  1. Re:Easy! on 'The Hobbit' Pub Threatened With Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    And in Kalamazoo there is a Bilbo's pizza/brew pub. There theme is middle-earth related. Just ate their this past weekend.

  2. Best GUI is one that runs CLI in the background on The Case Against GUIs, Revisited · · Score: 1

    ${SUBJECT}. GUIs that do things in the background using the CLI are really the best that I have used. You get the benefits/eye candy of the GUI, but can script anything you need. Examples are Veritas volume manager and their cluster manager (hagui). They even get bonus points for logging the GUI's command line calls in a log file so you can see what was done. You do it once in the gui and then script the other dozen/hundred actions. (Or, help maintain a change log of the system for recover/rebuild purposes.) EMC's Legato used to do it as well. (Up to early 7.x, not sure how the newer 7.5/7.6 is doing things.)

  3. Re:wonder what the story is here on Musician Jailed Over Prank YouTube Video · · Score: 2

    County prosecutors are elected. See the 2008 election results (ctrl-f/search in document for "prosecutor"). And there is of course the the prosecutor's web site.

  5. Come and see it up close on The Home-Built Dark Knight Batmobile · · Score: 1

    You can see it this week at the Kalamazoo Harold Zeigler car dealership on Stadium Drive.

  6. Re:Irish need not log in? on Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Remember the XKCD comic from a few years ago?

  7. Re:Well, YOU had 6 months... on ClamAV Forced Upgrade Breaks Email Servers · · Score: 1

    If you had joined their announce mailing list and you would have know about this issue 4 times over the last six months.

  8. Re:So you had 6 months to upgrade on ClamAV Forced Upgrade Breaks Email Servers · · Score: 1

    And they also sent out 4 separate e-mails to their announce mailing list over the last six months with the most recent last week. See the archives at http://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-announce.

  9. Re:Alternative on ClamAV Forced Upgrade Breaks Email Servers · · Score: 1

    I mentioned this in a reply above....

    Is there reason that you were subscribed to their announce mailing list? If so, you would have know about this issue months ago. Plenty of time to upgrade/test/deploy even in the most restrictive environments.

    See http://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-announce for the archives and subscribing information.

  10. Re:Alternative on ClamAV Forced Upgrade Breaks Email Servers · · Score: 2, Informative

    Join their announce mailing list at http://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-announce and you will be notified about these type of things.

  11. Re:Alternative on ClamAV Forced Upgrade Breaks Email Servers · · Score: 1

    Any reason that you did not do what the organization requested?

    From http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/download/sources/ it states:

    Please subscribe to our freshmeat project page or clamav-announce to receive notifications of new stable releases and RCs.

    They sent out a couple of notices about what was going to happen.

    I will give the poster a little leeway in that this notice is only on the source download page and not the parent download page or the other distribution download pages.

  12. Re:Kalamazoo Promise on High-Tech Start-Ups Put Down Roots In New Soil · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Kalamazoo Promise Details - no need to worry about college tuition raising faster than your 401K or inflation. And the poster above saying that 38K is enough for a family should have added that it is also enough to send the kids to college with the Promise.

  13. Re:pop. 600,000 (and up) on High-Tech Start-Ups Put Down Roots In New Soil · · Score: 1

    I would not look at just a cities population, but rather look at Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA).
    See <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_United_States_Metropolitan_Statistical_Areas>. I think that gives a better representation of potential jobs.

    Note that Kalamazoo's MSA is rated 148 if sorted by population (323,264). Ann Arbor's is 141 a mere 26,739 more (350,003).

    Within a hour's drive there is also Grand Rapids (66th by pop. - 776,742), Lansing/East Lansing (106th - 456,440), South Bend, IN (149th - 316,639), Holland/Grand Haven (171th - 259,206), Niles/Benton Harbor (251th - 159,589), and Battle Creek (293th - 136,615). So within about an hour's drive you have a population of about 2.5 million. Not bad. This puts this area between to Orlando-Deltona-Daytona Beach, FL CAS (2,693,552), Pittsburgh-New Castle, PA CSA (2,446,703).
