  1. trust is overrated on Why Should I Trust My Network Administrator? · · Score: 0

    1. Trust is overrated. You should be looking at the processes that your outsourcer uses rather than the people who perform them. Look for an annual SAS70 or SYSTRUST audit/certification and shop elsewhere if you don't get it and you are paranoid.
    2. Competence - The idea that that sysadmin should have access to the contents of the filesystem is quaint. Encryption solves the problem on one side, while a secure log host that the outsourcer *doesn't* administer will help you enforce accountability. AlertLogic do an appliance based log archiving system that would be ideal.

  2. Re:Auction House Locations? on Ask Questions of the World of Warcraft Team · · Score: 0

    Well, there *is* a third auction house. You can also create an alt that lives in the capital, and use it to craft, buy/sell, etc.

    but at the rate technology is going right now, we'll probably have something capable of blowing the thing into gravel

    We should delegate it to HP. Think about it.

    1. Merge asteroid with existing asteroid of similar size.
    2. Resulting asteroid is 2/3 the size of the smaller of the two source asteroids.
    3. Go to step 1. Repeat.
  4. Re:why does france hate google? on France National Library Attacks Google Book Effort · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, to start off with, the name google is just too "English." Perhaps google should rename their service "Le Goog" in France...

  5. Re:Noise levels on Solid-State Mini-ITX Linux Recording Studio HOWTO · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Of course you can get past the noisy pickup bit with a Line6 Variax. Sounds like a strat (and a Paul, and a Special, and a Martin, and a Rick, and a Tele, and banjo, and a sitar), and has an ethernet port. B/c it uses piezo-electric pickups and digital modelling, no 60 cycle hum or any other electrical interference. What could be cooler than that?

  6. Re:The Madness of King Darl on SCO Madness Reigns Supreme · · Score: 1

    unfortunately, rationality, coherence and constitionality have very little to do with how legal decisions come down in this country. See any final adjudication of an anti-trust suit against Microsoft for support.

  7. I'm not a butterfly, I'm a moth on Microsoft Vandalizes NYC · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or did they steal Arthur's bunny suit and paint it??

  8. Re:ads for IE only... on The Successor To Popunder Ads? · · Score: 1

    Just tested, these f*sck3rs work just fine with galeon + crossover plugin + win32 shockwave plugin. No worries about being left out of everyone elses irritation.

  9. 7 years of college on How Did You Become a UNIX Administrator? · · Score: 1

    4 year undergrad degree in internation relations/economics, three years of law school.

    Oh yeah, I also taught myself z80 and 8088 assembler in high school, and had this summer job debugging other people's cobol, and hooked up a bunch of satellite networks....

  10. its not linux on What's A Good Starter Linux distro? · · Score: 1

    The best *unix* for a newbie to start with is freebsd, due primarily to the excellent box The Complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey - I'd recommend any newbie to invest in a copy with the cd's... It's not even a difficult install (if you can read...)
