  2. Re:Root in dev environments only. on Linux in a Business - Got Root? · · Score: 1

    yep, I totally agree with you.

    I always ask users to install their applications under an application username and group, this stop all problem and software/dba admin can do their job without asking someone else to run a command.

    If this is an old application that must be run in root, I add some of the command that he must use, for that application only, in a sudo file. It doesn't cause problem if you inspect files/script before adding them to their sudo.

    Developpers and dev-group/machine, in my experience, always had their own systems, with root access, in a different network. All I do for them is installing the system and configure the network, after that, it's their machine and if they ask me to repair it, they must have a pretty good reason (and escalation)! hehe

    I didn't really use both a lot, but I tried to set up an Open LDAP server with some modification to the default templates, it was a fucking HELL to make it works!

    Netscape Directory is sooooooo but soooo easy to install, manage (with a little gui if you want), replicate. It's really important in a big environment with thousands of users and hundreds of servers that really on ldap servers! I would never do that with OpenLDAP!

  5. Re:Irony on Kyoto Treaty to Enter Into Force · · Score: 1

    eh, and how would signing Kyoto directly affect this?
    I mean, we are talking about using less thermal power, to support green and clean energy, to change for more efficient anti-pollution systems, to put more emphasis on the public transport, to ask people to recycle more (instead of incinerate everything), to develop new clean technologies, cleaner engines, cleaner processes, etc..

    And, if I am not wrong, all theses activities require jobs, new jobs, new businesses, no?

    And don't say that Kyoto is what is needed to lose jobs to cheaper countries, just look on how much jobs USA lost in the 5 last years, and Kyoto was not involve.

    Market is changing, what all countries like USA, Canada and Western Europe are victims are called globalization. Kyoto or not, we will still lose jobs to those "not-as-developed-as-our countries". Markets are changing, and countries like us need to adapt and develop new economies with new markets, specialized jobs; we can't live in the economy of 20 years ago...

    Saying that the environment is less important than manufacturing job is just retarded, sorry. We are talking about not only yourself, or myself but about our children, their children, which disease will kill me, our civilization, our home, our earth..
    If you are saying that all those greenhouse gas are natural, won't make any difference to us, won't change the temperature of the earth, well, I hope that, at least, you are a scientific or you studied and read all the papers that went out on the subject.
    Else way, it's like theses presidents of tobacco companies swearing in the 80-90 that cigarette was not dangerous and that there was nothing that could addict you..

    heh, yeah I received one too for sharing an episode on bittorrent!
    What I find absurd, it's that I do not live in the US and Stargate Atlantis was not (and is not) playing here yet! ;)

    I already received another bot letter from Paramount Pictures for sharing a movie of them on edonkey a year ago.

    I did not stop using p2ps, I just use them in a smarter way.

    Only bittorent, they can't browse what you share, just see it if you download/upload it from/to them, and I use mldonkey with "Guarding for mldonkey", which is an IP blocker to stop rogue connections.

    not really, since the avg bandwith is definied as:

  20. Re:Bandwidth costs money - FALSE! on Rogers Cable Plans Fees to Curb Bandwith Hogs · · Score: 1

    LIE!

    I worked in a Telecom company, and we were offering multi-home internet service.
    we were using connexion with major backbone supplier (WorldComm, AT&T and Teleglobe), and they weren't charging for bandwith. We rented a Full OC-3 and full DS-3, if we downloaded 1 Terabyte a month, or 1 gig a month, it wasn't important for them, what they wanted, it's 12 000$/months for their circuit.

    And for our customer, we were selling a link, a circuit caped to 5 mbps as an example. If they were using only 2 mbps as average used bandwith on it, we were charging them the price for a 2 mbps but if they downloaded 150 gigs or 15000 gigs, the price wasn't changing, it was the same since it was caped to 5 mbps.

    Others companies (like Videotron, Group Telecom, Primelink, ...) that rent circuits to big backbones provider are selling an OC-3, as an example, to 21 customers by saying that they are offering an OC-3 to each customer, price is lower for each one since they sell the backbone 21 times, but theses providers needs to put a kind of download/upload ratio (transfer), since they want to put the more customer they can on the same OC-3, so that the OC-3 won't be used full time by a customer.

    So it's the same for cable provider, customer are something like 128 to 256 on the same circuit, so they want to put more customer on the same circuit without having to pay for a new circuit to the backbone provider.
    a byte cost nothing to transfer.. a gig is the same!
