Yeah, I'm not looking for credit or money or anything, just acknowledgment that my attempt to be helpful was actually seen by a human. As it stands I'm less likely to send corrections in the future.
Although a Valentine's Day card would have been a nice gesture...
I've read the majority of this book and overall it's pretty good. However, even considering that this is a first edition book there are quite a few mistakes (mostly editing... grammar, spelling, etc).
I made a list of corrections that I sent to both O'Reilly and the author which were ignored. I think O'Reilly is getting too arrogant and it's going to hurt their reputation.
I haven't read all the responses so I apologize if any of this is a repeat.
When I interview people I'm mostly looking for real-world experience or at least the ability to learn what we need a candidate to do. However, as I work for a major university who is a primary employer in the community, I also have to abide by their rules. For many of the full-time positions we open you have to have a degree to even be considered. It doesn't matter where that degree is from or even what it is, but if you don't have a degree you won't get an interview. A degree can open doors that are simply closed if you don't have one. (But again, it doesn't matter where that degree is from.)
I don't like it, but there's nothing I can do about it. My advise is to play the system and get your degree any way you can. After you have it, nobody will care where it's from or even what your GPA was.
We've had two different 3ware hardware RAID cards without any problems in the last 3 years.
I've done software RAID as well using Promise IDE controllers. Fortunately for us we never had a drive fail in the software RAID so I can't comment on how difficult it is to recover from a failure.
Interestingly enough, we ran some fairly intense iozone tests on both the hardware and software RAIDs with very little difference in performance (maybe that's why the parent poster doesn't like the 3ware stuff). But... we also ran these same tests with a fibre-channel SAN disk, again with very little performance difference.
Maybe it was a Bus limitation... I didn't have time to investigate it any further.
Typically only the Deere construction equipment is yellow, all of the tractors, combines, etc are green. It probably has something to do with visibility on a construction site.
Now, interestingly enough, the Standard series Gator (which I believe this was built from) actually does come in an almost military green color. It's also going to run you about $11k retail if you want the diesel engine.
I'm not interested in commercial products even if they were available. I guess I should have been more clear. I'm assuming people have built prototypes, I'm curious how much I can expect the hardware to run me if I built it myself.
Can anyone with experience with this give me a cost estimate on what it would take to setup a point-to-point 802.16 connection? I'm looking at about 7 miles (well with in the supposed 30 mile limit).
I actually have the Swiss Army
WebSak
which is a backpack style. I swear it's the best bag I've ever owned and it even easily fits my Dell Inspiron 8100.
I lived with one of the grad students for 4 years. I like to think me and the other Special Sauce Ninjas had a lot to do with his development as an undergrad. Our constant harrassment helped him develop an amazing resolve and the willpower to ignore any temptation in the face of his work.
I agree, that makes sense for those of us that can keep all of that straight, but I would argue that anyone that can keep l337 straight can probably already remember a good secure password and wouldn't be using the inkblot system. The majority of your inkblot users would still be picking regular letters.
The problem is that they are still using only letters in their example. The chance exists that the random letters could accidentally form a word that IS in a dictionary.
Using two inkblots as an example, let's say I see "Red banjO" and "Orange raT"
Using their first and last letter algorithm I end up with password = root. Oops.
In fact, when I worked for a research lab at a University, we had researchers that didn't even know _how_ to use Windows. They'd been using Sun/Solaris for so long in the lab that when they ordered a PC for their home they were completely lost when it showed up with Windows on it.
It explains that one of the main purposes of the PS2 cluster is to develop software for parallel computing and gain insight that may improve future game console technology. PS2s seem like pretty cheap hardware to do the development on (especially if they were donated by Sony.)
Sony learns more about their hardware and the research community gets software out of it. I can think of a lot worse ways to spend tax dollars.
If SCO is in the right here and they have code examples, why would they make them public before going to court? All that does is give IBM/RedHat/SuSE and the open source community time to fix the problem.
If they keep it a secret, they can sue for lost profits and then still charge for royalties until the code is changed. Why would they give their enemy a head start? That's just not smart business.
(Disclaimer: I don't like SCO, I'm just saying "what if" here)
I totally agree. Every experience I've had with Caldera/SCO products was horrible... granted, it was their Linux products (I know nothing of their Unix).
Caldera's OpenLinux wouldn't install on newer hardware, I can understand that because it's pretty dated. So then I try the new SCO Linux (based on United Linux) and it wouldn't install on the older hardware that I had OpenLinux on.

I'd buy it.

AIX will destroy you. But, hey, at least it's not IRIX.

It's a 4 CD install. Good luck porting that to PS2.
I fully support your response and the immigration of Canadians into the U.S. We need more sane people in this country.

Is line-of-sight necessary?
The Kerberos Dialogue should help explain a little bit about what Kerberos is. I like it because it shows why certain design decisions were made.
I don't believe anyone has mentioned it yet, but so far I haven't heard that the Heimdal Kerberos distribution is affected.
Indeed. Not only that, the wet grass will dull your blade more quickly and then you'll be ripping grass even when it's dry.
Unfortunately, the Midwest has been pretty wet this spring and I've had to mow a few times when I would've prefered to wait.

All we have to do is carry around a D20.
I've seen Captured by Robots twice when they've come through Champaign, IL.

Aaahh.. I didn't realize that. That makes good sense, thanks.
