I do beleive thats the point of the order, Dish has 30 days to give tivo a pile of cash to Lic there DVR's or get sued into bankrupsy (how do you reposess a satalite anyway:) the 90mill is a rather minimal slap on the wrist, now they have to go into contract negotiations. Maybe you guys will see an improvement as Dish gets real Tivo's to replace all those DVR's out there, meaning networked HME enabled tivo's.
As a side note when is somebody going to come up with cablecard for satalite?
A hacked direct tivo user switching to cable when Series 3's come out.
They can search your computer with the same warrant powers, this forces you to incriminate yourself. by divulging something you know that can lead to damming evidence. It's possible to break nearly all forms of encryption given time and computational power so if the government realy wants in they can get in but they would have to actualy do work to do so. For a real terrorist investigation they will break the ciphers for joe blow with some kiddy porn they probably wouldent bother. Besides what terrorist is going to give up the passwords to there network vs a couple years tops on some contempt charges? realy anybody with something damming on the computer is going to take the lesser of two evils and keep there passwords private.
They are allready allocated. Modern multicast uses a source IP / port, multicast destination address/port tuple(sp?) so realy you can pick any of the piles of multicast addresses to use traffic is split up based upon the tuple that you joined. Lower end gear hasent been as specific as higher end gear in splitting up traffic leasing the OS to remove anything unwanted but modern switches listen in on multicast setup to be more specific but those times are going away as the old gear gets aged out (managed 100bt gear is about the newest stuff that would do this)
I think your missing the elegance of AMD's design, it's a NUMA design where some ram is faster to access than others and the OS can keep apps using that ram on procs closer to the ram. It also scales as you add procs since each proc has it's local memory buss. It is a bit complicated to get setup right with issues about populating all the slots since you need every slot occupied for max performance and the OS has to deal with these issues. For a server it's great since each aditional proc not only supports more threads but supports more memory and memory access.
Posted from a token ring connected computer. Yes they still make it, you can still tow a car with a station cable (untill the pigtail to get it into the laptop). It's still slow as well.
Wel first off the bill of rights allows you to speak but doesnt require anybody to listen. Public schools are not manditory, schooling is be it private or home based. Schools should be allowed to restrict there internet access as the school board chooses (your localy elected leaders) either to protect there network or enforce there rules. A simple one might be no games or no porn. Now as long as this is getting decided at the local level whats the issue? Students still have whatever access there parents grant them to the internet and that is there choice, outside of school and those same parents should be able to influence the schools as well.
As to the main sotry what they did was wrong any speech outside of school should be protected and the person that suspended the student should loose his job if not his teaching credentials for awhile.
Funny my direct tivo's dont care about phone lines anymore (modified) and according to my phone bill they only called the same number as the other direct tv receivers to tattle about what pay per view you baught. It's a simple fix to get rid of the nag screen about calling but after the first call it never needs to phone home again unless you order pay per view.
Yup it's slow but slow is better than the nothing that a cox DVR offers. I get better than an hour of content in an hour and there are more invasive methods (MTU size) to get better than that. Generaly this only annoys me when I'm watching a rip of a DVD and want to skip past the intro credits.
1) same 2) Subjective 3) tie 4) tie 5) tie 6) same
So the only catagory the DVR might be better at would be the guide interface. As a long time user of Tivo I use the my recordings a lot more than guide and like ther overlayed look. The Direct Tivo's can do a picture in a window similar to your DVR but thats personal preferance though having the option is good. Now for the rest of the features.
Tivo can move recodings off the tivo onto the server. Tivo can talk to other tivo's in the same house and move recodings around. Tivo can access content on your pc for playback on your TV. (Think rip all your DVD's and never have to touch them again) Tivo allows you to access 3rd party applications. Tivo will stream internet sources and MP3's
I think the point is should the programmer be forced to allways have COW enabled or be able to choose. It seems to make sence that the programmers could do some application profiling to figure this out and what bits it makes sence for. As to what should be the default that realy depends on your workload and is debatable I would hope it gets added to proc so it can be altered by process and global default at runtime.
There is something better its called raid, yes drive transfer rates are going up drive cache is going up (but still pitifull) but if your realy looking to make things faster you get a hardware raid card 4 drives in raid 10 to double your throughput to the drives and since some hardware raid cards can take a gig or more of ram you can write out a gig at pci-e speeds before your touching disk. Add more drives to make it faster. If your generating gigs of code on a regular basis the sub 1k investment in raid would seem worthwile.
ESX is a lot thicker than openVZ meaning it's emulating a lot more so more overhead. ESX is also more flexable as it run run windows next to lnux next to solaris next to insurt x86 thing here assuming they can deal with it's limited scsi emulated hardware. OpenVZ on the other hand uses one kernel and one filesystem it's one step up from a chrooted jail with a lot of process type limitors similar to ESX. The single filesystem realy keeps drive usage down with a copy on write scheme for the virtuals and you can update all the virtuals at once by altering the base filesystem. OpenVZ was designed for there virtuoso product line thats tageted at hosting companies who have been the big adopters of virtulization as it's a lot safer to sell 1/10th of a 3k server than 10 300 buck "servers" where the 3k box has raid redundant psu's and only takes up one RU vs 10 minitowers taking up nearly a rack and consuming a lot more power with no redundancy.
A bit off topic but since your allready using directv why not just hack a directv tivo? I would look a lot nicer than a capture card and you can still pull content off and upconvert to HD via an external linux box.
Chicago getting tac nuked by terrorists, reaction woul probably along the lines of FAE carpet bombing the sponcer nation (FAE = Fuel Air Explosive a few hundred gallons of gas a lot of flue injectors and a parachute they look a lot like nukes when they go off but none of the mess) so far the US has been pretty restrained in it's actions from 9/11 we only went to war with 2 third world nations. Stopping terorism is about finding something they care about and destroying it and thus making the war painfull of them as well. Granted if they did nuke chicago I would be looking for a nice new country to move to as 1984 would become the gold standard guidebook for US "security" and our fredoms would be gone untill the next overturning of government.
No thats just New Yorkers they dont know how to drive. Manhattan driving is binary either floored on the gas or the brakes nothing else. I live in CT where those yahoos get into there lexus SUV's for a weekend in the country and dont drive the rest of the week. Lets just say driving gets a bit more dangerous on the weekends, something about them going 10 mph or 90 mph and assuming that your supposed to sit 3 inches off the guy in front of you or somebody will cut them off.
With that your LAMP is CPU bound? What proc is CPU bound apache php or mysql? Considering the specs on yoru system it sounds like IO bound with writes from the database.
One word ghost, at least for desktops. My laptop gets ghosted once it's fully installed and I roll back to that every few months possibly reinstalling a few apps and reghosting the laptop. I dont keep the sole coppies of much anything on there email is synced via imap, calendars via webdav (moving this stuff to http://www.funambol.com/opensource/ assuming it works as well as it talks) documents are in a offline folder that gets synced up to a fileserver whenever I'm using the laptop at home and all the bookmarks etc are networked. My address book synces with my Blackberry and will move over to the previous project when thats complete. So that gets all the data on the servers and the theyare all backed up via bacula and an old DLT7000 that have several TB's worth of tapes for. Full backups are on my schedual (it's a week of changing tapes need to get a robot)and months of diffs fit on a single tape. I can also backup via bacula to DVD's it's significatly faster than the DLT but requires more human intervention and I just trust tapes more.
Lights - Dimable in all living area's and / or lots of them if they are CF or similar. I want motion sence and some sane defaults so I come home at night the correct levels of lights are brought up slowly.
Security - A keyfob or similar for entry with key backup for power outages / system failures. Work with the motion sensors from lighting. Permiter camera's are allways nice along with some internal ones (babys rooms) basic DVR should go along with this. I should be able to bring up any camera on any TV / computer I should also get a display of the motion detector zones on the same. Tie in garage door opening (with a realy secure remote) to turn off applicable sensors, things like opening a window should never be an issue from the inside (look at motion detector inputs) and should just work.
Video - Any source to any display I want to eb able to pause my tivo in the LR go up stairs to bed and start right where I left off. HD is the way to go here for my money dont try and give me plasma or LCD for main TV's maybe for the nitch bathroom or kitchen TV's. Video should include being able to video conference at least around the house and view house sources. A big server should store all the possible content (rip it off the DVD's losslessly perferably from DVD's located around the house) Tivo to Tivo MRV and server to Tivo MRV are not that hard to deal with. Perfect house might be mythtv with digital ins to deal with all the conflict resolution and on the fly up/down sampling (money isn't an object:)
Audio - Should just work and I should be able to get at least stereo in every room. 5.1 or better in heavy TV watching rooms. All audio should be in sync so I dont notice slight timing differences room to room when I have the whole house plaing one thing. While your at it acusting insulation should be installed on all new work to keep the noise down between rooms and floors nothing worse than not being able to use your home theater because it's going to wake the kids wife etc.
Remotes - Rules one buttons fancy diplay remotes are nice but buttons give you that touch feel. They need ot control everything, think presets and on screen controls (a picture in picture remote popup would be nice and easy) RF is a must. Touchpads that are normaly dark are a good idea as well as blinking lights are bothersome.
Power - Lots of it with a nice backup gen and UPS for the house.
HVAC - Lots of zones with some AI learning or similar so unused rooms are not heated / cooled as much until they are needed. The TV room should also try and keep the noise down when in movie mode. Tie in with wake up calls etc.
PBX - Tie ins with modes so the phone does not ring during dinner / movie etc.

Safty deposit box is a good choice. I have a bunch of 35gb DLT's in there and a backup hard drive.

I think you need to look at ESX version 3 they have gotten snapshots working.
Perhaps he should go into PE, bartpe and the like are easy to setup and still a windows envirnment for fixing/testing windows.

It's quite easy you just hook up a compact flash card to an adapter. You can use any old compact flash and adapters from places like http://www.acscontrol.com/Index_ACS.asp?Page=/Page s/Products/CompactFlash/IDE_To_CF_Adapter.htm
No extra power required and it fits in a 2.5 inch drive bay.

Actualy the HD Tivo has 2 HD sat tuners and 2 Terestial HD tuners but you can only record 2 HD programs at once. Terestial HD looks butifull BTW.
You have apparently never used a sat tivo.
