The vast majority of our Windows servers are built with an unattended OS install; our UNIX servers are not. Our Windows servers receive software distributions via a centralized TPV product that ties directly in to our Asset Management system; our RISC-based UNIX servers do not.
This sounds like a managment problem. Everything you describe about your Windows setup has been available for must UNIXs for quite some time, and I doubt very much that you have to shell out the same insane amounts of cash to get it working with your UNIX servers that you had to for your Windows network.
I installed module-init-tools-0.9.14, which was the minimum version needed at the time. I thought perhaps there was something Debian specific since gentoo has/etc/modules.autoload.d/ with lists for each kernel.
The one problem I can't seem to find the answer to is how Debian tells the kernel which modules to autoload at boot. I know that for 2.4 kernels, there is a list in/etc/modules. However, with my 2.6 kernel. that file is ignored and I have to manually load all the modules I need after boot. A pain in the ass since I try to keep most of my device drivers as modules, like for my NICs, video card, USB, sound card, etc. Has anyone using Debian and 2.6 kernel found a solution to this?
I don't know for a fact whether it is indeed a closed system or not, I was simply speculating.
My guess is, the idea of 1Ton of powder material from 2Tons of waste is an estimate really. The contraption pictured doesn't seem big enough to hold 2Tons of waste. Perhaps someone put in 10lbs of garbage and 5lbs of powder camer out? The truth is both the NYTimes article and VT link are too light on detail to really say. However, in a scaled up version, a version that could hold 2Tons of garbage, 32ft^3 of water isn't much really. And if it's not a closed system, then the water vapor just whisps away. If it's only water vapor, there is nothing to fear.
Perhaps if it is an open system, they could attach filters that catch any particulate matter that may escape with the water vapor. Again, no one seems to know how it works, and none of the two articles I read had much detail really. It's just speculation and conjeture unfortunately.
Actually no. The other ton of "material" is probably just the water being evaporated during the breakdown process. It appears to be a closed system, so nothing is magically disappearing. On the other hand, I've only seen a couple of pictures so magical disappearances could be possible
Having done some work with Globus and Condor, it seems that your "cell architecture" is basically how things are setup now. Many institutions, like the group at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications(NCSA) have set up Grid nodes using toolkits and programs like Globus.
If you have an app which is Grid-enabled, a hydrology simulation for instance, you would get accounts on the various NCSA Grid nodes. Then you would use Globus or Condor, or the two in combination, to hand off your computation and data to the various Grid nodes, the nodes would compute, then give you back results. Your own computing cluster/Grid node could work on the results, have other nodes do more computing, etc until finished.
This reduces communication over the internet and keeps most communication to local networks. However, even if you did want to do communction between nodes, it wouldn't be as bad you point out. Most nodes are at universities that are on Internet 2 and have huge amounts of bandwidth available and low latency.
Commercial uses of Grid computing may differ as they will have difficulty using I2 or something like NCSA, but I'm sure the market will fix this problem.
Instead of trying to store 8TB a day of video, why not look at ways to reduce the video. If the video is for security reasons(that is my assumption) then why do you need 30fps? Why do you even need one frame every second?
Another solution may be to take an initial image and then simply record the changes, similar to what CVS does. It's much more efficient to store just a few changes than an entire image*30 every second. This solution would probably require a lot more computing power, then it's easier to add computing power than infinate storage space.
MPEG-4 may do some of these things, if so, you already have a solution. If not, get cracking a "fun" algorthim:)
I tried www.msn.fr and the page displayed fine even though that page has also been redesigned to use the new XP look and feel. I guess M$ doesn't want to piss off the French anymore than they have to.
I guess I'm a bit confused on the code overhead for writing a 'Hello World' program. Let's see:
public class HelloWorld{
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}
hrm... 3 lines of code, which is the same, or less than a C++ program that does the same thing. So my point? Java, I would dare say, has _less_ 'code overhead' than C++ when it comes to creating data structures and simple code fragments.
Also, I think it will be much easier for your old instructor to learn the syntax of java because he and other students _won't_ have to deal with relatively complex issues like pointers and memory management, but what will be tough for him is learning the concept of Objects, which is pretty tough if you have worked in something like Pascal for most of your career.
Mmm... Personal attacks in a discussion. That is a sure sign someone has no idea about what they are discussing. There are many people who feel that abortions are wrong for _other_ reasons besides their religous beliefs.
Second, fundamentalism is _not_ a religion. it is, as defined by merriam-webstser: a movement in 20th century Protestantism emphasizing the literally interpreted Bible as fundamental to Christian life and teaching b : the beliefs of this movement c : adherence to such beliefs
2 : a movement or attitude stressing strict and literal adherence to a set of basic principles
And no matter what your personal views are, many pro-lifer/anti-choice/anti-abortion people are very intelligent.
Finally you can make no comment about my thinking because you don't know me, and from the stucture of your remarks, I doubt you could put them together coherently.
That makes no sense. Neither the pro-life nor pro-choice movements are religions. Also fundamentalism(sp?) is not a religion. True more people that are pro-life consider themselves religious, but there are also religous people that are a part of the pro-choice movement.
Yes I read it again and it still doesn't really belong here. The person is justifying voting for Nader with the arguement that Bush won't make abortions illegal(which he can't _directly_ do, it would take perhaps 5-10years for that to happen). Which is beside me because the point of voting for Nader is a vote for Bush _never_ came up in the responses posted to the questions. It's just some rant on how abortion will never be made 'illegal' and that could have been said in about 1 line.
Yes I'm saying free speech is illegal without laws protecting it. For instance, if free speech were "legal" we'd be able to libel against someone or yell 'fire' in a crowded movie. Heck, we'd even be able to lie under oath because it was our right of free speech.
You can have a 'right' guarenteed to you under the constitution, but without laws protecting it, that right is useless.
I believe it was Jefferson Davis who said in a debate with Lincoln that said something to the effect of, 'you can outlaw slavery by not having any laws that protect it' In that day, a person had the right to own a slave, but as Davis pointed out that with out laws protecting slavery, you couldn't have a slave.
I hope this makes sense to everyone besides us 'fucking right-wing nuts' out there. Heck, it makes sense to me and i'm not even a right-wing nut
Yeeaaahhhh, so what was your point again? I don't understand how your rant on the 'legalization' of an abortion had anything to do with Nader's responses.
Oh, and the supreme court didn't legalize abortions. That would take a law passed by the legislature and signed by the president. The SC simply said a woman has the _right_ to an abortion
They can pry my genetic information from my cold dead hands. As Americans, we should be _very_ concerned about this. Now that something like this has happened in GB, insurance companies and others here in the States will be pushing for something very similar. I for one would rather pay more for my insurance than let some big coporation know about such intimate details of my life. Not only that, but once these tests start to include different cancers, nearly everyone in GB, and the rest of the world, will have to disclose some sort of genetic test in order to get insurance. This needs to be nipped in the bud here and now before it spreads and our children and beyond are paying the consquences!
This may be a stupid question, but when I bought my very first pc it came with windows 95. I guess I haven't read the entire EULA, but shouldn't I be able to put the same copy of windows 95 on multiple PCs that I own?
If so, then why should I be forced to buy another copy of windoze when I already have a perfectly legal copy I can use?(other than the fact that M$ will lose some money)
AT&T will be able to kill net buying for all their customers. I'm sure they will keep a big customer base when the consumers realize online retailers refuse to sell to them.
I know places like Wal-mart have or still do sell surveillance cameras hidden in smoke detectors from their website. I think that if a large company such as Wal-mart or even Bust Buy sold these items, there would be no raids and definately not the way it was done to Ramsey.

Not true. CARP + PFSYNC with OpenBSD and now even FreeBSD work quite nicely. You can do not only hot failover, but also load balancing.
As an admin at his hosting company, I can't really see why it's /.'d. Maybe I should have a tech have a peak at the server...

Why is this being posted? It's all fairly old news from last week.
Ok, thanks for the info. I hadn't read that. I'll give that a try as well.
Thanks again
I have the same version of modutils and modconf, but I have an older version of module-init-tools, 0.9.14.
I'll try upgrading the module-init-tools. Did you make any changes to any configuration files?
Thanks for your help.
I installed module-init-tools-0.9.14, which was the minimum version needed at the time. I thought perhaps there was something Debian specific since gentoo has /etc/modules.autoload.d/ with lists for each kernel.
I'll try a newer version perhaps.
Thanks
