It's been a while since I've used it, but this is the FS you used on Solaris when UFS didn't cut it. You can't actually buy the FS standalone, you buy the Storage Foundation, which is a Volume Manager and File System combo. It is a traditional Volume Manager + File System, but they know quite a bit about each other. I could (for example) resize a volume and filesystem using a single command (with a couple extra arguments). It also has several features that ZFS doesn't have (yet), like shrinking volumes, removing disks, multi-master shared storage (extra $), and real time off-site mirroring (extra $$$).
Now, it's not cheap. You have to contact a VAR and get a quote that includes a service contract. It will cost more than your current setup. I think that a ZFS comparible setup (without the extra features) will be cheaper than the paid Oracle ZFS setup. But you'll have to do the actual homework yourself, when we finally get real numbers on the cost from Oracle.
Even with sod, he'd still be in violation of the two-days-a-week. The sod instructions said twice a day for 3 weeks, before cutting back to once a day.
Yes you can. Your 2D rings have a thickness of 0. If you rotate one of the 2D rings along the Y axis, so now it's in the XZ plane instead of the XY plane, you can drive it through the ring in the XY plane. As far as the ring in the XY plane is concerned, the ring in the XZ plane does not exist.
I do all those "transaction fee" transactions on my bank's website. Every place that charges a transaction fee for online payment will accept the electronic transfer from my bank for free. My bank will mail a paper check to places that don't have electronic transfer setup. I only have one, my trash service provider. I believe they only payment they accept is a check via mail or in person.
If they're receiving interest-free float loans in Accounts Payable, they're also giving interest-free float loans in Accounts Receivable. Do they think they're pulling a fast one that nobody else has figured out?
I mean because polio and measles are nearly eradicated in the US. I have no immediate plans to travel outside the US. Because of that, there is a higher probability of having a dangerous side effect from the vaccine than of coming in contact with the actual disease. Next time I do travel outside the US, there are plenty of extra vaccines I need to get anyway.
It's the same reason nobody gets smallpox vaccines anymore. If there is an actual outbreak of smallpox, measles or polio, everybody will need to get a booster anyway. When my college had an outbreak of measles, they recommended everybody come in and get vaccinated again, even if we'd already had the shots. So there's no harm in delaying the vaccine until the probabilities change.
Sorry, I realize I didn't include my timeline. I started giving my oldest shots, because it was the prudent thing to do. After she'd had 2, the original study came out. Nobody had an answer (other than the original wack job). No real experts were willing to agree or refute it until they had a chance to do real research.
I am presenting my view as I formed it 8 years ago, and as it evolved over time. Real and conclusive studies are relatively recent, and I tried to present that aspect.
I've been a bit vague on my timeline. My youngest child is older than Jenny McCarthy's kid. When I did my evalation, there was one study saying Thimersol caused Autism. There were a few experts saying "We don't think so, but we don't have any data."
You have to make the best decision you can with the data at hand. When I was presented with 2 options, I selected the reversible option. I could always get the shots later, I can't un-immunize.
The original study hadn't been debunked yet. That's the trouble with real studies vs. junk science. The junk science is so much faster to test and publish. The original study was plausible sounding, and I fell for it.
If somebody comes out with a study showing a correlation between short umbilical cords and (to pick something random but plausible sounding) anemia, then I'll err on the side of caution. In that hypothetical case, cutting the umbilical cord longer than 5cm does no harm, so go with the less risky option.
I accept that getting these shots is less risky than not, but nothing is 0% related. The casual link between the two is within the statistical margin of error, but it does not mean it's 0. It does mean that my initial caution was wrong and it put my children at a (very slightly) higher risk.
Some of us were just skepitcal. I held out on the shots, because I weighted the relative risks. Since my children and I are in a relatively low risk group for catching the diseases, I decided that unimmunized had a better probability * damage profile than immunization. At the time, it appeared that getting autism from the vaccine was a higher probability than getting the disease itself. For most of these diseases, Autism is more life altering the actual disease (assuming access to first world health care, which I have).
But now that studies have been completed, the probability has dropped (maybe to 0%, maybe not, but definitely lower). Upon re-evaluation, getting the shots is the lower risk option, so we will.
I'm not completely convinced that there is no link between the shots and autism. The probability of contracted autism has been shown to be lower than the probability of catching the disease being vaccinated against, so I'll guard against the higher probability risk.
I love being able to buy individual tracks. I ripped all my CDs, and some of the oldest CDs are scratched to hell. CDParanoia did a better job than I had any right to expect, but some of the tracks are still unbearable. I'm willing to pay a $1 "stupid tax" for not taking care of my CDs, but I'm not going to purchase the whole album again.
That depends on your network. Sure, a crappy GigE adapter connected to a fileserver through your Linksys GigE switch won't beat a local drive.
But when the big boys want serious amounts of Disk I/O, you can't fit it all in a local machine. Instead, you cable up a rack full of harddrives (a couple hundred minimum), and connect everything up to 8GBit Fiber Channel switches. Now a lot of people can do 600 MB/s of disk I/O. Even assume you're playing fast and loose with your data (using RAID0), you still need at least 4 harddrives in your local machine to get 600 MB/s peak. Good luck when one drive dies.
When the really big boys need a lot of Disk I/O, then either lease a couple fiber lines from AT&T and connect back to the centralized mega-SAN, or cloud-source a couple thousand server's local disks.
People who would want to take away my proof, are as bad are the wankers who want to convert pints to metric.
Convert away! I'll take a half-liter over a pint anyday. A US Pint is 473ml. Now, if I could get a proper UK Pint (568 ml), I'd take that, but that's pretty unlikely here in the US.
I used to use cheap polyester string. It's too easy to snap. For my last run, I used cotton string. I was glad I used the stronger string when my kids got bored and wandered off.
Your house will probably survive long enough to see terabit ethernet and that will be over optical wire with a neutrino-shielded made of Unobtainium.
I keep delaying on pulling optical cables. Why bother with the hassles of optical, when I can get a copper cable solution that runs at 1/10th the speed? My ethernet is already faster than my NAS's disk controller (old box in the closet with a PCI bus).
Attach a CAT5/6 AND a string, and pull like hell. You'll be glad you have a string in the wall when you want to pull CAT7.
Just remember, when you attach something to the string, always attach a new string too. It sucks when you finally finish pulling a run, only to have forgotten the replacement string.

Perl is just as easy to read as all the other C derivatives. Like the parent says, if you want readable Perl code, write it that way.

So there's probably a future in this.

You missed that April Fools by a few years.

Of course not. We have segways for that.

When the studies have not been completed yet, correlation may or may not be causation. Until the probabilities collapse, I keep my options open.

I forgot to mention the important part: Wear gloves, thick leather ones.
Not in a big house, and not with Coax. But I've used phone cord (not Cat3, the 4-wire flat one) to pull Cat5 in a home.
Attach a CAT5/6 AND a string, and pull like hell. You'll be glad you have a string in the wall when you want to pull CAT7.
Just remember, when you attach something to the string, always attach a new string too. It sucks when you finally finish pulling a run, only to have forgotten the replacement string.
What? I've done that many times. That's when I learned that 60+ hour workweeks and coding till 4am is counter productive.
