Shopping used to be so easy, go out - kill something - bring it home and eat it. Now we're faced with people yapping on phones, tight aisles, screaming kids and my favorite - those damn discount cards that I need one of for each store (I have none) so I get screwed on my discount. Now I get beeping carts and weather.
Go out and kill the people yapping on phones, bring them home and eat them. Not feeling too hungry, just take a screaming kid. The stigma that goes with being a cannibal will quickly dissipate when the regular shoppers can shop phone yapping, kid screamin', aisle blocking scum free and we just have to put up with the discount cards.
The arson and destruction of private property badges. If a car burnt as well, they're well on their way to achieving the elusive 'inciting riots' and 'urban terrorist' badges. These last two were proudly held by a select few: Ted Kazinsky, Che Guevera, and Jimmy Carter
Offsite backups are one thing, but in a case of sheer devistation (such as this), it really doesen't help too much. They have to find a building, fiber, computers, cabling, everything to replace it. Backups, although an important part in the puzzle, are ultimately the last, centermost peices.
After all is said and done, the U still has to deal with insurance companies, getting specs for colocated equipment, etc. It's not an easy process (if you've dealt with your insurance company not wanting to pay for a dent in your car, imagine telling them that the dent would cost millions to repair) and I doubt that they will be up and operational in less than 6 months.
I just find it ironic that they put all of their fault-tolerant redundant systems in the same building, only to have it burn down. Distributed computing should mean more than just two computers sitting right next to each other.
How about fun with lots of errors. If you can manipulate ip enough to do this, what's to say that you can't redirect that in a giant smurfing of the internet. 65k packets in 4 seconds could easily clog a semi-full link, if it was sustained.
Yeah, here goes: I never really understood the article, but I'm going to try to make everyone feel dumb by grossly overgeneralizing and hoping nobody calls my bluff!
Hey pal, anyone can break an internet protocol, but it takes skill to bend the hell out of it. This guy dumps more braincells everytime his girlfriend spits after oral sex then you could ever hope to have. This guy speaks in TCP/IP, you just speak in condescending technocratic bullshit. You're the reason information is not free-as-in-beer free.
Hey Slashdot, we're going to get a big group of us together and go beat the fuck outta Stephen Hawking! Who the fuck does he think he is looking at the universe in a slightly diiferent way, except those views were heralded by an obtuse 500 page self-aggrandizing technobabbling hardcover!
Because then it would make no sense. It would be FLO/s if you wanted to get technical, and if you really wanted to get technical, it would be F/s where F= # of Floating point operations. I lile FLOPS better.
No, FLOPSs is How fast it computes when dropped out of a window.

MS has more than just announced that Office 11 won't run under 9x, they've pretty much stated that, due to security concerns, most new software will not operate under 9x. They are attempting to force a change, and hopefully it will increase stability (and revenues, but that's beside the point, right?) as games and applications are written solely for the nt-core os'es.

That was a great episode! And at the end Itchy and Scratchy studios got out of their financial difficulties by suing the U.S Postal Service...
This just proves my theory that we are really living in a cartoon, broadcast to aliens for enjoyment. Why else would we keep running into these ridiculous situations?
How many people asked for the.Mac crap on their computer?
Nobody is going to ever complain that less than 100% of the people are not using the prepackaged software.
Hey, cloudscout! Here's a dead horse, now beat it. The check is in the server to prevent people from using theirserver without paying.
Do you know how many people are going to do this instead of using.Mac? None. The guys that are going to do this are the ones which have absolutely no intention of paying anyone to backup their data. Macs are not generally targetted at geeks, but mostly business users. The geeks that have macs are going to back up data in either the easiest or the hardest, most obscure way they can find. This case just happens to be the latter which turned into the former.
Suck it up, nobody's buing this "You're stealing" shit. Especially on the third post about it.
So by using my AOL cd as a coaster, I'm essentially stealing from AOL because I'm using something that they *gave* me in a way for which it was not intended? If you don't want me to use something, then don't give it to me.
Face it, there are no more bastions of ethics left. Gentlemen, leave your convictions at the door. They'll only get in the way as you try to grab all of those dollar bills. MIT has shown us the true 3 step business model:
1) Build a seemingly immaculate and incorruptable reputation.
2) Prostitute everything you worked so hard at. 3) Profit!!!

Only if there is a cost/speed benefit.
After a short while when we can compress these analog signals without performance gain, we'll switch.

There's a reason for that.
Yeah, about eleven disks worth.
They seem to work for a lot of people...

Actually, I use those for Skeet shooting, so now I owe the clay pidgeon manufacturers. Maybe if I used those as soupbowls...

I've always preferred cpio. I've been using it for a while (my error there was because I cut and paste a script), and I just got kind of fond of it.
whoops, find . -print | cpio -oBcv My fault.
Windows backup:
Mount smb share
find invent -print | cpio -oBcv >/dev/rStp0
umount smb share.
Shut up or I'll beat the crap outta ya!
