1) Space. We designed a 12x14 room. I comprimised and cut it in half. We're going to expand the room this summer so I get the origianl space planned - just not enough room.
2) A/C. To save money we decided the space didn't need a seperate airco. Oh, yes it does - all those boxes make a lot of heat.
Maybe aggravate - I've been dosed with CS (tear gas) perhaps 6 times in my life - once *breathing* the stuff for maybe five minutes - no known problems.
Bad Guys - the people on the *other* end of the gun barrel. It's shorthand - used rather than saying "the pposition" "aggressor" "ivan the commie" "abdoul the sheepherder"
Marine Barracks, 8th & I in Washington D.C. have (or had as of 1989) responsibility for riot control in D.C. - backing up the DC metro police and the National Gaurd.
Marines units on deployment can be called on for a variety of missions - they're not just there to storm ashore and break things. Would you rather see riot control teams control mobs of savages or just hose them down with machine guns?
Like I saw mentioned in another post, what happens if someone gets seriously injured? This just seems to be one giant lawsuit waiting to happen.
Um. Which hurts more? Falling down or having your head stove in by a rifle butt? Or being jabbed by a bayonet? When I had 'riot control' training in the Marines we had intimidation, CS, rifle butts and bayonets to control unruly savages. Slippery goo sounds like a decent tool to deply, not a nuclear weapon.
Sure.. and then you're *stuck* there if the company restructures or eliminates your job. Sucks to transfer.. sucks more to have to leave again just to find employment. Been there, done that.
Copy the data across a dedicted network connection to a large disk array. Arrange the backups so you have sequential backups - Day1,day2,day3 etc. on disk
Back the files from the disk array to tape.
You should come in under your window w/ the net xfer. You have all day to write tapes.
Explanation - I don't want a touchy feely manager, a paper-pusher, a weenie. I want a leader. You don't have to be super-tech, or Joe Cool, or an uber-boss, just an effective leader of men. And women. You know what I mean.
Your grandmother is sick, fer shure. We have compassion. But she's not making everyone ELSE in her community give up CRTs. This nut is a public noise, and deserves to be soundly thumped a time or dozen on his head.
A cheaper, cost-effective replacement for the 'X' track is the 'over the plastic hill with two pieces of humpy track' set. Plus, you get the cool tunnel effect.
Why? You may find 'large' organizations rolling out Linux. You will find 'large' organizations who manage large server farms doing exactly what you're doing... with various and sundry flavors of Unix.
For example.. Sun. They claim (and I'd tend to believe them) that they use only Sun products in house. For everything. Yes, even the receptionist desktops that I've seen were Ultra 10s. There is one large enterprise that is 100% MS free...
There WAS a substantial investment in ground power

Before Afghanistan, conventional military wisdom held that a war can't be won without substantial numbers of ground troops. Even as the Afghanistan campaign began, pundits flooded cable talk shows asserting that air power alone wasn't enough, that there would be substantial human sacrifice.
I hate to point this out.. but the Afghanistan campaign was, in fact, won with a large investment of ground troops. They just weren't American troops. Air power may have been the key to get the Alliance moving, but the war was in fact won by the Alliance, not US airpower.
Or rather, too much effort in the wrong direction. I can't imagine this would work very well.
You don't need to stuff your file system data into a database, you need to investigate high-availability.. ya know, fall over systems, redundant everything etc.
My biggest objection would be that you're violating the KISS rule, and making life a living hell for whoever follows you.
you can't just say that and leave... HOW better? Is it really worth it for a small company/workgroup? I want answers and I don't want to research, why else am i lurking on slashdot?

Fine. You stay here. Have a nice life, we'll send you a postcard.

'cause I remember stuff like this when I *started* doing IT, in 1990. I'm too young to be crabby and cynical!

Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.

Technology got us into this mess, it will just have to get us out.
I hate that phrase "that looks gay" but in this case, I have to agree. Maybe not "gay". Lame.
It was a single seater, three wheeled wonder.
Gentlemen. You can't put a date in this. Think of it as evolution in action.
If you're running a server you really really really want SCSI. It doens't cost more, all things considered (uptime, reliability, future expansion).

not at all. a perfectly innocent misunderstanding.

Or, maybe I just have a limited imagination.
. I disagree with the poster who said this was overkill for less than a hundred machines
I didn't SAY it was overkill, I *asked*.
you can't just say that and leave... HOW better? Is it really worth it for a small company/workgroup? I want answers and I don't want to research, why else am i lurking on slashdot?
Isn't LDAP a bit .. overkill? The poster described a workgroup, which to me isn't more than a hundred machines, at most.
