It continues to amaze me how there is no end to the amount of experts on slashdot. No matter bad thing happens, there are an seemingly infinite amount of people on slashdot where "it wouldn't have happened to me" and "if they had done such and such it would have prevented it" and "that's why this and this exists"
If you're so good, then band together and actually fix the issue for everyone instead of playing armchair quarterback and bitching.

It's an unfortunately coincidence that the names collide and nothing else. It's not like YouTube picked that name out of spite for a company that screwed them on some tubing.
Funny, I really dislike non-tabbed windows. The tab's text changes to red when there is a message waiting so to me it's difficult to miss that you have a new message.
Really? Have you truly ever gotten OpenLDAP, Samba, Kerberos and Bind (are you actually referring to winbind?) to act as a true Active Directory replacement? Were you able to use group policies? Distributed File System with replication? If you have please create a how-to and link me to it, I'm all ears (or is it eyes?).
"Imagine if you could change your character, and get a different story. Imagine playing through games that have "good" and "evil" story lines."
Imagine if you played Black & White:-P. Black & White is this type of game and while there is a story, I don't think it's very forced.
I agree that the hours listed on the box is just an estimate, kinda like the MPG rating on cars. Some people get it, some do worse and some do better. I probably spent a little under 20 hours on Metroid Prime, most could have finished it quicker. If he was only putting in an hour here or an hour there, you gotta think about the "setup" and backtracking that would occur. Not to mention getting focused.
My only problem with Gentoo is it just doesn't strike me as a good idea for a server, such as the asterisk server you built. If worse came to worst and you had to rebuild from scratch...three days of downtime is rediculous.
I agree. Low refresh rates don't bother me too much, 60 is no good, but 70 is ok for me personally. However, most DLP projection systems bother the hell out of me because I see the separate colors during motion or if I move my eyes. Lately I've found that 128kbps encoded mp3's don't sound near as good as 192kbps but AAC files from iTMS sound just fine. It depends on the person and the way their brain processes what it receives.
I agree. My computer at work has crashed twice in three years. Once due to a bad USB driver and once due to a failed processor fan. Other than that, it's solid. I've suffered more issues with X, among other things, on my Linux systems during the same time frame.
Windows on Dos sucked compared to the NT series after NT4. This is where saying that Linux was more reliable/stable was a real truth. It's no longer the case anymore and if you're running XP or Server 2003 I would say neither one has the advantage in stability. Now a Linux zealot might come in here and say "but you have to reboot all the time to install updates" and they're right. But at least that's planned downtime and is managable.
I'm not sure where you get your CFL's but non of the CFL's I have are full bright right away. They take a long time to reach full brightness. They also cannot be dimmed, which for me as a X10/Insteon nerd is not fun.
I agree. The non-profit I work for is now starting to get donations of the late PIII and early P4 systems. These systems were all released around the time XP was and are all very capable of running XP+Office, or just about anything a small business or home user would want to do. There is little reason for your average person to buy a new one when you consider how different things are today. A 1.8 to 3.0 increase isn't much, it's nothing compared to the Pentium 166 to 1Ghz jump I made "back in the day."
For less than $100 I can the same things with mdadm and smart. Software RAID is built into the kernel so it's more likely to work better than the drivers for whatever card you have.
Case in point. I ran software RAID on a file server at work for years. I started running of space and decided to upgrade the machine. I decided now was the time to "do it right" and ordered a hardware RAID card and new disks. After 2 months of running ok I started suffering from random system failures, one, two or more disks would fail at once. Rebooting the system would bring them back online. After 3 months of messing around with Dell and Adaptec I ripped out the card and started using software RAID again. I got better performance and no more crashes!
I've also suffered disk failures under software and hardware RAID and honestly, neither works any better than the other one for recovery. The one really nice thing about hardware RAID however is the RAID set appears to be just one drive to the system and you're able to install without any funky paritioning or initrd's.
I agree, it seems on slashdot (and actually, some of my friends) that you're an idiot if you're not running RAID but your equally dumb if you're running RAID5 because it's not a backup solution. It's as if there can't be any gray area in the matter. People make it seem like RAID5 has no purpose or benefit and everyone should just be using striping+backup. To me, the point of RAID5 or other redundancy RAID setups is it's your first line of recovery for a disk failure. If a disk fails, you replace it and you've suffered little downtime. If something major happens then yes, you restore from backup.
My other issue is with people forgetting the idea behind being sensible about what needs to be protected and how much it should cost. There is no reason why my personal collection of photos, music and video should cost me so much. Software RAID is way more than adequate for providing a cheap way to store my files. If data protection AND peak performance are what you need, then yes you need to go full hardware. WHERE'S THE MIDDLE GROUND PEOPLE?
The "hackers" are not presenting the SSL cert, the web server is. The SSL cert *is* valid because it's meeting all of the requirements because you are loading the PayPal site from the right server and everything matches. The problem on the site is because of the cross site scripting the hackers are able to change the URL's on the page to point to a new page instead. So, indeed, on first look and load the page is a valid PayPal page but when you submit any data it goes to the hacker server.
I have also been very successful at removing most spyware from machines without reformating them. I ran into a porn site specific one however that was extremely difficult to remove. In the end the user decided it was smarter (read: cheaper) for me to reinstall windows.
Actually no, that doesn't work. Last I checked on client OS's, the volume licensing is only an upgrade, not a full version. This is the reason there is a donated PC program at Microsoft, because there is no way to get a full version of Windows unless you buy the full OEM version or it came with the computer.
Agreed! Metroid Prime is just incredible. Sometimes when I first fire up the game after playing something else or just not playing GC for a while I'm amazed at how smooth everything is in Metroid Prime.
I bought my entire setup, except one new controller, used for under $70. I found Metroid Prime for $6 at a used game store. The game alone has gotten me back into gaming and now I'm looking forward to the Revolution because of it's ability to play the older games.

Yea! Lets create a way for people to extend the functionality of IE...lets call it ActiveX! BRILLIANT!

The more appropriate question is, is Cadillac of the same quality as any other GM product.
My only problem with Gentoo is it just doesn't strike me as a good idea for a server, such as the asterisk server you built. If worse came to worst and you had to rebuild from scratch...three days of downtime is rediculous.
So, what kind of 'can you solve this' question do you ask?

I'm familiar with double d racks but just how big are petabyte racks?
He's referring to Wind Waker.

Not really, you can get XP Pro for under 140 when purchased with hardware...
I was wondering the same thing. I'm sure they installed something else marked as a Windows XP update and said nothing else.
