I just make a comment...if this food is SO SAFE, and all GMOs are all that safe, why are all the threads in public places like slashdot and slate heavily populated with Monsantos trolls always commenting "ho this is perfectly safe, and it is only just food...blah blah"...
We arent discussing "normal" food year. Havent you heard about studies, conclusions, reality itself and the experiments were all mice developed cancer after being fed with GMO?
We are talking about human lives here. I maintain "does not appear" is not enough, and less enough when there are sufficient proofs to contradict this affirmation.
The point is not being used, but being a mature product, which HyperV it is not yet, despite what they say. Performance wise, nothing beats paravirtualized Linux servers in XEN; otherwise vSphere is far better, and is much more user-friendly indeed. The licensing however is (too) expensive.
I concur that, VLC is needing some optimization on the codecs. Using mountain Lion here, and albeit it works, it is often working in the edge. It is rather noticeable, and once in a while, in some more heavy codecs, I have to minimize it for a while for it to keep up and then get back to full screen
Virtualbox should only be used for personal use, and even then it is a toy. When talking about enterprise solutions, the only game in town are either VMWare or XEN. And XEN only beats VMWare for virtualizing Linux servers IMO
The point is exactly this, many organizations just keep their data in any convenient format, even it is excel spreadsheets. This are one of the things it is hard to understand, if you want work well done, you call a plumber, and electrician, and they have to be certified, and many years of experience, references, whatever more.
And then when it comes to sensitive data that can mean to put people in peril of theft identity, people do it by themselves, or just hire a nobody to do it....
Nope, but at an estimated 900% profit margins for the coffees shops, and god only knows how much to the distributor, I guess there is an incentive for this "studies".
Sure, I drink coffee. At least, 1 mug at breakfast, often a couple more expressos during the day. Often I have to go running to the toilets, in a couple of minutes. I suspect I am allergic to it, or to some substance added when they are processing it.
Furthermore, I would like to know who paid for this study. There is a huge industry around coffee abuse.
Absolutely no idea why lobster is so expensive as it used to be a slaves and poors food, and nobody wanted to eat the darn things. Most contracts even specified "lobster, no more than 3 times a week" lol They arent tasty, and they arent exactly protein of high quality, besides the cholesterol problems. And they are darn ugly too. Besides I remember when I was in Angola that they were cheap than most food in upmarket restaurants, and even so. When eating lobster, what counts more is the preparation than the quality of the ingredient actually. Medium/Tiger prawn are so much more tastier than lobster.
The operation comes with a cost, probably losing most of the nutrients after the "treatment". Food already loses most of the value after being irradiated, and this is a worrisome trend.
As far as I am aware, a contract here, is finished as soon as my relationship with the employer is finished. Some clauses may hold water, like a 6-month condition were I cant work for the previous client, but not a whole life condition for instance. Let me say I once went to court and won, in part because my lawyer said the condition were they said all the disputes should be settled in their town was no longer valid as I wasnt already their employee.
Not kidding anyone, if you read further up the thread, I am a Mac user. And deleted the Windows 7 emulation, couldnt be bothered to have it updating everytime I thought I needed it.
If it worth the effort dealing with hardware, UEFI, lack of support for Linux, hacking and the overall inconsistency (yet), of the several Linux desktops/: I use and hack Linux servers/and in virtual infra-structures (aka cloud for PHBs), but cant bother to have Linux for my desktop. Time is money.
A turd is a turd, I wouldnt touch it even for free. Think about TCO and ROI. I used my Mac for more than a year at my job until they actually bought one "for me".
I second this comment. Been there, done that. Dont try to write it in one go, try to devise a module/plug-in architecture, and write small modules as you need them (customer automation one module/modem stats another/DHCP bookkeeping another one...you get the gist). Divide it in projects, and write your modules over time as work load permits. Or hire someone.
do it right, and use NAGIOS...It is a pain in the ass in the beggining, however if you have minimum scripting ability and SNMP knowledge , you can virtually monitor everything.
I write what you are describing for two ISPs with roughly 10,000 customers in the past. Of course you want to have a log of your modem signals to ascertain customers problems, and then, maybe a page where you input the MAC or name of customer, and you have got the current SNR whatever signals. You also want to collect netflow stats if you are billing bandwidth over usage. I wrote everything in C in the past, and someone wrote the PHP interface. In the last gig, I also wrote the web interface, the PHP interface was slow and cumbersome.
PHP my well be good for some of the frontend, specially if you are a SMALL ISP. however it is no good for the hard work. And mind you, there may be frontend solutions to administer some of this services, however they themselves do not and cannot run in PHP (although I honestly believe it is a typo of yours). Regards
The problem is not the billing or ticketing, plenty of things for that. The problem is LINKING your customer database to monitoring and provisioning automagically.

Linux has XEN, a fairly superior solution, specially if you are leveraging a virtual linux cloud... Hyper-V is an abortion.

Pity I already spent my moderations points. Mod parent up.
are you thinking of outsourcing the job?

If you are using Cisco, try nedi. We also connect NAGIOS to cacti here, and use the comments of NAGIOS to place the URL of cacti.
