nope, and modern OS's should keep tabs on such things, and have the ability to limit the outbound smtp traffic. Oh, wait...that's quite easy to do, now isn't it.:P
certainly! Lots of bugs, plenty of vulnerabilities. Many of them result in trojans being put on a system, even. What they aren't, however, are viruses. They're exploits. Its not an executable that I have to worry about, and more than I'd have to worry about someone setting an alias in my account to "rm -rf *" or something. Did you see me say somewhere that there were no bugs, or even exploits, in Linux? I didn't think so.
did you read any of them? I just went through and read a dozen (I've read more in the past, just wanted to see if they had changed). All are listed as easy to remove, low danger. All involve someone doing something *really* stupid (like, "once a user runs this program, it writes to all the files in the same directory..." blah). NONE are a virus. I could just as easily write a shell script that simply had as its only line: rm -rf / 2>/dev/null & You wouldn't know anything was wrong until you were screwed. Would it be a virus? No, it would be someone too STUPID to look at what they are running. Find a single "virus" in that list that is anything different. In windows, on the other hand, you can get viruses just by looking at a jpeg, or opening an email, or even just visiting a web site. To be "safe," windows users have to have active virus scanners; all linux users have to do is not have a . in their path, and not run things they don't recognize. How did the file get on the system, anyway? We're *starting* with a breach, when it comes to linux "viruses." If someone can put a file in a directory, they can do far more while they're there (like, modify the programs themselves, change configs, set up keystroke loggers, whatever...why just leave malware?). Get a clue, and realize its not just zealotry speaking when someone says Linux, and UNIX in general, doesn't have to worry about viruses. They also don't have to worry about playing WoW, or using MS Office. They're simply different environments than Windows.
"picking benchmark examples which are naturally going to scale well across boxes - where the data sets are already well partitioned"
As well they should be, if the DBA is worth anything at all. Just because they made a comparison based on non-lazy-DBA practices doesn't invalidate the output of that data.
Now, running it as single-node versus running non-RAC...perfectly valid objection.
a few hundred. I'm factoring in the fact that I've lived in fairly conservative places in the past. I am now living in arguably the most liberal city in the US (90% of the votes in the 2000 election went to Nader, for example...the biggest % he got anywhere), and even here those I know who were in the miltary hate Kerry, sans a single-digit few.
Perhaps I should have said the *most* Kerry would get is 35%...would that have made more sense? Point is, he definately won't be breaking 50%.
Kerry has no support from anyone I know in the military. Having been in the USMC, that means something. He additionally has single-digit percentage support from vets that I know.
In any case, he would *not* get 8/15ths, or more than 50%, of the military vote. Sure, I don't know the best cross-section personally, but it will be more like 35% or so from what any sane person would guess - and it should be much less than that, but 30 years is a long time to get forgetful. That, and the billionaire has somehow convinced people he cares for the poor person's plight.
A dual 3GHz server runs about $2500, so that means 8 Xeons for about the $10K price of the Orion. So that's 24-32Gflops expected, 48Gflops peak.
Very wrong. Its not linear like that. A 10-way does *not* cost only 5x a 2-way. Look up the prices. This is esp true with a 12-way. Find a 12-way xeon box out there for only 6x what you can get a 2-way for.
NO. You can NOT say "this 2 ton pink elephant," refereing one you just put on your desk.
The professor was only able to communicate what it was he was wanting them to prove wasn't there, by virtue of the fact that they all knew it was there and they were told specifically what it was there were supposed to prove didn't exist.
And the real point is that its offtopic anyway. There IS a chair, but there is NOT any code. That the GP post was modded 5 insightful or whatever is absurd - he should have been modded offtopic, or perhaps even troll. Is it a veiled attempt to suggest that linux IS in violation of using SCO code improperly? The only intelligent way to take what the GP post was saying is precisely that.
I'm all for saying things don't exist...but you can't do it in a specific sense. You can't point at something, and tell someone to prove it doesn't exist. The fact that there is something needing that proof proves, in fact, that it *does* exist. Nothingness cannot be referenced. The *idea* of a pink elephant can be referenced. A chair, when described as "this chair," can be referenced. If the prof made a big deal about using an invisible crane to put an invisible (invisible, yet pink) elephant on a desk, and the desk then crushed under the weight, then it would be comparable....and he'd still be just as stupid, and just as much of a waste of taxpayer's money.
how is this in any way related to the SCO suit? In your stupid thing, which someone pointed out involved someone spending 30 seconds to write "what chair," the clearly dewey-inspired idiot trash faux-professor was asking people to "prove this chair..." this what? He's refering to something. this chair, he says. Obviously, if he can reference it, its there.
On the other hand, SCO can't reference anything. IBM isn't saying "what code" when looking at the code sitting on the top of a desk - they're saying "what code" knowing full well that there really is no code. They can't reference it, because it doesn't exist. The judge cannot say "prove this code does not exist" because the "this" has never been shown. You have a guy that worked for SCO that also contributed a tiny bit of code that hasn't been in use for a while now...so? Does that really matter in the HUGE picture of things that are linux, and OSS in general since SCO is lumping it together in their suit? Can you really buy that it is only through efforts by IBM that linux is enterprise-ready?
Nice little worthless story that is off-topic.
Dewey is absolutely stupid, btw...and since I'm experiencing that as a reality, its true.:P
what's the problem? We want games to be realistic, right? Ads are verywhere in the Real World, so why not have billboards in your driving game, soda that actually saysCoke on it in your first-person-shooter, or whatever else? So long as its part of the game itself, and isn't something wrapped around the view and breaking the interface...that wouldn't be tolerated anyway. Putting ads in games gets more money for the industry, allowing them to make better games, and it makes the games more realistic. I dream in communism (ie - non-property...not USSR/China style), but we're in a capitalist economy. If the industry has another income source, competition will still exist and it might even drop the shelf price...imagine free games with in-game ads. I don't see the problem.
REAAALY? There are ACTUAL people OUTSIDE of the US?
Aren't they all terrorists or something?
Troll. Don't claim someone else is doing something, then do it yourself. 99.9999% of the traffic originating w/in the US is to a location in the US. Billy Bob in Backwoods, Arkansas, wants to call his sister-cousin Mary Lou. Sophia wants to call her charming husband Colin in the Hamptons. Etc, etc. Traffic originating here rarely leaves here - even traffic originating here to an overseas call center is re-routed, and you can bet your ass those call centers will be using the massively cheaper VOIP too.
Just how the hell many calls to the sub-sahara do you think originate here? If we can still facilitate such calls with a mostly-VOIP network, why should we hold it back for such a silly thing? The call will still go through, the billing will just be...interesting.
The public switched telephone network will never die.
We'll also "never need more than 640k of ram." (withhold any comments about the veracity of that, please...it still makes the point)
You do realize that even the regular voice telco system has switched, routed, packets...right? As in, they get to their destination the same way, essentially (a phone # instead of an ip...). What you get when a packet isn't delivered is irrelevant - that can be handled very easy on the application level.
Voice circuits fail, go dead, get congested, lose quality, etc...same as ip traffic. Generally for the same reasons, even. Talk about DOS - what do you think a busy signal is?;)
yes, but done one way (fee for VOIP users) the fee is only levied against VOIP users. Done through (income?) taxes, it is levied against everyone. This serves to help the land lines, as they won't have that fee and will look that much less unattractive.
we do realize that there are hundreds of thousands of people within the general area of the white house that are not goverment officials? Unless you call the wait staff in the White House, or the guy driving the taxi in front of it, or any number of other jobs, government officials....they'd still be just as dead, though.
average user will have 50? Not a chance. Hotmail will still auto-delete spam and other things from your folders after X days. If the *average* user didn't delete anything for 6 months, they'd still not be at 50Meg.
Slashdot Mirror
no, you'd just grind metal. They bought the guy a new car anyway I'm sure, so I don't see as how it matters much.
he can't get stuff to stay in orbit, as has been said a few times. There's a big difference. YOu have to go to a much, much higher orbit.
if they can prove you did it, then it wasn't anonymous. If they can't, then you can't be found guilty. Who the hell thought up this law?
nope, and modern OS's should keep tabs on such things, and have the ability to limit the outbound smtp traffic. Oh, wait...that's quite easy to do, now isn't it. :P

compare that number to RH's WS3.0

3 are bad, one is "just" asthma. Which is bad enough, sure.
Perhaps I should have said the *most* Kerry would get is 35%...would that have made more sense? Point is, he definately won't be breaking 50%.
#2 - GWB doesn't pretend that he understands the plight of the poor. He doesn't call himself an enviromentalist while driving an Exposition, either.
In any case, he would *not* get 8/15ths, or more than 50%, of the military vote.

this isn't an SMP machine. Its a micro-cluster. I doubt DOOM has mpi/pvm/etc support.
Very wrong. Its not linear like that. A 10-way does *not* cost only 5x a 2-way. Look up the prices. This is esp true with a 12-way. Find a 12-way xeon box out there for only 6x what you can get a 2-way for.

In /reality/, you can't drive a car 200mph down a road in Miama and not go to jail. In /reality/ you can't shoot monsters from hell.
Its much /more/ of an escape if its something *realistic* that you're attempting to escape in to.

I was so very sad when that happened. It was rather tragic.
YOu could always try doing work stuff at work, and personal stuff at home? Crazy idea, I guess.
