ever heard of NFS ? just mount the linux box a a remote partition or the MacOSX box as a remote partition and do a cp over NFS. As long as you can do NFS v3 it supports files over 2 gigs. NFS v2 has the 512 MB file limitation. NFS v3 can go upto a coupla terabytes i think.
you havent enabled 4x AA (also called quincux(sp?)) on your laptop. re-run it after enabling that in your laptop and see how crap you numbers really are. they should drop significantly.
i would imagine $4-5000 or so initially. might come down later.
most laptops are divided into :
$4-5000 : high end everything maxed out. 15 inch LCD
$2-3000 : ok for most general use. 13.3 - 14.1 inch LCDs
$800-1200 : cheapo pieces of shit. 12 - 13 inch LCDs with streaking.
i prefer having one laptop for cheapo piece of shit usage...banging around/carrying around etc. one in the $2-3000 range for home use and office use.
farenheit was to distract SGI from OpenGL while directX thrashed em in the market. worked well too..at least for what it was planned for.
the solo2's are in webtv boxes.
nope you cant. the proprietary extensions are hooks into oracle and other commercial dbs and stuff. those are all closed source hooks and the whole point of the proprietary stuff was to integrate the closed source hooks into sourceforge.
if you try to clone it your clone has to be closed source too or oracle will sue you.
hmm..last time i got a job i had the same 6 week thing. got two interviews, got two offers, accepted one. and i got laid off 8 months later (2 weeks ago). *sigh*. of course mine was not thru a headhunter...just monsterboard and resume saturation. anyone looking for java programming, sysadmin work or project management up in toronto, canada ?:) ive had headhunters up the wazoo but no employers.
yes..i'll second this. bought a panasonic toughbook and when the LCD backlight failed no one was willing to repair it (didnt have a warranty). either get an expensive laptop with a warranty or buy a dirt cheap one withouyt a warranty that you can afford to replace. My current laptop is now a P-100 which cost $150 (runs linux fine and does TCP/IP which is all i really needed). my toughbook is relegated to being a desktop with a full desktop monitor attached to it.
bottom line is -- youre really fucked. its too cheap of a disk to be worth the hassle. just go get another.
on the other hand, if you want to struggle and you have plenty of free time :
Look for an eeprom which is located on the underside of the planar near the main power connector. The chip is typically marked C46C1 - ST 39AD. It is an 8 pin package and holds the security supervisor data and the code required to unlock the embedded code on the hard drive. Replace this chip with a clean one from an unlocked laptop drive (you can burn it with a serial eeprom writer) and you should be able to format the drive. Note that you need to disassemble the housing of the drive and maybe 30% of the drive itself to get at the chip.
hmm ? tgz files are slackware packages and in comes with pkginstall or something similar at least when i used it last.
i think it had a graphical (well text mode menu) package install thingy as well.
no. mine has a pentium - 3 at 700 MHz or so and i bought it for $1400 off ebay. the only problem is that no repair shop will touch em if some small part fails and you dont have a service contract.
i have a panasonic toughbook. actually its easy to upgrade. once you open up the case its a snap to get at everything other than the floppy drive.
that said - its got a neomagic video which sucks (no 3D accel), a LCD screen which is completely sealed (which means if the backlight goes, like it did in mine after 8 months - you replace a $800 LCD -- get a COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE CONTRACT and keep it since no repair shop will touch em) and finally the hard drive is a regular fujitsu encase in gel which means it wont stand up to the shocks. A good solution might be a toughbook with one or more flash cards for the OS and files and the hard disk removed..the flash card will fit into the 2 PCMCIA slots in the toughbook. and it takes upto 768MB of RAM.
well...its technically a driver but it allows you to run SQL statements on Excel spreadsheets, text files, CSV files and everything else. and its packaged with Java. check the com.sun.* classes..its fairlyu easy to connect it to a CSV file and use SQL on it.
and it doesnt have any size either since its part of the jdk.
*shrug* move the SCO termcap over to the linux box. than your linux box will act exactly like a SCO box...alternatively you can append it on your linux box and then do a setenv TERM=ANSIC and ssh into the SCO box.
most unixes maintain a terminal database file usually in/etc/terminfo or something similar in/etc. if you add the linux terminal database to your SCO box your should be able to handle the SCO box like a linux box.
with time delay you dont get full frames.
heres a solution :
3 Breece Hill (or SpectraLogic OEMed) 2.75TB AIT-2 autoloaders with 2 sony ait-2 drives (66Mb/s throughput per autoloader) each - $30,000 each x 3 = $90,000
3 x Sun Ultra 2's @ $2000 each = $6,000 (yep they can do 66MB/sec and max out the breece hills and they can handle the compression/video..total throughput will be 66MB/sec x 3 = 198MB/s which should be more than enough to handle the video feed.)
AMANDA tape backup software (free download) and Sun solaris + a shell script.
30 AIT-2 50GB catridges (about the size of a cigarette pack) x 3 = 90 catridges (should fit in a small briefcase) per day for 2.75 x 3 = 8.25TB/day @ $3000/day
So..it can be done for $100,000 and running costs at $3000/day (plus 1 guy 10 minutes to swap the catridges from the autoloaders and cycle em at the end of the day)...which is fairly cheap for this setup. A small standalone sony AIT-2 drive in a PC can read back the tar files of the video if necessary. One large room should be able to hold all the tapes for a couple of months or so. still at $90,000 its not exactly cheap.
XFS uses genric functionality which 2.4 doesnt have but 2.5 will. thats one reason its not part of the stable kernel. i'd vote XFS anytime tho -- wish they had it backported to 2.2.20 (the only kernel i trust)
thats not the only problem. its also a scripting language and has crude hacks like assigning EmailAddress as a datatype instead of a string. its more like a bash shell for the web rather than a full featured language.
lack of a free run time interpreter kills it right off the bat tho.
if you know what the final correct output should be. what about systems where there are multiple correct and almost-correct values ? i.e. the real world. The real problem is solving problems which dont have one true solution. i.e. recognising an object in a random, slightly blurred photograph from a moving vehicle.
writing stuff down is another way. just write stuff down 20 times and you remember it.
used to do that at school..then i didnt need to do it at university since theres less learning by rote there and more practical learning.
i play Space : space1.darkent.com..its a bit more interesting than a world war game but its rather slow. the problem with games is that real world tactics tend to be used over months or weeks..not one hour. it doesnt translate well into game time.
umm....i have to say this - youre a MORON. the least you could do is allow people to save files on a network drive, lock down normal (non developer) boxes and re-ghost them if theres a problem. For developers drop em on a seperate firewalled off prtion of the network and tell em that their machines get re-imaged if IT is called in for support. Also ensure they save their work to a seperate firewalled server.
who the hell made you an IT director if you dont know about such basic stuff ? was it due to your incompetant PHB skillset or did you lie extensively on your resume ?
its built into OS/400 V4R4M0 or later. you got QSECOFR privs on the damn thing ? then you should be able to install it.
IBM also had a 5250 client access for solaris but they sold it off a while ago.
on a personal note - i HATE AS/400s. the bloody things are the biggest pain i have ever had to work with ( i used to use a 720 e series ) . at least 3270 is standard on S/390s and unix client access thingys are available freely. AS/400s dont even have that. at least there is qsh but even that is so crippled its just nasty to work with.

not if you do it by linking to their proprietary libraries and bundling their database drivers.
