I can still buy brand new sun V100. But even when it was new, it shouldn't have had the 128g limit. Nothing else of that era that I run does.
As for the pipe, your forgetting the lock at the access check which doesn't require root. Those pipes should not be there.
What you say of SMF is what people said of the registry too. My rc scripts aren't slow and its easy to step through them to figure out what broke and why. You can't do that with the services stuff. Oh, if the binary file gets modified the right way, solaris will start programs and you have to dig though the audit logs to figure out how it started. It would have been much cleaner if they would have just written the current status to a different file. Then that way I can do security checks on the binary files. You would think this would trip up everyone thats doing a hash checks on files in their backups.
After using freebsd's jail, containers are required for my use. All the other junk they bring along is just wrong. Why can't they do it like freebsd of "run this in this jail" and leave it at that? I don't need or want to do a mirrored complete system install. I want a minial system of an init like thing and the deamon and its config files and nothing else (including shared libs)
I've been using sun hardware since the days of the sun 4/110. They dropped the ball a few times and so far they have fixed it most of the time (except the init pipe deadlock thing). I've recomeneded a a fair amount of sun hardware to clients over the years and they tend to be happy. Some of that was things like 690 and E10k when they were new.
The services thing needs to be rethought and reimplemented. Right now its a script kiddie tool waiting to be abused.
So I'm going to burn through twice as much power to move zeros around that will never be used?
General purpose computing doesn't need to deal with over 4 billion unique things. Even big end database servers don't need that much space. Every single database serve I've dealt with that needed that much space was poorly designed. Redesign the database and it needs drop a bunch and the responsiveness tends to increase by a factor of at least 100x.
The 32->64 bit problem isn't the same as the 8->16 or 16->32 problem. If it was, why not just jump to 128 bit?
There are some super computing fields that need bigger grunt but they aren't general purpose computers are they?
Thats funny. Solaris 10 is why we are dumping the sun platform for something else. It looks like they hired too many windows programers to deal with core items in the OS and that means security features I've been using for years can be walked around.
I'm not so impressed with the recent hardware either. A brand new v100 can't cope with drives bigger than 128 gig under solaris.
I'll consider solaris (and sun) again when they clean up their act. That means 1) remove named pipes from/etc, 2) don't modify config files on boot. 3) bring back text config files (xlm isn't text)
The old exploits for the named pipes still can trash a system since deadlocking pid 1 is always good thing.
The new services thing is windows registry meets init and cron and rc. Guys, next time read the docs on the fields in inittab before your reinvent the wheel. And never ever ever write binary data on boot to a configuration file. You would think the pros at sun would have a clue as to why that was so evil. Even if a jr programmer was doing the work, you would have thought they would have gotten a clue from say mount which keeps its table of mounted stuff away from the every so critical file of what its supposed to do on boot.
The new containers require so many packages that its just wrong. I don't know about anyone else but my base system only includes about 20 packages, not a dvd full of crud. I don't like my production systems to have every tool in a crackers toolbox should they get in but containers require live update or whatever and that requires too much other junk.
Solaris 10 has some cool stuff. However the my risk analysis say the disadvantages outweigh the advantages so there will be no more new sun orders from my company. And I'm always scared of companies that start doing software the Windows Way.
More to the point, if you RMA a sick drive, then any attempts to write will simply write to the spare sectors and if the drive is messed up enough it may reallocate some of the 1st bad sectors (which have data that hasn't been overwritten) back to new blocks.
So you can't wipe dead drives and you can't wipe sick drives which only leaves drives that don't need to be RMAed. That means that if you are in an industry where the stuff on the disk can not ever get into someone elses hands, then you can't RMA any dead or sick disks. Then you can destory them in a fun way.
How did protectionism kill the UK car industry? I thought what killed it was trying to sell 1950's designs in the 1970's. Once safety started to be important, the cost of designing a car rose so quickly that only the largest car companies could survive.
It is a service economy because there isn't anything else left to do.
Americas real advantage is that it wasn't bombed in either WWI or WWII. That advantage was properly managed until about the 1960 and most of the modern advantages are just riding on those old advantages.
We think that TV is paid for by the toothpaste company because people see the ads and buy toothpaste. That isn't quite how it works. What is going on is an ad company goes to the toothpaste company and does their sales show (which they get paid for even if they don't get the job) and then the toothpaste company pays them even more money. Next the ad company pays someone else to tell them how many people are watching and then they do a nice song and dance and give those numbers to the people that are paying them. The real facts of how much toothpaste is sold rarely is ever considered in the whole game and the end consumber is just reduced to a mostly made up stistical number.
So police protocol is wrong. Its their job to figure out if people are a risk. This time they will pay which means the tax payers will pay. In my book, this means at least one cop should be out of a job.
The cashier was an idiot since new bills will run when your run the marking pens over them and since they were in order, they were uncirculated bills.
The cop should been fired. He should sue and win because the brought out the hand cuffs. If I'm on the jury, I'm going to award as much as I can. The cops push their authority and they had a better choice. If their rules don't allow it, bankrupt the entire department and start over.
I knew a guy who had the habit of tossing dimes into the open cash draw at places like Mc Donald's. Apparently at the time McD's had a policy where they were much more worried if you had extra cash since it means you ripped off a customer where if you came up short you may be stealing from the company. The result is if your over by $.10 you end up counting and recounting and the manager gets to recount and someone has to fill out forms incase the irate costumer shows up looking for their $.10. He claimed that if you could get a dime in three draws it would waste an hour of a managers time.
The 50 and 100 issue in the US is more of an anti-robbery thing. If you claim you don't take anything bigger than a $20, then the most change you'll need to give someone is $19 or so which means you can move more cash to the safe more often where its less likely to be stolen.
I think its a case where people in the US have a better idea of how expensive it is to deal with money. Its not just the bank fees but the fact that someone can steal it. Of course you in australia stealing $200 in one dollar coins takes far more effort then putting 200 US $1 bills in a pocket. Australia also has a more efficient electronic banking system for dealing with small transactions which means more places are dealing with less cash. The dealing with cash is very expense for compaines which is why McDonnalds wants you to pay for your burger with eftpos and take away $200 so they don't have to pay the bank to deal with it.
In which case the officer should have said, We need to make sure we can find you until the SS decides and you can do this the easy way or the hard way. They didn't need the cuffs and all they needed to was ask him to wait at the police station until the SS showed up.
And its a different system than the one that copes with "speed of light". Its missing stuff like "price of oil" or "price of gold". It gets "area of missouri" but not "area of germany". It seems to be triggered on a small set of keywords and an associated set.
The problem is that a car needs several hundreds of pounds of batteries if they are lead acid or several tens of thousands of dollars worth of other batteries that have a limited life span. Any system that replaces batteries will need to change several at once and then what do you do with the people that only want to change a few at a time to save some money? That results in a bad mix of battery efficiencies and that leads to many other complications.
There are millions of people who seem to not have a clue about your point. Its funny reading some of the letters to the editors in the Aussie news papers about how DST is bad for the milk cows. Funny thing is milk cows want to be milked at dawn and never seem to look at their watches.
There are studies that show that once a year for a few weeks kids are going to school in the dark and accident rates go way up. One study that I read in the DOT's monthly journal had dollar figures associated with the accidents.
So why don't these colos manage their ip space better? You don't put new customers in with your solid customers. You put your new customers in the smalest block you cna find and after a few months or years, move them to another address block. If the ISP is clueless, find another one.
MAPS an organization that millions of servers ask about spam every day. If an large ISP or co-lo can't cope with this reality, what other issues are going to bite you in the future?
I was in two rural places in QLD in the last week looking at what it will take to roll out service in the areas. What you say isn't true north of Townsville and most built up areas south of there are along major roads. Get away from them and you have zero potential customers.
Maybe you should study a demographic density map. Australia has 20 million people spread out in 3 major metro areas combined with a few rural areas on the east coast. Most of the land mass has no people at all. Melbourne and Sydney are more dense than most US and European cities.
Check out who owns the local stations and do a trade mark search on the Foxtel. The contracts for the Aussie market is just part of the standard contracts for much of the TV production and there is no major reason not to run most US tv shows within 24 hours in Australia.
You bought into the "Rural Australia" theory that isn't true. Melbourne is bigger than Chicago now and Sydney is even bigger. South Western Bell has a lower service density the areas that Telstra cover and what used to be Mountain Bell is much lower.
If Microsoft told them about it, they can be nailed for racketeering based on the RICO act. The reason for this is that Microsoft can prevent you from getting to their competitions programs because several Linux vendors use Bittorrent as well as X-plane. If your local campus book store sells MS flight sim and Microsoft told the university that bit torrent should be shu toff, thats anti competition. The university going along with it is collusion and the whole mess gets tied up in racketeering and someone high up at the university could go to jail for that. Its a long shot but if you could get someone from the law school to point that out to a senior administrator, things will get fixed real quick.

Can you give any reason other than disk access where any general purpose computer needs to deal with integers that are bigger than 32 bit?
So what if the machine is faster, its needs to be since its moving around so many extra bits with zeros in them.
