in there, but if you own a Mac and an Airport card, you probably know everything that's in the chapter already. Trust me, if you need to know the info that's in that chapter, the rest of the book will fry your brain:)
Whatever, the iPod hardware is not incompatible in any way. The software just isn't provided from Apple. do you think Toshiba will ship Mac software? I doubt it. Does that mean that it won't work? doubtfull. Several companies have produced software that makes the iPod work with Windows, and I'm sure you could do the same for Linux, et. al.
Just a few things. $150 mil "investment" was crap. It was pocket change to MS and to Apple. the more important thing was the Office for 5 year deal, but if you run the numbers Office for the Mac makes MS a LOT of money.
Apple adopts FreeBSD because
* A) they cant compete w/ GNU/Linux, *BSD or MSWin
* B) It makes a strong alternative to GNU/Linux
* C) it supports Apple/MS hegemony.
All of this is crap
Apple picked BSD because it was in OpenSTEP/NeXTSTEP and that's what OS X is. There is no conspriacy here, well except for the Corel thing, that's fishy, but smart on the part of MS, but I think it will kill Corel in the end.
With standard backup software like Sun's (rebranded Legato) Solstice Backup you can also specify a filesystem to back up to as well as tape's, so you might be able to use an extra RAID for quick backup's then use the tape to back that up in a larger window. Filesystem snapshotting (Sun's Instant Image) would work fine if you can shutdown the database for a sec. I'm in the same pickle btw. Oracle Financials, Sun, tape backup, RMAN, etc. I'm going to end up doing just tape (single drive L20 DLT8K) we don't have a window nearly as small as yours though. I'm currently getting 10GB/hr via NETWORK backup, which isn't half bad. But I'm also going to have a extra RAID for Redo logs (mirrored drive) and a RAID-5 for whatever snapshotting I need.
The are very small, 1U and can be racked in a rack, no need for a cabinet. A lot of intel 1U servers are so deep that you can't rack them in a 19" rack, you need a cabinet to support the back of the server. I currently have 12 of these things doing DNS, DHCP, web serving, WebObjects app serving, LDAP server, and file serving. Standard IDE HD's, you can mount two of them. I have one with 2 100GB drives. They also take standard PC-133 ECC RAM, up to 2GB. They also don't use much power.
The SPDIF connection on your juke is 100% digital. The signal doesn't go through a D/A conversion, so it'll sound perfect, what your sound card does with it remains to be seen, though they all should do well. Creative labs has an add on to their PCI cards that add optical and coax digital connections. The problem is that the juke will only send the data out in real time. So where it takes but a few minutes to rip to MP3 on your computer using you internal drive, using the Juke it would take up to 80 minutes.
I had no problems with the camera work. That is to say, that I didn't come out of the movie thinking about it. The other people in the theater enjoyed it, as did I. The special effects are cool and the speed-up/slow-mo stuff is pretty neat to watch, though done a bit too many times. As for the quote mentioned in the review, "There can be only one..." I think I was the only one in the theater to bust out laughing, it had to be a joke/hommage. I wish they would have changed the ending. It had so much of a chance, but it's an american film, what can ya do. I was dissapointed in Jason Statham. He shouldn't have tried a different accent. He's great in Lock Stock and in Snatch, but in The One, sometimes he's got a texas accent, sometimes, it's back to brit, it was odd really. So, it's a fun fight flick, though yes, the plot is thin, but not any worse than every other fight flick out there, and at least it's not a the bad guy killed my best friend/wife/dog/whatever from the 80's. As for the comparisions to Jackie Chan's films, different thing all together really, IMHO. JC's stuff is ment to be funny, with action/kung-fu, etc. Movies like this are ment to be fun (not funny) action movies. And neither of them are ment to be world changing plot/dialog based films.
