Any clue what quarter Sun will ship and support Nehalem based servers with Solaris (not Open Solaris)? We have an upcoming hardware refresh for our Oracle database platform and Nehalem looks like it is going to be the best price/performance with Oracle per CPU licensing but we are strongly considering switching off Windows and our group is most familiar with Solaris.
Personally I think it's so Sony can stop manufacturing and supporting two lines of mastering equipment, this way they have reduced internal support costs AND if a customers equipment breaks they can sell them a new unit instead of repairing the older unit.
No, it sounds like cd paranoia is doing its thing and asking the laser to repeatedly read the audio data at slow speed to try to get enough consistent reads to be sure of the data. Redbook tracks do not have the ECC blocks that ISO9660 disks do so to get bit perfect copies you sometimes have to read a sector multiple times to make sure you have the correct data, kind of like DNA sequencing.
You were with your first out of college employer about a dozen years later? What industry and what company size? I just ask because that has to be extremely unusual.
The Cisco bug had been fixed for about forever so anyone running an affected version probably had a million other known bugs as well, just most didn't bring their primary function to a screeching halt. Some of the time admins choose to run with the devil they know rather than finding all the new bugs waiting in new code, this time it bit a bunch of them hard and hence bit their customers. They will now upgrade to newer software or implement a workaround for this bug, if they upgrade their customers will probably have some additional downtime while the new bugs are found and worked around. Unfortunately this is how IT works, it's a complex web of systems built, programmed, and administered by fallible humans.
This simply starts the JRE when you launch Firefox so that there isn't the delay when starting your first applet. It's the same as IE and Office being preloaded with Windows so that they pop up instantly when you click the icons.
I don't consider a hobbyist custom firmware to be a home firewall, it's a hobbyist firewall which is a different animal even if it is the same hardware. My comment was mostly in regards to things like the 99.99999% of home firewalls sold in retail stores to your average user and often used by business for small soho type installations. Beyond that many large commercial firewalls either don't do source port randomization or they don't do it by default, I know that was the case with my employers very expensive big name solution.
Oh, as we discovered after the patching for the Kaminsky bug ANY DNS server is vulnerable if it sits behind a firewall that uses static or weakly randomized source ports. This means your DNS software might could be perfectly designed but if your firewall doesn't cooperate you're still vulnerable. I don't believe any home firewall does port randomization correctly and more than a few high end ones don't either.
Mozilla.com validates as xhtml 1.0 strict, as does wikipedia.org, msn.com, and live.com has 4 minor errors for XHTML 1.0 transitional. Those are the ones I found from validating the major sites of the first couple pages of the list.
Salesmen don't set policy which is what I am worried about, if a salesmen implied that all negative reviews would be removed and the reality is they got one positive review pinned then it's up to the restaurant to decide if they want to continue to advertise with Yelp. On the other hand if negative reviews were really being pulled at the request of advertiser then that significantly changes the nature of the site and is worse than false advertising in my book.
I write correspondence like that because as a former business owner I was always glad when my customers gave me honest feedback. I know that at least one local restaurant had a major overhaul in front end staff after multiple reports of poor service got back to the owner.
From the CEO's response it seems like some sales droid was being overly pushy and overstating the facts, which is SOP for a salesmen in many fields. The actual practice of allowing a single positive review to be pinned and labeled at the top of the stack is perfectly acceptable IMHO. Personally I discount half of all negative reviews online since people tend to only go online if they have had a really good or bad experience, unless someone says they have repeatedly had bad service or food or almost all of the reviews for an establishment are bad then it's probably at worth at least trying out once.
I think that having the government not interfere in my affairs is a basic human right and so did the founding fathers of the United States of America. The fact that there are so many people who don't think that way disturbs me.
Are you serious? My kitchen alone has about 15,000 lumens of lighting and it's smaller than most that I saw in Europe outside of apartments, and I often find myself wishing for more lighting. Most small (~9m^2) bedrooms have at least 1600 lumens of lighting, with average CFL efficiency of ~65 lumens/watt that means a small room needs about 25W of lighting as a minimum.
Sure it would, much of the 180Whrs used to keep the current rovers alive is surely to keep components warm enough which means even the 2.1kg SNAP-3B would be more than sufficient since it puts out almost 1300WHrs of heat per day along with 64.8WHrs of electricity which is the amount they have with the newly cleaned cells. Since just the cells in the 1.2m^2 array have a mass of ~1kg, when the frame and battery are considered I'm sure they have at least as much mass as that RTG.
The American public should have received a check (not a tax credit, not a credit card looking coupon, etc) for the total sale of the spectrum divided by every single citizen of this nation.
How about NO, it costs a hell of a lot of money to print and distribute checks, better they just not charge me as much or give me more back on my rebate check. The cost of the 2008 rebate checks was $84M, personally I'd rather they save that cost and use the money to feed more poor kids or something.
This was all unnecessary anyway. I don't care about opening up spectrum for other services when I am not directly benefiting in any way, shape or form by the change over.
How about if your life gets save because first responders are able to talk to one another, is that good enough for you?
What you're describing is exactly what I was talking about, not colo facilities but true peering hotels which tend to be carrier exclusive facilities. The classic two in the early days of the commercial internet were MAE-East and MAE-West but those were the critical points for only about a year or so because they existed for NSF-net reasons and were made less important as soon as the commercialization of the the net started.
Dude, just because your phone has a small battery and sips power doesn't mean every device made does. My Blackberry's standard battery is 1400mah and with everything turned on can pull more than 100ma so low power will never charge it. Your MP3 player probably shows up as a standard mass storage device and so gets 500ma.
Yeah, I'm sorry but we are so worried about child molestors but realistically what these guys did is probably worse to the long term welfare of these childrens mental health. In this case I would say the corporate death penalty for PA Child Care is appropriate and RICO charges against all involved parties.
Cripple it world-wide, some of those peering hotels are outside the US, but because of the business model of the commercial internet there are a number of nodes where a large percentage of the Tier-1 bandwidth and routing capacity is concentrated. I have no hard numbers to back me up, just a general understanding of how today's environment is setup and some observations based on how the system reacts to fairly minor software or hardware events at critical junctions.

Do you have itunes installed? If so then you have Quicktime.

1984 was supposed to be a cautionary tale NOT an instruction manual!

If he's been in jail that long then he waived his right to a speedy trial and was unable to come up with the money for bail.
In theory no, in reality for lots of things, yes.

3 months = misdemeanor = little problems. Also she is a juvenile so getting the record sealed will be easy.
