The thing that pisses me off, is there is currently no one making "tunable" computers for Audi right now. We're stuck with what the vendors feed us. So if I want to go and put some big ass Garrett turbos on my car, I don't have the ability to tune the computer properly to use them. Since I'd need bigger fuel injectors to prevent it from leaning out, a comparable pulse width with the bigger injectors would supply too much fuel and it would run extremely rich or not at all.
3rd world countries don't need food, they need an economy where they get fair prices for their goods, so they can take care of themselves and don't have to rely on foreign aid.
Making internet available to them allows them to be at least somewhat competitive on the global market.
As far as stability and reliability goes, I haven't experienced any problems yet.
There are some features though that are still missing from Linux LVM, compared to AIX LVM. One of them is mirroring on the logical volume level (no mklvcopy command). You can sort of get around this by creating a software raid device, and then make it a physical disk. Or even better: just go for a hardware RAID(1/5) solution.
Another thing to keep in mind is that, unlike in AIX, you can't put *all* filesystems in LVM. Either the root filesystem or/boot has to be a non-LVM partition. I'd recommend making a root filesystem of a few hundred megs, outside of LVM. It's less of a hassle than making a separate/boot filesystem outside of LVM.
Also if you want to be able to resize live filesystems, you have to be careful about your choice of filesystem. Reiserfs for example supports online resizing, while ext3 doesn't (yet?)
All things considered Linux LVM is a great addition to Linux, but it's not as nicely integrated yet as AIX's LVM.
One final thing to note is that the Linux LVM commands seem to be modeled after HP-UX LVM rather than AIX LVM. (e.g. lvcreate instead of mklv, vgdisplay instead of lsvg... etc.) but if you're used to AIX LVM, you'll be up to speed with this in no time.
like if you run out of space in the new temporary location for the live system all updates since the snapshot are lost
This is not true. If the snapshot logical volume becomes full, you lose that particular snapshot but, heaven forbid, not the live filesystem!
In any case, I'd prefer losing a snapshot over a live filesystem running out of space. You're supposed to backup the snapshot to a more permanent location asap anyway. (to tape for instance)
I have a NCA in my contract too, but in Belgium the law has placed some reasonable limits on it.
1. The duration of any NCA is limited to 1 year. 2. It cannot be overly broad. 3. It only applies if the employee takes the initiative to leave the company. 4. When the employee leaves, the company has 2 weeks to tell him whether they want to enforce it or not 5. If the company chooses to enforce the NCA, they have to pay the employee his full salary for half of the duration of the NCA, so if you're under NCA for 1 year, they have to pay you 6 months worth of salary. 6. In case of a suspected violation of the NCA, the burden of proof is on the company to show that they actually suffered damages. Courts tend to side with the employee on these matters.
So despite what many Americans think, there really are some benefits of having a socialist government.
Okay... so the days are getting longer, but what I want to know is: does this mean that I get to sleep a bit longer every night or do I have to work a bit longer every day??
Actually, it seems that Sistina LVM mimics the HP-UX LVM rather than the AIX LVM, at least in the syntax of the commands (HP-UX: lvcreate, lvextend, lvdisplay,... vs AIX: mklv, chlv, lslv...)
Conceptually they all are more or less the same though.
Pity that free labor markets will never happen, but hey, it's nice to dream.
Free labor markets work just fine within the European Union. Citizens of the EU have been free to work and live in any other country of the union for many years.
Final Doom was 2 Doom episodes of 30 levels (Plutonia and Evolution) using the Doom 2 engine where the levels where made by amateur level designers from the Doom community.
You have it reversed... you should always bill *at least* 30 min, no matter how small the question. Else you could end up being bothered every 5 minutes with small questions because you're not charging for it anyway.

Do you really think they have to pay a programmer in India as much as one in the US (or Europe for that matter)?

One problem: Putty will put keys in the registry
... it is called a "public" key for a reason.
First of all, I don't see the problem about putting the *public* key of an ssh server in the registry
Secondly, you can easily clean up everything putty has put in the registry by using the -cleanup switch. (e.g. putty -cleanup)

LVM has snapshot capabilities built in, independent of the filesystem (as it should be!).
I haven't used it in a production environment yet, but I've experimented with it and it seemed to work well.
I chose ReiserFS over ext3 because it allows online resizing of my filesystems (in combination with the excellent LVM of course).
Just FYI: you can get a gcc 3.X compiled java from www.blackdown.org
Someone call Larry Ellison! Would make a great addition to his MiG fighter jet.
For a second I thought it said *build* your own aircraft carrier .... now that would have been a feat :)

wtf ... that link just made a popup appear in Mozilla!! This is the first time I've seen a popup in months. How did they do that??
I think the whole point of this discussion is: it's not about *what* they (the spammers) say, but about how they are delivering their message.
only Volvo = Ford nowadays
1. Create popular opensource program
2. "accidentally" leave in vulnerabilities
3. Post about it on Slashdot
4. KARMA!!!
