ZFS is also missing user guota's, clustering and HSM. If ZFS floats your boat good for you, but claiming it does everything and is without serious problems is shear ignorance.
On 7200rpm SATA spindles only. Great if you don't need lots of IO's otherwise your a bit stuffed. Also great if you never need more than 48TB. If you however do then you are a bit stuffed with the thumper approach as it does not scale.
And I wish I had mod points to mod you troll. So lets see may be the lack of user quotas on a shared file space didn't fly for him. For me that is a complete deal breaker.
Perhaps it because he has a SAN, and doing the snapshotting and other random LVM tasks in the file system does not fly for him, because he wants to do things like move the VG's from one machine to another.
Maybe he wants a cluster file system, or one that does HSM. I know I do and ZFS as of today does neither.
ZFS is designed for managing a bunch of direct attached hard disks in thumper or similar device. At anything else it is frankly a bit sucky.
A completely brand new system, custom designed from the ground up for driver less trains.
Problem is that most railways around the world are legacy systems, and my guess is the cost of maintaining the drivers is cheaper than upgrading the entire system to support a range of *new* driver less trains.
Hum, not if your name is Sir Roy Meadow you don't. You just get to make up junk statistics out of your head with no evidence what so ever to justify them, or any formal qualifications in statistics.
As a result of your grossly negligent and misleading expert witness to the court innocent parents end up serving jail time for the deaths of their children.
Come back to you none whatsoever, despite the fact you are an evil shit who has ruined lives on your pet theories that are little more than junk science and deserve to spend the rest of your life in jail.
Get back to me when "expert" witnesses are punished for giving false ans misleading evidence.
Add to that Visual Basic, Exchange, PowerPoint, and of course DOS itself. There are quite a few others. The idea that Microsoft does all it's own innovation is bunkum from the uninformed.
But if we look at the number of people carried and the number of launches using Soyuz and the Shuttle, then Soyuz has more launches without incident and has launched more people. By any measure the Soyuz is safer. If the USA where still launching Saturn V rockets I am sure they would be just as safe.
At last someone doing a proper mini-ITX board with an Atom, and they have mostly got rid of all the legacy junk of the back as well.
What would be sweet is a version with dual 1Gb lan, and capable of being set up with a serial console redirection for a low power headless home server. For added bonus points some more SATA ports would be nice.
Nope it predates any merger with Compaq/DEC. A full 10 years ago I had shipped express DHL from Colorado in the States to the north east of England in a large box about 100cm by 40cm by 15cm, two sheets of paper and a wooden sheathed brio with HP engraved on it.
The reason for this, was I had registered a warranty on a tape library...
Depends where you live. Right here in the United Kingdom the Crown owns *EVERYTHING*, and the best you can do is hold the land free of rent (aka freehold).
That said if I die then anyone inheriting it has to pay taxes on it. If it goes up in value and I sell I have to pay taxes, and if it is sold the person buying it has to pay taxes.
No it means that it applies to works that are already in existence. So for example I own a number of audio books of classic works. The words spoken by the actors on the CD's are long out of copyright. However the recording itself has a 50 year term. When I purchased that audio book I entered into a contract, part of which was based on the fact that the copyright in the recording would expire within my lifetime.
This proposal would change the existing contract of purchase to make me materially worse off. This makes it retroactive.
This proposal however has to get approval from all 27 member countries, which is a tall order given that some, such as the UK have expressed previously that they saw no reason to extend copyrights on recordings.
I would not be so sure. For it to be theft (in the UK at least) there has to be "an intention to permanently deprive"
Without this it is not theft. This is why someone who takes a car for a joyride is charged with "Taking without the owners consent" and not theft for example.
Therefore if it is not the employers intention to permanently deprive the ex-employee of their possessions then it is not theft, and they are in the clear.
Why? As machines come out of service they should be removed from the DNS, and the name can then be recycled.
Personally I found bird names (the feathery kind) to be good for at least 600 machines. However I used this for individual workstations. I found people remember and can communicate their workstations name to you if it is something they can relate to, and bird names is a sufficiently large namespace for all but the largest of organizations.
That said if I had a series of machines that where say fileservers I would pick a basename say tower and then call them tower01, tower02, etc. For SMB based fileservers I would then hide that under DFS. If you have a compute cluster I would strongly recommend this sort of naming scheme, anything else will drive you crazy quickly.
For a clustered service I would pick a theme; say brands of whiskey, and then have a round robin DNS on the service name. So for an directory service I might have (in no particular order) dalwhinnie, macallan, glenfiddich, and talisker with a round robin DNS on ldap for example.
Whatever naming scheme you adopt, the *most* important thing is to label all the machines with their name. Invest in a cheap thermal transfer labeler, you can get them for around 20GBP with a Qwerty keyboard.
Right, which small law firm is that which produces 5TB of new or changed data *a month*? I am responsible for backup and storage at a large life sciences department at a UK university, and we don't produce 5TB of data from our microscopes a month. These produce data at a much higher rate than a small law firm could reasonably manage.
You need to invest in some better backup technology me thinks. Something that backs up files rather than filesystems.
I would say this is the single biggest screw up that Sun have made on the open source front. Had they put WABI on an open source license then the effort that has gone into Wine would have started with a mostly functioning version, and would have given people a real OS choice over a decade before it became one for most people.
I would also cite the failure to opensource the XView desktop as another mistake.
Anything a TIFF can do, a PDF can do better. I can take the very same images that you have in your TIFF, compress them with a better algorithm and embed them into a PDF, and end up with something smaller.
You were clearly utterly incompetent in the generation of PDF's is all I can conclude.
Would be nice, but it would have to be over a separate ethernet port. The shared ethernet port with two MAC stuff is unreliable junk.
However few if any mini-ITX boards have a BMC, where as they all with the addition of a small amount of code in the BIOS could do a full serial console. There is no additional hardware cost involved, it is all software.
Except there are times when you need a real ISA/PCI serial port. A good example of which is a NTP reference clock. A USB to RS-232 adapter simply does not cut the mustard in this scenario.
And I think you don't understand thermodynamics either. Cooling to say 18 Celsius when you can happily get away with 25 Celsius will have a big impact on your cooling bill even through you are getting rid of the same amount of heat.

We have introduced age limits because it is bad for the physical and mental development of younger athletes to compete at such a high level.
It looks like China broke the rules, and the gold needs to be stripped from the effected athletes.

In a word GPFS, and then add in clustering, HSM and ctdb, and no I am not an IBM sales rep.
Frankly though I would also be far happier using XFS on a 20TB SAN with 15 years of heritage than this new upstart ZFS.

And even now, the jewel in the crown which is GPFS is still close source, pay for.

Rubbish there was a free TCP/IP stack for WfWg 3.11 as a download from Microsoft. I still have a copy on disk.
I think that will have been 256KB of RAM, otherwise it would have cost a *LOT* more than $2500
If I wanted some fine furniture making, I would want a cabinet maker and not a carpenter. Totally different jobs.
