An HP technician (yup they have at least one) was restoring the data to a customer's fileserver but the backup software was asking for tape#2. The customer only ever had one backup tape that they recalled, so they were quite perplexed until the security guard entered the server room...
Apparently every morning around 3am when he made his rounds he found the backup server screen blinking "insert next tape" -- The security guard proudly said that he was pushing in the tape for at least six months now...
Obviously the Enquirer did not make the list or the US would be No. 1. The Enquirer freely prints anything about anybody with wild abandon, anything is fair game - no censorship here, no sirree bob.
In the mid-80's I worked for a company that sold clone IBM's (who didn't in those days?). The owners had contacts in Taiwan who were saying that if we could ship over a motherboard, or anything else for that matter, they could reverse engineer it and have it produced in a few months.
In those day's multi-layer mobo's were not common and ASIC's were rare so it was not too difficult to do. The reason they could cut their costs was the fact that there was no real innovation just R&D (Rip off and Deploy).
Warby is considering shifting his servers to another operating system like Novell or Linux, if Microsoft doesn't change its policy.
Servers are one thing desktops are another matter entirely. I wonder what OS is running on their desktops? In Canada, we have many financial institutions still running on OS/2 (I shit you not!). Now I know that they won't be running Novell on their desktops and if their apps are Win32 then they better hope that WINE supports their apps if they are going to switch horses to Linux - otherwise it will be a big rewrite and a significant expense. But then again they certainly have the money...
My son had a hissy fit the other day and threw my cordless mouse across the room. The kid damn near took out one godawful ugly lamp. My wife would have grounded him for a month if he had broke the lamp. I on the otherhand would have given him 20 bucks and a high-five.
The guy did not say "Crack" or "Hack" he said find. It would be ridiculous to crack their firewall's and routers/modems manually (from a logistics perspective). From my understanding there are more than a few firewalls and routers on the Internet but I could be mistaken...
Actually, I wish more case designs supported dual PSU's as the power supplies these days are relatively cheap and I could use the redundancy and extra oumph.
meaning they suffered from a brain disorder that left them unable to speak or compulsively performing repetitive motions like flapping their arms or rocking.
So this is what afflicts all of our programmers, and I thought it was because our marketing department keeps saying the product will be released next week when we are still in beta...
Has anyone read the fine print???

I have no need for a web server if it can't run PHP. Now, if you can get a version that supports PHP into this puppy and crank up the PHP performance to at least twice Zend, then the world is your oyster man...

I was told this story from a reliable source...

The post is listed under "science", perhaps it should be listed under "space" since we are concerned with how much space humans take up...

to the term my computer just crashed...
Routers typically only talk at layer 3 (IP, IPX etc). So you cannot get the MAC address of the source across a subnet.
Now, If the Internet was a single ISP and you had access to the ARP tables on all your ISP's routers - your plan might work.
Please Mod the parent down for talking out af a different hole (or mod it to at least funny)

Sorry, I forgot many /.'rs can't read. I make this assumption from the many offtopic posts to stories. Wait a minute... this is offtopic too!

"Wany Robotic Software Lab for writing custom applications and

It does not say that it runs on Microsoft Windows.

Yeah tell me about it, I am still stuck with 5 1/4" floppies! If only they invented a way to transfer the information to the newer media types....

If Hollywood thought that the DVD business was cutting into their market then they just have to release the DVD version at a later date, simple...
