well...the simple reason for a better file system is simply shit happens
On one of our old systems, the network admin asked what a button did as he pushed it. It was the power button. At another time the same guy accidentally dropped a pencil that hit the same power button (actually a rocker switch) again. Someone else was curious as to what the inside of that machine looked like, so they opened the swinging back door of the case, which caused the system to power down (oh that poor TI 1500)
Power cords get tripped over. UPS's fail. UPS software does odd things. Hardware fails.
Yeah...you have backups. Those fail as well, and restores take time. A journaling file system takes a few seconds after an abnormal startup to fix itself.
Just think of it as yet another layer of protection beyond the UPS and backup tapes. And of course it helps get the ladies:)
and what if grandma buys a Panasonic 2.4Ghz cordless phone? Of the young couple next door buys a 2.4Ghz baby monitor (which works pretty nice as long as I don't use my wireless:)
Only real difference is that AOL has the ability to mass market. I would also home that they would have the ability to disable the 802.11 parts of the receive if you don't have broadband, thus negating most of these worries - otherwise I'm gonna move near a huge deployment of these and surf from my iPaq EVERYWHERE!
There is also an apcupsd. This way, you can have one machine that is hooked to the UPS (no need for additional hardware to let multiple machine monitor the UPS.) When power goes down, the apcupsd then lets the other servers know what is going on (power off, power on, shut down now, etc...) Ports to Unicies galore, and winders.
This all assumes that you have the network on a UPS and with the power out all machines can still talk.
Pretty nice tool with tons of options. http://www.apcupsd.org (oddly, with the exception of the what's new pages of the docs, the url isn't listed in the docs.)
Of course, I like my option - buy a UPS with enough capacity to hold the whole room for about 30 minutes (40KW) and a big ole generator in case things go down for a while.
isn't it easier to read the damn article instead of making assumptions.
There you will learn that instead of buying tons of cameras, he is friends with a local store that would rather give them away/pitch them than go through the hassle of sending them back to Kodak for reuse.
I've heard of another technique where they genetically engineer a local weed so that it glows in the dark (or something) in the presence of certain fumes given off by mines. Seed the field with these modified plants, wait a season (so it's obviously not practical for military use), then look for the glowing bits...
Or...just look for the explosions caused when planting the seed:)
I agree - the font thing is easy to fix - unless there is some copyright issue on the fonts.
I just don't get X. It was more or less okay speed wise on my 386/33 years ago. It should be fast as light now, with better cards/drivers, etc...since not much has changed in X itself. I guess Gnome, KDE, E, etc... add a LOT of bloat.
I used to render some stuff on my 386-33, and then at the last Atlanta Linux Showcase (1998?) they had some beowulf cluster or something running. The display showed something that looked like a quilt of liquid metal with reflections being rendered. It was moving around as if alive.
Then they said that each frame (at about 30fps) was being rendered real-time by PoV.
Had what you were talking about taking Lightwave from a 486DX4-20 to a dual PentiumPro200 machine. Slow as hell now:)
But I don't care about fine art. I don't go out and buy a Monet or Nagel or something, bring it home and then try to figure out why I paid so much.
I do care about food and meals that I like, I took the time to learn how to cook. Sure - I may not do it like a professional, but I know how to make a curry chicken I like, and can make some good cheesecake, which was quite a learning experience.
Clothing - bah...I can buy what is comfortable and fashion is an insiders joke. But I have no interest in that (okay....victoria secret fashions:)
But joe user goes out and buys a Tivo or VCR - obviously they have some interest in it.
I just bought a $700 telescope - damn well better believe I've read a lot about both telescopes and astronomy. If I bought a piece of electronics that was $700 I'd rtfm as well. Hell...I read the one for my $200 DVD player.
As for the mind-blowing orgasm...what's not part of your aptitude is your problem:)
Get back to me after you've installed Windows, Visual Studio, MS Office, Photoshop, mIRC, some snmp tools, IIS, etc...
Yeah...the media may be bloated, but you don't have to choose "Install everything". Get back to me when you can install WinXP and IIS without the bloat of the GUI.
The media is cheap so why not pack it. Much prefered to the "here's the OS, go buy/download everything else"
YES.... that was my biggest gripe about the movie. It all took place at night or in dark rooms. Even the inside of the TARDIS was like looking in a black hole.
True - but it seemed to be more part of the charm of the show. The Dr chasing some sontaron down with Bessie was quite different than what they put in the Dr Who movie.
In the old episodes, it just felt more like part of the plot. In the movie, it seemed more like "okay...how do we include a car chase"
The line tech brought the modem, tested the signal strength, proved what a good 'ol boy he was and left. Had the modem hooked up to my machine and online in 10 seconds after he left.
When the techs came out and "installed" my line, they recommended the Linksys model cause they saw the 5 computers sitting by the modem (sadly, still only have the main one and the notebook online - kids take a lot of time!). I showed them my Linux router. They installed the alternate dial-in numbers and setup Outlook for me, explaining that it was what they were required to do to cover their assess. I told them I understood and not to worry about it. (Didn't have the heart to tell them I was gonna reformat that weekend anyway!)
I can see the server issue somewhat - what if they get/.ed. Then again, with bandwidth caps, that becomes somewhat of a non-issue.
The same thing goes for the Broadband routers. It reminds me of the 80's when the cable companies insisted you pay for every TV hooked up - no splitters unless they were authorized. This was fixed and it was decided that the cables companies rights ended at the wall to your house.
So why not the same thing for broadband connections? Why am I not allowed to have my desktop and notebook on at the same time? My modem limits the amount of bandwidth I can pull, so that can't be it. (Actually, they are probably worried that instead of bursting at 500K I'd be able to use a sustained 500K, which I can do with one machine:)
Same thing with the Wireless really - just means it's not tied to where a wire runs. I guess their worry there is that my neighboor might get free service off me with a wireless card (can't even get a signal in the neighboors yard!)
If you want to sell me 500K/128K service, then do so and fuck off. Don't tell me I can't run a server on that 128K, so I can web in and check callerID logs. Don't tell me what machines and OS's I can use to pull down the 500K. Don't put a transparent proxy between me and the web. Don't block incoming port 80 requests. Just give me the pipe and accept your checks.
Based on this implausible hypothesis, Ford argues that the pointer to the IP address violates the "Federal Trademark Dilution Act" by "tarnishing" the pristine image of the brand associated in the media of late with so many SUV rollover accidents

C'mon...it's been in the 3.x release series for as long as I can remember. LW is at 7 now and even Maya is at 4.
;)
How can this be any good. Perhaps they should release POVRay2002 instead.

reminds me a reverse of the blue three-wheel car that was Mr. Bean's nemesis in a couple of episodes.
You forgot the Krusty Komedy Klassic was being held at the Appollo Theater.

I still think that digital watches are a neat idea.
Rugrats in Paris. My daughter has it and I just saw it finally on Sunday - hilarious...plenty of references to other things that the kids don't get.
Yup...she's not 18 with a chest like a deck cannon and a 5" waist and negative IQ.
Give me a break...there is nothing at all wrong with this lady.

Actually, I would have it 1/7th filled as soon as it came in. If I brought my 500 CD's to work, it'd be even higher!

Ordered a server today - was told not to scrimp. It has about 700GB of diskspace and needs about 50GB.
Actually, I think it's a pay-by-the-case thing. We have a MSDN subscription and get a few freebies a year for "non-production" issues. ;)
One time we called them with a DFS issue, they never could come up with an answer other than reinstall the whole domain.
