Seeing that your posting this comment you obviously aren't using the pro version. I through in a little bad grammar to test who was pro and who's not. However, I will have to assume that's what you are commenting about, because pro corrected it for me automatically.
Everyone complains about how capitalism is the downfall of our society and look at all the millions the CEOs are making, and all the money the Automakers are getting. Guess what folks. THIS ISN'T CAPITALISM.
Capitalism would let ALL of these companies fail. If you can't make a product that people want or need at an affordable price, then it's a product that should NOT BE MADE. If you are stupid enough to give a $300k loan to someone who makes $15/hour you should not be bailed out. If the goverment "TELLS YOU TO DO IT" then sorry, maybe you got the short end of the stick, but it's still no longer capitalism.
Wrong wrong, I'm using the 'Pro' version of slashdot. In the Pro version, all grammar is corrected. There's also the political distortion field. There's a slider at the top of the page that lets me choose ConservativeLiberal. By moving the slider everyone's comments are automatically refactored to reflect my beliefs. Go ahead, say something positive about B.O. I'll never see it! It also merges duplicate stories, merging their comments. And best yet, I NEVER have any missing poll options. It gives me a text field where I right in the correct answer, and then it's always the most popular.
I prefer to compare 1 day with spots and 1 day now, without and say "The sun has lots it's spots." I'll then go on to say that the sun will never again have any spots.
I thought that we gave him back to the iraqi people so they could determine his fate. I'm not saying that we didn't have a hand in it, but I'd think that if the military was executing, it would be firing squad. I was under the impression that the people of Iraq decided he was guilty and to hang him.
It's jabber based. Free as in beer for both the client and server.
Lets us save logs of all chat sessions between employees, lets employees also save chat if they want to. Lets us do some filtering, overall a pretty good client/server.
There's a number of decent forks of MySQL out there, time to look at them. People, list all of the forks you can think of here, I'll start with drizzle https://launchpad.net/drizzle
Drizzle's no good for me, I want those advanced features.
I'm really hoping that since this happened yesterday, it was Obama's idea of an April fools joke. If not, he's the fool. Apparently no one gave him nor our first chaw chewer the standard etiquette lesson before meeting the queen.
Actually, the audio ones are usually more compatible with the lasers in consumer audio equipment. I had an aftermarket kenwood deck in my car, back when the cheapest CD player you could get was $200. Some burned CD's worked, others did not. ALL of the ones marked AUDIO did. From what I read, it has to do with the substrate used. What I eventually learned, is that all of the ones with the gold substrate worked, the blue/green ones did not. (Or vice versa) And that all of the audio ones were of the gold variety.
And when I say they didn't work, at best they skipped every 5 seconds, at worst they got kicked out.
And, btw, I forgot which colors were good and which weren't. Examples are used for the sake of argument.
I also notice that most of my recent CD's are much closer to silver, like a pressed CD.
I can see more variance in cellphones because those are devices that are on 24 hours on battery and usage patterns are reflective of how many minutes a person has. So someone with 1000 minutes and unlimited sms/data is going to use theirs a lot faster than I, with 550 shared minutes and no data.
On laptops, I think we can get a little more predictability. First of all, I'd venture to say that at least 80% of the time, if the laptop is on battery, it's being used. I don't know of too many people who fire up a laptop and walk off. However the variance is in the type of use. A photoshopper or developer is going to put a lot more stress on the battery than a Word/IE user. A teen is going to stress it more than a octogenarian. And a gamer is going to beat it down more than anyway. Well, maybe not as someone folding@home.
I think the solution for this is for someone with enough clout to develop a standard test that cycles through heavy/light load every 20 minutes. Let it run until it powers off. I think this should be a 'measurement company' such as futuremark. HP/Apple/Dell are never going to agree on a test, but if futuremark creats 'wattmark' and it becomes standard, they'll all use it.
At that point the consumer can say, "Ok, this machine gets 6 hours on wattmark, I'm a LIGHT user, and I usually get 20% more than wattmark" or "I'm a gamer, and I only get half what wattmark says"
But with the vendors publishing their own magic numbers, and consumer has NO idea what THEY can expect out of that machine/battery.

Wow, I think that's reached a new level of picky;) I've never even paid enough attention to see if people looked a little squat/stretched or not.
The BGP idea was my first plan. I had two ISP's lined up that would agree to do it. I knew were to apply for the AS number... Then one of the ISP's asked me what kind of router I was planning on using. After being laughed at, I was told to prepare to spend big bucks for a router that would handle this.
True, but at least by using multiple transports you're reducing your chances of a cut. Your cable and T1 are going to come out of the bldg together and diverge pretty quickly.
Sonet is nice if it's available where you are already (and thankfully our building is already a stop) but for this guy, becoming a hop isn't going to be an option.
Depending on his location, he may want to look at microwave as the secondary transport.
If I had mod points, I'd give. This is the same thing we did, just different software. -get 2 ISP, I suggest different transports. We have one as fiber, the other is a T1. There's no point in getting 2 T1 from different companies if a bulldozer cuts them together. -Two dell 1950's -Set each up with vmware server -created 2 databases, replicating to each other -Created 2 web servers, each pointing at database on same machine -installed to copies of Hercules load balancer, vrrp + pen -set up failover DNS with 5 minute expiration.
Now, you may say, why the load balancers if you're load balancing with DNS? Because if I have a hardware/power failure that's one instance where the 5 minutes for DNS to expire will not incure downtime for my customers. It also gives me the ability to take servers offline one at a time for maintenance/upgrades, again with no dowtime.
I have a pretty redundant setup here and the only thing I've paid for is the software.
By posting links to MOVIES hosted in IRAN you have used the/. effect to saturate that entire country's available bandwidth. This is terrorism sponsored by the capitalist west! You have fired the first shot, but I ran WILL retaliate. You knew we had nukes, now we will prove it to the doubters. Kiss your precious Israel goodbye!
It'll take us a while to get the nukes into launch position though. The servos are these really cool little motors made out of water and electricity. They have to be really small, so we have a whole lot of them working together.
I was pricing some 1"PVC stuff today at lowes. It's pretty cheap at about $1.50 for 10 ft. Metal was much more expensive though. I guess PVC could still be eaten though.
Ok, that might be dangerous. How about you run a few more cables with the others and hook up some 110volts on it. I'd suggest using a red/orange/yellow cable and mark it on both ends. I'd also advise against putting regular ends on it. It probably wouldn't be good if someone plugged that into a switch. Just run a really long red ethernet cable, and put a lamp on the end of it;)
What I said is POSSIBLE, I didn't say it was practical;) Although, I have done this in the past, and there are 3 options.
1. Live with the fact that most of the time each port is underutilized. If the dropped packets aren't of life and death importance, this works out ok.
2. We had to track down something that was saturating our network, we needed every packet. We set every port to 100MB except for the monitor.
3. A waste of ports, and expensive but you don't loose anything... For each port in use, have one port be it's mirror. Set up your scanner with a bunch of network cards. This is very wasteful, so combine with #2 to cut back.
Anyway, I was just taking issue that both the summary and TFA were both acting like someone had invented something miraculous.
And my $200 24 port gigabit switch from Dell will do it. And that's a cheap piece of crap. For the 3 of you who don't already know, You specify one port on the switch to receive a copy of all traffic on the entire switch, a vlan or a specific port. Then you can hook etherial to that port and monitor all of the traffic without modifying the original. OOOOhhhh, magic eh?
Anyway, even after I RTFA, I still didn't see anything that this thing does that my cheap port and a P2 running etherial couldn't do.
What's that? Isn't that some small island nation somewhere? He silly poster, slashdot's for Americans;)
Sorry, couldn't resist. Anyway, I was hoping it would show that ocean below the ocean in the Gulf of Mexico. This isn't one of the hypoxia, dead zones, but an area of high salinity that has an actual border between it and the regular water above it. It was on one of the discovery channel series, but I forgot what it's called. Anyone know?

No no no, at godaddy they're only 29.95!!!! Only the highest quality stuff for the bank!
This can't be right. What do they classify as an add-in? Plug-ins the same thing?
What about my google toolbar? Without that, I'd never use IE.
And media plugins like flash, Quicktime, shockwave, etc? They can't get rid of that, it'd be suicide. Hell, even silverlight is an 'add-in.'
I know I'm wrong here, they would never block flash, so what does the "No Add-in" statement mean?

Do you know where I can find an adapter for that?
This is like:
Putting propellers on a 747?
Running the space shuttle on unleaded?
Or from the other end...
Using a chainsaw to cut down a dandelion.
