I'd like to see better XML books, everyone I have ever read so far was light on the practical examples and heavy on words.
For me the best books are written almost like a school math book. Each topic builds on the last and there are lots of practical code examples. One of the best I have used on my job was SAMS: Teach Yourself Internet Programming with Visual Basic 6. Tons of practical examples, and each thing built on the last with an ever growing example of a project. There is one page in there with a code example on it that has become the basic outline of every new page I write in my job, because it ties the concepts together so well. I have yet to find its like for other languages.
My dell Latitude CPx-J model and the CPI before it...just about indestructable...the CPI survived a 4 foot fall, while running once. Landed on its side(crushed the PC-Card and the dongle pulled into it, but the socket had no damage...) fell on to the bottom...the system continued running, infact I jsut picked it up and continued working, after replacing the PC Card.
The problem is there are Microsoft services, that we need to use that are dependant on Hotmail accounts as the communications medium...In otherwords if you can't use Hotmail you can't use those services...
The largest problem in my mind with passport and its related.NET services is the dependance on username@hotmail.com. This service first of all has never proven itself to be reliable. Second of all is the source of(or at least the visable source of) at least half the spam I recieve because they don't secure the thing properly. I would dearly love to block mail from hotmail on my domain, but with the dependance on hotmail for all things M$ related I would cut off a goodly number of people from being able to communicate. We have MCSE's working here and they need to send and recieve on hotmail because of this dependance.
This is true...if you are going to run EMC storage, you Must follow EMC rules in my expirence. This means, let the field Engineer do the work. If you need to do work on the box, get the EMC CS people on the line, to validate the work.
San is always the better way to go...since it tranparently integrates into your network Topology. Therefore, for needs of quick off site, or offserver anyway access, backup etc, everything just works faster, and better.
If your really need to get the low down on what is better, esspecially for your situation, to figure out what you really need I suggest you look up your local EMC office, or visit www.emc.com....its never failed me where I work...Nobody ever got fired for buying EMC.
They Ran a commercial for it last night...I was coding, so i can't remember the Channel I was on, but on the of the ones(75+) that charter Basic cable in the Worcester area carries anyway.
Totally impossible....P2,3,4 and Athlon use completely different Bus protocols.
However, its at least possible in theory, and with the right Bios to use Athlons and Alphas on the smae Motherboard...they use the same Bus protocol. Alwas thought that would have been interesting if someone had done that....:>
Just a wild Guess, but....
If the share the same PCI(I am assuming its not a ISA ide bus) bus then you have twice the disk IO flowing through the same limited bandwidth....this is bound to show some performance degradation.
Its about impossible to break in the govenment job industry, unless you are a minority, a been shot in war, or otherwise, are "blessed" in some way. My Girlfriend's mother works for the post office and can't even apply for the Postmaster job in my little podunk town cause its on different levels of govenment service jobs. So even after you get in your railroaded around, and its about impossible to advance.
Which is sort of the point I was trying to make origially, because SRV records aren't fully supported. There needs to be an agreement on making something of this sort happen that will allow all clients and servers to respect the information coming back....
OK, I CAN do all that, but I am trying to solve problems for average users...I know geeks trying to help non-geeks is generally frowned upon, but sue me I have a big heart and want to help them get solutions. See the answer above for yet another expanded description of what I am attempting to do for these people.
BTW, I don't believe that ISP's should be able to limit what you do with the Bandwidth, call my desire to help people who have their port 80 blocked civil disobidiance...
I am with this conversation because obviously you people have so limited a view of things that you can't open your minds enough to understand what it is that I am trying to accomplish.
Once again...1 IP at the router, multipule boxes behind the router which both want to provide Web services...its a classic problem with DSL and Cable lines.
I don't want to have either box dependant on the other. The Router doing the NAT is say a Linksys Box....it doesn't know from host headers, it can't read host headers and redirect, so the only way to send traffic to the box not on 80 is to know the right port, which make for ugly URL's. Of course I know there are other better ways, if you used a real box as the router and had apache proxy the connections read the host headers and redirect, but I am trying to solve the problem for some of my customers, who don't want this level of complication.
Why is it people always have to look at the complicated side of the problem and try to make things fit the complicated solution...its a simple answer...that most people are searching for, I can certainly give them the complicated answer, but generally with that level of complication and upkeep they will walk on the whole project.
I am a geek who is actually trying to give non geeks easy answers.
Or you could just do it right and use real equipment with 10+ years of history in doing all this to begin with. Don't invent this stuff as you go along. You want real backups, and real data security, with automatic fail overs.
BUY EMC, and yes it does work with Linux, and you can install any of the supported Linux File systems on it.
Thanks I will check into that, I think i looked into those before, but that was a while back when i was first learning the DNS admin job, and lets face it for the ordinary everyday tasks the zone file doesn't get that complicated, so those sorts of things slip your mind...but at least it was a rational response, with useful information rare around here.
Actually I do, I was using port 80 as an example of what i was talking about....
Perhaps a closer read the next time, instead of just skimming for flamebait.
To reiterate and expand...If a user such as one on a cable modem wants to have to have a WEB site, and the ISP blocks the Port 80, if DNS had the ability to pass port information with the DNS reply then the user could have www.foo.com, as the URL leading to the site instead of having www.foo.com:8090.
Another example, I have one IP I want two sites, but they live on different boxes. The same rational applies, one could live directly on 80, and with DNS carrying the Port # the the other could live on 8090, and they can both have simple names www.foo.com, www.bar.com,(I am actually running into this problem now, as I have a domain already, and my girlfriend would like to have one as well)
I am the DNS admin more several Internet domains, and have been for 5+ years in a professional capacity. I have been on the internet in one cpacity or another for 10+ years. I remember a time before the web didn't even exist.
Thats one that has always puzzled me? root.hints contains the list of root servers. and it doesn't have through Z in the current naming convention, so why can't be have more root servers. I mean esspecially with the price of hardware, and such being what it is, it shouldn't be that hard to set up additonal root servers. I mean if the DNS howtos of the world just included a line like, "Your root.hints now includes the ICANN servers, add these additional listings for the other servers"? I partially agree that there does need to be a central authority for all this, but I do think ICANN is handling it in the best way. There is a need for some control so that two people don't try to register the same name with different authorities, and create a conflict. However, I also think its should be a case of first come first serve on getting the names, and the trademark game should not be a consideration.
But I could be completely wrong because I so think, that DNS records should also include rudimentry routing info that helps the rest of the world find that last hop to my network since my ISP will not route for me. And I also think that DNS should have the ability to have a PORT record so when doing a DNS lookup the person looking me up can be directed to service ports within my IP so www.foo.com can live on port 8090 for instance because cable modem companies sometimes block port 80. That way when www.foo.com gets looked up the client not only gets the IP, but the port on the server to connect too, so users don't have to have stupid IPs like http://www.foo.com:8090, DNS takes care of passing the 8090 as part of the lookup reply.
I am working on the RFC for this since there doesn't seem to be one.
The biggest problem is many people I trade emails with have come to be used to the way that Outlook etc does things by default. I try to send proper emails(10+ Years of expirence in doing so) that have the email "properly" quoted. ie, putting my comments after each point, and I actually get yelled at for this. I even had a boss tell me to learn how to send email. Yet anothe sign of the dumbed down net.
I don't even understand how this would work. It seems to indicate that they would be trying to sell the domain, before it even expires? Thought one pretty much had up till the expire date on the record, get they next payment in?
What not put the Drives in a separate box, with its own power supply that way you can start that box 10 seconds before the main CPU box....ATX tower case 350`400watt power supply fits/powers 8-12 drives $100...cheap and easy.

Hi,

It doesn't have the speed, redundancy, Customer support, or reliability of EMC.

Really I have not had any problem with this at all as a Charter Customer. And I belong to the LKML, so I get tons of Email to my mail server everyday.
