Can you cut the crap? Prevayler is faster when it can fit the object store in memory and it tries to fit the entire object store in memory which is not the answer to 90%+ of real world tasks.
It is OK for dealing with configuration data. It is OK for dealing with ephemeral data that shall be discarded after processing. It has no place whatsoever if you have to store data long term and the size of data will exceed the size of RAM on the machine.
Try prevailer once the machine has burried its head into swap and talk bulshit again.
On a memory resident database vs unoptimized MySQl reading from disk. What a horrrid crock of worthless shite for a benchmark.
Object prevalence is not the answer for any large scale problem. A good example for this is the old Vitria connector used for mediation which used an in-house prevalence library and an in-house persistent connection implementation by whoever wrote it. The result was that a single communication failure lead to the object backlog eating 8-9G of RAM on a machine processing real call records in a real telco.
Otherwise it is a qute small scale concept that has its place.
UFS journaling was introduced in 2.7. It became stable around 2.8 and in early 2.7 caused the filesystems to come up always dirty after a crash or power failure if an application was writing to a file from multiple threads without locking on a mutex first.VXFS had journaling long before that. Also, its optimization at least up to 2.8 was absolutely pathetic.
I agree on the VxVM. It is correct that it is hardly required on anything but a test system where you need to modify the disk layout every few days.
You are mistaking what Sun calls a server and what most slashdot readers calls a server. Sun calls a server an enterprise box serving loads of internal users because that is where the money is.
They are long out of the Internet game. They lost that bit as a part of the bubble burst because the companies who invested into solaris internet infrastructure went first (for cost reasons).
Sun still does not have a decent filesystem, a decent volume manager and decent backup software. So in fact you are buying from three vendors - Sun, Oracle and Veritas.
What I personally find most amuzing is that instead of manifesting some brains people who add linux to Solaris corporate installations buy from Veritas for Linux instead of doing a proper cost/benefit analysis and looking at why did they have to purchase Veritas in first place (vxfs).
Yes, but the due to debacles like this the EU is about to start fining any airline complying to US information disclosure demands until US puts some proper privacy guarantees in place.
They do not. For them it is a simple business matter as Vixie is also on the board of MAPS RBL which provide antispam services and Above.NET which is a big ISP.
These are the same grounds on which the OFT dismissed mine (and quite a few other) complains against it in the UK.
It is a generally valid argument as far as anticompetitive practices are concerned. You are not allowed to complain unless you are directly affected. All that Red Hat needs to prove that it is directly affected with relation to one or more of the SCO actions it alleges to be illegal.
It is actually the same as with Open Source. Private enterprise has not learned how to extract money from something that is already there and is not being tightly controlled.
Examples:
geological survey data - ever thought of selling that landslide probability data for California to the house insurance companies?
Water temperature and conditions data - ever thought of selling this to fishermen?
So on so fourth.
The problem with selling them is that there is always at least one more party to have access to these (start with your own gov and continue with russians, europeans, chinese, etc). There is no monopoly and you have to rely on value added services to make this profitable. Corps do not like this in an emerging market. No VC will invest in a concept for which they know that it will not have the market to its own for at least a few years.
I am referring to the specs of the new one. It is rated B grade emissions in the UK. The Sirion is A. So is the Audi A2. So is the Mitsubishi SpaceStar 1.9 TDI which is definitely much bigger.
Bigfoot - with the number of traps used in the last three centuries for other game at least one should have been caught. So methinks not likely.
Loch Ness is an entirely different matter:
Some of the high res sonar footage made there in the 80-es is very suspicious. With the advance of data processing it is quite time to repeat the sonar surveys, but it has such bad publicity that no scientific outfit is willing to sponsor this.
Still, Loch Ness is similar to legends and sightings of something big and unknown in other Scottish Lochs and many lakes in Norway and Sweden. It is not just Loch Ness. There are a few other places worth going with a good sonar kit. So I hope that someone does a tour with new equipment.
Also, the likelyhood of a relict beast of any description surviving in the ocean and waters once connected to it is much higher then on earth. There is a long list of sightings and even kills of beasts that resemble plesiousaurs, ichtiosaurs and some long extinct wales. Most of them are from the 19th century conflicts as well as the first and second world war when ships strayed far away from the usual trade paths. During those times hoaxes was one of the last things to interest people. Considering that we sail in less then 1% of the oceans during peace time and the rest is visited only in time of war the evidence becomes quite compelling.
This argument along with exact dates and ship names can all be found in a several books which unfortunately I do not have around at the moment (they are left where I used to live). I would not say that I believe in it 100%, but I think that the Loch Ness and the case of the "Sea Monster" in general still has its benefit of doubt.
They are still CRAP (TM). They will continue to be crap until they are 100% fuel cell driven or batery driven. If your main engine is electric having breaking recouperation makes sense. If it is hybrid it only adds weight, complexity and increases maintenance costs and it cannot recoup more then around 20% of the used energy ().
For example the new Toyota Prius delivers lower MPG then the Daihatsu Sirion which is made by the same Toyota group (51 best vs 57 best). It is also slower and more sluggish (14 s to 62 compared to under 9.0). It also has higher emissions (almost twice worse on all counts). All of it while carrying the same amount of passengers and having only 30 liters more luggage space. It has a huge maintenance bill as the battery cells last only around 40-50 thousand miles and it has high ongoing maintenance as well. It is also a bomb. There are very few things that are more suicidal then sitting on a shorting battery in an accident with a fuel tank nearby.
Also I will not even compare it to a modern diesel. The new Audi A2 TDI which once again carries the same number of people and has the same luggage space (320 or so liters) can deliver 80mpg with even less emissions then the Sirion. That is VW which I hate. Still it is the diesel king, but Peugeot, Mitsubishi and several others are not that far behind with figures in the 50-60 MPG with corresponding emissions for a small family car. They also beat the crap out of the Prius on maintenance, acceleration and overall driving experience.
Hybrids are not the answer. They help develop technology which is useful for fuel cell or fully electric vehicles, but they are definitely not the answer. So I think they should be sponsored even further so that technology can be developed. But I will not buy one. I will chose something less polluting.
Phone minus sensory deprivation equals reading too much Stanislav Lem. The device in question is described in one of the Navigator Pirx stories as used to determine psychological stability in a Navigation school exam.
And this exactly why they will get whacked with an antitrust suit by half of the registrars on the planet if they try it. So no real reason to fret about it. Yet...
It is well known that the Sobig.F and many other viruses forge the sender address. These viruses are identified by the relevant filter product.
Then, why on earth do you send a notification to an address that is known to be forged?
The answer is simple - free advertising payed with your and my money. It is not stupidity. It is malice. An outright form of advertising a product by SPAM. I think that any Washington (or other state with antispam laws) resident should sue them for this.
Changing file names and directory layouts should have similar effect. Unless you start comparing every file with every file which will make this a classic n-square problem and that is a well known way to climb a staircase going down.
What they have missed is that this has some serious WMD use and have been investigated by the Pentagon, the Soviets and Chinese for a while (15 years+ since the first time I heard about it) now. Thankfully none of them have figured how to use it as a weapon. It decays too fast with distance and is hard to make sufficiently directed.
60db infrasound at around 6.9-7.1 Hz is capable of driving a human insane or even killing him within a few minutes.
Imagine someone unleashing this on a crowd in peak hour.
I think you are mistaking bandwith glut and oversupply of resources for information technology advancements.
For example most of the countries mentioned have had QoS aware backbones with major ISPs for 7+ years. US still does not have one (I do not count Level3 abuse of diffserv as such. It is too crude). VOIP as a major means of international connectivity has existed for 6+ years. So on so forth.
135,136,137,445,31337 in any direction,25 and 119 incoming, and other l33t ports. It has been a common practice in many countries to block them off for 7+ years. Off the top of my head I can think of at least 3 big Bulgarian ISPs, 1 Russian, 3 Dutch, 1 UK, 2 German so on so forth that have been doing this for years. These are the ones I know and there are much more out there.
Also note that the port lists deals only with ports related to l33t script kdd10tz behaviour and SPAM. Ssh, ftp, http which are commonly prohibited by US ISPs are not there
Also, I have not heard about any of their customers complaining despite the fact that it is not even opt-out. It is so old that it was implemented in the days when you could not chose an ACL via radius so it is a fixed access list on all interfaces. And I think it should be.

Guess what Dell will be doing next.
IBM cannot as it is already embroiled in litigation. Dell can. And will. Betcha a case of beer on that.

There is not a penny to do the grunt work because it still penalise the sender, not the one who bought the service.
The only way to ban SPAM is to make the act of buying SPAM services illegal.
Err... My polish is crap, but unless I am mistaken they seem to have used a 500mW aplifier and a 27dbM antenna to boot.
What's next? Sticking it in the middle of Aresibo and claiming half a light year range?
There are quite a few projects like this around. The XP requirement comes from using Universal Plug and Pray.
