To paraphrase clinton, at least they tried and perhaps if the political situation hadn't been fostered to be so partisan by the right wing maybe we would have gotten bin laden -- I think it was called Operation Witch Hunt Clinton. Whereas the current administration did nothing with the information that they were provided with. For all of the Republican belief in free market -- where accountability means delivering results or being shitcanned -- they certainly don't subscribe to holding anyone accountable -- so what do they believe, power for the sake of power? So what to do? Trot out the when all else fails blame Bill game -- a new version of the Blame Game? You're going to have to come up with some clever Blame Bill scenarios to revise the history of this adminstration. At least the Bush administration knew who Bin Laden was -- thanks to Bill Clinton and his bipartisan cabinet -- nothing bipartisan about this administration. Although it didn't matter because they weren't going to do anything with that information or for that matter any information -- except for perhaps a white paper from the American Enterprise Institute telling us that the world would be better off with a War that Haliburton could cater!
Theres my vitriol for the day! The marketing plan of the liberal media? Certainly not part of the government propaganda machine that Dan Bartlett is peddling today on the Sunday morning political shows that would have us believe that what is up is down and what is down is up.
Could someone have stopped 9/11 from happening, probably not. Should the current administration be held accountable for doing nothing, when they were provided with the opportunities to possibly thwart such an attack and did nothing, yes! The current administration talks about the intelligence failures that led to 9/11, and for once I agree with them. There need to be more intelligent people in charge of the security of this country. The sad thing is that perhaps the data pointing to 9/11 was making its way to where it would have been acted up, but was ignored at the very top. So rather than being a part of the solution they are actually a part of the problem.
go back to your cave. didn't seem to be illiterate idiots from what I read. they mentioned Charter Schools has canceled all PTA meetings, and all PTA events. They are sending letters to parents threatening to sue them for criticism. Sounds like a legitimate gripe to me you fucking ignorant, illiterate tard.
Whether he should be extradited to the United States is debatable but Warez fags should be hung by their balls for being so fricking ignorant. You want a fully loaded OS use OSS and one of the many great OS's. Don't sacrifice your ethics for a damned computer... Geez.
Now the magical school, that is where the action is. I can't figure out why people send their kids to public schools, because studies by Magical Schools for Action has proven that "Magical Schools that Solve All Probable and Forseeable Problems" get better test scores. Man, I just don't get people who haven't taken that next step into the future. It's there waiting for you, we just can't keep educating this kids like we're doing it now. Enroll your child in a Magical School that Solves All Probable and Forseeable Problems today. You'll be glad you did.
Next time some right wing jacko mentions wacko conspiracies, remind him of the ten year $40 million dollar investigation into whitewater that netted no indictments of the clintons... Lets have our fun with the wacko conspiracies for a couple of years, and soak the treasuries to satisfy our partisan needs. Give as good as you get.
BTW: Read some of the articles, for example the backward tallying voting machines affected consitutional amendments in florida, not the presidential votes. Don't presume this is all about presidential politics.
As quoted on MSNBC by Joe Scarborough. "America is strong enough to survive 8 years of George Bush." Except the quote mentioned Ronald Reagan instead of Bush. I've taking the liberty of modernizing that statement.

· Score: 2, Interesting
blah blah blah the left is wrong bush is right... self-employed people are God. the left is bad, the right is right. We go to war so you don't have to. we loose record numbers of jobs, we have the first president to loose jobs. You're right George W. Bush is creating a ton of self -employment opportunities out there, and no doubt a bazillion of those no longer able to be considered for unemployment are firing up their awesome pc's to make an amazing living, as Dick Cheney states, off of E-Bay. As John Edwards stated "This economy would be cooking if we considered Bake Sales as part of the economy"
The numbers "No Doubt Cooked up by the Liberal Media" are stating we're losing jobs, and the jobs that we do manage to create don't provide a livable wage. How long before the nation realizes that with a Republican President, a Republican Appointed Supreme Court, a Republican Congress that there is no other place for the blame to fall than on the republican party.
As John Stewart wisely stated on the daily show, if I may paraphrase it poorly: The Republicans are sick and tired of being in control.
The left isn't a group of skeptical quitters, unfortunately they have the thankless job of promoting things that are ruthlessly attacked which with the hindsight of many years become taken for granted: Unemployment Insurance, Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security, FDIC, SEC. The list goes on.
Read something by someone other than Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and the world is different. Might I suggest a book by another decorated Veteran Liberal such as George McGovern, a shameless and proud liberal -- who I happen to agree with.
The only people quitting are the right wing nut jobs who don't think and proceed to blame the left for everything bad in the world, or proceed to say the left is distorting everything. My eyes tell me the trust of the reality. I know a lot more unemployed people now than in the 90's under a democratic president and the strongest economy in the world. How we could reach record deficits in the span of four years comes as no surprise when you start a war and reduce taxes -- BTW: A fiscal conservative probably wouldn't recommend tax breaks as you begin a war. What happened to the concept of a nation that sacrifices in a time of war for the betterment of the country. i.e. fuel conservation in fuel effecient vehicles (not SUV's and increased reliance on terrorist country's -- Saudi Arabian -- oil), increased taxation to pay for a stronger country, better care for veteran's who bear the burden of fighting,
Neocon's suck, because they are ignorant. Neocons are ignorant, because they buy the line that the left wing controls the media. Wake up!
Where I live people like to say "if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes and it will change."
That I believe is the same strategy sun under McNealy operates under. Wait five minutes and they'll change their mind. "Solaris 9 x86 - no (wait), yes, (wait), you really shouldn't want to run solaris on x86 because we might not support it, (wait), we are fully committed to solaris on x86...
So tell me: I want to mimic the install of a single debian system and all of the packages that it includes. How do I do that? I'm not talking using the install media to install the OS and then hand apt-getting everything, because that is installing crap by hand. Unfortunately I have three drive bays in a raid five configuration otherwise, I'd just ufsdump everything. I want a kickstart, flash-archive install process on debian that I can use on hundreds of systems.
Ordered my copy on Cd's a month ago, and still have received nothing. Apparently packaging that much software is more than their organization can handle on a physical medium. Anyone else po'd that it's taking so long to receive their orders????
6. If Windows NT was really based on the source of VMS, M$ would have definitely been sued. And they haven't AFAIK. Instead, M$ had just been done with the OS/2 cooperation debacle, and it's pretty probable that they took quite a bit of code from that to get them started on NT.
Jim Allchin worked for Digital Equipment which was responsible for VMS. So much of NT was based on his knowledge of how VMS worked.
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris (Eval), Linux. There's more than enough quality software out there for people who can't afford to pay for Windows. The funny thing is they'll be better off doing it too.
Should they get patches? No. Their machines should die the horrible unpatched death that will follow.
I remember when I was first starting out in my interest of UNIX and linux, that I used linux because I could run it on a 386 for the cost of a ton of floppies. I remember having some UNIX classes and being told the licensing costs for SCO, and for Solaris. Fast forward a couple of years, and I love using Redhat, trying to convince my boss that it's worth it for the effortlessness involved in deploying redhat. Call for some price quotes, $350/server seems like a good deal. Ooops, have to pay by credit card to get the $350/server deal, No PO's. Then we call a salesperson to find out what the deal is and he tells us that it's $850/year/server. $850/year per server? That can't be right. Redhat is good, but it certainly isn't worth $850 dollars per year per server. Our redhat deployments have stopped cold, and we aren't bothering with a redhat wannabee distro either. Too bad, because the the technology was good in the redhat products. Redhat has put themselves in the position to be replaced.
Building from source once, and packaging it yourself is useful. But if you insist on building on all servers, you're downright mad, and I'd look at replacing you with someone more interested in effeciency.
Comcast certainly isn't the only ISP doing this and newer viruses/spam trojans are starting to show a trend that spammers are aware that they will be disconnected if they are obvious in their spamming behaviour. So instead of a lot of messages from a lot of machines all at once, it's a lot of machines sending a bit of mail at a constant steady rate but low enough to stay under the radar.
I really don't like microsoft, so I'm going to make the microsofties happy and make my bias obvious by admitting my obvious bias, and state that I am geniunely happy that yet another vulnerability has been found, and that I am genuinely happy that Microsoft has once again by their actions mocked their redoubled efforts to produce a secure operating system.
I think someone should just tell Microsoft Marketing that buffer overflows are a feature that people want. We'd see a brand new spin on all of these security flaws!!!
Just had to take exception to the very few patches require reboots.
Kernel upgrades require reboots and happen frequently.
Set up the SUN's auto patching mechanism and watch the number of patches pile up that require reboots.
The blade series is a crappy line of 64bit PC's which is intended to be used as any PC is. All of my coworkers have Blades, and they suck, my Compaq AP550 Workstation with a PIII 700 is better than their Blades. I don't think he misunderstood at all.
Now their high end hardware is very nice, and SunVTS is invaluable, as is OBDiag, and OpenBoot.
Some reasons why RPMS are superior to other pkg formats
rpm -Va | grep "^..5" (i.e. what files md5sum's have changed
rpm -qa --last (i.e. show me patch order)
rpm -q --whatprovides/bin/blah (i.e. show me what package this file belongs to.
rpmbuild --target i686 -bb blah.spec (i.e. rebuild me a binary based on the following specfile, useful for modifying an existing package spec file with a new patch, and rebuilding.)
Not to mention having something hand hold you through dependencies, although it would be nice if rpm's would have a standardized API that varying distributions would follow.
How about the ability remotely patch boxes, with a simple rpm -Fvh , perhaps that as easy as apt-get upgrade.
rpm -qa | sort > installed-packages
I've never seen a more retarded package format than sun packages. We're going to use 8 characters for the package name, we're going to almost always use SUNW for the first four characters, and we'll squeeze all identifying characteristics into the remaining couple of characters. No way to list files comprising the package. The fact that you install a package call libblah-1.1.0-sol8-sparc, and the packages name is SUNWblah.
Unfortunately most people don't have the time to hand craft a tarball, into a shiny binary. For those people, I think rpms are the answers to the their prayers, at least those who've used it, and looked at it. the query feature to rpm is very useful in managing packages...
One of the shortcomings that I always knock up against with netsaint is that I can pretty much monitor anything I want with it. I certain situations though the problem becomes a matter of having many items to drop into a single container. Assume I have a bandwidth threshold check, or a trap container for a device. It is possible for any number of items to be triggered on one device such that we could say a theoretical serial3/1 interface triggers a bandwidth threshold as well as a hssi1/0 on the same router. Sending those results into netsaint results in the last one in wins. Or take a similar example with a device sending traps, the device could send any number of traps corresponding to different interfaces, etc.. Is there any way of incorporating into netsaint/nagios a dynamically sized container such that the last one in doesn't necessarily eliminate the previous result. Is there any way that there could be a framework incorporated into future releases such that perhaps a new argument gets passed to send_nsca which could be an inteface id and if there is an existing interface id matching then it clears or remains the same, or if there isn't a matching id it would resize and add the new one on top of the stack.
I can dream. One thing I must say is that netsaint is a wonderful wonderful piece of software!
