  1. Re:you're doing something wrong on Horizontal Scaling of SQL Databases? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Relational databases scale to pretty amazing heights

    Horizontally?

  3. Re:No. on Is a US High-Speed Railway Economically Feasible? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And to clarify, for the haters. Government subsidized anything is not economically feasible. Privatized rail and you'll have competitive free market stuff to determine what's feasible and what's not, then the question won't matter except to Entrepreneurs and investors.

    Next question please.

  5. Re:Why wait till you leave? on Employees Would Steal Data When Leaving a Job · · Score: 1

    The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, and this magazine, and the chair and that's all I need. I'm not some kind of jerk, after all.

  6. Re:Question about integration with other languages on R In a Nutshell · · Score: 2, Informative

    JRI sounds like you want, but rJava is there when you want the reverse.

    Similar things exist for Python, Perl and probably others.

  8. Random? on 178 Arrested In US/EU Credit Card Cloning Ops · · Score: 1

    SecurID is pretty much the exact opposite of a random number.

  9. Re:Skynet began with bored surveillance-monitoring on Software Describes Surveillance Footage In AI-Generated Text · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't you rather play a nice game of chess?

  10. Re:Linux can handle it just fine on Seagate Confirms 3TB Hard Drive · · Score: 3, Informative

    Not exactly a "noob's" guide, and it hasn't been updated in awhile, but: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/

    Think of LVM as a layer of abstraction between physical devices (your disks and/or arrays) and the logical devices that you can then put a filesystem on. LVM lets you break your physical disks into bite-sized pieces called extents (say, 32MB each, but it's configurable), and then you can add/remove extents to a logical disk device. If you have a filesystem that supports it, you can then grow/shrink the filesystem to use the space you've allocated.

    There are also other benefits (snapshots, etc.).

    Wait...LSD is a "soft drug?"

  21. Re:Or or course you might go with close source... on CentOS Project Administrator Goes AWOL · · Score: 1

    Just by way of example, Firefox 3.0.0.12, which fixes several zero-day vulnerabilities, is still not backported to RHEL 4.

    They're not exactly zero-day vulnerabilities if anyone's known about them (like the software vendor) for more than zero days or so.

    Thanks for describing XMPP.

  23. Why 18? on Japanese Government to Regulate Online Communication · · Score: 1

    Why would Japan target this stuff at those under the age of 18, when official Japanese adult-hood starts at age 20?

  24. Re:Wow, and accurate assessment! on Make Linux "Gorgeous," Says Ubuntu Leader · · Score: 1

    Calling 10-years-ago (1996) dpkg "damn good" is stretching it a little. dpkg was mediocre at best until apt came along in '98, and it took apt a little while to get into the swing of things.
