Um, I don't really count him as black though. Esp after a few of the percentages of how black he is got out. I count him as slightly tanned at most.
Uh, his father was from Africa and was most certainly NOT an Africanner or other imperialist leftover, you don't get much more African-American than that! Why do people insist on somehow lessening the mans historic achievement through petty hair splitting? The fact is a generation ago his father couldn't even eat at the same establishments as his mother and his peers were beat for daring to register to vote. Today his son is the president, that is a heck of an accomplishment for the man and the nation.
Oh, if we give Oracle enough money I'm sure we can scale to whatever level we would want, the problem is bloody cost. The fact that OBIEE AND the database are licensed per core is almost criminal. Six figures per CPU is just so expensive it blows my mind, especially since most of the business logic in OBIEE is being handled by our own custom code.
Not likely after Oracle bought Hyperion. We're a JDE shop and went with OBIEE since our major modules aren't yet supported in Hyperion and with the acquisition noone knows what the timeline will be for adding them so we are rolling our own with OBIEE. So far the framework seems to be good, just not sure how it will do when it hits production loads since we are still in early development.
Generally when people complain about their backup software not being able to backup the AD files it's because they are trying to do something extremely naive like backup the database files through the file system, this simply won't work. I'm well aware of how to use ntbackup and how to do an authoritative restore, I was trying to clue to OP in that there was a reason what they were trying to do wasn't working and that even if they COULD get it to work it wouldn't work when it came time to restore.
Um, you DO realize that you need a VSS aware backup program to get a usable backup of the domain controller, correct? Backing up the AD database files will do you zero good, and in fact if you could somehow get them to restore you would cause all sorts of problems.
Click and morter my friend. When I was looking for an entertainment center a bit over a year ago it was hard finding one that would fit in with my aesthetic (modern western crossed with a touch of high tech). I finally found one that was a good fit but there were no local retailers that carried it and while it was only ~$400 online everyone wanted like $150 for S&H because it was heavy. It turns out Walmart.com carried it for only $350 and thanks to their huge distribution network it had free delivery if I picked it up at a local store. That is a huge advantage that only a few other companies can match (JC Pennies, Sears, Target).
Depends on the heatsink, AMD's retail CPU's have a thermal pad that is an even more efficient thermal conductor than arctic silver, Cisco/Aironet also used to use such a thermal pad in their extended thermal range AP's (went from Alaska cold to black roof in the middle east hot).
Hate to reply to myself but I just figured out what they did, they pulled the specs from an OC 8800GT G92. The 9600GSO has a single 6pin PCIe power header which means absolute power draw is limited to 75W(cable)+17W(slot) or 92W, and it would likely be unstable well before hitting that since power lines don't like to be pulled to their limit.

This lists it at 46W which is much more in line with my experience. The TDP might be 105W for some crazy reason, but my system with Athlon 64x2 4200+EE, 2x7,200rpm HDD and a 9600GSO uses about 150W when gaming so there is no way in hell the GPU is pulling down 100W by itself.
Yes, 9600GSO. 96 8800 series stream processors(G92) uses about 45W peak. Be sure to get one with 384 or 768MB of ram, they reused the name for a new G94 part with much lower performance. Should run you under $75.
Or you know you could go with a 9600GSO which uses about 45W PEAK and plays most modern games at decent framerates (Crysis 1280*1024 medium, 20fps). I use Rivatuner to underclock the card by 50% at windows startup and run it at about 20% overclock with game profiles. Since my PC is running Mediaportal and is on 24x7 this saves me quite a bit over the course of the year.
This is in a small sleepy suburb that has had a handful of homicides in my entire lifetime (I'm 30). I'm pretty sure that is SOP for all but the most rural of departments nationwide. Information systems really has changed the way policework is done. As an example when responding to a fight in a particular housing development one officer noted an individual who he believed was not supposed to be at that location. He did a quick search and was able to retrieve that the restraining order against the individual had expired and that a relative of his had moved back into the complex. Because of the information systems harassment of this individual wasn't needed, quite a nice outcome I would say =)
I completely disagree, I recently did a ridealong with my father in law and he pulled the plate of EVERY vehicle we approached for any kind of enforcement activity. The system automatically pulled the record for the registered owner and for the vehicle itself. The records for the owner had a fairly astounding amount of information including addresses of everyone who had ever been associated with the owner through any kind of police report.
It's a chicken/egg problem, as long as they are more expensive it won't be cost justified and as long as it's not cost justified there won't be enough sales to drive down cost. There are a few things that could jumpstart the process, if someone the size of say Microsoft or Google (or both) were to standardize on DC then they size of orders would justify mass production large enough to bring in commodity pricing, the other is if enough Green initiatives push for DC then again the volumes will get big enough to bring prices down.
I would vote for and do as much campaigning as possible for a candidate that stood up against a bill title "Save the children...", so much of what I think is wrong with this country has been done in the name of saving children. I say this as the overprotective father of two that I am, it's my freaking job to raise my children not the governments.
Sorry but when the Congress has written a law that basically bends over backwards to make sure that the executive has all the ability they need with just a thin layer of oversight (FISA) and the executive goes out of their way to break that law I have a real problem with that. Especially when the head of executive has labeled himself the decider and shown every indication of being as bad as Nixon or Hoover when it comes to abusing the investigative branches of government for his own gain instead of using them for the national interest.
I saw some cool DC gear a couple weeks ago at the Henry Ford Museum, the original DC power plant from NY and a huge 4MW DC generator which was one of nine installed at the Highland Park Ford plant in 1913.
As far as using DC in the datacenter, my calculations show it just doesn't pay, one or two percent more efficient power use does not justify the large premium DC parts demand today. Part of this is economies of scale and part is market segmentation, DC has historically been used for carrier grade equipment which equipment manufacturers have been able to demand a premium for.

No, you can't unless you are running R2 and even then it's not nearly as flexible as 2008, the GP was basically correct.
I wonder why it can't be used from a desktop browser, would be nice for a media center pc. Hmm, anyone know the user agent for the PS3 browser?

Beer IS liquid bread, historically it was used as a way to store perishable calories in a way that wouldn't spoil as easily as grain.
Compared to marine units, they are rugged and waterproof. I doubt they are fire proof though (not sure how fireproof the GA ones are either).
Most of the 406 EPIRB unit's I'm seeing are in the $350-500 range, is their some reason they are twice as expensive for GA aircraft?
Or you know a projector capable of displaying to a gym sized crowd, that requires some serious lumens which costs big bucks.

Most of the basic research that has driven the increase in HDD density was done by IBM researchers.
