I second this. I do think they are more than worth it, though. My bedroom is lit up using a 38W spiral-shaped fluorescent (in a desk light tilted upwards and clipped to my bookshelf) which puts out the equiv of 150W. The whole room is lit up quite well, and I have no problems with eyestrain. In fact, it's perfect for this room. I will definitely continue to buy these bulbs after this one dies (this is the 2nd one I've bought, first one died after ~6-12mo like you said)
What about recopying the master DB to the slave in the event that the slave becomes somehow inconsistent (like if a developer stupidly writes to the slave DB by accident)?
I know this is an exceptional situation and should not occur often, but... it'd still be nice to avoid downtime while doing this.
On the other hand, for minimal downtime, couldn't Linux LVM's snapshot volumes work favorably for this?
This seems to be a new trend in car enthusiasts... lots of people at maxima.org have done it. I have no idea why people put out cash to buy such junk.
Hell, if you want true suspense and entertainment, just deck out your suspension and go autocrossing on some deserted backcountry roads... you might even get to see the cops, or kill somebody! Talk on the cellphone at the same time for maximum effect.
Or not. Do not drive dangerously on public roads, go to a racetrack or autocross event instead:)
I also have an old script/program called Swatch in use, watching syslog for certain messages. It executes a script which pages a bunch of cellphones too. You can find tarballs of swatch (search google)
Yeah, it's on the (south?) side of the harbor, away from all the action (think of the Science Center as sitting right in the middle between the Rusty Scupper and the rest of the stuff near Pratt St.)
And while you're at it, take a stroll down Charles St. (south of the harbor) and eat at Kirby's Szechuan Restaurant. Quite simply the most ORGASMIC General Tso's chicken I've ever experienced.
So the point being made here is that an ISP who specifies a static route to your internal network by way of your external IP, can successfully route packets into your private network.
I bought a MAHA C401FS charger from thomas-distributing a couple months ago in a package with 4 MAHA POWEREX 2000mAh NiMH batteries. I believe it was around $55 shipped. This charger can charge in both "slow" and "fast" mode (the owner's manual recommends you leave the plastic cover open while charging in "fast" mode to dissipate heat) and I can attest to the fact that it charges QUICKLY. Also comes with a car DC adapter in addition to its household AC adapter.
I use batteries in both my digital camera and MP3 CD player, and these MAHA 2000mAh, as well as the Sony Cyber-shot 2100mAh which came with the camera, perform very well. With a pair in the camera and a spare pair in my bag, I find absolutely no reason to worry about dead batteries while using my digital camera for an extended period of time... usually it takes several days of occasional camera use to drain the batteries down to the point where the camera shows 1/2 battery life. Good stuff.
On a related tangent to this, I've found myself getting into this mental trap at work--feeling overwhelmed at the number of tasks I have on my plate, not getting some done (just to find my coworkers asking about them later and getting on my case about it), forgetting entire tasks ("Oh, whoops, sorry, forgot you needed Java on server Z... might as well add your new employee's accounts to that server fleet since I forgot about that too..."), etc. I asked one of my coworkers (who is highly organized), how do you keep up with everything? His answer was to keep a running email thread with himself of all his TODO tasks. Since we're plastered to email (or close-by, as we need to respond to emergencies sent via email) most of the day, email is the best medium for storing such lists. Likewise, a college student that checks his notebook might have a special page in the beginning of the notebook that he can't miss containing his tasks, or if he/she has a PDA they check often, that could work... maybe a queue of SMS messages on their cellphone could do it (email your phone a short TODO list once in a while; although this can get expensive)
The point is that I never forget what needs to be done when I have a definitive TODO list within short distance that I can't miss.
I type home-row, although I do keep my hands at a slight angle as you suggest... never have any problems. I type faster than anyone I know, at least... not sure of my actual typing speed. I stretch/fidget/move around a lot, plus I rarely have to type nonstop for more than a minute or two, so that probably helps.
I don't see that even in the US--I've successfully SMS'ed Nextel & Cingular subscribers, directly using their phone number (not using an email address), from my Verizon Wireless phone.
Linux's LVM supposedly supports snapshot volumes, so you can snapshot... literally any filesystem you can create on top of a logical volume. In fact, I guess you don't even need a filesystem on top to snapshot it... since LVM tracks changes in the original volume by blocks.
If we are to survive as a species, we need to terraform this here planet a bit.
No, we need to adapt, as humans always have. That does not typically entail adapting the PLANET to OUR whims, but adapting ourselves to the planet's changes.
That almost sounds sick. I'm using an Athlon Tbird 900MHz with Slackware 8.1 with a kernel compiled without any fancy optimizations or patches, and I'll be darned if it's not perfect. Using GATOS drivers for my ATI Radeon 7500 (AIW), probably have xmms compiled from source standardly (just using -O2), and I'm using ALSA with the onboard C-Media 8338 (or whatever) chipset that my Iwill board came with. (On another note, the C-Media sucks. My Sun Ultra 5's CS4231 or whatever onboard chipset sounds much better. I think this might give me an opportunity to play with NAS or get deeper into other audio servers... haven't touched audioserver technology at all, really.)
umm, every one I've ever been to that TAKES your card (as opposed to swiping it across a reader) asks you if you want to do another transaction, before releasing your card... giving you the cash before it asks. Then again, that kind of vulnerability may not work, since the cash withdrawal transaction had finished...
Anyone interested in NES gaming (and have an old Dreamcast) should check out NesterDC: http://nemesis.kaz.ac/~fumihit/nesterdc/ (this seems to have the most current version, which I just noticed is up to version 7.1 stable... I have a 6.x version and totally forgot about it!)
Ability to quick-save the game, and save to the VMU. The emulation seemed as perfect as I've ever seen... I've played SMB3 and Metroid quite a bit... (even TMNT1) Newer versions I believe support Game Genie although the last version I tried, which was a 6.x version, Game Genie support was a tad strange (you had the make directories containing files containing the game genie codes; couldn't type them in outright)
All in all, the best reason for me to keep my Dreamcast laying around!

Like the ATI All-in-Wonder Radeons with the ATI Multimedia Center? They have realtime VCD and SVCD recording (AMD Athlon 900, 256MB PC133 SDRAM, works GREAT)
I don't think this technology is very effective against digital CDDA audio. According to the site it has a part at the edge of the disc where the CD drive attempts to read, and when the smartcard detects the request it sends back a key using an LED. Basically that kind of system would be used by software, where software runs off the CD but then goes to request this special key from this 'special area' of the CD to see if it's allowed to operate. This simply wouldn't work for CD audio, you could still copy the CDDA tracks perfectly. They couldn't encrypt the CDDA data and have the encryption 'key' on this smartcard either, 'cause no CD audio drives/players understand this system, thus a CDDA CD encoded as such wouldn't work on any CD players.
