wasn't referring to Windows. I've never used this Veritas on Windows, only on Solaris. There is a reason why one pays thousands of dollars for Veritas licenses, instead of using Linux LVM/ReiserFS. I'll assume you already know why.
Still waiting for ZFS --- last I checked, 01/06 didn't have it included. Maybe you have different install disks than I.
nicely put. I have read all the comments to this point, and no one seems to get the picture (except ofcourse, for this AC).
Symantec is putting forth this lawsuit because it now owns Veritas. Veritas is the best volume management software available. It is light years ahead of any competition -- and if Microsoft steals these 'trade secrets', they have every right to go after them in court. I don't think we are seeing another SCO trying to slow the inevitable death...or a company trying to pimp its virus protection.
Users who do not have the inclination, or time, to use trial and error
is a Linux/GNU distro right for said user? after all, Linux is a derivitive of unix. There are courses people can take to learn about unix -- if they don't have the time or inclination. Sun offers several. I'm sure Redhat, IBM, HP, Novell, and others all offer courses aswell? Otherwise, the best way to learn is to pick up a book and sit down in front of the command line. No teacher like experience.
If you tell someone the answer today, you will be telling them the same answer tomorrow. Experience hasn't taught them how to fix the problem, only to ask someone to fix it for them. Experience, ironically, has taught me this.
yeah, i always chalk up my slashdot alias on my resume -- so that all future employers can see how great my karma is, and that i've plenty of posts during office hours... infact, i usually place my 'Excellent Karma' under Acheivements. Alias chef_raekwon, and site http://www.slashdot.org/ next to it...;)
hopefully you aren't paying them 8-15 $ an hour...holy crap. people work for wages like that?? (i followed your link) i thought you make that if you work flipping burgers...
maybe you are referring to American Banks? I dunno. I work for a Bank (Canadian). Not so strict I would say -- conservative, ok. For the most part, however, Banks will not force anyone to stay in the position for which they were hired. Infact, the banks encourage people to fill as many roles as they can. The more you perform, the more they want to move/pay you. Basically, you turn into the problem solver, walking from one problem to the next, cleaning them up. Although, I will say that I work in Software Dev, and all of this could be moot if you are referring to the Business side (read:financial) side of banking....
please. Budweiser is a tasteless beer. "I'll have a glass of that cold liquid, please." to talk about consistency, when the rest of the world is conquering the same feat, is a lousy argument. ever tried Labatt Blue? Molson Canadian? same consistency. Stella Artois? Jupiler? Carlsberg? All consistent. The consistent part of them all, is that they are large breweries. All large breweries go through stepwise refinement, which allows for the same consistency throughout.
nb - joke i once heard about american beer (which always makes me laugh) -- it is like making love in a canoe. 'Fucking close to water'.
how your post was modded up, is beyond me. possibly it has something to do with your attempt to show the 'other side' of a non existant coin.
if i am reading your post correctly, you're saying (and i'm paraphrasing) that by having too much privacy, we as a population start making irrational decisions based on the lunacy of one or a few people? i cannot recall a situation in history, where a population had so much freedom -- that minorities and their rights had been infringed. if you know of one, please, feel free to fill us in. (you could have a valid point, with a few examples -- i am not, however, holding my breath).
however, if we are to look at some 20th century examples of minorities having their rights infringed, we will also see that privacy was lost. for example, our good buddy hitler (matter of speech. not my good buddy)-- aided in the deaths of millions of jews and other denominations. at the time, in nazi germany, privacy was only given to the highest ranking officials. children turned their fathers in....friends squealed on friends. the ss and the gestapo were very prevailent in society.
ok, not a good example. everyone wants to use that one. how about, say, stalin? stalin aided in more deaths than hitler, and more different cultured people as well. definitely no freedom there. not even stalin's advisors were safe.
moving on -- Mao TseTung. nope. same deal. and he killed Chinese.(and he was Chinese). no freedom in China...
Pol Pot? no freedom his way....
im running out of ideas...from the above, i'm sure i've covered 80% of leaders who have restricted the freedoms of minorities.
wait -- how about the Americans or Canadian governments? They imprisoned thousands of Japanese-Canadians/Americans during the war. hmmm. i'd hate to say it, but those times were weird. we thought our way of life was going to be lost. does it count, when it is to protect the freedoms of the whole, at the expense of the few? ah, but wait -- everyones freedoms were being taken away because of the war. everyone was suspicious of everyone else....so this one is a no go...
interesting stuff. -- and no, I'm not an American, just a northern neighbour.
MiB was a crack at Men in Black, another Acronym to go with the others (this one isn't apparently real)... the IRS was mentioned because it all seems so closed doors. Yes, they take your taxes, which seems fair as a citizen of said country. But, what is really happening there? why are they making decision that may affect you? who makes these decisions? etc. from my perspective, this is the appearance. As an American, you may have much better insight than what I've read in the newspapers/seen on the boob/movies, etc. (i'm sure all depictions of IRS are sour)
it is cool that you know your constitution. I'm sure most aren't really sure what it is...
there are a number of US agencies that defy all that is constitutional in the US. Why complain only about the FBI? Don't Americans have the CIA, the IRS, the Military, MiB and others to deal with? All of these groups take federal cash dollars and $pend without constraint, all the while never having to face prosecution because they are government agencies.
For a country that preaches Freedom, you guys sure are well controlled.
there is a good amount of slashdot users that absolutely hate microsoft and condemn all of their products
if we were to focus on the hatred for a second, I believe most haters hate microsoft server and subsequent server products. as you have said Linux.... is no replacement for windows in its current form, i can only assume your mentions are Desktop centric. As a Solaris/Linux Sysadmin and Developer, I too despise MS products because they are inherently difficult to integrate into a heterogeneous network. Case in point: Try to ssh to a vanilla windows server, and have batch jobs run. Everything has to be done Unix side, unless I install the most common of apps on a windows box (read: grep, sed, awk, etc....)
we'll do one-off missions rather than build any real capability to do things in space.
reminds me of someone who writes a script and hard codes every path and command. (to non scripters -- this makes it a rather useless script, good enough for a 'one-off').
In other news, Ford claims Japanese automobiles aren't real automobiles... "They weren't here in the 50's when we had some bad ass cars -- and our powerful mustang is the real deal" cites the CEO of Ford. He continued with "How can we even put those cars in the same class? I mean, damn, they last longer, are better built, but their engine light comes on when the gas cap isn't screwed on tightly enough. What kind of car does that? Doesn't sound like a real automobile to me."
sheesh. yes, sounds like a troll. never thought i'd stoop...

1. Buy Air Filtration Unit before Air gets really bad
2. Start putting Air into neat little cans, with 2 nostril holes
3. Call your new product 'Perri-Air'
4. !?!
5. PROFIT!!
there is a good amount of slashdot users that absolutely hate microsoft and condemn all of their products

if we were to focus on the hatred for a second, I believe most haters hate microsoft server and subsequent server products. as you have said Linux
As a Desktop machine, it works fine.
what about a 'liger'?
half lion, half tiger.....
Without this it would be a trade secret for all eternity and no one would ever know how it was made
kinda like those caramilk chocolate bars...how do they get the caramel inside the chocolate?
in Soviet Russia, pot smokes you!
(sorry, i couldn't resist..)
problem with natural drugs....Its like trying to smoke an aspirin to rid yourself of that headache
right. aspirin, the 'natural drug' that grows on the aspirinia tree.
