I know I'm tired and all, but it took me reading that 3 times to realize that you weren't saying that your television was more valued than your husband...
Reminds me of my wife though.;) She enjoys tv, I really don't. Had to doubletake to make sure your handle wasn't "Baroque".:P
Hey, I hear some guys can do that. There was even a rumor flying around (sheesh, almost ten years ago!) that Marilyn Manson had one of his ribs removed for that very reason!
Clustering: Several systems that do parallel computing.
Fault Tolerant Servers: Serval systems will a failover loadbalancers in front.
I get frustrated when people use the latter and call it the former. True, you could hae fault tolerant servers in a single box, but why? In fact I'm rolling out infrastructure of the latter in large dose.
This is how google dunnit. Very well in fact.;) It doesn't have to be expensive either. So far the most expensive part seems to be a soft switch for SAN so I can use OpenAFS and scale storage space without downtime. Help in that area would be nice, btw.:)
There's no indication in the series that she had been turned into the ultimate killing machine
Uh...so when they're busting in to save Mal from being tortured, and River whips out a gun and *while blindfolded* blows away a run of guards, that doesn't scream "ultimate killing machine"?
So at what point is the threshold between killing machine and "ultimate" killing machine anyway?;) Sort of like Vegeta, or *Super* Vegeta. Heck, at least we know the difference between Mario and Super Mario. He doubles in size.:D
I understand your argument, but do you REALLY believe what you're saying?;)
He's been squatted, plain and simple. He would be able to help us out if he'd just do a dump of all of the DNS entries for that zone. I'm willing to bet it goes something like this:
A zone.tld CNAME www.zone.tld.
I'd be stunned if there's anything beyond that, other than an MX record with a virtusertable entry like this:
Some songs should be $0.99 and some songs should be more. I don't want to give anyone the impression that $0.99 is a thing of the past... We are selling our songs through iPod, but we don't have a share of iPod's revenue
So yeah. It will never be cheaper than 99 cents. We don't want to give people that 99 cents is a thing of the past, but we want a piece of the pie, and 99 cents isn't doing it.
Real bright there guy. You suck.
Tell you what. Let's go variable then. Songs older than 5 yrs are 50 cents. More recent non-top 100 tunes are 99 cents, and top 100 are $1.50.
I'm installing a new mail server for my company. I've been through this routine umpteen many times before. This time it's MY company. Literally. I own it.
So...I'm doing dbmail for imap. I was wondering though, are any imap clients (F/OSS ones preferably) doing the GMail-type approach? Dump them all into a bucket and make that bucket deeply searchable? I can't really use GMail for business e-mail, it needs to be on my own server. Anything come even close?
Okay, I'll admit ahead of time this is me speaking out the lesser end of my body. That said...
What very very little I know of solar panels and Windmills (wind turbines to be exact) is that solar panels are (last I knew?) very inefficient in that it takes more power to make the panels than what they can create over the span of their lifetime, thus the reason I've never bothered looking at them.
Wind turbines rock. They're fun to look at, dangerous to make (huge freaking magnets that you're trying to *gently* set into a wheel with opposing poles dangerously nearby. hope you didn't want that hand...), and energy-efficient. The problem is that here I don't have the land-space to do it, couldn't get a permit to put it on the roof, and many braindead people around here think that they are eye-sores. Pfft.
So I had a moment of curousity. What about pinwheels instead of one huge turbine?
I'm not joking (I don't think?), you could probably get a set of small magnets, make a little alternator and build it into several pinwheels, and use some outdoor-safe wiring to run the power they generate back to some batteries near/in the house. The question becomes one of whether a garden of small pinwheels can even come close to the power generation of that one big wind turbine.:\
Oh, btw...for the guys considering the solar panels on the roof, it then goes without question that you're not going to want to block the panels with a shade tree, meaning your roof is taking direct sunlight. There was an article that got posted to digg.com a few weeks back about little things you can do to keep you house cool without AC, and one is a special reflective paint that is usually intended for mobile homes and RV's. You paint this on the roof, and it is supposed to reflect the majority of radiation. Look here, and start reading where it says "Installing a Radiant Barrier". The first paragraphs talks about a foil barrier beneath the roof (awesome idea, btw) and the second about the paint, which is really a type of asphalt.
Good stuff. This way you get your solar energy in DC, not in heat.;)
The IDSA. The same guys that were tearing down emulation sites by the dozens between 1998 and 2000. I still have some screwed up pictures of the guy someplace on my hard drive from back in the days of utter hatemail over the issue.
So I'm torn to even begin to support anything the guy or the new name of the computer entertainment mafia. But they are right.
Part of porting software is writing with portability in mind. What language did you write it in? What types of backends and libraries did you use?
What little porting knowledge I have, I know that writing (or re-writing as the case may be) using open libraries will take you a long way, and then seperate your functionality out well and use lots of commenting. Then if you need to port to Linux, if you don't do it in-house you can at least hand off something that is ledgable.
For example, if you've made heavy use of directx, fork your code off and try using an SDL display and input model instead. If that works, then you've gone a long way to getting the work done. Are you using assembler to speed up portions of the code?
Well, I'm in St. Louis, I'm starting a company, and the offices HAVE to be downtown, both to get decent internet throughput (providing network services) and to qualify for tax credits. I live in the suburbs. I'm trying to do home office via OpenVPN and VOIP and such as much as possible, but there are times that nothing replaces going into the office.
That said however, a staple of a business such is this is that there are times that emergencies happen, and we have to get to the client's site in a hurry. I wish it weren't so, but a bicycle won't cut it in that situation. Even if I could get there fast enough, the whole professional appearance thing kicks in. Not so much arriving on a bike as opposed to a car (with gas prices as they are, I'm sure I'd get more than a few "ooh, I wish I could do that"), but showing up at a client all sweaty usually isn't the best, and simply changing clothes won't fix that.:\
I need a portable bathing solution that is fast and effective I think.;)

We managed to get a TINY house off of Big Bend for about $160k. It used to be a rental and we're hoping to get a good deal in sweat equity back out of the place, but if the whole bubble scenario is true, then we'll be screwed just like everyone else.
But hey, I just started a company named "OSS Solutions", so life is good.;)
Well, there's the rub. I don't really play PS2. I play online football, and that's about it. Up till recently, I played nfl2k online. Of course there's no new games in that series until at least next season, so I'm not really big into buying new games.
I had a choice once upon a time, and Sony was still the lesser evil. Whether that's slated to change is beyond me.:\
I never bought an XBox from them, and I'm just waiting for the 360 to come out so I can pick up an XBox on the cheap - used, the day after the 360 comes out so I can drop Linux on a couple of them for MythTV.
The only reason I might ever have considered the XBox is due to the fact that it could do real HD output at 720p, where my PS2 couldn't.
That's not enough to make me do business with Microsoft though. Sorry.
The people I would love to hurt are the ones at Square-Enix. If I understand right, Final Fantasy is now 360-exclusive. So much for Final Fantasy.:\
What I'm really wondering is whether or not this stuff can help me.
Up until 6 months ago, I quite literally didn't know WTF was wrong with me. I could go into a laundry list of items, but suffice it to say that I just couldn't function normally anymore. We finally nailed it down to hyper-somnolence. My brain apparently can't regulate my need to sleep normally, and is constantly, unless I'm on medication, trying to put me to sleep. It's not traditional narcolepsy, but they share many symptoms.
I'm on something called Provigil now, which works wonders, although I'm thinking about asking the doctor to up the dose a bit. I don't know if my brain behaves as though I'm sleep-deprived, I would have to ask my doctor about that one, but without medication, at any given moment I can fall asleep in under 2 minutes. Under 5 is dangerous (or so says my dr.).
Update the rosters using either manual or action replay/gameshark codes, and play online with the standard rosters.
Seriously, the current rosters aren't critical for online play, and just play with EQ turned on. When EQ is on, you're playing based on skill and not having the better players.
I hate playing online against people who refuse to turn EQ on. For example, you only saw about 5 teams online at any time: Eagles, Pats, Colts, Falcons, and Rams. Anything else beyond that was a stretch. What sucks about that is that I'm *IN* St. Louis, so playing as my home team makes me look like a bandwagon jumper. Sheesh.
Take2/Visual Concepts/2k Games has agreed to leave online play functional indefinitely, so play continues. That's where I'll be, and that's where my friends will be. None of us plan on buying a single EA title ever again. I know that's extreme, but I don't really care what they say or do at this point. I'm a fan of the sport, and I'm a fan of hte players, true. I don't need to have the NFL stamp of approval to play online against other teams.
Meh. A clean looking Linux distro with the default filesystem set to GoogleFS (NOT GMailFS), and a braindead simple installer with binary updates switched on by default.
Microsoft-ds? No kids, that's not the Double Screen version, that's probably "Directory Services". LDAP. Your authentication. Block that internally and you're SOL. So if it gets into your internal LAN, you're powerless to block it off, other than to shut down the entire LAN, clean all of the systems without plugging back into the LAN, and bring the whole thing back up. w00t!:\
