The other day I was showing off my new ipod mini in the parking lot. It was turned off and locked. I missed slipping it back into the sleeve of my powerbook case and the ipod crashed onto the pavement and took a nasty tumble. The blue case suffered one ding, but otherwise externally it was ok.
In the car, I turned the ipod mini on the check to see if it was still alive. Instead of the normal ipod menu, I got the apple logo... it flashed... after a couple of minutes the normal ipod menu appears. I was concerned that I had damaged my brand new ipod mini.
In the car, I played a couple of songs, and all was ok. When I got home I plugged it into my powerbook and did a global copy of every file to/dev/null. I found no errors. Thankfully.
The DDoS attack of Mydoom.B is against www.microsoft.com. There is
information claiming that it may also be directed at sco.com, but this
is unsubstantiated at this time. It appears that the more credible
data is that it only performs a DDoS attack against www.microsoft.com,
though a previosu version of the virus is confirmed to attack SCO.
The Perl environment is installation dependant. The location of your siteperl, the C compiler version, the location of your libs, and even the version of your compilor are encoded into the makemaker environment.
The use of RPM to install modules will require that all distributions follow a standard.
What if I wnated to install perl 5.8 on/opt/perl/perl5.8 while my production 5.6 in running on/opt/perl/perl5.6?
What do I do if the RPM binary was built with incompatable paths and compilers?
I was an operator of a Cyber mainframes and at the console we had some really cool games. My favorate was the baseball game. The game had a "boss key", but on third shift, it wasn't needed. Ahhh.. those were the days.
I love my flatpanel iMac

I have run Linux since the early days of kernel 1.0.9 and the SLS distribution. I switched over from windows 3.1, and have never run Windows 9x. Now I have a dual processor Linux SMP application server, a firewall connected to my cable modem, a name server, and an Irix SGI O2, which I tend to use as my primary disktop. All systems, except for the O2 are running Linux. I find that I can get a lot more real work done using the multiple desktops on Linux and IRIX, but for the "enjoyment" of computing, the iMac is stunning.
My iMac is my living room computer. It is connected to my network via an 80211b airport. The only cable that extends from the computer is the power cord. The screen is sharp, and the fonts are clear,.

Here at catmanor.com, I name my computers after my cats. My firewall is Sebastian, he is a ragdoll. He is very quiet, but if you don't treat him nice, he totally ignores you. My 2 processor smp database and application server is Mink. Mink is a cat that you don't want to get mad. She is fast with her claws and has a quick attitude. My name server is called Amadeaus. Amadeaus is a rare breed called a Chantilly-tiffiny that I got from a breeder in Canada. When I got him, he was the only one located in the US. He is very vocal, and follows me around the house. You ank him a question, he responds with an answer. A perfect name server. Finally, there is Callisto. He is a laptop or a turkish angora; depending if you are talking about the hardware or the cat. He is my lap cat. When I sit down, Callisto is there. A permanent lap rug.
Here is my problem. I have a new name server called Io, and an Apple flatpanel iMac on order. I need more cats!
I see this new technology as a possible solution to my problem. I can make copies of my CD's, why not my cats!
Although I agree that it is sad that Sun has dropped soloris for the intel processor, I think that it is "A good thing" that they contentrate their efforts toward open source projects in their mainstream soloris sparc product line. This makes stronger the corporate acceptance of the open source paradymns and projects that are now "standard" features in solaris. The lack of "vendor supplied" open source features has been a major roadblock for the open source acceptance in the corporate environment. On my sparc at work, I can now run an apache web server and many other woderful programs I use at home on my linux box via the soraris/opt/sfw soloaris installation option. Soon Sun will drop thier development and support for cde desktop and replace it with gnome.
By this action, I see that Sun is just concentrating their efforts and doing thier best to promoting open source for solaris.

Bad idea.
/opt/perl/perl5.8 while my production 5.6 in running on /opt/perl/perl5.6?

What do I do if the RPM binary was built with incompatable paths and compilers?

Ibm has announced a tape cart that can hold one terabyte. Image what that does to your calculation!
But ya know, it isn't the terabytes you need to worry about. It's the petafiles.

I have had great results using my vxa tape backup. It works well with linux, macs, and those other microsoft things. see http://www.ecrix.com/
How about the bulk of the internet standards like sendmail, bind, ppp, pop3, telnet, and usenet?
enable javascript... it will fail.

I wonder if there is any significance that SUN chose to release the code on Friday the 13th?
Use mouse-potato.com instead!
Imagine how nice it would be to have a filesystem that allows me to automatically migrate data off to a tape or optical storage.
