The problem with Scientific Linux is that they *ADD* packages to the base distro, so it is more than a rebuild.
In general a more useful way would for their to be a "Scientific Linux" repo that I could point my CentOS or RedHat box at to install extra scientific software packages.
I have not paid to get the full information, but the 192.com search shows him living with a Marion Maden in the current electoral register, and one from 2002-03, so I am guess she could be the other director.
I would add as posted elsewhere that CentOS Ltd is registered at Chapel en le Frith, and a 192.com search turns up a Lance Davis at that address. It also has the Stockport address as the old address of CentOS Ltd, changed 29th January this year.
Hum, CentOS website mentions centos ltd, so a quick shuffty over to Companies House has the current registered address as
WELL HOUSE 9 HIGH STREET CHAPEL EN LE FRITH HIGH PEAK DERBYSHIRE SK23 0HD
Changed on the 29th January this year from
10 BEAN LEACH DRIVE STOCKPORT CHESHIRE SK2 5HZ
with next set of accounts due on the 15th of next month. A quick shuffty over to 192.com will give you a telephone number that matches the Chapel en le Frith address, complete with a middle name to further nail it down.
We are talking about 20 miles from the centre of Manchester, and train stations within a mile. A bit far for me, and I am sure there are nearer Linux users with a vested interest than me. Hardly difficult to track down.
There are plenty of people in the UK that could help in tracking him down. A www.192.com search on Lance Davis is only returning 14 hits with some of those duplicates. A bit more information that I am sure the CentOS team have about him does he have a middle name, what's his land line number if he has one, what is the name of his company etc. and it would be relatively trivial to turn up a postal address for him.
After that there are going to be plenty of people in the UK on this forum within a couple of hours drive who would be willing to drive out to confront him face to face.
I suspect the $2.5million is in contention. It is hard to get to the bottom, but if the ex-wife was awarded say 50% of his assets that the court said was $5million, but he is saying is now $1 million due to bad investments, he cannot pay the $2.5million, but does not need to either, he only needs to pay $500,000 now and there is no bankruptcy involved.
Why the court did not pass an order, giving the court the right to find out the value of his assets, and employ some forensic accountants to do so, is what I don't understand.
Dual drive LTO-1, came with a bunch of free tapes from work when we upgraded our Total Storage 35000 to LTO-4. Has 20 slots and gives me 2TB of backup.
Old tech tape drives and loaders are cheap on eBay.
1. A cheap single disk NAS enclosure ($100 tops)
2. It does not need to be redundant, its a backup your redundancy is your primary copy. ($0)
3. It can spin down the disk for 90% of the time. Power consumption averaged over a day will be say 5W (on your figures $22)
4. I have a family member with Cable/DSL and no capacity monitoring 00:00 to 08:00 ($0)
Total cost ~ $200. I can replace it with brand new hardware every year and still save $2800, and probably up the capacity at the same time.
Amazon S3 is hugely expensive, there are far cheaper options for most people.
1.5 can be done with SAN storage and/or virtualization in a cluster. With the SAN solution, you just point the LUN's at another similar box and start it up.
Right then life plus 22 years tops so that any remaining offspring have reached adulthood.
Personally I believe there is this thing call life assurance that you can buy. By paying a regular monthly amount, your partner/offspring get a lump sum on your untimely death and a pension for the partner for the rest of their life, and till adulthood for your offspring. Works for everyone else, why not writers?
At the moment there is only one company I can goto and by a database with support and not have the vendor be able to pass the buck. That company is IBM with the DB2 on AIX on Power stack. It is IBM end to end. If Oracle take over Sun, then there will be another stack in the mix, Oracle on Solaris on Sparc. That has to be some selling point.
That said if I where Larry, I would do away with OpenSolaris, but only because I would make no distinction between Solaris and OpenSolaris. I would push it for all it is worth against Linux
What do you mean AIX is still somewhat in support!!!
It is still in development, with new versions coming along and IBM are still producing new hardware for it. Admittedly none of it is cheap, an entry level p520 express is still eye wateringly expensive if you are used to x86 hardware, but it is just as much an alive platform as it ever was.
Yes and no. Some pieces of legislation are identical in all UK jurisdictions. Copyright is one of them. Also note since the inception of the Welsh Assembly, there is no guarantee that English and Welsh law are the same in all cases.
On the other hand I paid my taxes (and as I live in the UK it was my taxes) that then went to pay the national gallery to take these photos. I seem to have missed something about not paying for their creation:-)
On the other hand if I was not living in the UK, but somewhere, where sweat of brow does not allow you to copyright (say the USA) then the National Gallery are somewhat stuffed.
Bear in mind that the mpg that you are seeing is based on the fact that an Imperial gallon is larger than an US gallon. It is 4.5l for an Imperial gallon to 3.8l for a US gallon. Naturally they get better MPG.
That said the fuel efficiency of diesel cars in Europe is quite astounding, the Audi A2 was the best but no longer in production. The VW Bluemotion Polo and Gold do around 61mpg (US gallon), which is better than a Prius.

See my other posts, but someone near Manchester needs to print that out and hop over to Chapel En Le Frith.
Nope, no death certificates for a Lance Davis in the UK, at least according to www.192.com

The little ice age did actually happen overnight.
Nice, but transmission losses are around 7%, so yes a coal powered electric car is better than a gasoline power car.

Oh for mod points.
You do not need to take a ruler to the screen. You query the monitor using DPMS, and then compare that to a database that has your screen size in it.
Indeed, but it has a service life of 5 years tops. My tape's have a service life in excess of 30 years.
You need to separate the tape from the tape drive.

Wrong, you are going to need

2. It does not need to be redundant, its a backup your redundancy is your primary copy. ($0)

Except Vodafone's (and other mobile companies) have lower margins in the UK then the rest of Europe. I blame Carphone Warehouse myself.

I can clarify, because it says so in the Copyright Act 1988.
