Doesn't solve the problem that "This service is not available in your country" in the first place. If I can't even subscribe to the service in my own country first what tf do I need streaming roaming for?
I think an enterprise shop's bean counters would love to be told by their own machines that they don't need to upgrade to that bigger datastore for a few more months because "there's enough space there for another 8 months boss!" A human-powered utilization projection would have so many "safety margins" added in that the new datastore would have to be bought yesterday. The reality is that most of the times it's the 'counters that dictate stuff and they'd lap up this intelligent monitoring in a jiffy if it helps them justify cutting even a minor expense.
True, but I had a made-up scenario in mind where I get an initial 1.9T data purged out into a 2T archival fs leaving just 100GB free. I'd be at my 90% threshold (using the old % method) at start of operations but would only use a couple more GB at a time after each successive monthly purge. I'd still have a year or two of autonomy in the archive area even with 90+% of space already used up but my alerter would know not to alert me immediately after monitoring a few successive minor additions to the archive. Seems my mind jelly wandered off a bit when I thought of this. I was actually supposed to be studying. meh.
except that I got that info first from Italy's state tv (RAI) news so there are a few million Italians who now think that paradox-free time travel is possible because journalists always check facts before publishing:)
yeah! Glory! Allelujah. Glory in IT today is having my non-techie boss telling me to run Ubuntu on xen coz his lead programmer thought it's a good idea. If I tell my boss Ubuntu doesn't support xen it's my neck, not the programmer's coz the programmer develops the shitware that makes the money!. Totally unlike the days of yore when if I told my non-techie boss to send his lead programmer to bugger off it would be my neck, not the programmer's......WAIT, I repeat myself......Glory? in IT? Hah!
Been in the field for just over 16 years now. All time *nix/*nux:) admining except the last 2 years where I was doing a mix of both. This thought comes into my head every time I'm configuring something new or diagnosing some 3rd line fault. I really like the challenges and puzzles I get to solve but don't know for how long I can keep it up. It gets tiring after a (long) while and everybody knows that the admins are available 24hrs to fix things so work-life balance is a no no. At 39 I'm thinking I might get a life doing something different:)
The technology is still not there. In the vid I saw there were multiple players doing a myriad of stuff like unscrewing a racing car wheel and replacing it and another person (i.e. multiplayer) driving the car into and out of pit stops and changing gears just by hand motions, sophisticated martial arts movements, skateboarding skills etc. What Microsoft actually demoed was someone throwing virtual paint and somebody kicking a ball. Not quite the same thing IMO. Why did they not demo the games I saw in the video? Repeat: The technology is till not there. This is just an excuse for Microsoft to patent something someone else will actually produce in future so it can become an IP/Patent troll and earn money from licensing to others when it stops making money from its doomed OS and office suite (amongst others). In other words, we will sweat our asses off being controllers while Microsoft will become the couch-potato, laugh at us and earn money doing nothing but suing people not paying for its IP.
P.S. Of course, if I'm wrong, I'll eat my hat and by an Xbox. I have dreamed of being able to do martial arts with a virtual opponent for a long time. Beats practicing in front of a mirror;)
When I had done a couple of PC installations on ships the desktop PC bases were mounted on four very soft shock absorbers to minimise hard disk damage from continuous engine vibration. You might want to take that into consideration since vibaration from the engine (when used) of a sailing boat would be more pronounced given the smaller distance between engine room and your machine. You won't have that problem if you're limited to wind power only tho'.
AT&Ts SVR4 Powerfail Recovery mode does it well. You can set Powerfail strategy to either shutdown or recovery using the 'strategy' command or setting the STRATEGY variable manually in/etc/default/dump. In recovery mode, memory is saved to the dump slice and when the power comes back on, it is restored and continues where it left off. Simple as that. Network connections DO suffer obviously but even an active Informix engine continued running after such an outage. Alas, NCR's roadmap is going to kill SVR4 3.02.01 in a short while:(
a while ago before I got something that could do midi, I had a flat, rectangular wooden panel with a few sheet metal squares screwed on it each connected to a different data pin. Two sticks wrapped in coax shield were used to supply voltage to any metal square touched and a sound was triggered on detection....voila'...homebrew drums......the port was on an amiga though....
Isn't it just a shame that all the testimonials on the site all suffer the SAME subtle lack of English grammar knowledge. A little variety in the mistakes (or a few testimonials WITHOUT them) would help improve the credibility a whole lot imho. Now where's that guitar....the pickup magnets were neodymium.......or was that my car speakers.....or.......rings ahoy!
So, If the greengrocer 50 metres from my house produces 20kg of rotting trash everyday (coz he sells most of it anyway) after closing, he'll have to store 5 days worth of rotting veggies just for me to travel 100km. Now how many greengrocers will it take to produce the rot-for-gas for a couple of hundred thousand cars? let alone a few million cars....I'll never power it with my own veggie scrap becoz the veggies I buy are usually fresh and eaten in this state. The only solid waste I produce comes from my backside and I'm NOT storing my own *hit to run a car! Now what's the next idea for alternative fuel pleaaaaseee.....
I'm a full-time employee and my abnormal hours support compensation is with a lump (very small lump mind you;-) sum every day for the inconvenience if I'm not called in and as prepayment for small expenses such as pager batteries, fuel and phone calls when I am (called in, i.e.). Then I'm also paid overtime rates on top of this sum when I am called in to actually handle an after hours call. I Think this is the type of answer being called for here.
mount soft shock absorbers at each corner of a square piece of thick chipboard and strap your server on to it. Better than nothing and I used it successfully to mount desktops onboard ships although the design was somewhat more scientific than chipboard!
Don't know about Linux but there's a system running under Digital U**X (and therefore not Windoz) which I believe is called PAS (Patient Administration System?!). Sorry can't be more helpful but just something I caught up locally. Helpful keystrings to aid your research could incude "Clinicom" & "Shared Medical System Corp.". Local training on the system was given by some SMS United Kingdom Ltd. but this was yeeeaaars ago.

Does look nice and "trendy" , but a bit overkill just to monitor a file system don't you think? :)

What happens if I send -2000000? Will I receive 2 million in my account?
.....an (fake) incompetent Manager and earn better money while smiling at frustrated coders explaining the mechanics of their work to you.
My original post's title did not have the company name in it :)

I'm checking the karnaugh maps. The logic seems sound. Confirmed. The twitterer says the truth.

It's not actually the OS that is the news, it's Linux on *their* hardware in Hol?yWood. They used other OSs previously.
