i use a AIT-2 sony drive in an autoloader (around $17,000 for a 30 tape autoloader) and use lonetar to back up from alpha linux boxes. gives me around 40MB/min on a good day.
since im working as a sysadmin at a uni, i'll add my own :
5528 - evil empire.
3416 - macintosh
1248 - 4dwm (irix)
834 - CDE (solaris)
~120 - GNOME (Linux)
~45 - KDE (linux)
~15 - Afterstep (linux + Solaris)
the rest headless.
the reason gnome numbers waay more than kde is simple - redhat ships with gnome as default.
Instead of stupid statistics can i suggest the WMs all work together ? Its a goddamn PAIN IN THE ARSE for developers to write an individual installer for EVERY FUCKING DESKTOP/DISTRO known to man...so usually they dont - which is even worse IMHO.
And get the bloody LSB out for crying out loud.
photovoltiac cells convert photons into electricity. solar power comes from sunlight which is produced by breaking or recombining hydrogen atoms. at the atomic level power is a non issue - you simply use e=mc2 and destroy matter (atoms) to create energy. electricity is not important. fusion/fission energy is. See http://www.geocities.com/spm_stm/Project.html for a cheap way to manipulate atoms (under $100).
uuh..no. the CIA personnel are there to gather intelligence. if chatting helps them to their job better and interface with friends why stop them ? plus it teaches them computer skills which would be useful in practical terms - evading admins/setting up hidden software etc. granted that the CIA doesnt do any useful job anyway....
youre missing the point..NET is basically an ASP strategy. what it delivers is fairly *brilliant* if i may say so. this is the first time that M$ has found a way to *own your data* having complete control over your finances, work habits, surfing habits, friends, *everything*..includnig the machine you paid for..NET will run on M$'s servers - nothing else. the rest of the planet will be thin clients connecting to huge ASP servers. it has nothing to do with Java - thats just a model for the core language for.NET
yeah. #linhelp ops suck too...openprojects has been going downhill and i dont really care about it...i'll b happy if it gets DoSed outta existance. although i should point out that you guys deserved a kickban but not a k-line.
his main argument is that MOZILLA supports the standards and has bugs fixed while NETSCAPE doesnt. of course mozilla is not the *official* browser but implying that both of the code bases are non standards compliant is bullshit. I hate IE, am happy with mozilla and wouldnt touch netscape 6 with a ten foot pole. as most other people will be. the better browser will always be mozilla. netscape 6 is just a hybrid patch/fork from the mozilla codebase.
and micro$hit doesnt show up AT ALL. these benchmarks are highly suspect...as in most benchmarks. basically you wont get low end benchmarks since most vendors have banned them but in general quad cpu machines are ok for most databases when backed with fiber channel arrays with hardware RAID controllers. remember than the bus and disk bandwidth is more important than the cpu speed...in general db/2 7.1 on a quad xeon 700 with 2 meg cpu cache with an icp-vortex fiber controller running linux is what i'd choose for a decent low end db server..a gig of ram should be enough.
yeah. as another fellow skydiver it takes 2.5 minutes to get down from 3500 feet. most of that is chute time and not skydiving though. its long enough so that skydiving can get *really* boring after the first 10 or so odd jumps. terminal velocity prevents you from falling faster than 200 something mph so you do have time to look around while falling...and get bored. its not as exciting as it seems but its more fun than driving a car to work everyday.:)
*sigh* you really should quit worryin about artists not getting paid. hardly 1% of the current band of opensource programmers are getting paid for their work (lets face it - more than 99% of the projects that show up on freshmeat are written by programmers who like programming - not people getting paid in any form). heck, i get paid to code and i still do most of my work on the side and release it for free. its the same for artists musicians etc. they'll code/draw/paint/sing because they LIKE doing it. its better if you get paid but its not all that important.
a better solution is to give people resources rather than cash -- something like sourceforge/freshmeat are valued far more than cash to ANY programmer and stuff like artists studios open to anyone are valued far more by the artistic community than a few million dollar plus funded artistic projects or code.
heres some other good books :

no. just keep moving. the body is none of your business. sheesh. you should know that already. where do you live ? in a city inspecting a body in an alley is the LAST thing you want to do. move on.
flamebait ? this is actually the BEST advice ive seen in this article. in our good old US of A lying to a public servant is a crime (5 years jail - although rarely enforced). So if you were half asleep from a LAN party and answered something silly youre in deeper shit than if you actually committed the crime. e.g. cop asks you - do you smoke? if you say yes and you dont thats a one way to jail ticket. if you say no but they can prove you smoked even once - same deal. if you say 'i dont remember' or 'i think i'll wait to call my lawyer' youre ok. when in doubt - DONT ANSWER. it may look suspicious but youre in deep shit as it is - no point giving em leverage.
Actually i'd recomemnd RIPEMD160 since its more secure than MD5..but yeah. i wrote a tripwire clone in one evening (and it shows..but heck it works)...Its called sentinel and its available for some time now : http://zurk.sourceforge.net
why ? simple. ripping DVDs and other media. notice you cant create files over 2GB on 32 bit platforms. large files like DVD video cant be ripped easily without a 64 bit chip. and thats where it all will come down.
linus didnt have to make changes for the transmeta CPUs....the clock changes are transparent to the OS. As AMDs will probably be the same...Intels SpeedStep definitely is, since my machine varies its clock and the OS (Linux/FreeBSD) doesnt notice.
i'll add to this one. I run XFS and its got to be the BEST filesystem ever. XFS gives you real time *guaranteed* transfers from the disk...they call it REACT or something silly...i'll trust XFS over any toher kind of filesystem. its bailed me out more times than i can remember. i've had loads of problems with SANs but XFS and AFS have always worked.
you have no "right" to sit in the company chair or desk or even walk thru their door. you have no "right" to use the company toilet or even work for them. grow up. its fairly commonsense. if you can pee in the toilet with the expectation of privacy you should be able to surf/email/whatever with the same expectation.
anonymiser wont protect you. its simple :
Your machine -> Company/ISP -> anonymiser -> website
if they sniff traffic they can sniff your anonymiser sessions since anonymiser doesnt use SSL like hushmail does. and since anonymiser enocdes URLS in the GET/POST request they can be sniffed too.
hmm...ok....you take your overcrowded highway system for 2 hrs every day while i take my flying scooter and reach my office in 15 mins. besides, im a skydiver and ive seen plenty of normal people who arent afraid to jump out of airplanes let alone ride a undersized heli.
The basic certification test is already there - you pay $1000 odd per month to get a T1. no money == no T1. by definition if you have that kind of money youre supposed to be smart. unfortunately companies often employ idiots and just plain lazy sysadmins who couldnt be bothered to secure systems. its also very difficult for an understaffed IT dept to manage thousands of systems with their associated security problems. now if only there was a simple way to upgrade the OSes automatically with trusted logs stored on a remote server when an exploit came out, we wouldnt have these problems.
no..they are all clueless fuckwits. trust me - i know one when i see one or read his answers. he deliberately avoided that one since he didnt understand the question.

yup. it works.

contact me. i'll send you some details of something that might fit you, but it'll cost you something like $50-60K.

use GAs and neural nets. they can learn. yep..its costly but with enough $$$ its possible.
