The PERC4 are a great step up but you can still do better with your own cards.
Also, don't ever buy drives from dell. Buy them from Dell "parts and accessories" (the phone number that routes you over VOIP to India...)
You'll get the SAME, BRAND NEW drives from them, still under your normal warranty, still from Dell at about 1/2 or 1/3 of the price. Buy ten drives and they will really start to drop the prices.
U320 76Gig 10,000RPM drives == $249 direct from Dell! That's hard to beat. They'll sell you the drive caddy too for about 10 bucks. If the person refuses to sell you the caddy just call back and talk to someone else.
I just mention all the deaths that can be directed at Monsanto for shock value. It isn't just the cartels that cause death (unrelated to drug overdose deaths). Monsanto is responsible for killing the practice of sustainable farming in India and Africa among other places.
For those interested...go research the green revolution or take a good anthropology class on biotechnology or agri-business.
Actually, the issue is complex. It is easy to blame the drug cartels but there are serious socio-economic factors at work externally which create burdens and impact their conditions. Doesn't make it right, but it is a fact.
That said, consider Monsanto and the 1000's of suicides and lives lost in India and in parts of Africa as a result of their corporate farming strategies. They are an american corporation destroying sustainable farming techniques all over the world, eliminating bio-diversity for us now and for our children and just generally being rotten folks.
Go take a look at the scientific turnover rate at Monsanto, it's shocking. People can't stand working there for more than a couple years before they realize it really is an evil corp.
You do know they own patents to genes inside YOUR body right?
What is there to dislike about drug cartels? Seriously?
High prices and having to deal with sketchy dealers?
There are lots of things to dislike about them. They should really take a cue from the republicans who seem to have their corruption all figured out and well run.
We get these all the time. We treat each case differently. Often times I am able to tell the legal firm who contacts us that we aren't the ISP and that we have no control over the website. Surprisingly, that's often enough.
In this case, after talking with their lawyer on the phone and knowing him to be serious about making my life suck we contacted the site owner and gave them enough time to move their site without having downtime.
In other cases we've talked with the EFF, this however, was not the sort of case that would be worth the EFFs efforts. When we got the Diebold Cease and Desist, it was a matter the EFF decided to pursue (and recently 'won').
They sent my site, EveryDNS a bunch of threatening letters to take down a site that discussed techniques for winning these point games.
The weirdest part is that these points have no real monetary value and yet I was being threatened with a lawsuit for providing DNS to another site that had information about their games.
It's always upsetting when someone tries to pick on the little guys like me but it's even more annoying when they have NO CLAIM!
I'm not even going to get into the fact that I wasn't the sites ISP or network provider. I was so far removed and acting only as a part of the infrastructure and yet because I wasn't a big company, they picked on me. Can't blame them for being smart I guess...
Rip out the related code find somebody who has never worked on Mambo OS and give them a written (non-code or pseudo-code) description of what feature you want and let them just do it in 20 minutes from scratch.
I've never looked at the Mambo code nor the furthermore stuff but I know PHP like the back of my hand and there are plenty of people like me.
I don't even think this is one of those "but it's the principle" issues...just some miscommunications..
This falls directly WITHIN the definition of FAIR USE.
You can bet the EFF will jump on this case and fight it hard. This is the sort of thing that XM will likely not settle out of court and this is also the kind of case the EFF lives for. This is actually great news.
Yeah, I don't care about child porn but I can imagine some art installations where children are nude and that being considered child porn when others might just consider it avant garde.
I mean, what do you call a black and white photo of a naked baby?
anyways, my point was just that if you were going to look for a data haven then you would want a hands-off place and not a place with strings.
If I was of the mind to host at HavenCo I would probably also be of the mind of not wanting someone else to decide what is art and what is child porn.
I'm not saying I want to see naked kiddies and call it art, I'm just saying I wouldn't want their polcies and judgement being in control of my content.
a haven is a haven, not a haven with strings attached. There are data havens out there but they aren't on the intarweb...
I'm sorry that happened, but I think you've missed the lesson here:
Great technology isn't enough, you need the winning team and business side to go with it.
I'm not a fan of business things and legal issues either but they are needed and you can't go into situations without the smartest people on your side of the table...that's just how it works, unfortunately.
In fact, if there's a problem with you getting one shipped across the pond let me know and I'd be happy to try to help you out. I used to live in.ch and I've shipped stuff overseas for friends.
Personally i'm sick of university, i was sick of it after the first year and I wish it was over. My attendance rate is near zero percent (literally), and i still manage As?
Then you haven't done enough partying or drugs. I did well in school too but I had a blast. A good night for me was not waking up in jail the next morning.
Class is easy, just do the work ahead of time and then you can party stress-free.
I didn't go to college (wustl.edu) to learn IOS or how to handle SNMP Traps or how to make my perl run in `use strict.`
I went to college to meet people, grow up a little, have fun and gain some broad experiences.
Then again, I was an Anthropology major and discovered that the more I partied the better I did academically.
Going to some fast-track corporate college is not really the same thing as collge, it's just another certification if you ask me. There's something to be gained from slumming it in a dorm for a year or two, living in a frat house and managing an apt with your friends.

See The Corporation.
It actually won a lot of praise...

wrong, they patented the genes in the plant.
a bunch of plants have this gene naturally and if they don't it is trivial to genetically modify it...college undergrads can do it.

The real question, imho, is will Monsanto try to collect royalties for the use of their genetic patent portfolio and IP?
It would be *really* funny if they sued the drug cartels for patent license violations.
I don't know who I dislike more, Monsanto or the Drug Cartels...

Actually...no.
Dan is literally *using* DNS to hide his traffic, not just using udp:53.
I know Dan and he's one of those people crazy (smart) enough to hack on something as dumb as this long enough to get something interesting out of it.
