I have a 7000 with two drives in raid-1. Just the other week one of the drives failed (after two years). The array did not behave correctly; it should have remained operational on one drive but instead it started producing flackey results (like some files partially available) and it was hard to diagnoze the problem. It did rebuilt correctly after I replaced the drive.
$130 will buy you a real PC instead of crippld one

one thing to keep in mind is how fast those inches come down. For SW states, most of the rain comes during short severe thunderstorms when maybe several inches can fall in an hour. For northwest, they can have the same inches spread across several days of drizzle.
that is where the problem is - it is NOT running on 127.
Local results appear when the browser is pointing to the www.google.com! First I thought it installs someting inside the IE but the same is true with Mozilla.
..because they are, well, public and whoever trusts them needs to have his head examined.
However, I would like to have complete access/understanding to what data the GDS sends back to the mothership. I unchecked that little box but when I search for something on google.com it brings the results from the local search as well so there is lots of data sent up.
In the development world they are no longer just alternatives. OSS tools are leaders.
The traditional cost of my company's entire development stack is exactly zero: Postgres, CVS, Linux, Eclipse or NetBeans, Tomcat, JBOSS, Fire/Bird, Gaim, Jabber,....
This is actually interesting. Why Americans, etc call all those things AK-47?
Maybe the original design (47 is a year by the way) was truly called AK-47 but the subsequent weapons and the current ones were called (at least in Eastern Europe) AK, AKM, AKMS,...
not the only game in town anymore

Last time I checked, Google Appliance was not indexing file shares - http only. My buddy's company makes appliance that does. And it costs 10% of Google's. See my sig for details;-)
my father-in-law is pushing 70 and started using computer just a few months ago. I just rebuilt his PC and put Firefox in (under nice INTERNET icon). Yesterday he mentioned to me how fast and junk-free "Internet" became on his comp. And then I showed him the tabs...
the "problem" is that to be efficient, a virus needs to preserve the host. The reformatted machine is useless for prolifiration of the virus because it no longer runs it. The "best" viruses [screw grammar] are the ones to strike perfect balance between the reproduction and doing damage to the host.
why exactly would they need "a non-GPL applications layer"?
GPL in Linux only applies to the modifications to OS itself. Tons of companies release commercial soft for Linux: Oracle, BEA,... Nothing prevents MS from releasing Office for Linux if and when they decide it is good thing to do market-wise.
And it would not be hard technically because the y produce native ports of their soft to OS X every day.
I used to have 200K salary, 10 people under me and 2 mil / year budget. But I also had my ass chewed every day, blood pressure, divorce and lots of extra weight.
I found courage to quit and went back to coding. Today I work 40 hours a week, 10 months a year, do what I want and lost 50 pounds.
I second that, Mr. Coward.
The best contracting opportunities come from knowing and understanding the mistakes big companies make. The best way to learn that is to spend 4,6,8 years in the field before going solo.
And dont get caught in the loyalty game (even when golden handcuffs are offered). If a company environment no longer satisfies your goals - move on to the next one.
It is actually quite simple.
Best software is created by small, nimble teams. Any corporation has this natural tendency to make any process big and bloated. So the bigger and more successful co becomes, the more difficult it becomes to produce decent software.
Microsoft must be on the far extreme end of this rule.
..inter-continental transportation.
Compare number of people who would pay for a ride on SpaceShipOne vs. number of people who would pay for something more practical - say getting you and two bags to Hawaii in 1.5 hours.
Imagine a SSO like design big enough for 20 people and second stage and launched at 45 degrees instead of vertical. Any rocket scientists in here to calculate what a range of something like that might be?
>> Now that the Mercury missions have more or less been reproduced...
I knew I would find posting like this one;-)
No they were not. Early Mercury missions were flying the ballistic trajectory. All the equipment (except the booster) was identical to the later orbital flights. The only different thing to do to a Mercury capsule to go orbital instead of ballistic was to push it harder with a more powerful booster.
As such, SpaceShipOne flights (which go straight up) are NOT sub-orbital in a Mercury sense.
worked for us = YMMV
We got a tall quality office chair instead of a rocking one. You can still rock but it also rotates and it is a godsend when you try to manipulate bottles with crying baby in your hands.
Cheap baby monitor with more than one receiver. We finally used flashing mode only no audio. If you put receivers in the strategic points around the house you get into the habbit of glancing at them no matter what you do automatically.
Babysitter recommended thru someone in the family and paid MORE than others would.
We kept baby in our bedroom just kinda separated a corner with furniture, etc. We had a rule that I would get up and take care of the baby if it was in between the feeding hours and the wife would otherwise. This gave us solid hours of sleep even during the worst times.
Good luck. this is the best time in your life.
The biggest problem with Slashdot Java flaming is that people do not realize what Java is.
If you compare language to language, say Java to C, C# or even Ruby and Python, it is easy to see why Java is "slow" and "bloated". But Java is to be compared to something like.NET and not just a language.
Java is a platform. Java provides on-the-fly class loading and verification including digital signing of the code, very fine-grained security model (you can create your own sandbox with whatever security rules you want), first-class GUI (fast and responsive if you know what you are doing), tons of class libraries, enterprise APIs (which, minus ill-fated EJBs, are very popular), crypto and much more.
So the only "other" platform of similar mugnitude is.NET and this is what you need to measure Java against.
what about packaging of the finished product?
I suppose if I develop in Mono for Windows I need to be able to make an.exe that would run on any.NET implementation (MS or Mono) my user happens to have installed.
I guess I can always use Visual Studio to create nice installer that would include gtk/glade dlls and whatever else I may need. But can I do the same without VS?
