GO NOVELL! GO IBM!:-)
It may seem strange, but I really am feeling some sort of loyalty to these two companies. I am way more likely to use them in future than I think I would have before the whole SCO debacle. Although I'd still never ever in the coldest darkest hour in hell use netware or AIX again(blech).
uhhhh it's the same site.
much like slashdot.org/.com go to the same place.
The problem isn't bandwidth on the site it's the DB that can't handle the connections. Well, at least it was awhile ago.
in short use the link; it's fine!
eh NFS is a fine way to do it. I might suggest that since you are trying to keep data synchronized, you could very easily make it filesystem agnostic by using rsync.
I have a cluster of 4 machines that is remotely sync'd over an ssh tunnel using rsync. It's pretty easy to to do.
ya, I don't how you can break the DNC, it's a pretty simple thing. Download the list of numbers, insert it into $DBI, search $DBI _BEFORE_ calling the number.
As for SCO, too bad they were given the right to "put up" quietly.:-/
But without using wings or tools or jumping from anything. Basically I want to start at the bottom of a canyon, and rise up to the top. How can this best be accomplished without using wires/cords, or any sort of attachemnt/tractor beam?
The fact that you are backing up 40Gigs per night speaks more to the inefficiency of the backup method than the actual size of data. I doubt your data actually grows at that rate. (40G * 365 = 1.5TB per year?)
Wrong, the data is constantly changing. That db has a 16 drive array that actually needs more because even those are constatnly thrashing. The data is changing, not adding. So the math doesn't work out, because it never really grows(well maybe a little)...just changes:-) We did talk once about using a differential backup, but in testing the restore process took almost 8 hours, and it was much quicker with all the data on 1 tape. If that particular system crashes, we're literally SOL. Nobody would have any clue what they were doing, we wouln't know sh!t from shinola. So expediancy in restoring, is critical.
Regarding security, there are ways to backup data so that the data itself is kept completely encrypted on the remote site, in such a way that even the backup provider cannot unencrypt it. Safe from packet sniffers, as well as the RIAA or other big brothers.
I'm just making sure that is something the asker is aware of. I'd rather do an online type of backup in-house, although there are ways of keeping it secure that I would be comfy with. One of things things that I feel should be stated is how important it is to keep offsite backups. Wherther by tapes, or online, etc. If you can't afford to host your own offsite storage somewhere, then by all means go with a company to do it for you. Just make sure you have asked all the questions beforehand.
Ask if/how they do secure your data. Ask if/how they have ever been compromised Ask how they restore in the event of a crash. ie, can you do it yourself? or do you have to call a tech minion, after hours support? Ask about the actual backup process...(if they say bittorrent run;-)
Anyone else have questions that _HAVE_ to be asked, that I'm forgetting?
because in newer x apps (galeon for example), the third button on the scroll actually does the same thing it does in windows ( becomes a multi-headed arrow in a circle, which you simply move the mouse about to scroll in any direction ).
Really, a Scroll mouse with third button emulation is the way to go. YOu get the best of both worlds with that. YOu get the scroll events in the apps that recognize them, and still get to keep middle-click pasting.
agreed. We do some remote backup (although on our own network), and connectivity can be an issue. one of our systems backs up 40 gigs per night. Could you imagine trying an online storage system for that? Besides, what if the remote system was compomised and your data got out? I'd ask about security of the systems (if the system is visible to you, it's visible to the bad guys), and secure transfers (ssh tunnel?) that way simple packet sniffers can't get your data. I'd be scared to transfer over our own network if it was using hubs, I'd be terrified of backing up online to another company.
Even though this is a myth I do remember seeing a video of him (at macworld I think) circa 1988, where he said that Apple was the future. I tried diggint it up on google. Can someone post a link if you know where that is?
The recipe for their success was: open source, clustering $100/mo servers, using the web to find native translators instead of using over priced local ones and hiring GUI designers from popular skins download sites.
With all the money they saved maybe they should hire somebody to do these things.
And for the love of god, make your page have scroll bars! I'm in Galeon, and the only way I could scroll through the mirrors was by click-dragging my mouse to highlight things. Very annoying.
I don't like big government either, but an FTC law (or whatever) mandating backup power for ISPs/backbones of sufficient size or type of service (business vs residenial) might be what's needed.
I agree and disagree. I wouldn't make it a required thing that ISP's _HAD_ to do to. I might come up with a scheme like they did with the emergency network dealy-bob. TV and radio stations, don't have to broadcast at any specific wattage or have any backup at all. If they want to be a part of the emergency network (I forget the exact terminaology someone help me out here), then they have to have huge generators, be able to run theoretically indefinatelly (as long as there is a supply line of fuel) without any power grid at all. They could do something like that with the Internet. Want to be a part of the governments emergency network infrastructure? Then have batteries that will run till the generator kicks in. This would require that the goernment is of course able to use your network in the even of an emergency, but let's be honest. If something bad enough happened where the government needed to take over your ISP, it's probably a big enough deal where they would have just done it anyway.
Slashdot Mirror
Yes, it has been since V4 (i think (was there a 3.5?, and no i'm not thinking nt)) since I used it. What rocks about 6.5? --you've peaked my curisoity

This should be a poll option
oops, I goofed, that's a link to the first movie
:-)
use this one instead
Mods: please mod parent down, and this up.
Use the google cache

oh ya, i forgot about that...*click click typetty type*

...but use a linux cd
;-)
I have a copy of "linux 9" I'll sell ya
uhhm, since he seems to still be using DEBIAN/PPC as he says right there. A finder replacement won't work.
That being said, maybe try enlightenment? It doesn't have too much fluff.
But can it play DVD's?
no kidding,

Can you imagine a game with these?

I use pegboard. It's sitting in piles with my cardboard boxes. Just waiting for me to hang them. :-)
I guess I'll just stick with their VCR's and TV's.
YOu could always just use them to paint the moon.
