If its not to forward please give your wife a hug for me...she did a great job on Calley's War and I'd like to thank her for her work.
Being on a job out of country, I won't be making any conventions anytime soon so a "thank you" by proxy is the best I can do at the moment.
And thanks for posting BTW!
If I rememer correctly IBM was working on something to this effect a while back. It was more of a SAN platform than anything but, the concept was to have a snap together modular system so that to add another HD to the SAN all you had to do was plop in the brick and the array would take care of the rest. Since they were enclosed it was decided to go with a water cooling method so I don't know how they worked that one out.
The info came from a Technology Review or Wired article.
Dell the company did not invest the money...Mike Dell invested the money out of his personal accounts.
As it is Dell sells workstations & servers with Red Hat but, will change an arm+leg for support contracts and has a very small *nix support department which was downsized withing the past year. People go to Dell for Microsoft solutions and thats what the sales people are told to sell. I have yet to see a job req for a Dell Major Accounts rep that requires unix certs...MCSE & CCIE are king.
They also decided to make it all team play and did not include bots for LAN multiplay. This sucks!! I'm sorry, I don't live in an area with broadband and cannot access any of the servers using POTS. Loogs like my little group of gammers will have to stick with BF:DC and BF:1942 so we can all play and have fun killing the AI.
What this also gives is the ultimate in physical security...the users cannot touch the PC nor can an invader unless they can get to your server room. If you look back in the article & look at the Clear Cube site you'll see that their main buyers are military & Fed...NORAD & the like.
"We already got a telephone tax to fund the Spanish-American War (1898)"
Of which there is a bill currently going through the house that aims to kill that tax or restructure it. It almost passed last time but, I believe the senate let it die.
Whats really interesting is that more people want to nail Kaylee rather than Inara. Is this the "geek" mentality overriding the physical beauty or is it that we love and adore the innocence that Kaylee represents. I for one wouldn't throw Inara aout of my bed but, I'd much rather have River or Kaylee on a long term basis.
As a side note: My hats off to the man who married Jewel (the actress who plays Kaylee)...lucky SOB.
"better question: should Welshmen start to be charged with rape when they bugger them?"
No, but we may just see a statistical rise in Welsh children saying Da-aaaa-dy.
It's kind of here already. Tom Brokaw "wrote" a book titled: The Greatest Generation which is pretty much a compilation of letters & comments from people who lived during WWII.
MATRIX RAID!!! The bastards just renamed RAID 10 to make it seem they had a trendy new product. Damn intel!! Wasted 10 seconds of my life searching for something that sounded new becuase I didn't know what it was. Now that I do know what it is I want the marketing trolls at Intel dead.
From IT Managers Journal "Efstathiou agreed that while most IT workers would not be eligible for OT under the new rules, employers are likely to make up for any potential losses in salary or higher hourly pay."
I don't know about the rest of you but, I've never worked for a corp that decided to raise my pay because I worked a lot of "unpaid" hours. Hell most corps think compensation is something they have to hide from the IRS or its something the employees must give for the privlage of working.
"Efstathiou said some workers, such as sysadmins providing 24/7 datacenter support, may be hurt by the new rules, but added the biggest impact may be for employers when economic conditions improve."
"The law itself will serve to accelerate and exacerbate turnover and will impact employers more than employees," Efstathiou predicted. "That costs a fortune."
How is it going to affect the employer when most techs are unable to leave their jobs because there aren't any jobs to go to. Oh, my bad, he said "In the future, when the economy is better".
Sorry, before the bubble burst it was possible to jump jobs with a reasonable expectation that there was another job waiting. That is not common in the IT world today nor will it be again simply because of the amount of IT workers competing for that same job.
I used to do IT work for a hospital chain in Austin and there were no devices that could "kill" a patient if windows crashed. Windows was only on the workstations ant there were multiple workstations in the area so if one crashed the user could go to another one.
If Phillips & GE are planning on using embeded XP as an OS for their medical machines then they are the ones putting the patient at risk.
One of the best places would be Kwajalein Atoll, Republic of the Marshall Islands, home of the Regan Missile Defense Test Site so the some of the cost has already been taken care of.
At 8 north it's not to far off the equator so another plus. Add to that the lack of any populous areas near it and I'd say we have a winner.
It seems that RAID 5 or 10 is the way to go. Here are some instructions on building a fairly fault tolerant server. The page deals with setting up a server with RAID 50 but can be switched to 51 for superior redundancy.
Over all it's about how much money you want to spend. If you have ooodles of cash go for a real server with RAID 60 and daily tape backups.
I seems to remember a movie called the Transporter that was pretty much all that spy hunter could & should be. It had bikes, boats, cars, and guns & gadgets...what else do you need to represent a video game which comprised of a vehicle knocking other vehicles off the screen using brute force & gimmic gadgets.
We don't need a rehash of a pointless game that was about nothing more than destroying stuff.
Good lord the next thing you know they'll do a movie about a martial arts tournament that decides the fate of the world...oh wait...that was mortal combat!
I'd say go for the tour. I was out of work (dot bomb) and looking for something to do when I went on tour with some friends and it was one of the most rewarding expieriences of my life. If you really want to break into the music biz you're going to have to take some risks...sorry but that is the biz. Dont worry though, the IT industry is making a comeback so you might not have to wait that long to find another job.
When I went on tour I drove around the states eating cheap PB&J sandwitches and drinking as much as possible and yet, met some extrodinary people (I was sober alot of the time -- someone had to drive). If nothing it will give you a feel for the industry and a load of contacts.
If your band has a big enough name try getting on the Armed Forces Entertainment Network tours, they go all over the world and its all paid for, you get to see the sights and make some excellent contacts all on someone elses penny.

So how does this compare to WinACE? I know everyone has their favorite (TAR, RAR, PAR, GWAR) but, who really has the best compression with usability?
Well lets just hope he knows where to insert the power dongle.

Many have posted about the loss of more than one drive being v. bad. So my question is, does SW RAID support RAID 6 or 7? If not, can you do 10 or 50?
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't UPnP supposed to be the new device config protocol that was going to kill SNMP and eliminate the need for admins?
Actually the literacy rates were much higher during the 1700's than todays. If you want some insight into why do a google for John Gatto.

Nope...just soiled his armor. Must have encountered one of those vicious bad tempered rodents we've all heard about - just look at the bones...

So basically this is the new version of Universal PnP. Except this version actually works.
