Funny, I was just talking about that with someone. We were lucky, we snuck the Silca tire pump out of my best friends dad's bike shop and could pump higher than the bottle could handle.
That little Italian wonder cranked out 12 bar, or 170 PSI no problem.
Poor use of the preview key. Does'nt work right in lynx.;)
BTW, I hardly count as a BSD bigot, I believe that the right tool for the right job is the answer. Sometimes that answer is BSD, but not always or I would not have tried Suse now would I?
BTW, my idea of hard is RedHat 7.1 (not exactly sure there), which damn well won't even boot on my burn box.
Easy is AIX. Load the cd. push the button... Or prebuilt Sun Jumpstart images. now THAT is easy!
Ever read George MacDonalds the "The Princess and the Goblin"?
This seminal work was read by both Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, and its impact on their work is clear. Especially the "I am not gonna explain Magic to you, dumbshit, it's Magic!" attitude they all share.
Written in the 19th century, it runs in the same vein as Alice and Kipling's works. The english is chewy at times, and can get down right sloggy.
I am always amazed at the rockin' shit OpenVMS can do... just about everything that DragonFly is suggesting... plus the fact that a hacker that got in would likely just say WTF? and log out.
Rumours are rife on the Internet at the moment about the possibility of the source code for Windows 2000 and NT4 operating systems having been leaked onto the Internet for download.
If these rumours turn out to be true, it could be disasterous to many, many organisations.
The sheer number of exploits and viruses that could possibly be released just doesn't bear thinking about.
We must stress at this time, these are only rumours.
More news as we get it.
UPDATE @ 22:46:
Steve Ballmer, Chief Executive and President of Microsoft has said in a statement,
"I can assure you that we know there has been no compromise of the integrity of the source code; that it has not been modified or tampered with in any way."
Panic over then.
What is interesting is what Ballmer did NOT say, he did not say the code did not get out, just that it had not been tampered with.
you forgot the fact that the cdrom may catch on fire if they transmittion fluidis not changed regularly... a large metal lable is transfixed over the LCD to remind you of this.
Yeah, I don't blame you... still better than using perfume to mask the smell IMHO.
This one generates a considerable amount of ozone when you want it too.
So how are fish stores/aquariums? They use mondo amounts to scrub the water, whith redox meters to make sure it does not harm the fish. I have seen generators that make 2000 mg of the stuff per hour! Home user ones still generate in the 200 range... enough to make you puke.
This finding immediately triggered the threat of the so-called "Delaney Clause," a congressionally mandated provision that requires the Food and Drug Administration to ban--literally "at the drop of a rat"--any synthetic food chemical shown to cause cancer when ingested by laboratory animals....
Saccharin's reputation was further tarnished, however, in 1981, when the National Toxicology Program, referring again to the Canadian rat study, elected to put saccharin in its "cancer causing" list-- formally declaring it an "anticipated human carcinogen."
There was no scientific basis for such a classification of saccharin as a human cancer hazard.

The pseudo science of it was that the rats were give enough saccharin to make a 55 gallon drum of soda...
On topic, I have an ozone/ion air cleaner and it does a great job doing what I want it to do... keeping the house smelling clean.

Wrong. Rolling upgrades. Don't need to take down the entire cluster to do an upgrade, and that is the uptime stat.
No. VMS has a true clustering eviroment where properly written applications can be moved wholesale from node to node in a cluster.
A NODE is not up for 6 years. A CLUSTER is up for 6 years.
And before you ask, VMS machines are like Sith Lords and cockroaches. There is always at least 2, you can do rolling upgrades.
It still is, but then, so is Windows...
/. in VMS, not case SeNsetIVIty, threading is cheaper than spawning, default file versioning, advanced ACS security...
No, VMS not Unix, no
I could go on, but I won't.

Half filled with water it got in 300+ ft. range
Dead on discription of that series.
Does not mirror the data on raid 5, it "Parity bit"s it so that the data can be "reproduced" if a drive fails.
And that is it's biggest drawback, caculating the parity bits then doing 2 writes to the drives.
Losing a drive can drop performace by 50% easy, YMMV.
As for the 6 drive limit, that is strictly up to the controller, there is no limit.
The loss is aways 1 drive out of the set, so 3 drives gets you 2 usable, 21 drives gets you 20.
Our HSG80's from DEC/Compaq/HP handle a max of 14 units, and 1.04TB total.
God knows how many that forsaken EMC frame we have raid 5's together... could be all of them.
From user 5 of 6.
Ah, so is 192.168.1.1 greater than 192.168.1.100?
Definetely not so if your netmask is 255.255.255.192
Think of it like that, IP numbers.
Oh, that brings up the trend of things like 1.888.555.1212 for phone number notations.
See? the geeks will inherit the world.

in Vegas for Veritas Vision. (Sorry, does'nt that qualify as an oxymoron?)
I a FreeBSD bigot, but I a very impressed so far.
Stable, easy as BSD to install, the fact that you can tap into NDS, which is big at our company, and translate to LDAP is nice.
Looks like a good stable of apps too.
are a playable race in the "StarFleet Battles" paper-and-pencil combat system.
They prefered drones and small fighter ships to large captial ships.
One more thing:
No one ever got fired for buying IBM...
Yeesh, Ph.D.'s. Just proves you can be trained like a poodle, not that you can think.
Gibson -> Hienlien
Sterling -> Azimov
For the over 30 crowd... =)
Ex Dues Dragon.
Le Guin makes a sudden shuddering stop with Ged in a bad spot and a Dragon drops from sky to end the story.
Considering that the stories are based on AmerIndian folktales, dropping a Greek ending on you makes a bad ending.

They already did:

Not too bad... they skipped a lot of the hard parts, quite frankly, to avoid the confusion.
Lisa Bonet (from the Cosby show) does a very good job in this movie, considering her lackluster career.
The first adapatation, which was a VERY formitive movie I saw on PBS when I was young, was much better.
Add to that the Ascent of Man (Think "Connections" with a brain) turned me into the twisted geek I am today...
Yeah, rules out OpenVMS too...

BIG Difference!
More interesting, does Windows come under prior art protection from infringing on the valid Lindows trademark?
Hmmm...

Don't go making sense... it confuses people.

we got a Itanium running VMS in the test lab.
Hot shit let me tell you, we will see how it does when we start hammering the IO system to death with a big database.
FWIW, we've got about 6000 users doing claimes on a set of Alphas, as well as DataWarehouse on 2 GS 160's.
And processors are cheap, the 2 GS160 ran about 3.5 million as configured, with storage (18 TB of Fibre based storage.)
The 32 processors were about $12000 a peice. Chump change.
will give out all their info for one of two things:

1. A large pepperoni pizza.
2. The chance to win a trip to
