If they treat any of them like they've treated OpenSolaris, then I'd say they would die a slow death.
At this point, the last release was June 2009. Development has stopped being exposed to the outside world, we were expecting a May release, and we're going on August now. There still has not been official announcement by Oracle on this topic either.
While OpenSolaris is not a true open source product, it has been mistreated since the Oracle take over. It is unclear why there has been nothing said on it, but I'd rather take a project death at this point than this continued silence. Several key people have left to move onto other projects as well, though others are saying that development is still continuing. And worst of all, it would be a pain in the ass to fork because of their particular license design choice.
He's favoring appearance over usefulness, because his patches are not useful at all. They provide no structural integrity. And besides, they might just fall out when the building crumbles even more.
Also, someone should have linked to his main site instead relying on 'sticky' linked article, trying to keep you at wired.
Alternately, you could consider using ZFS if you can live with the uncertainty of the opensolaris project. The major plus is that all the functionality is already there.
ZFS has all the features that btrfs hopes to achieve already, plus major speed increases when using an SSD drive. When you have a read taking place in.3 ms instead of 9 ms, the speed increases are incredible.
My hope is that ZFS can be salvaged after Oracle decides what to do with the opensolaris project. If it's on linux, even better.
I see their individual loops are covered by the creative commons license for non-commercial use with attribution, but I'm search of new On Hold music, so I'm hoping we can come up with some sort of solution. It's a problem when you have zero budget though. heh
I'm looking forward to future generations when they start to do good transitions between different loops, that will be interesting.
I don't generally trust analysts who have problems with decimal points.
http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20091119-702857.html says that Sony "reported a net loss of ¥98.9 billion for the fiscal year ended last March." Which is a little different than the ¥989.9 billion reporting in this article. Especially when you consider that Sony's revenue is listed as ¥7.730 trillion on Wikipedia.
So, a couple years ago at 'B-Fest', a Chicago festival of bad movies, I 'won' a copy of a DVD burn of someone's VHS copy. I showed it to some of my friend's kids recently, and even they started trashing it. So yes, it is out there, somewhere.
I've been using GBPVR on windows for around 4 some years, and been very happy with it. It does a great job recording, it does a good job keeping a schedule of reencoding, it works with windows codecs, and it does what a DVR should. It has a good interface for scheduling, I have it hooked to Schedules Direct, which I pay $20 a year for. It was easy to install, configure, and hack. The guy who maintains it does a good job providing a quality product for free.
I highly recommend this product for anyone who's had to deal with the mess of config files on other DVR's. And it's much better than paying Tivo or whoever $15 a month.
I think the other poster explained my position perfectly well, he gets the issue. The fact that I could get delisted within 10 days is pretty impressive for being listed there, it's normally months. And that's only because my ISP had problems with them before because the guy blocked/20's from them on a regular and repeated basis, it looks like mostly virus related.
And both ISPs were running at the same time, but you can only send mail out one direction. Am I supposed to short circuit our entire operations across our network just because we cannot send mail? It wasn't even something we even noticed for two days. You can't relay your mail through your ISP for a large company either.
So, ask yourself, which is worse, extra spam in your mailbox, or a valuable mail from a business partner to you getting dropped with no notice to you. Because if you honestly think it's the first thing, then just block 0.0.0.0/0 already and then you won't get any spam. But make sure to give them a bunch of things to fill out to make it look like you'll get right on reading their mail!
In the future, just make sure to check your new mail server IP against the blacklists beforehand. And when he says 'TTL of 12 hours', just do it already and don't argue how DNS is supposed to work.
I was one of the people that had a very bad experience with SORBS.
My company got a new ISP with an external block. I'm sure at some point that block had been used as a dynamic range. I had not set a PTR record (because the IP of the mail server changed at the last second), my PTR and A record for that mail server were not set to 12 hours (seriously, who does that?), and I was banned on the SORBS list. I had an SPF record, you could obviously see that I'm part of a legitimate organization, and it would have taken maybe 2 minutes of work for an physical admin to realize that this was a mistake.
It took two support tickets with SORBS, 5 calls to my ISP, and around 10 days to get off the list. In the meantime, we could not contact certain people using it. And what's worse is that the only solution that the admin of SORBS had was to get everyone to stop using the SORBS list. I think that the TTL requirements are the worst part of their solution.
In my opinion, an unattended, automated black list is worse than the problem of too much spam. You are blocking valid mails, and because you are blocking it at the IP level, the end user doesn't even see it show up in their spam bucket many times. If SORBS had a single admin, checking their email once a day, they could easily filter out some of these issues.
I encouraged several anti-spam vendors to stop using their services for this reason, through the different companies that we interact with. There are several other blacklists that do their job well, there is no need to use an unattended blacklist.
For instance, if you want a chroot jail to terminate in a subsection, for example/export/home/sftp/username1, you would normally do/export/home/sftp/./username1 as username1's path. Reading that, where should the chroot jail be? Well, it's the user's full path.
Based on reading that, shouldn't it be at/export/home/sftp/ as the chroot jail, and in the user's directory? That would seem to be correct, however, this isn't out openssh does it.
I know they are just trying to protect their users, but it is at the cost of flexibility.
Er, if they are reporting themselves as a type of browser, then yes, I have accurate usage rates of reported browser type. It's a non-scientific number, sure, but it's not manufactured to have a desired outcome either.
In the end, I'm more interested in finding out what browsers my users are using, or even if they are just saying they're using, so I can better tune our site for their needs.
No not really, we don't really track over time, though I have that capability. I do know that the MSIE 8 usage is way up, and really hitting the MSIE 7 usage more than anything else. The Firefox is about where it usually is.
I have a very special mission for you today, Bilbo. A high-ranked Overseer of a secret Caldari State compound in Rancer in the Mordor region has requested items of ours that must be delivered to him a.s.a.p. This job must be done in complete secrecy, we do not want the contents of this delivery to fall into the wrong hands. As a precautionary measure, we have set up an explosive mechanism inside the containers encasing these objects of ours which will trigger should anyone attempt to tamper with them. I trust you on this, Bilbo, be very discreet and avoid confrontation with hostiles en route to your destination at any cost. Make haste! This is an important mission, which will have significant impact on your faction standings.
Warning: Rancer is located in a low security area and you are sure to be raped by orcs if you enter.
I'm looking forward to his opinion directly from his blog as well. I have a feeling that he has a lot to say on this topic, if only someone would listen.
He mentioned last year about the last security czar who had no security experience, but didn't do his rant right then. And his rant should be good. `8r)
You can joke about mastering cat. hah hah. funny. sure.
But don't mess with echo, though. When everything else breaks on your unix OS, and you only have builtins alone, you just need echo and some pipes to get it back on it's feet.
You have got to be kidding me. Charge me for an expansion when we still have a broken game? You'd rather your developers work on content that writes itself instead of fixing the obvious broken game you have before you?
This shows the world how messed up their priorities are. The first release was crashy but playable. This new release crashes at known points with known saves. I have a constant crash on my game, so I can't even play it any further.

The forums have been rather full of people complaining about it as well. Especially after the OpenSolaris board has threatened to kill itself off if Oracle doesn't make some key decisions.
Just bad news all around. And it would be so easy to fix too, just by giving us an official statement on it's future.
Why did you post this link to a bunch of stolen content?
The original source is 27bslash6.com, which is David Thorne's website. Which is awesome.
He's favoring appearance over usefulness, because his patches are not useful at all. They provide no structural integrity. And besides, they might just fall out when the building crumbles even more.

Bring back Armada!
With online multiplayer, that would be awesome. I mean, Armada Online is great and all, it's totally not the same as the original.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/may/14/sony-japan-sales-financial-loss seems to be the actual source of the numbers, as that lists the ¥58.8 billion number as well. So I think this article was a copy/paste that went a bit wrong.

Yeah, this is a set of viruses that does a lot of popups and more. Skip this link, if you can. Think we'll see more of it in the future as well.

Watch it for a minute, you can see the effects the hackers are having on them.
The planet comes up.
The stuff on the planet does not, however. For instance, the cities, the trees, the creatures.
It's not sluggish to play, it just takes forever for the stuff to appear on the planet itself.
