I believe you can download and use NexentaStor for free, and it comes with some pretty cool management pieces... I've played with it some, but don't have the resources to fully take use of it's features (yet)... If it wasn't for having to save for kids' college tuition, I'd have one hell of a basement datacenter.. =)
Not really, it just means that most people don't care enough to show how stupid you really are.
Maybe if I decided to follow you around all day every day, as you appear to do for me, and mod you down - mark you troll for anything and everything, you'd show that way to...
All it means is you have no life, no brains and way too much time on your hands.
Troll? For stating something that is obviously true?
By the time any kind of bureaucracy is involved, the committees have over-regulated said bureaucracy with conflicting rules as to make it impossible to be effective.
Oh wait - this is my freak following me around and having fun.
I wonder how I find out the identity of the freak, as to have them barred/prohibited from touching my posts....
This reminds me of Katrina...how do you make a huge disaster even worse? Throw some incompetent federal bureaucracy into the mix. That's kind of like saying "dumb stupid person".
Incompetent is automatically implied by / synonymous with "federal" bureaucracy, isn't it?
However, one would have thought that the R/MP/MAF/IAAS attacking their own customer base was only done by the later, which I guess shows that they chose their acronymns well.
In the military, we are given a class during basic training on how to respond to superiors who give illegal orders.
Examples are given of what constitutes and illegal order, and what the proper phrasing of the response should be. Granted, you will probably end up at some kind of punitive action review, if not full court-martial for disobeying or refusing to obey a superior officer, yet, you have your out. However, if enough evidence or witnesses are available to show that the order that was given was in fact illegal, then the superior who gave said order is brought up on charges. At least that's the way it's supposed to work.
Now, if all the telcos that did this activity, were to show that they were authorized or requested by the president to do this illegal activity then wouldn't that potentially be fuel for the fire to have criminal charges brought against the President? ie - add to the charges of impeachment?
Regardless of his reasoning, committing an illegal act is still committing an illegal act, and 9/11 did not change the constitution.
Yeah, now I'm trolling - trolling for the stinking bastard who keeps following me around and dropping mod points rather than coming out into the open so that we could actually have a discussion.
Yellow bellied, lick-spittle bastard... Come on out...
Thanks to whichever of my freaks that follow me around doing personal attacks did this one - or was it just some ass-hat Macboy?
Either way - I wouldn't take any apple product if I was paid to use it - they are crap - shoddy construction, over-priced, over-restrictive pieces of garbage.
Oh yeah, and you, and if you act fast, you can get a whopping 32k color screen to boot...
Oh wait...
No I don't recall what the actual color limit was, I just remember reading that new line of Mac LCD screens had appeared to revert to pseudo-color emulation using some very small subset of typically available colors...
Only if there's a suitable replacement operating system that actually works.
Unfortunately for Microsoft, Vista just doesn't work. (Yes, I know some people have been able to get it to work for them, but hey, there's always a few lucky people - or maybe they have become numb to reboots, blue screens, slowdowns, reboots, blue screens, slowdo.....
I believe it was an 'interim' court order. No 'permanent' court order was placed, and interim means, at least infers, temporary. What's the duration limit for an interim?
I think 3 years should have more than covered the interim.
It would be more along the lines of patenting the consonants or vowel sounds - the phonemes as it were.
When an Agri business, like Cargil patents a new genetic variant of corn, they aren't patenting corn, they are patenting the variant - the modification from the norm. In this case, they've changed po-tay-toe, to po-tah-toe as it were.
Oh, and I decided to look up your comment history, and I'm not sure who was calling the kettle black here, as most of your comments were of the troll variety in my opinion, which does matter, to me at least...
You cannot patent something which exists in nature. This is the main reason that pharmaceutical companies ignore plant based drugs and go for deadly chemical cocktails that give side effects worse than the condition it treats.
You can, however, get a copyright on a particular sequence, if it were unique, and identified a specific variation, enhancement, cure that never existed before in written form.
There are only so many DNA sequences, which are then put together, like letters in an alphabet are used to create words, to express some variation in the final form of whichever plant/animal/virus/bacteria/etc, that the genetic code is for.
Thank you for the personal attack, whoever you are, I really couldn't care less what your opinions are as you have to respect someone for their opinions to matter.
I was mentioning the fact that there could be a disagreement over whether or not a law had been broken, and whether or not the people behind it would be considered criminals by another government, and/or to what extent they would be.
By showing something of a lesser degree, yet morally/ethically corrupt form, my intent was to show that differences in opinion would be made over whether or not the person doing it would be considered a criminal.
In some countries, doing something like that would potentially get you classified as a criminal, while in others, people would scoff at the people who did what you asked.
Different countries have different beliefs, laws, community standards, which will change your point of view and what you base your moral, ethical, legal definitions off of.
So while technically, my statement was not directly related to the discussion of the criminal acts described, it was in fact related as it showed something that depending on your legal basis, could be classified in the same category as these crimes which goes on to show my point that just because some Judge in the US declared that an act was illegal based on US laws, that doesn't mean that another country will concur.
I'm not saying that Canada won't, as it obviously has, in cooperating with the investigation, I'm just saying that you cannot take it for granted that what one country deems illegal, another will as well.
What would happen if a country, or worse yet, a religious order, were to try to enforce their legal/religous views on everyone else?
That's if the Canadian legal system agrees that they are criminals...
If for whatever reason, they determine that preying on stupidity isn't a crime, then a disagreement may ensue.
I'm not stating that's what will happen, just putting it out there.
I know there have been disagreements before as to what constitutes a crime, depending on where you are at, where the action took place, and whether or not the action was physical or virtual.
If I place an advertisement in a magazine, and say "Send $5.00, and SASE to xyz address" with nothing else in it, then whatever money comes my way, is mine. Granted, there are moral, and potential mail fraud issues involved if someone thinks that something is due them for their $5.00. All I have to do is mail back there SASE with a "Thank you" note, and I'm covered.
What this company did is clearly illegal, intent to defraud, etc...
What I proposed was not - yet someone, somewhere will claim they are kindred if not the same.
Well, we ought to be careful here. Depending on which companies were bilked, GWB might decide to go to war with Canada to redress the issue. Weapons of Mass Cash Dispersal and all that.

Along the lines for freenas, except that it has the current forerunner for the best filesystem available today, ZFS.

Sun was in the same boat, however, they took the effort, time and expense to make arrangements to allow them to opensource it, regardless.
They are even taking the time to re-write things that they cannot get agreements with.
Novell, on the other hand, has not done this - or at least, not to this extent.

I wholeheartedly agree with you...
However, libraries do allow you to check out videos, dvds, cds, etc...
All of which are apparently easily reproduced, then returned.
This, unfortunately, runs parallel to the making available theory...

Thank you, thank you.... I'll be here all night... Too bad Apple can't claim the same....

You my friend are the .01% of the folks who got it working.
I've got modern hardware - 64 bit, multi-cpu, multi-core - I worked with Vista all through the Beta test cycles, I've worked with Vista since release.
Most consumer hardware is unstable, sluggish and overall blows chunks with Vista.
Vista by and of itself is 30 to 60% slower than XP on the same hardware.
Reformatting, and loading XP on in place of Vista returns immediate performance improvements, and improves the user experience.
Glad you enjoy it, hate to see how much you spent to get something that can do more than crawl with Vista loaded on it.
Only if there's a suitable replacement operating system that actually works.
Unfortunately for Microsoft, Vista just doesn't work. (Yes, I know some people have been able to get it to work for them, but hey, there's always a few lucky people - or maybe they have become numb to reboots, blue screens, slowdowns, reboots, blue screens, slowdo.....

Not when the perps never entered or stepped foot on US soil.
Now, if the owners of said company ever decide to vacation in the good ole U.S. of A, then watch out...
Well, we ought to be careful here. Depending on which companies were bilked, GWB might decide to go to war with Canada to redress the issue. Weapons of Mass Cash Dispersal and all that.
I guess this means that Beizos submitted a patent for uninformed users then.
Most online shoppers with any sense, use one-time-use CC #s for their purchases.
