'Smart' UPS'es from various vendors properly attached to a server or network SNMP trap will tell you when its batteries are going bad (opr the telltale signs of the same). I think you guys need to step up from the $99 Costco UPS'es into something a little more reliable. Home consumer grade electronics have NO place in a commercial environment really (they can be pressed into service in a pinch).
yes but the lto tape and drives are expensive compared to 2tb sata drives. I'm guessing he doesnt have much of a budget, for if he did a 4 or 8 tape lto libray with attached to a san fabirc and striping to the tapes would be a good solution.
I've been playing wow on a fairly regular basis for a number of years now and always on a PVP server.
I've found that the majority of what you would call 'world pvp' is really just cyber-bullying. As I level new toons through the game, I find that the people who chose to engage me in PVP are players of significantly higher level than I. I can count on one hand the number of times a player of roughly equivalent level to me engaged me in what one would call a 'fair fight'. The VAST majority of PVP incidents I have experienced have been where my lowly level 20 gets 'ganked' by a level 80. Often, the level 80's are working in groups and attacking low level towns for long periods of time, effectively bullying the lower level toons populating the area. Well equipped level 80's of the same faction often come to help the low level toons drive off he bullies, but its usually a case of too little too late.
Battlegrounds and Arenas are popular as they make for a relatively 'fair' PVP fight and this much more enjoyable.
Linux does something very similar to SuperFetch from the sounds of it - I have no experience with, nor do I want to run Windows 7. I believe Linux has been doing this since 2.2 or 2.4 kernel came out.
The 27K a year is nothing compared to the wrongful dismissal suit the City of New York will likely have to settle. The court might just give the guy his job back and award damages plus costs.
I dont care what color your skin is. What I do care about is whether or not you have half a fucking brain and a good dose of common sense. If you lack these qualities maybe consider a career in accounting or marketing...
Check out the 'rootsh' package for a logged/auditable shell meant to be launched from sudo. When launched from sudo, it can provide a full root shell so it might not suit your needs.
The point is that NOBODY ELSE HAS DONE IT YET. Good to see up and commers trying to get it done, but when there is a couple of hundred million on the line, NASA and the US Govt will pay the $$$'s to their old buddies.
I seriously doubt that Scaled Composites or other 'up and commers' will have any serious shot at any dollars from this. I think we'll see more of the typical Big Business orientation that the US gov't tends to align itself with.
Anyone familiar with the 'time value of money' principle will tell you that rebates are not a worthwhile financial investment. You pay $100, and send in your rebate form. 30+ days later you get your rebate, but the company you paid you rebate to has had your money for that time.

I know lots of people not getting COLA's that already make below average wages. Nothing like working for less money next year than you made this year in real cashflow.
.. he feels the need to defend the decision speaks volumes about the community's negative feelings on the who;e deal. SCO attacked the basis for the Linux community and I daresay the open source community as a whole. To butcher Sun Tzu; 'the friend of my enemy is my enemy'...
No, it was over beers and I looked him in the eye and said 'that is comeplete and utter bullshit'. I guess I was trying (and apparently failing miserably) to be clever.

"...because a large percentage of firmware updates actually brick the hardware or cause other unforeseen consequences..."
I'd love to see the statistical data to back up this claim.

Of 6mb "hello world" executeables while using eiffel in university. Sigh
Sorry, I meant to refer to the overall worldwide ecosystem when I said 'gaia'.
And of course, nobody thought miniscule amounts of CFC's in aerosol cans would ever affect the ozone layer...
I wonder what a fleet of exo-atmospheric scrajets transports would do to the atmosphere. Do we have any idea about the potential impact to 'GAIA'?
You insensitive clod.

Anyone here actually administered autodesk systems? What a crapshoot...
5th element was on TBS this AM, and it shows Bruce Willis smoking a cig with about 3" of filter on it and an half inch of tobacco paper...
I miss the paw-print sweat pants. Except on the chicks with large bottoms from the College of Education...

Didnt I see this story sometime mid last week?
