Tru64 is dead, HP has announced that it will no longer be supported past 2012 and that the last maintenance release will come out next year. They even shelved the plans to grab the best parts and graft them into HPUX. IRIX is dead as of 2013. Openserver might as well be dead as no sane IT manager would touch it with a ten foot pole. Basically there is only Solaris, AIX, HPUX and OS X as true Unix and then the unix-alikes linux and BSD derivatives.
Really? Does it map printers, serial, and USB devices? Does it support drive mapping? Does it work with 80+% packet loss? These are all things that RDP supports or does. I know there is a design philosophy difference between Unix and Windows (do one thing in a small package and do it well vs everything and the kitchen sink) but honestly for the vast majority of users out there having one tool do it all is much more convenient.
Man, them trying to cut Redhat off at the knees is so short sighted because A) their support organization sucks (maybe this will get better if they use the Sun side of the house to answer non-DB questions) B) Redhat employs a bunch of people that work on linux without costing Oracle a dime.
You're impressed that they coated the circuit board with black epoxy? The only impressive thing about that is they use so little power that heat transfer isn't an issue.
Sounds like Windows NT 3.5, wonder if it will get moved back into kernel space for performance reasons just like NT4 moved video back into kernel space.
Doh, I have to take it back Garmin now does 1:24K maps, but that's just since the beginning of this year if you were interested in areas outside of national parks.
I wish I could use a GPS for serious hiking but the fact is no one carries topo maps at max USGS resolution for a GPS unit so I still pay for the weatherproof maps from USGS when I actually need a topo map. They are also lighter and don't require batteries. I'm the exact opposite of a Luddite but I recognize the value in using the right tool for the job, and for serious offtrail hiking in rough terrain that means max resolution USGS maps.
Cost and complexity. Copyright (especially audio) is a majorly complicated field. Unless all the artists in the clearing house were solo acts that wrote their own music and never used samples or backing performers it's really amazingly complicated.
ASCAP/BMI do not distinguish between modes of acquiring the performance, they only care about the fact that it is a public performance. The radio station may want you to listen but they do not represent the rights holders. Finally there is a difference between listening to the radio at your desk and music piped in through the building speakers or used in a voicemail/on hold system. Think of it like Shareware that prohibits commercial use without a license, if you are using it in a business setting then you need to license it appropriately.
Two LTO4 tapes (1.6TB raw, 2.4TB with average compression) weigh 440 grams combined, or about half of a SATA drive. So yep, tape is about twice as dense as HDD's by weight.
That's not even legal to start, the compulsory licensing for digital distribution does *not* cover public performance in a place of business. There's a reason Musak is so popular, there are really complicated sections of the copyright statutes covering that are of performance. Basically ASCAP and BMI both want to get their due for the public performance of copyrighted works.
Because USC 17.112 explicitly makes an exception to anti-trust law to allow the negotiation of a statutory rate structure for compulsory licensing of phonorecordings for digital distribution, this was thought of by the lawyers way back in the mid 1990's when the whole exception that allows internet radio to operate at all was started.
Live365 was covered under last years agreement that capped fees at $50K/year for per station fees AFAIK so that would be an umbrella cost carried by Live365 and then you would be responsible for the per performance royalties.
According to USC 17.112.e.5 License agreements voluntarily negotiated at any time between 1 or more copyright owners of sound recordings and 1 or more transmitting organizations entitled to obtain a statutory license under this subsection shall be given effect in lieu of any decision by the Librarian of Congress or determination by the Copyright Royalty Judges.
This should be perfectly doable, but from what I have read and heard it's almost impossible. Part of the problem is all of the different parts of copyright that may be affected, such as writer, background singer, etc. This doesn't affect a completely original work written and performed by one person who hold all copyrights but that is a fairly unusual situation, so it's simply easier to go by the statutory breakdown specified under mandatory licensing.
According to the message at the top of the news page they are $30K in the red for 1H'09 with the old royalty rates so probably not so good. If it wasn't for Pandora I would probably be sending them a couple hundred like in years past but I haven't listened in over a year.
inclusion of audio ads, you mean *shock* they want to make money for their efforts and expenditures!? SiriusXM charges the same $3/month to stream at lower quality and that is the ADDON cost to an already fairly expensive service. Oh and you don't get to customize your listening experience with SiriusXM either.
Uh, you mean YOUR Pandora stations sound like terrestrial radio? Right? Because none of my stations sound like anything I can get near me lacking any good college stations. My first couple stations are:
Django Reinhardt Radio Electro Station #1 (Orbital, Orb, Wink) Gaelic Storm Radio etc Or are you talking about their attitude? They are a business and want to make some profit to continue to operate, but they hardly seem anything like the homogonizing, profit maximizing, soul crushing folks at CC.
Actually SoundExchange is THE collection agency for streamed royalties in the US, even indie artists have to collect through them unless they negotiate other contracts which is very difficult to do as it involves lawyers and lots of paperwork to opt out of SoundExchange and they would still collect royalties through SoundExchange for any webcasters they didn't have direct agreements with.
Most of the developed world is worse which is why pandora and others aren't available outside the US. Other countries either have higher rates or don't have standardized rights so you have to negotiate per piece which is obviously untenable.
I agree 100%, I don't like to run AV or backup agents when I don't need to and no other agents are getting on my boxes. If it can't figure out how to get the information through SNMP/WMI then the product doesn't even pass my sniff test. In my experience agents are just one more thing to blow up the box, eat resources, and have to be maintained and tested.
You almost ALWAYS want to do custom monitoring, for WhatsUp for my environment we developed scripts that monitor for the existence of individual processes through WMI or make sure that no JAVA process is over ~1.2GB because garbage collection goes crazy on most JVM's at that point, etc. I have about 100 custom monitors in my relatively small environment (~200 servers and about 100 network devices). Whether you consider custom script development configuration or modifications is up to you.

Skytel shows good coverage except in the very southern fringe of the Lexington area, have you tried them?

The specs only lists 6 being supported in one system due to limits in the SAS switch in the C7000 =)
Sanyo-Epson has a 7.1" 1080P display! It's even in color =) link

Wow, you are right, a 48U rack full of X4540's with 2TB drives would actually hold 1PB without RAID overhead.
