I walk 3.2 miles round trip every day for my commute... Maybe I could plug my shoes in at the end of the day and sell that back to the electric company?
I thought it was the other way around? I was sure that UFS was actually based on FFS...
If you go here: http://www.computerbooksonline.com/chapters/solari schap.htm and do a search in the page for BSD... It clearly states: (and it could be wrong, so someone please clear this up for me...)
"UFS--The UNIX file system, which is based on the BSD FAT Fast file system (the traditional UNIX file system). The UFS file system is the default
disk-based file system used in Solaris."
It totally was from an Ad, I didnt meant to make it sound like plagerism, but I guess it was... I was going to quote the link, but hit submit instead of preview (by accident)
Intel has introduced a new mobile chipset with integrated graphics specifically designed for
today's full-size and thin-and-light mobile Intel Pentium III and Celeron processor-based mobile PCs. According to Intel, this integrated mobile chipset offers great performance while lowering overall system cost.
The Intel 815EM chipset integrates graphics functionality and options to utilise external AGP 4X or AGP 2X graphic controllers. This new chipset provides built in, support for Intel's SpeedStep
technology featured in mobile Pentium III processors. By supporting Intel SpeedStep technology, notebook vendors using the new Intel 815EM chipset can lower manufacturing costs by eliminating external components.
The Intel 815EM chipset is based on Intel's advanced Hub Architecture, featuring a new I/O
Controller Hub (ICH2-M) for greater system performance and flexibility. The ICH2-M enables
an additional Universal Serial Bus (USB) port, includes a Local Area Network (LAN) Connect
Interface, dual Ultra ATA/100 controllers for faster hard drive performance and support for
Dolby Digital full surround sound.
The Intel 815EM chipset is designed with integrated graphics and external AGP 4X graphics thatcan be easily upgraded. The chipset's graphics and AGP Memory Controller Hub features Intel
graphics technology to create vivid 2D and 3D effects and images. The chip also features
integrated hardware-assisted motion compensation to improve DVD video quality and a digital
video-out port to connect mobile PCs directly to televisions or flat panel displays.
I thought that Solaris was going to put Helix Gnome as one of their main X window managers? Is that still on??? Will it now be "Solaris shipped with Ximian"???
Most of those people that run windows machines either at home or at work deserve to run windows... Those people are allowed to run windows, are allowed to like windows, and can try and convince me that windows is the superior OS all they want...
These are the people that I dont have to worry about and the people that stay out of way... They can stay content with their PC's for as long as they want. As long as they stay off my Unix Servers/Workstations...
This is not a flame towards Windows Users as I have come across many intelligent people that just dont want to deal with running an environment that is different from what they have to support...
As for which is the superior OS, Windows has been a gaming platform for a number of years... Nobody can deny that one... In fact, DirectX was probably one of the coolest things to come along until OpenGL. With the article posted a week ago about the fancy startup logo for Linux... I think that its all a part of getting the majority to accept something that they dont have to understand... I do wish they would start to make a Linux Gaming platform... Turn off everything that is not needed for gaming and network and tune it out for some awesome gaming...
That the operating system running these things is NOT Microsoft Windows...
I can only imagine my robot surgeon getting a blue screen of death right in the middle of surgery... And if a reboot were to be only option to fix it:) I wonder if the robot would know where it left off?
Some.com companies have different motives... The last job I worked for had one major business motive... Don't pay your employees squat, demand they put in ridiculous hours, take all the profits, wait till they quit (or fire them), rinse, repeat. The corruption that goes on in some small, non-IPO.com companies is absolutely ludicrous...
One of the cool things that I have learned is that there are websites out there that critique IT companies in local areas... Here in Chicago, we have http://themayreport.com. The may report allows ex-employees (or anyone for that matter) to give opinions of the companies they work(ed) for. All the comments are available for posting on the web, and if the person so chooses, they may have it posted anonymously...
I think this gives a great way for people to do their own research (even if its based on hearsay) of what ex/current employees feel.
Linux now is going to have a splash screen? If anything, I kind of like the way FreeBSD and Sun starts up with the rotating CURSOR Oh well... There goes the neighborhood...
Anyone know what type of format this is going to be??? Is it going to be a bmp? gif? (oops, not gif... someone might SUE us:) jpg?, etc...
Its too bad that Support Contracts for E10K are now up to almost $800,000.00 / year now... You must have one certified E10K person to work on them or you void waurantee.
On a side note, these machines do rock... I work on two E10K's at work each running 4 domains with 2-3 system boards per domain... They are rock solid and dont have a lick of problems with the machines themselves... (Only problems I really run into are the people that act like they are sysadmins that aren't:)
Those facts are now outdated. Sun came out with the 256Meg Simms a few months ago... Each System board has 4 memory banks (each bank having 8 slots) Just a quick FYI for those companies out there with alot of money...
Also remember that in order to be able to use DR is that you must have one floater board so that you can empty out memory and processing from one board to another... But still, the advantages GREATLY outweight the disadvantages of the loss of one system board... And that one system board is ususable by all domsins (only one at a time though)
What this could do to the gaming industry? I would love to see "SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:" on Gaming Boxes to list the version of WINE that is required to run these type of games, and even see Software writers be more aware of other gaming platforms...
Oh and by the way: Can you imagine running 3DMark2000 benchmark on an ultra 10 with a 3D-creator card...:)
is to get a clue and look at the success of the BSD's ports collection... Nothing like a good "make install" and a "make world" combined with CVSup to keep up to date... FreeBSD has done so well on making installs simple yet understandable and controllable. Its easy to kee up with dependancies (as this is controlled all by the Makefile)
LIB_DEPENDS= tk82.1:${PORTSDIR}/x11-toolkits/tk82
As you can see, the "LIB_DEPENDS" handles all the dependancies...
OH AND FREEBSD's Port Collection will always be free... NO LICENCES!!!!:)
CVSup updates your Makefiles so you have the latest versions... Schedule this with CRONTAB and a good perl script and you are good to go...
The . in '.com' started for the simple reason that SUN stands for "(S)tandford (U)niversity (N)etworks" which was one of the original networks... And probably the largest of its time... Those two sysadmins (cant remember their names) branched off to create Sun Microsystems and in time, was the largest vendor of the.com world...
You are right about Network Solutions running Sun boxes, but you are wrong as to why the slogan was created...but actually if I remember correctly, they were not 450's, they were E10K's... But because IBM made their RS/6000's bigger and the ability for more processors, memory... etc... Network Solutions went with IBM... (WHAT A MISTAKE)
I bet you alot of money that they were not using those E10K's the way they should have been... Remember that E10K's have the ability for a 14gigabit backplane... 14 device paths, each at 1 gigabit... They hold what? 16 system boards, each with 4 processors... And with Sun coming out with the 512mb simms (the ablility to have a max memory of 16 x 4gig (64gig total), and when Solaris 8/Ultra 3 processors (gighertz speed) become Enterprise stable, I bet that Network Solutions will wish they hadnt switched...
I am glad that Sun is taking on such an effort to become part of the free world... This and Helix Gnome... They are taking into account that people want the best of both worlds... The robustness of Sun Hardware, the security, and the look and feel of a good GUI...
I wouldn't rate Solaris over say Linux or FreeBSD, but the reason the Enterprise market has been so Solaris based, is that their hardware is rock solid in comparison and their use of SMP (Symetric Multi Processing). Linux and FreeBSD have come along way in utilizing these features in their kernels... but hardware is where they have been lacking. When XFS or ext3 JFS's (Journaling File Systems) become stable and with an Enterprise class processor like the Itanium, I see a big change in the.com industry or any E-commerce industry... Comments? flames? questions? discussions? arguments?
And I didn't say Diablo II (I said "Quake II and Diablo);)
I agree with you, John. For the most part... most of the techies were undertrained which left people like you and me (among a few others) to pick up the slack for them and take on what they couldn't solve.
Whether or not I was going to be asked to leave or not, I already had this job in Chicago before the beginning of the year... I would have left on my own accord anyway...:)
I didnt hit on the receptionist, I hit on the HR (consequenly the sister of the receptionist:) I flat out told her because she asked me, otherwise i would have never said anything. She was hot though, even you can't deny that:)

It would be nice if we could humor these engineers to put as much effort into image spam filters :-P
Nothing like a quick Software Restriction Policy to "disallow" the use of IE :-)
I also have to admit, that since FireFox 2.0, I can trictly tell my browser which to sites to masquerade as IE.
Quite handy if I do say so myself...
30 meg .avi's here we come!!!

So which came first, is my question?

The technology is there, whether we want to believe it or not... Information is the most powerful weapon.
Its a wonder if we could keep anything private no matter what precautions we take...

Lets put our hands together folks...
Lets UNDERMIND their patent by patenting this:

Lets see how their gallery works without that!!!
