  1. Re:Huh ? on Symantec, Veritas Merger Approved · · Score: 1

    That's crazy that you bring up ODM. These stay on AIX boxes better than Veritas GAB on cxfs. Which Veritas try too hard to port over to every unix with any clustering.

    About getting ODM out of sync... this really comes down to an admin level procedure. Which I can promise you Veritas requires far more steps in recovery.

    Like I said in the 90s Veritas was special and one of a kind. There are plenty of freebie and opensource solutions that rival the overpriced vxvm and cxfs nowadays. People who marked me troll obviously can't accept the facts.

  2. Re:Huh ? on Symantec, Veritas Merger Approved · · Score: 0, Troll

    Veritas is so 90s. Vxvm is extremely overrated with features that cannot possibly be deployed in a mission critical environment. If you stick to your regular mirrors, stripes, raids... you mind as well use the FREE Aix LVM or Solaris VM. Which I swear are simpler and better nowadays.

    Not to mention Veritas has by far the worst licensing hassle I have ever seen among any vendor. If you're not buying 30 licenses at a time, with already a sales guy contact, forget about it. Try buying just 2 licenses.

    The mid-90s veritas was very good, I don't know what happened to them now. They really haven't had an innovative product for years. All their stuff now is bloated beyond hell with way too many patches.

    Just remember Veritas is always sales first, marketing second, engineering third. No reason for IBM to want Veritas. They have Tivoli, LVM, their own shark arrays.

    I too must see this first hand. Except last time I was checking out some bizarre astrological alignment, I was disappointed to observe nothing.

    How about some more info? Is there a site that says what time U.S time zone the alignment might appear on. What exact direction on a compass? You know, something a noob can follow. I got my binoculars and camera ready, but that's all I have. Please help.

    My ultimate advice to people who are currently employed and in the driver seat to make purchasing decisions... buy as much heterogeneous equipment for your environment as possible.

    It gives you more responsibility, making it harder for companies to let you go. And more experience into your future resume.

  7. Re:Sure on Symantec's AntiVirus 10 Deployment Woes? · · Score: 1

    The part that is not acceptable is that a company of Norton's size only need to support a couple windows OS from the same vendor.

    Since they just merged with Veritas, it'd be interesting to see how they add any unix OS into the mix.

    Game Informer magazine reviews are pretty good. I just don't think they are honest enough at times. Gamespot is much more harsh in reviews. Though they have the luxury of writing 10pg reviews, something magazines can't do. But give credit to GI for the laughable sex innuendo hidden messages.

    Why did poster get marked Flamebait?

    IBM is a company that requires a workforce that can be slave driven and work every weekend 24x7. European companies have a history of limiting work hours with tea time and high number of vacation days. It's not fair to U.S and Indian counterparts in the same company, who work just as hard but lack the benefits.

  12. Re:40% sounds pretty good to me... on More Girls Need Industry Jobs · · Score: 1

    Actually there is a second reality to this. Maxis the great company it used to be was bought out by EA. In an effort to cut cost, as EA does best to keep the expensive lawyers count high, it hired alot of women in the Sims division.

    Women are great employees, but the unfortunate fact is... women traditionally are lower salaried than men. Which also allows EA to cut more HR expenses. Sims is the one game women don't mind working on.

    Basically don't think of EA as wanting to hire more women! Think of it as EA's best opportunity to cut cost. I have contacts from the former non-evil EA days. I am just the messenger here.

  13. Re:Time on Swapless PSP Exploit Released · · Score: 1

    The consumer has the right to buy a PSP and turn it into a machine gun if he/she so please.

    You are denying the right of the consumer true ownership of the purchased PSP over a non-purchaseable piece of software. Then calling he/she a pirate... it's not right. This is the norm, but I do understand where everyone's view is coming from.

    Sounds like you already took the Cisco bait. A $25,000 hw router will not route any faster than $25,000 worth of PC software routing.

    Of course if you think $25,000 in hw routes faster than $100 software PC, then you are correct. Cisco don't want you to trust any software alternative, surprise!

    Then I guess the updated "Mario revolution", formerly "Mario GB advanced", formerly "Mario 3" would be another title to the library.

    Perhaps it works. After all, if there is one thing you see today's DS landscape... Nintendo can't ever backup a new system with enough games anymore. The last Nintendo system with a decent sized library is SNES. So why not bring everything back legally instead of letting people use emulators and roms for free.

    Cisco is the same company that tours different universities and convince EE majors that only hardware like theirs are optimized to do networking.

    There are plenty of software routing solution that can do that same thing as their overpriced routers. Their products might be good, but this is really not the crew of people I want to learn from.
