But our system needs and usage is different from the norm with respect to this.
We use/tmp for basically storage outside those of user quotas on the home directory, where big things can be dropped. Like the iso for redhat7.
Something I'd do on an enterprise, 5000 user machine? Nope. But we are not that.:) And things in there can be blown away, but if we're backing up, might as well get everything for the users.
I don't want to have over 30 CD-R laying around per backup.
A complete system backup (including system files, temp - lots of stuff in tmp, and pub would take well over 40GB).
Once a month is just because I'm either too busy or lazy. People's home directories will change often. Once a month is only acceptable because this is to be done during my free time.
Because it puts the audience in disbelief and uncertainity. This is what made Babylon 5 so interesting. Imagine if Picard was killed off at the end of season 1. Happened in B5 (Sinclar was reassigned off station).
It makes it interesting, and makes those oh-no-is-he-gonna-die moments better. I never expected Tasha to be killed. And she was. BAM! Major surprise. Good drama.
1) What does PGP have to do with this? Clipper is telephone based.
2) Clipper makes it harder to spy on people. Mostly because they need the warrant and keys from two other government organization to spy, as opposed to just a warrant itself for wiretapping.
Personally I didn't think it was that neat looking either.:) But I loved the concept, a PacketCrapper!
Enough with the "just put windows on your network" jokes. This thing does stuff like bad frames, latency, out of order packets, and so forth across your backbone. Windows doesn't do that (especially when it isn't being a router/gateway/repeater).
Let's not forget, administrators don't necessarily want to go through that much of a pain in the ass to get a package installed.
As this stuff comes out, we're finding more flaws in the Linux/distro models. Things that need to be fixed at some point to be a great enterprise scale operating system. These are things that code itself won't fix, it's management.
Not to mean that Linux is, by nature, flawed. Far from it. But every system goes through this kind of thing.
And of course, the other variants of Unix (Solaris, BSD, SCO) and so forth, which has a strong reputation for being kickass stable, reliable, and good performance.
1) We're the first form of life an alien race has ever found, and they are interested in studying us; alien antropologists. And want to remain hidden away perhaps for centuries.
2) They know more about the universe than us and are able to travel at near or greater than the speed of light. Warp drive, subspace, jumpgates, instant transmission, transporters, something undiscovered by us as of today.
Assuming you do not have a car that has been upgraded to take advantage of these capabilities, you go to a terminal or pc or whatever and click the
"I just got in a car accident" wizard.
It then says, okay, you got in an accident. Pull database....your insurance agent is Grecko. Look at address book, grab spouse phone number. Use modem to send a fax message to the doctor listed in your address book to leave an generic fax message saying the hospital you are at.
Well you might as well go all out and just use a VPN. It'd probably be better than a custom made and unproven cgi web unlocking thingie anyways.
But keep in mind just because you use SSH or a VPN does not mean that you are perfectly secure. Your machine may have a trojan key grabber installed, and could steal your passwords or keys.
Well don't forget that Ethernet broadcasts to everyone on the segment. Which is why it was so easy to sniff people's passwords, email, instant messages, whatever.
Email originally was viewable by everyone, completely open on the system.

That's why you put swap on a seperate partition. :-)
Yes I do understand the purpose of /tmp
/tmp for basically storage outside those of user quotas on the home directory, where big things can be dropped. Like the iso for redhat7.
:) And things in there can be blown away, but if we're backing up, might as well get everything for the users.

We use
Something I'd do on an enterprise, 5000 user machine? Nope. But we are not that.
Yeah, I know this is a troll (and a not-great one at that).
But I think any responses to it would be interesting. Or funny.
I don't want to have over 30 CD-R laying around per backup.
/homes and /var.
A complete system backup (including system files, temp - lots of stuff in tmp, and pub would take well over 40GB).

Minimal plan is to backup
Um. Mr. pizza....
:-)
Personal backup solution. Not enterprise.
$3000 is a bit out of the personal product price range.
It's awesome when a main character is killed off.
Why?
Because it puts the audience in disbelief and uncertainity. This is what made Babylon 5 so interesting. Imagine if Picard was killed off at the end of season 1. Happened in B5 (Sinclar was reassigned off station).
It makes it interesting, and makes those oh-no-is-he-gonna-die moments better. I never expected Tasha to be killed. And she was. BAM! Major surprise. Good drama.
It also costs $8 a month.
The .museum can be enforced easily. For now, we'll drop that, as there is no debate there. :)
.sex sites? Good luck regulating all of them, across all the nations of the world, all the time.
But how can you control the
Porn sites are the ones that open 8 windows on you, and open a new windows when you close their site, taking you to one of their other sites.
.com, .net, and .org to move into a .sex which can be more easily filtered?
Do you really think they'll stop hanging around
This doesn't make any sense.

31 x 24 = 744 hours in a month
$9.95 monthly service fee, 5 hours free.
$4490 / 739 = $6.075 per hour if you kept it on 24 hours a day.
AOL was never that high.
Do you moderate this informative or funny?
:-D
I can't tell if it's a joke!
::B5 fan::
Just opened the print version (which has a pic :),
Vendor Information:
Hammer PacketSphere, starts at $50,000. Available: Now.

Agreed.

That too. :)
Which also adds to the expense.
Because print journals have more credibility.
It is much easier to set up a web page than a magazine.
Ok. Then use a big knife or sword. Or baseball bat. There are always weapons.
Two possibilities
1) We're the first form of life an alien race has ever found, and they are interested in studying us; alien antropologists. And want to remain hidden away perhaps for centuries.
2) They know more about the universe than us and are able to travel at near or greater than the speed of light. Warp drive, subspace, jumpgates, instant transmission, transporters, something undiscovered by us as of today.
And Bush won a whole bunch more states than Gore.
Our current system helps the smaller states, it gives them more voice.
It's a compromise.
Desktop publishing and an easy interface was the killer application for the Macintosh platform, who had both first.
