  1. Re:SCSI is great but... on Enterprise-class ATA Drives · · Score: 1

    Uhh... no? It's 137GB, and all you need to get around it is a board or a controller that supports 48 bit LBA, which will limit you to 144 peta bytes.

    I realize that's still somewhat restrictive, but ...

    If you have ever been wrongly accused of a crime, you would look at this from a different perspective.

    This is exactly why people need to fight ALL kinds of prohibition - from model rockets, to guns, to hemp.

    As our forefather, Thomas Paine so aptly said:

    "He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even
    his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he
    establishes a precedent that will reach to himself."

    Sparc isn't proprietary. That's why Fujitsu makes Sparc systems that run Sparc Solaris.

  5. Better late than never? on Samba-TNG Team Releases 0.3 · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Wow, I thought this died. So they've been working since 2000 to replace NT4 (1996?) domain controllers, and now Microsoft has ripped through 2000, XP ... ?

    Seems like they're a bit late to the party, not that I don't appreciate the work, but haven't we all pretty much come up with work arounds or are used to dealing with Samba:TOS ?

    No - both drives and controllers are backwards compatible. They simply will run at the lowest speed of the two (controller, drive).

  9. Re:American Voting on Circuit Court Okays Vote Swapping Site · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Very true. The democrats and republicans have established a plethora of legislation designed (quite well!) to make it extremely difficult for any other party to compete with them.

    The Libertarian Party has it the hardest, since the Green and Reform parties (to my knowledge) will happily use federal matching funds to rape the taxpayer to pay for their campaigns, whereas the LP will not.

    What planet do you live on?

    The idiots that replied to me cited only anecdotal evidence "oh, dude, I know this guy? he has a towel on his head, and he said he wasn't happy about 9-11"

    Only a few Muslim groups have actually officially criticized the attacks. We hear about Mosque after Mosque that celebrates the attackers, we see all the people praising Osama, we saw thousands of demonstrators in places like Pakistan trashing the United States.

    The leaders of Al-Azhar University, arguably the pinacle of Islamic learning have openly stated that morally and religiously they are in full support of Islamic terror.

    I don't know of any Islamic countries that are against terrorism against Israel. They sure love to hate the Jews.

    And why would OUR media not show this? Think about it, our media is made up of about 90% bed wetting leftists. They'd love nothing more than to show that the entire Islamic world LOVES the West and HATES the terrorists to help demonstrate what a jackass Bush is.

    So, you're right - the moderators are idiots. The people that moderated me flamebait are the typical liberal apologists knee-jerking to idiotic claims of "bigotry" by people that haven't the foggiest notion what bigotry is.

    The problem with Muslims isn't that they're all terrorists.

    The problem is that few Muslims have actually spoken out against the terrorists.

    In fact, it appears that most Muslim countries at least unofficially celebrated the terrorist attacks.

    What a pathetic overkill response.If you're running SQL server, make sure it's patched. When the last set of bind exploits came out no-one said "Unplug all your DNS servers", why is this any different?

    I guess we should expect this kind of general cluelessness from an MS SQL admin.
