For point-to-point transfer to large amounts of data, the protocol does't matter, as long as the protocol is sane. The time spent moving data bytes will be much higher than any protocol overhead. rsync is roughly optimal because it won't transfer portions of the file that the receiver already has. BitTorrent is for distributing data to many destinations.
To be fair, rsync + ssh is equally secure as scp. I actually think rsync uses scp in that situation (please correct me if I am wrong).
rsync and scp operate somewhat similarly if the file does't exist all on the destination. If an earlier version of the file exists, rsync transfers only the changes. Therefore it couldn't use scp - rsync does things that aren't possible with scp.
Since sometimes you have to use rsync because scp can't do it and I don't care to memorize redundant options, I normally use rsync even with scp would do.
The UTOPIA project pioneered the model (though they also showed a lot of early mismanagement)
That mismanagement wasn't coincidental. Government is designed to make and enforce rules. It's not designed launch and run tech companies. Government is supposed to be very fair, open, democratic (slow, ineffcient, slow). That's not the type of organization that does a fiber build out well.
It should be noted that while majority vote results in bad decisions (such as electing Bush and Obama), groups that reach unanimous agreement come up with great answers, albeit slowly.
Groups that require at least unanimous consent often have to come up with better solutions than anyone started with, to resolve objections. I've seen it many times where two sides couldn't agree on whether to do A or B, so they had to come up with C, something better.
Yes, that's what I was saying for the first half. The AC pointed out (correctly?) that there are fewer cheap crap developers available for Linux. AC to think that was a problem, though. Apparently AC hires the cheap ones and leaves the mess for his successor to clean up, if he can manage to get out of there in time.
AMD wouldn't launch a chip they had never booted, so it couldn't really be publicly released BEFORE it had any OS support. So, you need an OS before you release.
In fact, they really wanted to test the instruction set and design before spending big bucks fabbing the chips. Linux had already been 64 bit for five years on Alpha, so 64 bit Linux was well proven. So they created an emulator for the new instruction set and Linux was ported, running on the emulator. Therefore, Linux supported x86_64 before the processor physically existed.
No Linux fanboys on Slashdot today? That's hard to believe. That's about as likely as not having anyone who just can't admit, after all these years of fail, that their "team", Microsoft, sucks horribly. So bad that not Only is Apple spanking them in sales, but a bunch a greasy, toenail-fungus-eating hippies programming in their spare time kicked the crap out of Microsoft for servers, embedded systems, and just about anything that's not attchached to a 19" CRT.
You described me. It started by putting a free web page on my ISP. They gave you like 2MB web space when you get Internet from them. Before that, I flipped burgers, so no poaching customers. Some of the consulting customers asked about SEO, so for a while I became the SEO consultant. For a while I added hosting along with the consulting type stuff, sold the hosting business, did more custom stuff. One of the custom jobs had wider appeal, so I sold it to a few thousand people. Sold that business because I want to play with new challenges. Then I remembered a server config I wanted to try when I was hosting - multiple time delayed mirrors to different DCs. Set that up for some people, they liked it, so I set it up for a few more. Now it sells as Clonebox. I still consult on whatever Linux stuff people need. Having your name in the kernel CHANGELOG and Apache credits helps increase consulting rates.
The other side long term cost is quality of the software. For $40-50K* you can get bad Windows developer to write crap. Later, you can spend $70,000 for someone decent to fix it. On Windows, you can instead get the $70,000 guy to do it right in the first place, skipping the cheap programmer.
On Linux, you'll find fewer cheap programmers to write crap, and the $70K guys will actually understand the OS they are writing for, and have access to the people who wrote the OS.
* Numbers are in Texas dollars. Double the salaries to convert to California dollars.
** Lack of cheap, crappy coders for Linux assumes you don't hire PHP scripting tweens.
In that case, you're 100% wrong. When I was a one man shop, I consulted for some hosting companies, including a rather large one. I was also consulted for one of the top 20 most recognized web sites, serving as their top engineer when the guys who ran daily operations were over the heads. At the same time, I would occasionally call in other "one man"s as needed. In fact, when getting it right REALLY matters, one man is the way to go - Ted Ts'o is the one man to call when you absolutely, positively MUST rescue a filesystem.
Is this still Slashdot? Nobody mentioned that Linux supported x86 64 in 2001, before it was even released, while Windows was stuck at 32 bit for another four years.
This is the level of fraud that does get criminal actions against executives or the board. The OWNERS are grandmas who have mutual funds with hundreds of stocks. They had no knowledge of any wrongdoing. In the end, the owners (stockholders) end up being victims when the company goes bust.
If the power goes out at my house for a few minutes, it doesn't hurt me. There's a 60% chance that I wouldn't even notice, if I'm not home or I'm asleep. Servers crash hard when their power goes out, so you have to have backup power. If my air conditioning goes out at home, again I probably won't notice if it only last a little while. Servers would be destroyed. When the air conditioning completely went out, I can get in the car and go get a replacement part. The car has AC, so I don't even get hot, it's just an inconvenience. In fact, the bigest inconvenience when the AC went out at home was that I needed to turn off my home server.
Additionally, a datacenter uses something like 100 watts per square foot of power, which is 100 watts of heat that needs to be removed. A home uses about ONE watt per square foot. So the datacenter needs a hundred times as much power and cooling per square foot. Since it needs to be redundant in the datacenter, that's 200-300X times the power and cooling capacity of a similar sized home.
Have you actually ever talked to actual unemployed people?
My best friend was collecting unemployment for two years. When the unemployment ran out, he started working.
In my work with ex-cons, I REGULARLY watch them "look for a job" for a couple of months. Then, when their parole or probabtion officer says "have a job this week or go back to jail", they go get a job that very day.
BY FAR the majority of them hate being without work, but they just can't find any jobs within their skillset.
So work OUTSIDE your skillset (preference) for a month or three while you look for something better!
My dad worked as a janitor on the way to becoming a vice president of an oil company, flying around on his private jet. He was laid off several times. He NEVER in his life was without work for more than two weeks. I flipped burgers before I got computer science, and applied for a burger flipping job in between computer gigs.
There's nothing in my post about morals. It's basic grade school logic. You want government to a) leave you alone and b) take care of you.
You simply can't do both. You can a) control your own life , OR you can b) have me control how your life turns out. Obviously, in order for me to make sure ypu have a good life, I'd have to control your life. If you have the freedom to choose to spend your time and money on drugs, that IS the freedom to not spend it on education. It's IMPOSSIBLE for me to educate you while you're high and ditching classes. So you can EITHER have the freedom to not go to school OR I can force you to get educated. There's no way I can make your life not suck without controlling your life.
Wouldn't it be great if we lived in a society that had less homeless people and less poverty because everyone pitches in a little extra?
That'd be great. What species of alien would that be? Here on earth, where we deal with humans, not everyone "pitches in a little extra" or pitches in at all. All around I see "Now Hiring" signs. The friggin gas station is starting people at $11.50 / hour. Yet, some people choose not to work a job. They complain they are broke, I tell them the gas statiopn is hiring at $11.50 and they reply that they don't want to work at a gas station. Fine. But don't turn around and ask me to ALSO work at the gas station along with my regular job so that I can pay your bills for you.
You think that there don't exist people who do care to work but just can't find any work or no one wants to employ them? Or you think those people should be left on the street in our modern society
I've never met one. I've met a LOT of people who choose to sit on their ass rather than work a job that's not their favorite. The gas station down the street starts people at $11.50 / hour. How many people do you know who aren't qualified to sit behind the register? If they aren't working, 99% of the time it's because they choose not to.
Power will always exist so long as people are willing to delegate responsibility; government is the entity that has the power of violence over you.
and in fact government power will exist TO THE extent that people are willing to delegate responsibility to it. Think about that.
If people let government be responsible for deciding what they should put in their bodies, there will be drug laws. Hatta said he wants to get rid of drug laws.
Hatta wants to get rid of prostitution laws, again having people choose for themselves rather than delegate that responsibility to the government.
That's tyhe theme of everything Hatta said, that people should choose for themselves and not have the government responsible for running their lives. But then, Hatta wants the government to be responsible for ensuring that their income is 100X the global average. Pick one - either you are responsible for yourself, make your own decisions, or the government is responsible for you, makes the decisions for you.
You can EITHER have the freedom* to do crack, or the benefit of world class health care. We can't keep you healthy while you're smoking crack and we certainly can't keep everyone healthy while the doctors are stoned out of their minds.

It's called tyranny of the majority. The the classic line is "two wolves in sheep voting on what to have for dinner". you see it to today with Occupy bums who declare they will not get a job, but insist on taking their living from that you do work.
From a quick glance at the web site, they have no beliefs, at least not any organized beliefs they've actually thought through. They just have buzzwords that scored well in a survey. (I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt assuming it's marketing-survey based, as opposed to them being utter morons who actually think their platform is in any way coherent.)
According to their web site, their "Vision" is more or less American communism, the left-wing "we're all in it together, so yours is mine" theme:
Social Justice: Every person's civil and human rights are protected; everyone has the opportunity to obtain an excellent education from early childhood through college or trade school; affordable and high-quality healthcare is available for everyone; government is not controlled by wealthy corporations and individuals, but is truly of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Economic Justice: All people are provided with opportunities for prosperity; poverty is eliminated; the “middle class” is thriving; and our economy is appropriately regulated so that all members of society are treated fairly.
Environmental Justice: The earth's inhabitants are safe from catastrophic, human-caused climate disruption; nature is protected and preserved through sustainable practices; and our air, water, and food supplies are clean and healthy.
But their "Core Values" list includes:
Justice: Behave with fairness and compassion, and be accountable for one’s actions;
Respect: Treat all people, including those with different views, philosophies, and circumstances, with respect;
Rule of Law: Uphold the equal application of the rule of law.;
Rationality: Reach decisions consistent with facts and reason;
Farsightedness: Consider not only the immediate, but also the long term, consequences of our actions;
How do you provide "poverty is eliminated" when some people don't care to work? By robbing the people who do work, of course. So much for Justice, rule of law, and respect.
Vision: "college... high-quality healthcare is available for everyone". Again, if someone produces $18,000 / year and is going to get $20,000 worth of healthcare, and $20,00 for college, who are you taking that $40,000 from? Someone whom you're not treating with "justice", "respect", etc.
Does that plan, which has been an utter failure anytime anyone has tried anything like that, sound like "Rationality" or "Farsightedness"?
Clearly they don't know what they believe, haven't thought that through. (I assume they're not lying about most of it, and just haven't thought enough to realize that pretty much all of their "Core Values" are the opposites of their "Vision".

It's like a told my daughter - I can take care of you, or you can be a grown up. I can pay for your healthcare, your food, your transportation, etc.
If I'm paying for it, I have to make the decisions about your healthcare, your food, your transporation, etc. (I'm responsible for the decisions, after all.)
If you want to make your own decisions for your life, you are then responsible for your decisions - that's called being a grown up.
Pick either, but you can't have both. Either you are responsible for yourself, or a government bureaucrat is. Don't ask me to take care of you,
while allowing you to piss off the resources I work so hard to provide for you.
With tje taste of Java exploits exceeding one per day, it seems clear the problem is bigger than the specific exploits they are fixing. The DESIGN that allows for hundreds of vulnerabilities is seriously flawed and THAT is what they should fix.
It really looks like someone trying to use chicken wire fencing to build a dam, and they keep patching each little hole. Instead, they need to ditch the porous chicken wire and use something watertight for the barrier between VM and system.
