With regards to your pools circulation, what about using a windmill of sorts for the job instead of an electric pump? Surely you can pick up some wind in your neighborhood. It should take much wind to keep the water stirred. It's a thought.
I can't believe someone that claims to have anti-spam knowledge is suggesting this when in fact the opposite is true. Spammers frequently forgo opening an SMTP connection to the MX with the highest priority (lowest numeric value) and instead opt for the ones with the lowest priority. They do this hoping that the secondary MX doesn't have the same spam-fighting abilities as the primary MX. They're hoping that it's a simple backup or that it only queues for the recipient domain in question and doesn't validate recipient userids. The spammers hope that the primary MX will accept all mail blindly from the secondary, as is usually the case. This has been a long-standing theory that hasn't ever been disproven. This jives with what I've always seen on all my MXs.
Our telco batteries (telco people know a thing or 2 about batteries since their COs are exclusively powered by DC) get replaced every 10 years. Not because they're bad but because of the liability to the rest of the string after 10 years if one does go bad. When one goes bad you replace the entire string. Proactively replacing all batteries based on their age before one goes bad unexpectedly will dramatically reduce the costs associated with a single battery going bad. Not to mention the potential liability if a phone system goes down due to a meltdown of the DC power system. You can have redundant power inputs (line power, generator, etc) and chargers but you only have one common array of DC batteries in most COs.
So, back on topic, batteries of the sort you want in a system like this last much longer than 7 years. If your batteries only last 7 years then you're buying cheap shit. Oddly enough all our batteries are imported from somewhere in the EU (I'm dead center in the middle of the continental US).
Residential roofs, most of them, though many older homes are still putting on white singles since that's what was there before on their 40 year old home.
Commercial roofs are almost always white if they're tarred or light tans and browns if they are chip and sealed. Some cities are making some rooftops green (literally) with foliage to improve the air quality and looks of the city. Chicago comes to mind.
It's not that the panels aren't efficient enough yet. The reason for the incredibly slow adoption is just like that in every industry: people are inherently lazy. They have to have an incentive to put forth the effort to make solar power a reality. There has to be a reasonable and dare I say sizeable tangible benefit for their efforts. The tangible benefit also has to be something that can be had in short order. The most logical benefit I can think of is a significant discount on taxes. Not just personal taxes but business taxes if a business chooses to give this a shot. EPACT was a surprising good start towards the needed remedy. It still has significant flaws the must be addressed. Why excluded people heating swimming pools and hot tubs with a solar water-heating system? Are they not some of the biggest consumers of electricity? Wouldn't it make sense for these heavy hitters to also be able to reap some rewards for using a more efficient system?
I'm not sure. I only heard about it recently myself. I heard that they removed the cancerous mass but that it was a pretty nasty type of cancer that usually doesn't come with a great survival rate. My grandfather died of pancreatic cancer. They're apparently being tight-lipped about he status.
Probably because charging $0.99 would cost them money. I don't have exact figures but I do know that credit card processing companies have a minimum fee on all transactions. I'd say that it's very likely their fee plus Apple's own costs backend costs for processing incoming orders would exceed $0.99.
That's right. I've always found it funny the looks people give me when I tell them about my home lab. "You mean you have one of these at home?" they ask as they point at a Cisco 5500. "No." I answer. "I have 3; a 5505, 5509, and 5500" (sometime incorrectly referred to as a 5513). I spent the last few weekends cleaning and organizing my home office. I have 2 large bookcases (6 shelves in each) completely full of books. Hell I have books stacked on books. I spent $4k on books last year. 3/4s are either Cisco Press or O'Reilly. The rest vary wildly.
Now that's not to say that you can't find an extremely gifted and talented engineer with no home lab and few if any references books to his name. It's certainly possible to be a networking Einstein and not take your work home with you at the end of the day. Still I'd think that they'd have to do something outside of work to stay current.
All are things that I do. My LAN is behind a Pix 520 (how many people do you know that can say that?). The only port I static NAT to my desktop is for terminal services and the ACL restricts that to my company's/19. I don't use LookOut, I mean OutLook at home. I use Thunderbird. My personal mail runs through Can-It Pro and is thoroughly virus scanned. Due to my being a Sendmail admin for more than a decade I reject HTML-only email and drop HTML parts of messages that also contain a plaintext version. By all accounts I do 10,000% more than the average Joe and many times more than the run of the mill geek. I still had all those problems. Like I said before; maybe I just so happened to notice I had all those security problem and the average person and run of the mill geek does not.
I'm a highly technical and certified computer network geek. My own server was compromised twice last year. My laptop was compromised. My eBay account was compromised. My main home PC was infected twice and I had AVG on it. Now if I as a highly technical security nut can have that many problems in a single year imagine how many problem the average Internet user has. Besides that person having way more problem than I because of their inherent insecure practices, I actually noticed when I had a problem. I have to wonder how many problems I missed.
Any self-respecting geek (and one that in serious about advancing their knowledge of their trade) will have a home lab. They won't necessarily have a fancy network. I happen to be both a network geek, security geek, and system geek. I have a couple SMP servers, numerous firewalls and a shitload of routers and switches. I believe it's easier to tell based on the contents of one's home lab how serious they are about their craft.
I was thinking about what my answer would be to someone if they asked me about my home network. Invariably I'd have to tell them that it's probably fancier and contains more equipment than their corporate network. I'm not joking either. I don't have to worry about heating that side of the house. It's also 18F outside right now.
Now hold on a sec. Lets make sure we make this fair for our metric readers. 3rd grade from our imperial system equates to 1st grade for those in the metric world. Since their metric system is much more concise and easier to work with, their kids are in 1st grade from age 5 years to 8 years, 2nd grade from 9 years of age to 12 years of age, and in 3rd grade from 13-15 years of age. Of course they're on such an advanced scale that they graduate at age 16. We just have to gloss over the multiple years in the same classroom since we're Americans.;-)
They already have the tools needed to efficiently do their job. For file storage and access there are file servers. For accessing these file servers we have customized file transfer protocols that have been designed with resiliency, security, and efficiency in mind. I can dig a whole in the ground with the claw on a claw hammer. That doesn't mean it's correct. I should use a shovel. Actually, were it me I'd use our backhoe. It's a helluva lot easier.
I agree with timmarhy. You're embarrassing the hell out of yourself. Email is not a file transfer protocol. I've been a mail admin (Sendmail, at that!) for well over decade, junior. I've seen what jackasses using email to transfer files can do. Do you have any idea how many mail systems crashed in November of 1998 when people from around the globe started emailing the 26MB Star Wars Episode on trailer to all their friends? It brought system to their knees if not farther. Go find yourself a real mail admin and ask their opinion.
(Incidentally, even though all I can hear is mooing out my window at night, Verizon ran fiber to my house without any regulation saying that they had to. The old copper line satisfied all their obligations.)
Actually they were subsidized to do this very thing by Uncle Sam well over a decade ago. They're just now getting around to doing it.
Whoa whoa whoa. There's your problem. The entire mbox is read from disk for wuimapd to read and pass off the correct UIDs. You're not consuming a lot of network I/O (unless you're NFS mounting the mbox files which will ultimately destroy your mail spools, I guarantee it) but you're killing your disk I/O. BTW, Sendmail isn't a LDA. It doesn't write anything other than to disk other than queue files. Procmail is a LDA and is most likely the one you're using. It's what writes to you Berkley mbox spools. Procmail can also write to MailDir which is one of the fixes for your problem..... I just realized that you're the guy I just replied to with another message. Oh well; I'm not rewriting that now.:-)
I would recommend switching to MailDir if your IMAP server supports it and strongly recommend looking into Cyrus-IMAPd. It's nice. You can also replicate it across the backend which is a very good thing.
BTW, and I'm not arguing on the side of using email as a freaking file transfer protocol, but you can NFS mount volumes contains MailDir structures. That's the only way to actually share mail stores on *nix systems unless you stuff it into a DB. You absolutely can not under and circumstances do that with Berkley mbox spools. It looks like you already know that based on your flock statements but I just wanted to point that out again anyhow in case you didn't know about MailDir. Procmail supports MailDir natively.

LOL. I heard that suggested once. I haven't tried that one. It can't hurt to try it. My favorite method is SMTP tarpitting. That's always fun.

It's especially bad if you have a couple old (but sacred) copper pans that have warped a little bit. Not contact means no induction. Ouch.

The rewards gets even bigger if your state is one that mandates that utility companies buy back surplus power from alternative energy customers.

That's a poor choice of words. You do realize that Steve Jobs has pancreatic cancer, don't you?

If it was possible to mod you even higher I would.

Aren't PSTs limited to 2GB?
