The Grumman F-14D Tomcat is a twin-engine, two-seat supersonic airplane that in the years since the early 1970s was the Navy's primary fighter. Its battles with Russian-built MiGs over Vietnam made both planes famous.
I work for a major SAN/NAS vendor/manufacturer and this is just like our snapshot funtionality...
The snapshot makes a copy of the file allocation tables at a point in time and subsequent edits and creates don't overwrite blocks that are in-use by existing snapshots.
So, when you restore a snapshot you're just overwriting the existing FAT with a copy of the previous state of the file system.
When a snapshot expires, the blocks which are being reserved by the snapshot are released to the file system to be overwritten as necessary...
Well, I wasn't going to respond to your response, but what the heck...
First, the $500 sunglass remark was metaphorical. I wasn't implying that you actually owned $500 sunglasses, really I was implying that the fact that $500 sunglasses exist at all suggests consumption for consumption sake, a second example, if you will...
Second, I didn't resort to personal attacks because I disagreed with you, but you seemed to feel the need to do it with me. Why is that?
The morality of each of those motives may rightly be questioned (yes, even hunger, you cheeto-eating, lard-bellied, WoW-playing dweebs!), but there is no "consumption for consumption's sake".
Sure there is...
Consumption for comsumption's sake is demonstrated clearly by people buying bigger and bigger SUVs...
A suburban housewife driving a Hummer? Ridiculous...
If you need a clearer example than that you should take off your $500 sunglasses...
Way back in the '80's I worked for a PC wholesaler...We also did a little maintenance work on the side...
One day a guy called to say he wanted us to replace the defective Seagate ST251 hard drive he bought from us. When I asked him what was wrong with the drive, he said it was making noise so he opened the case and cleaned the heads and now it wasn't working at all...
I've had a theory about this for some time...No doubt other have the same thoughts...
At the top of the tree, you've got Anti-Virus and Security companies. They're where the initial energy for the system comes from...
Through proxies, they hire programmers in Eastern Europe and Asia to write all the Trojans, Virii, Backdoors and what have you, which the companies at the top of the tree will protect us from for a price.
If the programmers create a mechanism to make a little profit for themselves, so be it...
Obviously, it was a malfunctioning StarDrive, a magnetic containment breach, which allowed the escape of Gamma particles for approximately 33 minutes, until the engineering crew was able to get the containment field to stabililze and stop the leak.
Research from the University of East Anglia in Norwich, U.K. shows that the 20th century was the warmest for the northern hemisphere since approximately 800AD. (stuff deleted for brevity) The findings support the argument for global warming as a result of human interference rather than natural climate change.
Huh?
It's the warmest year since approximately 800AD and it's definitely because of Human efforts?
Then why was it warmer BEFORE 800AD?
Where there MORE people then? Did they put MORE CARBON in the atmosphere back then?
I always hoped I would never have to carry one of these cursed things, but I've been carrying one since June, when I was tasked with installing a Blackberry Enterprise Server...
I hate the dammned thing, but the bright side is at least I can almost always know if the email server is up!
If a Linux program (or OS X program for that matter) can do all of the above then companies will be able to switch without too much problem. Pop mail and simple Imap won't cut it.
I've had the unfortunate experience of having to replace a perfectly good GroupWise system with a not so good POP/IMAP based system, simply because the State mandated switching to an "Open Standards" based system (Netscape Messaging and Calendaring Server)...
It was a freaking nightmare.
First, no one, and I mean no one, from the Secretary of Transporation's office, right down to the guys on the road crews, wanted me to take away their GroupWise accounts.
It took my group, all 3 of us, 2.5 years to convert 7,000 users, mostly due to resistance. Office managers would complain to District Managers who would in-turn complain to Divisional managers...
Anyway, once the conversion was finally over, people still did nothing but complain for the rest of time I contracted at DOT...
The company does not have the right to provide Microsoft's code, he said, adding it would be impossible to provide the names of every programmer who worked on Windows
Well, he's right.
But the State could require MS to do so, or, because Windows is so "off the shelf" they could say the OS doesn't matter, just place their (Diebold's) code in escrow...
For Diebold to automatically assume that THEY must supply the Windows code is just being disingenuous and obtuse...
Sword of the Phoenix was sort of the Mecca for All Things Gaming here in Atlanta for...as long as I can remember.
Oh man. I loved Sword of the Phoenix when I lived in Atlanta... When I was in the Air Force, stationed in northern Mississippi, we took road trips to Atlanta just to go to SOTP...

Or even 9 knots... :)
The link below goes to a story that claims the F-14 was a formidable opponent for MIGs in Vietnam:

Clearly he confused the F-14 with the F-4...
Wow.
I did exactly the same thing for DOS, but my code has disappeared over the years...
I called my Bot Language MRPL, MadMorf's Robot Programming Language.
So, would you start to change Player Killers with murder?
That's absurd.
Game crimes require game punishments...But, a ponzi scheme, don't these people watch "real world" news once in a while?
Some friends and I drove up from Miami to watch a Shuttle Launch way back in the 80's (the launch with Senator Garn)...
We watched it from Cocoa, not to be confused with Cocoa Beach, along the river...
RSync and/or Robocopy with external USB or eSATA drive.
Easy to get working, and the software is free (as in beer).
If you're really looking for data protection, RAID the external drives...
Backing-up to CD/DVD is too slow and time consuming for any system with appreciable amounts of data...

Ultimately I think the answer to this lies in the distinction we make between egg and not egg.
Nah, you've got it backwards...
The answer lies in the distinction between "Chicken" and "Not Chicken"
I have had great luck finding games and players over the years with AccessDenied.Net:

I've used Yahoo for %100 of my personal email for the last 6 years.
And, as an email admin, I also use it to test systems, both mine and others, and it always works...
If the servers are up and down all the time, I've never noticed it...
I'd file this under FUD...
There would be a lot of "how can fight something like that?" discussions going on that night.
Easy.
Overwhelm the system with targets...
Can it block 6 RPGs coming from 3 different directions?
I'll bet it can't...
How long was LDAP the 'next big thing' in enterprise networking? Guess which OS actually brought LDAP to most of the worlds enterprise networks.
Um, that would be NetWare, with NDS, not Win2K with AD...

I would argue that Cruise Missiles (US Navy's Tomahawk and USAF's ALCM and GLCM) are more robotic than this remote controlled toy...
Hey, almost any "fire and forget" missle qualifies for this distinction...
Obviously, it was a malfunctioning StarDrive, a magnetic containment breach, which allowed the escape of Gamma particles for approximately 33 minutes, until the engineering crew was able to get the containment field to stabililze and stop the leak.
I'll agree here...
During my last job search, almost every VALID lead I got came through POSTING my resume on Dice.
Having said that, responding to job postings on Dice just sucks. It's different for every employer and is totally non-productive...

Heck, that sounds like a CSV formatted file...
