Every product they sell will die? That's absurd. I've been a NetApp customer and supported some reasonable size installations. The last thing anyone cared about, other than some techy admins, is WAFL. It's just not one of their selling points. Things like: 24/7 support, un-crashability, high performance NFS, world-wide resellers, *those* sell NetApps. If someone else (and guess what they have tons of competitors now!) sells pre-packaged servers that fulfill all of the above, ZFS may well be a great choice for the underlying FS, but it's not the One FS That Will Destroy NetApp, imho.
It dosn't seem like many people are addressing the larger issue. What the class is doing is a public service, along with a lesson. This is one of the things that make OS better than CS. If universities spent more time finding and fixing public OS projects, rather than doing pointless "redo wheel" programs, think how much this could help small and mid-sized projects.
If part of the class includes joining mailing lists, talking with other developers, and resolving bugs, they gain valuable real world people skills. IMHO..
That's simply bullshit. Companies can't fire people for organizing labor unions.

And in case you've been totaling ignoring the news, the economy sucks, and people are beating down the doors wanting auto plant jobs.
Unions are one of the things that make manufacturing in the US more expensive (safety requirements, wages). Though this could be an argument against unions, since these jobs are fleeing the US to cheaper shores.
ha! What about the 1000+ soldiers who have died because of government lies, just in the latest Iraq conflict? That's not even counting all the soldiers who will die because of depleted uranium in the coming years. What about the people who were killed by above ground nuclear testing? Death penalty victims? Environmental regulations violated? Militarism in domestic police forces?
Which "murderous governments" has the US brought to an end?
We have almost requirements here at Blur Studio. I tried the Deadline beta, and it seems like a definate improvement over Backburner =) AS you mentioned, it's not very scalable. How many machines do you guys have on your farm? I wasn't very confident in Deadline being able to handle a large number of hosts, with it's XML polling architecture.
We have our own in-house solution as well: Assburner. Assburner is GPLed and we hope to do a public release in the next month or two. Along with our production tracking software: Resin.
Snatch was horribly disappointing
on
'Snatch'

· Score: 1
First a few things about Snatch. There was no real plot, and no real characters. The editing, while fast and furious, was just not well done. Watch "Requiem for a Dream" for a recent example of well done fast cuts. Guy Ritchie tried to make a whle film out of the "ironic mishaps" ending of "Lock, Stock", and it just dosn't come off..
The music was mixed entirely too loud, and in some scenes actually drowned out the actors.. after the brilliant soundtrack to "Lock, Stock", I was not happy..
Second, PLEASE stop comparing all British films to Trainspotting, and crime films to Pulp Fiction. If you do so please at least try to explain why you feel they are similiar. There was nothing in style, emotion, content or anything else in common with Snatch and Trainspotting.

Because of the GUI.
yeah, because the "terrorists" are really going to be subject to court orders. On a server in Pakistan. Running on a unsuspecting Windows 0wned box.
