There's some code lurking in the amanda backup package I did a while back for "RAIT" (RAID with tape instead of disk) to make a stripe-set of tapes, if you need several tapes worth of data in one set, with redundancy.
On the other hand, while LT04 tapes are about half the price ($40) of cheap 1TB disk drives ($80), the tape drives are ablout $2k apiece, so depending how many data sets you want to keep, and for how long, the disk drives may really be cheaper...
Wouldn't you only see this sort of activity if you were
hosting a control node of the botnet? Or are you thinking
the botnet is scanning him by doing parallel distributed port
probes?
It would be clearer if we knew the destination port distribution
of these "stripes".
If its all to port 80, it could be there's a web page with a refresh that updates every few hours, and people happen to have it up on their screens...
Real dialup modems don't do anything nearly as smart as DNS.
DSL "Modems" are really full-blown routers, and generally have NAT routing setup, and DNS and DHCP servers. So yes, they can be vulnerable to DNS cache poisoning, and then you'll get some Phisher-pholk's server instead of your bank's.
One of the most important things you need to give managers is an idea of resource usage and trends. i.e. "peak load during Christmas season for the last 3 years indicates this year we're going to need a bigger router, and to split the traffic here across two systems", and how much that will cost, and what will happen if you don't do the upgrade. Big block diagrams of logical systems laid out on physical systems/networks/storage and usage levels on physical links,
combined with trends, lets them see why and when systems need to be redistributed.
Basically you want to give managers a warm, fuzzy feeling that they're getting their money's worth out of the hardware they've bought, and that they won't be losing customers due to down websites, etc.
You also want to let them know what systems are getting old/off warranty or are otherwise in need of replacement. And if every system you have is going to need replacing in 3 years, maybe some should get done early...
And these days, something that indicates how close you are to everything up-to-date on patches, etc. is a Good Thing. Antivirus reports from your AV package are good for keeping them mindful that you're always under attack.
Carbon nanotubes, with a tensile strength of up to
100 GPa, are the strongest material ever discovered [10].
To exploit this superior property for practical applications,
individual carbon nanotubes have been assembled into
macroscopic fibers [11,12]. However, these macrofibers
show a very low tensile strength of less than 3.3 GPa
[12 15]. This is mainly due to the clustering of nanotube
ends, internanotube slippage and intrananotube defects. In
contrast, the CCTs have demonstrated much improved
mechanical properties compared to carbon nanotube fibers
of similar sizes. Figure 4(a) shows the maximum tensile
strength of 6:9 GPa of a CCT. ....
The CCTs synthesized here have a unique architecture
with rectangular macropores across the tube walls and
layered crystal structures in the solid walls. This unique
architecture renders them a combination of superior prop-
erties, including ultralight weight, extremely high strength,
excellent ductility, and high conductivity. These unique
architectural and physical properties give them great po-
tentials for a variety of advanced applications. For ex-
ample, the diameter and the length of CCTs are com-
parable to those cotton fibers and the tenacity of the
CCTs is 224 times that of cotton fibers. This suggests
that conventional textile technologies can be used to
make CCT fabrics that are much stronger than any current
fabrics for applications such as body armors and light-
weight, high strength composite structures. Other potential
applications include making in situ self-healing composite
structures, medical devices to deliver/release multiple
drugs simultaneously, and microelectromechanic al sys-
tems, to name only a few.
Of course, producing enough of the stuff and making the belt out of it is still
non-trivial...
Hmm.. $48k at 6% interest is $2800/year or $240/month. That's a pretty good
electric bill in a lot of places. Now whether it's sufficient to get rid of
their electric bill altogether, I can't say.
And of course, once you pay off the loan (5 years?) you're ahead of the game.
Actually, you don't have to keep electromagets powered up to store antimatter, either.
The "Recycler Ring" here at Fermilab stores antimatter with a fixed-magnet ring.
The magnets just keep those antiprotons turning around the ring.
From http://www.fnal.gov/pub/ferminews/ferminews00-12-15/p3.html:
The eighth-largest particle machine ever built, the Recycler is the only one of its kind. While its cousins accelerate particles to higher and higher energies, the Recycler will store and condense antiproton beams, keeping the beam energy at a steady 8 GeV. This fundamental difference allowed physicists Gerry Jackson and Bill Foster to propose the use of permanent magnets, and the Recycler ranks as the world's largest assembly of permanent magnets.
And yes, that is the Bill Foster who is now our Congressman...
Then you need a sampling of the classics: Niven (Ringworld), Simak (Time is the Simpest Thing), Harrison (The Stainless Steel Rat), Brunner (The Shockwave Rider), Stephenson (Snow Crash), Zelazny (Roadmarks)
Bradbury (Farenhieght 451, Martian Cronicles)...
Okay, maybe that's getting to be too much for one class.
Isn't this just making a library for web forms that act like an IBM 3270
terminal? I mean, they patented having a terminal that does field validation
decades ago. This is just an alternate software implementation of the
same thing, in a web browser.
Because the people who are asking them to take it down are silly, that's why. Things like coloring or drawing pictures (and talking about the pictures thus drawn) of traumatic events is good therapy. Removing something that supports that is silly.
So yes, the government should be accountable to the people. But they should also know when a few people are being silly and complaining about something that is actually worthwhile.
On the other hand, kids that are of a coloring-book age (like my 5-year-old) at this point probably don't remember September 11, 2001,
anyhow.
Given that the top 1%
own
about 40% of the financial wealth in the country, having them pay 90% of the income tax bill seems pretty reasonable to me.
When they get down to maybe owning 20% of the country's financial wealth, then maybe it's time to back off a bit on the taxes. But it doesn't seem to be slowing them down much.
And as a member of the top 20% of income, (who own over half the country's financial wealth) I pay a noticably higher percentage of
my income than someone who is poor. And I think that's fair too.
I can afford it much better than they can. And the Gates and Forbes and other top 1% of the country
can afford it even better than I can.
...and you'll never have to worry about *how* the content gets on the page. Make the browser do it just like you would by hand, and scrape the content after it's all rendered. Encrypted, generated by javascript, whatever.
Next we'll be teaching that gravity is "Just a theory" and that there are other reasons that things might fall to the ground, and that planets might move in their orbits -- if you believe in planetary orbits, that is.
I can hear the difference in several songs between compressed digitized formats and the CD I have of them at home. Some I like better, others not so much. (Although in my case, it's ogg, not mp3).
For example, The Cars' "Just What I Needed" sounds "cleaner", and I hear musical details in the right-hand guitar track I'd missed before, probably because the fuzz in the electric guitar tracks is simplified, and the stereo separation of the two guitar tracks is
exaggerated. So it's probably a less accurate rendering of their original recording, but I like it better.
If you look at thepublications from 1995 about the Top Quark, for example, you'll find that they do their best to present the odds that it doesn't exist and they only thought they found it (i.e. that it was "background"), and other such permutations, in a detailed error analysis. In particular they point out in the abstract that "we observe a signal... inconsistent with the background prediction by 4.8(sigma)"
Because a Pointy Haired Boss says "I don't care what the end user license agreement says! Install the software!." After five or ten rounds of that, the admin doesn't even ask his/her manager anymore. They just click "I Agree" in the box without asking.
Now if it's an actual paper contract that goes through a legal department, the story might be different; but it rarely is.
In places that speak the Queen's English, rather than American, a device with batteries and a light bulb is called a "torch", rather than a "flashlight".
Actually, if you look at the Obama crowd, they (Jarret, Axelrod, etc.) are from the UofC/Hyde Park/Harold Washington Party crowd -- the folks that beat the Machine in Chicago, at least for a while.
You could argue that since then, a new and bigger Machine has evolved, I suppose, but I don't think that would be accurate.
Not to mention the crew making the funny shaped balloons with remote control fan propulsion, so it looks like all sorts of interesting experimental aircraft (spacecraft?) are being developed...
But the question is, would it have been any different if you hadn't skipped the grade? In retrospect, I don't think so. Kids would still pick on you for "blowing the curve", etc. Most of them probably never knew you were younger than they were, and picked
on you anyway.
Now being younger than everyone else in Jr. High school was just plain hideous; but Jr. High school is also hideous anyway.
And for me, at least, starting early got me off to college a year earlier, where the good folks at Undue Purversity put me in a classroom with 20 other kids who also tested out of 2 semesters of calculus, and I actually had to work and study to keep up.
A LAPP stack sounds kind of cool... Folks could call themselves LAPP-landers.
Of course, like LAMP as an acronym, it still suffers from the potential disagreement about
what the last P stands for (Perl, PHP, Python,...) (note preceding list is

... of space elevators, one potential use is that there should be a point on the elevator where if you let go at the Right Time, you are on course to, say, head to Mars.
