Do you also have mandatory CPR training in Switzerland? To require mandatory CPR training makes sense...it costs little and increases the safety of everyone and if you deny this you are just an egotistic asshole!
And what are you talking about with me complaining? And provide an answer to what? An answer to what reasons is this bad for? I didn't complain about anything, and you yourself hit a better reason than laziness why this is a horrible idea when you just said something about someone else using your dvd in your player, which could be expanded to your kids watching a dvd or something. I think the multitude of other reasons why the fingerprint/whatever identification is a bad idea is pretty obvious. And I still fail to see what I was complaining about.
But arguing over the internet where we're probably both misunderstanding each other is pretty pointless anyways.
How do you get your DVD into the player? Through the remote? Is going to the machine to do that a pain? You'd presumably authenticate when you did that, and then in theory it could retain the authentication until the DVD was removed.
That particular argument does not make sense. There are a million other reasons why this is a bad idea, don't pick the silliest.
When I was in high school, i was employed by the school to assist with the internet rollout (We acquired a T1 line), run cable, set up networking, and all sorts of random tech support and installs.
We had a spanish teacher who was far from the brightest bulb in the tree - she had done a lot of drugs in the 60s and 70s. Very nice lady and I liked her, but she wasn't too smart.
One day I was setting up a patch panel and she came flying to me almost in tears babbling something about not meaning to do anything, she didn't even know what she did, etc...
I managed to calm her down enough to determine that she had an error on her screen about performing an illegal operation and she thought she was going to jail. She spent 5 minutes trying to convince me that she didn't even mean to do whatever it was she did, she was just looking up some library books or something before I got it through to her that it was a standard error message and the cops weren't going to be knocking down the classroom door any second.
Yes it is. the 747 Gear looks like that so that the rear tires hit before the front tires. If you look, the gear "post" is perpendicular to the plane, while the wheels sit at an angle and straighten out once the plane is actually on the ground.
When you check your blind spots to merge lanes, how much does your body move? Four point seatbelts (at least the one I have tried on) interefered too much with this. Granted a modified rear view mirror can help with this, but not everybody is going to be able to "understand" that.
While a good idea in theory, they really aren't a good option for mainstream passenger automobiles.
Indeed they are. Pretty much the only reason it took us that long to get rid of the nova labs was Mentor Graphics. Eventuallly, we just gave the students that needed mentor access to the Netra cluster, as the linux version of Mentor is junky.
As far as our servers go, we're phasing out solaris as well. Our webservers are moving to linux, our DNS/DHCP machines are linux, everything else is linux. The only holdouts are the AFS servers, which we have some linux test machines now, as well as a few license servers/other random servers.
We'll never be rid of solaris, because some applications demand it, but we definitely have switched to linux for most things these days, and are trending in that direction.
I can't speak for the other departments, as I only administer the CS department, and I know all the kiosk machines run CDE on solaris, but I think in general solaris is losing ground due to the cost of sparc hardware.
Would you call japanese anime porn Western or Eastern? I haven't seen much of it, but it would appear that every alien/whatever has breasts the size of most people's heads.
Sounds good. My email address is decipherable by looking at my url...Match the name with the domain name (minus www) and fire me an email or something.
Good luck with it. I'd offer to help with more than hosting, but I'm pretty busy with work and school and the like.
Show me product and I'll consider giving you space, depending on how much you are talking about.
I run the mirror site at UW Madison CSL. We're pressed for space at the moment, but we should get some more fileservers in the coming months (maybe weeks) and if you can get something organized, I'll consider hosting it.
Yes, thank you, I understand all this. I'm a sysadmin at a University, and we do something similar with all (well, most) packages installed in AFS, in separate directories.
I guess my complaint was not really with how UNIX does things, it's with the lack of ability to EASILY discern where a package installed all of its junk.
I am quite familiar with package managers, and I have been using gentoo, with its lovely portage system, for several years now.
I have no troubles at all with packages that aren't in my portage tree, and I can install them myself just fine.
THe problem comes when someone who hasn't been using *nix systems for 15 years tries to figure out how to uninstall program foo that they installed. In Windows, you can remove c:\progra~1\progname and remove most of the program, and that's good enough for my mother. Sure, it doesn't get rid of all the system files that package foo installed, but it will get rid of most of the bulk.
Take a standard UNIX app that is too new or something to have a package, that a non-unixy person needs to install on their new linux system, and then decides to uninstall...if they didn't install it from their package manager, they have no idea where it lives (/usr/share/foo??/usr/local/foo??/usr/lib/foo??), and a locate or find won't necessarily help if it is a somewhat ambiguous package name.
Maybe I'm not explaning myself well...unixy people have no problem finding whatever they have done, but a new user who is used to everything being (mostly, don't get me started on system files) installed more or less in 1, standardly located unless they changed it in the install process, directory. (c:\program files)
The complaint wasn't that it isn't possible for this to be easy, it's that it is difficult to do so. I guess yell at package makers/programmers rather than the unix standard...
The first thing to change should be how programs get installed.
EVERYTHING right now goes in/usr, without a directory, because everybody is too lazy to have/usr/foo/bin and/usr/foo/lib in their respective environment variables, because it's too much of a "pain" to put them in there on software installation, and it makes library linking more difficult.
Right now, if I want to uninstall a program, I have to remove it from about 10 different places, many of which aren't obvious (/etc,/usr/lib,/usr/bin,/usr/share, et al.) and there's no good way to do it.
Find a way (maybe symlinks/usr/lib/foo.so ->/usr/local/foo/lib/foo.so, maybe something else, I don't care) to make it so program installation/uninstallation makes more sense.
I had a watercooling setup on a T-Bird 1200. I came home from work one day to find the computer in high temperature alarm, beeping it's brains out. I don't know why it didn't shut off.
I rebooted, went into the BIOS, and looked at the CPU temperature to see if it was a false lmsensors alarm or something. It was sitting at 100C!!
I felt the waterblock, and burned the shit out of my hand. The hoses were practically melted when I touched them. I immediately shut the whole thing down. It turned out the pump had died sometime during the day.
The whole thing continued working until I sold it to my friend a year later or so. I guess it finally died a few months ago. I have no idea how long it was running at 100C, but it was probably a good long time. I'm amazed it still worked.

Made for a funny story to my faculty supervisors.
I fail to see any airline buying any product that displays the word "crashed" upon any error.
Ah, I had read it as wheel ruts, similar to those you find on tractor trails usually. Would be interesting to see a MG with 2 foot clearance, haha.
That MG must have had a bit more ground clearance than the ones I've seen.
You forgot the "In Soviet Russia"

You had hands?? Back in my day, we just had flippers.
Come to think of it, they were pretty good for cupping and carrying water around.
Just because we can do more amazing things doesn't make the first thing less amazing, heh. Personally, I'm impressed by them both.

That's mostly because those of us with juvenile senses of humor repeatedly say "It's a tit bit nipply out" enough to drive the country batty.
