  1. Re:JMX Support on What Would You Want In a Large-Scale Monitoring System? · · Score: 2, Informative

    You certainly want to check ZenOSS out then. Our instance monitors JVMs across our deployment for everything from heap size to open file descriptors to uptime for the jvm specifically-- all of which can be alerted on if desired.

  2. Re:ZenOSS all the way on What Would You Want In a Large-Scale Monitoring System? · · Score: 1

    There are plenty of tweaks that help speed things up greatly-- including disabling the section of code that calculates overall system availability (if thats not important to you).... we dump all of our syslog in to ZenOSS so the tables got quite large before the retention rules kicked in.

  3. This is nothing new... on State-Sponsored Solitaire? · · Score: 1

    Other states have had the same regulation on preinstalled games for a while. For example, Virginia has had a law stating that all games installed with the operating system have to be removed before the end user gets the computer. Which makes things interesting when solitare is protected by Windows File Protection... :-/

  4. Alternate Idea to this-- on Computer Room Hot? · · Score: 1

    After reading this, there are other options out there.... some even quieter. Thinking back to my old house that had a central vac system, if one was to eventually abandon using the central vac, you could replace the vac with a smaller fan and use it to suck the hot air out of the computer instead of using the PS fan to blow it out.
    -Or for those who really want things cool, they can just use the central vac to suck it out, but it may also suck out your powersupply! :

  5. World Wide Packets LE-22 on Fiber-to-the-Home Internet, TV, Phone in One Box · · Score: 1

    This is the Marconi's big brother--- Gigabit fiber uplink, 8 10/100 ethernet and 2 telephone jacks. Anybody drooling now?

  6. Re:what about the human side on Hospital Robots · · Score: 1

    From what I got out of the article, the robot is only a delivery droid. He runs the meds from the pharmacy to the nurses station where they will then administer the drugs with the ever loving care that they always use (laugh people)--
    Though more seriously, its quite possible that having some of the meaningless work cut out by robots will increase the bedside manor of nurses and doctors since they won't have to worry where the intern carrying the morphine is.

  7. Re:I remember when my school did this... on Cheating Detector from Georgia Tech · · Score: 1

    yes, sean arthur is still here, and he's still pissing p*ssing people off. I'm glad i'm almost gone.

  8. Not a new idea. on Cheating Detector from Georgia Tech · · Score: 1

    Virginia Tech has had this since atleast 1998. All programs that we submit are run through and any violations are sent directly to the Honor Court. Professors have said that the conviction rate is 99%, but I'm not sure if that's a scare tactic or what.

  9. Re:A word from Blacksburg... on Broadband Is Dead (Or At Least Very Ill) · · Score: 1

    The reason you're seeing Adelphia running all of this fiber is that they couldn't get their network design correct the first time they laid the fiber. Their engineers "forgot" that the signal degraded over distance. This is why two-way cable modems have been pushed back since last November to... well, they STILL don't have them.

  10. Re:Blacksburg Broadband on Broadband Is Dead (Or At Least Very Ill) · · Score: 1

    Campus only has an OC3 for their outgoing connection. Once the lines from Roanoke to Northern Virginia are done, it will be an OC12. The speeds you see are due to some crafty traffic pattern work done by CNS (Communications Network Services). They deffinately know what they're doing when it comes to the network.

  11. I wonder... on Human Genome Confirms Evolution · · Score: 1

    ... how long it will be before they say the Genome project was made up like they say the moon landings were staged...
