well since no one else mentioned it, you can copy the target machine without even rebooting it, ssh root@target dd if=/dev/drive | dd of=/local/image.raw
After you dd it off you just need to use qemu-img convert -f raw -O vmdk oldfilename.raw output.vmdk, This seems to only convert it to work with virtual IDE controllers in my experience. Virtualbox can do it too probably a little more effectively.
Because its a country that has taken the steps to categorize and censor the internet to a set standard, at face value the intent is pure. But what does that mean? It means they have the power and most notably the interest to "blacklist and force offline certain websites without a trial.". So yea I'd say that's news, even if it isn't "U.S. news".
Moreover the fact that the riot was about the video has been debunked, a misleading suggestion that was put out early in the confusion to help promote the idea that the internet is bad and should be censored.
Really have to agree with the CrossOver bid, I used it to play wow ad Diablo 3. It's easy to manage your software, they essentially install something of a mock root and you can decide to put all the games you want to play in different groups.
I would say a more likely reason would be, they are moving scanners from larger airports were the staff is most likely a little bit more well trained (and funded) to filter a flood of passengers that are most likely constantly monitored when the enter the secure zone. To areas where security may not be taken quite so seriously, regional airports may have one plane coming in every 3 hours, maybe once a day. At that point the price of the 5 employees required to compensate for the absence of a scanner likely becomes burdensome. The monitoring site that would judge a passengers picture can be anywhere in "the cloud".
Surely though the safest way for all of this is to burn all the possessions of passengers and have everyone strip naked and stand in glass tubes during the flight, even the officers! Then all you have to worry about is the pilot surfing facebook, missing your airport and running out of fuel!
There's a very good reason for someone to want the police to department to have to do something manually, such as watching someone on a corner for 6 hours. Because if that person is under suspicion of a crime then there's actually a good reason for them to be under such surveillance. Taking a GPS device and attaching it to a car and claiming you know were that person was for 6 hours after that is the jump of logic that happens, shortcuts end up getting taken on something that requires slightly more interpretation than "this is were your car was".
If you could be monitored by an automated flying camera while walking down any street for a trivial cost of the enforcement agency then why would they not monitor all activity everywhere within their control. So is that so bad? Probably, everyone would be constantly concerned about their actions even ones that were completely legal. What if we used this system for predicting behavior based on the way people went about their day? then using that data to detain people for the calculated outcome. I would not judge that as a successful thriving society, because in a successful thriving society the people in that society should not have to be monitored to maintain a semblance of peace and order.
Take the example of traffic cameras in Maryland, how they are installing cameras to watch the cameras that are there to monitor cars. The issue around this system is that it appears to be more financially motivated. So is traffic enforcement just the tax you pay for driving your car as fast as you want?
Well you have to realize Aero was actually introduced on vista, it was very clunky with a lot of fluf and a everything was done just a little bit differently. I think its completely reasonable for users to complain.
Yea that's interesting actually, I just ran into this myself. We're putting a project together and when something breaks I end up doing small fixes and losing the changes across deployments (we only have 3 active) so its very small. But I feel your pain, I'm not totally convinced that a full SVN system is necessary but once you break down the problems it likely is. Given your closed infrastructure you may want to consider adding some phone home features to your scripts, something intelligent enough to auto update smoothly in an automated way or manually. Make things easy for yourself so they're not difficult to work with and you will be encouraging yourself (and others) to use it.
The absolute best advice I can give is keep it simple, there are a million different ways to do it, try not to do a massive migration of everything all at once or you may find out later that some minute bug is hindering everything you do.
Lastly plan what you want it to look like and how, it will save you weeks of work.
It does suck that she's such a b**** but that doesn't mean we have to circumvent the first amendment for her foolishness. It would be more appropriate to ask facebook to suspend her account, they aren't obligated to give her the platform to spread her "free speech".
It's to make it more attractive to Microsoft, Windows 8 was ported to ARM, this chip is in direct competition to that and makes it more attractive to Microsoft, who can make it more difficult to one of their competitors (Linux). The future of the next big processor shift could very well depend on the outcome of ARM vs x86. Apple is declaring the standard desktop dead and touting handheld iPads. If that was actually true, you'd want to be the one supplying the chips for tablets.
Ugh, sure its a great idea, but I'd be more interested in something that actually did address the logistics. In North Iowa near my hometown, there is a field that they keep the parts for some of the wind turbines, those tings are massive, the field is right next to the railroad tracks because these things are so massive. There's a whole slew of parts just waiting to be assembled into a productive turbine (or 20). But what about the power lines being run to these things? The cost to put one up? legislation that has to be navigated to accomplish all that, the unsung heroes of these kinds of big ideas are the ones who actually (figure it out) and get it done (Logistically).
People don't need to know wonderful and useful $Green_energy_of_the_week is, they need to know how realistic it is (or isn't). Ignoring the fact that you have an implementation problem doesn't make it look any more attractive when it comes time to write the check. Unfortunately that doesn't get much attention because it's the un-interesting part of the problem.
Then again at least they're honest enough to admit it, but then again the tweet only says, #TangoDown -- godaddy.com | by @AnonymousOwn3r. it appears to be the ASSumption of the original author that it was a DDoS.
but then again taking a look at some of the tweets, you get more of a "c'mon are we actually taking this seriously?"
Surely we can take some artistic Licences with the quotes from go-daddy as well! (From the article) Wagner also noted that the company has provided a 99.999 percent uptime in its DNS infrastructure. More importantly, he admitted that his team “let our customers down and we know it” and that “we apologize to our customers for these events and thank them for their patience.”
As we ask what year was that? Because you can count 2012 out!
Ok I do enjoy the first "I welcome our new parasite brain overlo....
Also if you do a little bit more reading, it also says that there was a staggering (lee low) 1,900 cases last year! well Ok so that's not a lot, and 85% of the cases were latino, 75% in the southern half of the state. Maybe the country to our south has this problem too! (sigh) what a completely fabricated Slashdot headline.
Aiee, and one more, I use XFCE too because its just too easy to right click an fix that annoying flashing icon that I'd rather not have in my face all day, why should anyone be subject to a nondescript list of "special features".
Absolutely! The crux of the problem with Linux is that it's so fractured, there are 3 major sound systems, OSS, ALSA and Pulse. I'm all for adding features, but step back and come up with a standard and stick with it!
The schizophrenia development model is why vendors don't want to put their time into it. If you install fedora 16 and use Gnome 3, it's nice but you'll find there's a memory leak after awhile, and to fix this you have to go 4 levels deep in libraries and dependencies to find the root of the issue!
- Come up with a repeatable standard
- Stick to the standard!
- Make it easy to work with and flexible
And remember the golden rule, just because we can doesn't mean we do.
I hacked in Linux since I was in High School and got lucky enough to have a chance to take some time off to go to a boot camp for Red Hat. It was easy and fun and turned out to be really challenging for a lot of people that I then interviewed for. I eventually found a company that (is) interested in using Linux as a router to do some traditional and not so traditional things for their customers. The downside is that I've been the only one with real linux Knowledge for about a year. Last week we hired two contractors and we're building out the stressful solution to OpenWRT. The thing that is fun and annoying at the same time is I'm constantly fixing things for the contractors within Linux.
Since I've started this job I work 12 hour days and most of my weekends and I can report at least for myself the one completely true fact, Linux has and insane set of tools at its disposal. There are networking utilities in Linux that seriously rival solutions Cisco can put together, the problem is not a lot of people have gone through the effort to tie it all together. Who knows, but if you want to get into Linux in a good way, don't go to a traditional data center, you'll be stuck working at "the standard" and wont get much freedom to try the really crazy stuff. Work your ass off to know everything you can about it and find a company that is interested in getting their feet wet. That is how you'll really get the big rewards out of it. And when someone says "that can't be done" remember, its probably because they just haven't figured out how linux/BSD/Unix CAN do it.
Slashdot Mirror
We can solve this with OUTSOURCING!
They're porting surface to Linux w00t, it'll probably be on Ubuntu first though shux ;-)
thank god, that's just what we needed to update or Twatter, that's what all the kids use now a' days right?

I wonder how that would do in a Beowulf cluster!

Can we wait until they finish suing Facebook before we declare prior art? Just this once
