I am glad the mid level scsi stuff now works correctly with SAN environments but I wish opengfs and or ocfs had made it into the tree before the feature freeze. I guess for now I have to just resort to running a proprietary clustered file system.
Plain and simple I pay a premium price for 1.5 and by god if some fool is not paying and using my pipe then lock his ass up and throw away the key. Ok the FBI might have been a little over kill, but they need to pay dearly for stealing others service.
And I am going to enjoy sitting outside your business with my wireless sniffer watching your employees entering everyones CC number. Now tell me how useful it is....
I know this is probably redundant but the only real use for this is DRM control. How better to handle DRM than not allowing the video stream to the monitor.
But does firewire support multipath io with load balancing? A single point of failure in the hardware is unnaceptable. On a more serious note this is great as it allows for developers to test on cheap gear. That san with fiber channel we just bought for our clusters was one expensive dog.
You can bet your sweet ass that was sanitized screens you where looking at. When I worked in the navy command center we where frequently visited by the press and if they had camera's we threw bogus stuff on the screens to sanitize the area before entry. So what you see is completely bogus smoke and mirrors.
Why on earth do idiots feel the need to bastardize everything. This whole thing is about PPOE not MTU size. The better solution is to get rid of the bastardization (PPOE) .
I just gave a linux presentation to a partner vendor company of ours yesterday. The one thing you have to remember is that neither one our companies produces commercial software. Both of our business's are in the manufacturing areana. We showed them our manufacturing terminals running kde and our custom applications and needless to say they where shocked at the simplicity and capabilities. The only thing they cared about was the incredible way it brings computing everywhere at a very low cost. Being a manufacturing company it allows us to expand our computing environment at little cost. During a rough economy this allows us to take deep product cost cuts to take business from our competitors. The use of linux is a competitive advantage, plain and simple.
I see alot of doubtful slashdotters but I can tell you that anyone that has seen a navy CIWS close in weapons system fire at a inbound drone traveling at MACH II does not doubt the trajectory technology. The CIWS never misses and as a matter of fact will continue to shoot individual pieces as well as the plane towing the cable all while being perfectly aimed by computer. So don't think for a moment they cannot calculate and fire on something moving even faster than a artillery shell.
You can bet your sweet ass that if I have a choice between a card or some hardware that comes with source or a binary driver your binary driver can pack sand along with with the lost sale. I admin clusters for a living and if I ain't got the source I cannot compile a reliable kernel so I have no need for your hardware.
I pay extra for the fastest connection I can get. If you illegally uncap your modem you are stealing pipe that I paid for. Hell I will go so far as to turn in anyone I find doing this also, I pay for mine you pay for yours. Face it people bandwidth is a limited resource and it very expensive.
I am the biggest MS hater on the planet but the judge just handed us a big ole blessing in disguise. She just handed them the rope that will end up hanging them. They will most certainly use this big opportunity to turn the screws tighter on the competition as well as their own customers. This is going to continue to lead to more customer revolt, exactly what it happening today.
I know damn well that you are going to have problems using my GPL code in a commercial application and then selling it. This means that the GPL is working for me exactly as it was intended. You have absolutely no right at all to profit from code that I wrote. A company exists to make a profit but it has no rights, only the voting public has rights.
Slashdot Mirror
Hardware purchases at my company go like this....
COMPANY: Does it run linux?
VENDOR: It will soon!
COMPANY: Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

No it will include DRM control thus avoiding the need to disclose the API....game over....

I have three computers at work and another three at home and you will never ever find a microsoft product on any machine of mine...

It don't matter what the hell he is talking about as a enterprise customer I ain't buying your shit if it does not come with source drivers.

There is a lot of gas laying around in storage tanks also but me going to the gas pump and not paying is illegal and rightfully so.

All well and good but you cannot run W2K with macines with personal data on them, since that macine would then be violating the Federal HIPPA.
All your base!
Hell my win98 box can get 112 hours of uptime, that aint shit. I got nix boxes that have been running for 600 plus days.
No need to worry about that with perl code. The syntax is so damn ugly it looks binary anyhow. Just remove the comments and ship away!

Our great Wisconsin representative Ron Kind is a aol user RonKind2002@aol.com . This makes it obvious that somebody is targeting the most ignorant.
Just goes to show there is really justice in this world.
