A good friend of mine wrote an app called Syncness that will sync music between a windows file share and an android phone. You can use it for other stuff beyond just MP3's though. I'd recommend giving it a try!
If this can be independently verified, I think they have just earned a trip to Europe!
I wonder how it calculates the Higgs field vs. what the LHC discovered this year.
With all due respect, what does Virginia have to do with it? You do of course realize that WEST Virginia is a different state than Virginia? FYI - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Virginia
We even have our own congressmen, senators, and a governor, believe it or not!
I have no idea of the scale of this island, but I find it strange that it has the basic contours of a ship. Is it possible a ship was originally pictured and misidentified?
I fully agree. In fact, when this first happened, I remember the team saying they were sure they had missed something and wanted help figuring out what they had missed. Seemed to me that they were using the scientific method exactly as it should be used. All I can figure is that there were politics or other internal pressures.
This was discovered by a doctor, William Coley in the 19th century, and used effectively by him to treat a number of cancers. It has been called Coley fluid or Coley Toxins.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the method you described sounds almost exactly like LVM Snapshots. A great approach, and saves a ton of disk space.
How often should a VM be rebooted or re-cloned though? Memory is a lot more volitile than disk storage, so I would think that the longer the system runs, the more divergent the memory stacks would be, thus the less efficient this method would be over time, or am I missing something?
Thanks!
I am a professor at a regional community college, and we have a course designed for exactly the skills you are asking about. We also have a division called Workforce and Community Education. This division's job is to provide credit or non-credit training to businesses and industry in our region. Almost every community college has a similar component. Ours would jump at the opportunity to provide a pre-employment test and/or training for a company like yours, and we (as any other equivalent school) already have the people and resources to do it. If you want to do it in house, you could probably just ask the computer science professor for a copy of their final in the equivalent course and modify it as needed, or hire them for a couple of days as a contractor to make it for you and have it fit your exact needs.
I fully agree that such testing is vital. Before I took this job I worked at a local chemical plant with 3000 employees. Our helpdesk of 10 people spent almost half of their time providing support to the same 7 or 8 employees in the plant. HR would never do anything about it, but there was a huge hidden cost in supporting these people by keeping them on. Also, some regular training on stuff for your current employees will help too, and you'd be surprised at how little it might cost doing it the way I've outlined. Good luck.
Actually, it could be a threat according to this theory:

It basically says that since extinction events on earth occur every 26 Million years, the orbit of an as-yet-unknown brown dwarf may be causing impacts on earth that lead to these extinction events.
So can we ethically allow mind-altering substances that are naturally (emphasis mine) present to exist in the water supply?
If a substance is naturally occurring, that means we didn't put it there. How are we morally obligated to remove it if it is below any known threshold of danger? Would you propose that all water used by man be nothing but pure H20? I've got bad news for you, no municipal water supply is ever pure H20 - they add lots of chlorine and other stuff to make it more palatable.
It wasn't Eisenhower who wanted to bomb China with nukes, it was McArthur, and that (along with his perceived political desires for the presidency) is why he was removed. Sanity did win in that case.
VDI, where the desktop is a virtual machine in the server farm, is becoming big because of the ease of maintenance and deployment. Thin clients or re-purposed legacy equipment are a great way to access these VM's, but I've always had a hard time figuring out how to expose local serial and USB devices to the remote virtual machine. Anyone here know of a good free/OSS way to do this?
I think once there is a common way to do this, IT shops will use VDI more and more.
This may sound a bit ridiculous on the surface, but why not port WINE and GCC with its libraries to it - then most of the other stuff would get support through that.
Thankfully, I KNOW the time I was on Mars stopping a terrorist plot working as a double agent and found the oxygen plant is real. I know because I have Total Recall of all events... Err, Oh shit!
What surprises me about this the most is that the system was connected to the network/Internet at all. I had always been of the understanding that to prevent this, the signing server was a stand-alone system accessible only by sneaker-net with physical media. You take your package on CD/DVD/USB key to the server, sign it, then take the signed package back via physical media and distribute it.
One Federal Gov.t agency in my home town does this and the server is behind three locked doors too, with three different people needed to get physical access. Why didn't RedHat/Fedora do something like this? It really isn't that much of a pain in the ass when you think about it...
The SADMS utility is a good alternative that uses WINBIND and makes it point and click easy. Winbind doesn't scale well due to a lack of centralized posix-SSID mapping, but it is quick and easy for just a couple of servers or laptops.
When you don't evolve stuff you have a very good chance to end up with a whole bunch of ugly ad hoc fixes. Hey - don't make fun of Windows - this is a discussion about Google Gears...

Yes, we could call it Corbonite

Yeah yeah, on Kubuntu, it is called K-Spot.
By extension then, in Gnome, shouldn't it be called the G-spot???

1. Find popular open source program with lots of community support
/sorry - had to be said!
2. Build foundation around project & become head of it
3. ????
4. Profit!!!
