On Apple laptops the fn key coupled with the left arrow and right arrow maps to the home button and end button. So shift + function + right can give you the behaviour you want. By default home and end behave slightly differently on OS X, but that can be easily fixed to make them behave as you'd expect:

Facebook used to allow apps/games to optionally provide a secure URL to be used when a user was logged in via https but it was up to the developer to determine if https was supported or not. Because SSL = the need to purchase a certificate many did not, but it's now required that a secure URL be provided.
For starters, Oracle has restricted access to download firmware for Sun servers as discussed in this old Slashdot story. Loved Sun's x86 server line, but will no longer considering buying it. Just do not trust Oracle not to screw us.
The MPAA gives a $500 reward to theater employees who assist in the arrest/charging of someone who is caught recording a film. So yes, a jerk, but because he wanted his blood money. It's the same situation as that girl who recorded a few seconds of Transformers a couple years back.
For a while now they've had their AWS Import/Export service. It's still in beta and only available to people in the US, but it won't stay that way forever.
Need to transfer 1TB of data? Mail Amazon the data on a drive, they load it, send you the device back. Sure beats uploading for 3 month with a cable modem. Have more data than that? You can send them up to an 8U drive enclosure, and more than that if you make special arrangements.
Is it just me or is something about the deliverables on page 97 a little off? "Advanced search" due Aug 10, but the system architecture due after 6 months? Data migration due in 2007?
While I don't advocate the approach they used to get the cameras in place, surely catching drunk drivers as they're leaving the pub isn't a bad thing? Hell, given all the press on just how useless cameras are at preventing crime, it seems using them to catch drunk drivers is probably just about all they're actually good for.
Another feature would be automatically copying of frequently accessed files -- if a certain bunch of files on a website becomes popular, they would be transparently copied across the spindles to increase access time.
Doesn't Sun's new ZFS-based "open storage" hardware do this already to some extent? It automatically moves the most accessed files onto the solid state drives to speed things up.
While that may be true, you're hardly comparing apples to apples. The entry level 2TB model has 14 146GB 10K RPM SAS drives.
You'd still be able to whitebox it for a lot cheaper, but not 4x1TB SATA cheap.
It was also mentioned on the pre-announcement discussion that some people at Sun wanted to price it lower, but internally the powers that be didn't want their hardware to look "cheap". As such, prices went up. The good news is that supposedly the VARs will have some room to play with on the pricing. Not the most straight forward way to go on Sun's part, but the actual prices may be a fair bit lower at the end of the day. Hell, you can get it at 20% off from Sun directly through their try and buy program.
"MySQL replication works for InnoDB tables as it does for MyISAM tables. It is also possible to use replication in a way where the storage engine on the slave is not the same as the original storage engine on the master. For example, you can replicate modifications to an InnoDB table on the master to a MyISAM table on the slave."
Well then, you'll be happy to know that Wietse Venema from IBM Research put in a proposal for taint support in PHP a couple months ago. I'm not sure if anything has come of it as there was a fair amount of concern that it would turn into another "Safe Mode" debacle, but from what I remember his plan was to essentially start work on a proof of concept implementation early this year and then take it from there.
First of all, the issue HAS been fixed in PHP5 and above. Secondly, this is NOT a remote code execution vulnerability. The only way it can be exploited is by already having the ability to make the server run arbitrary scripts.
Yes, in a shared host environment it potentially allows users to bypass safe mode and open basedir restrictions, however information on how to properly secure PHP for a shared environment has been around for a LONG Time. Not one person on the development team you go so far as to call incompetent would state that safe mode (which has been depreciated) and open basedir are sufficient for that purpose. On a properly configured server this exploit won't let a user do anything but access their own files. This fact coupled with the backwords compatibility break is why it's marked WONTFIX, not because of incompetence or misunderstanding.
They're not talking about making the individual songs more expensive, they're asking for a large advance payment from the online retailers in order to pass on the risk:
"EMI is willing to lose the DRM, but they demand a considerable advance payment to make it happen."
The major label's already work this way, they require you to give them sales guarantees in order to be able sell their music digitally. "You want to sell our music? Fine, just pre-pay us for your first $250k worth of sales so we know we're not wasting our time." In order to take on the risk of selling non-DRM protected music EMI is demanding much higher amounts in guarantees. This way, even if the music ends up pirated and sales tank because of it they get their money, it's the retailer - who has been pressuring them to sell DRM-free music - who takes the loss.
Tuscola County Prosecutor Mark E. Reene initially relied on those images for charges that the men were conducting surveillance on a vulnerable target -- a 20-year felony offense.
Am I the only one who finds it scary that "conducting surveillance" can result in 20 years in prison? If that doesn't have potential for abuse I don't know what does.
Oops, only the linux journal article is down, the cnet article has answered my question: it isn't any cheaper than iSCSI + SATA solutions. $4,000 without any drives, compared to a starting price of $5,000 for a StoreVault (new from NetApp) with 1TB of storage. Other options such as Adaptec's Snap Server start just as cheap.
TFA isn't responding, so maybe I'm missing something but how does this new protocol actually result in cheaper costs per GB? It's already possible to get an iSCSI SAN which uses SATA drives, and one of the major cost differences is the type of drive. What else is new here?
Where do you get that you don't have any way of testing that the backup works? That's flat out wrong. Amanda provides tools for browsing backups, performing partial restores and more.
Soft on the other hand will time out and display an error if the NFS server an issue occurs.
Well that's what I get for posting before my morning coffee. That bad attempt at Yoda-speak should read: "Soft on the other hand will time out and display an error if an issue with the NFS server occurs."
Right now, I'm using a Linux server with three Macs (two Tiger, one Panther), and everything is over NFS. Most of the time, it works fine, but if there's a weird hiccup, then the Mac will freeze solid and has to be hard power-cycled.
This issue has to do with how you're mounting the NFS share. In particular, it sounds like you're using the hard mount option when what you want is soft. If hard is specified and there's an issue the client will stop and wait for the nfs server to be available again before allowing the action to continue. Soft on the other hand will time out and display an error if the NFS server an issue occurs.

Uh... he did say: "hey, if I invented it, I can brag about it". Seems pretty clear what his relationship is to me.
How does this compare to traditional tests? One hour is great and all, but how long to today's tests take to return results?

It means that if the instance is shut down for whatever reason, any and all data stored on that instance is lost. While in theory it's possible to keep the instance running indefinitely, there have been cases where people's instances have been restarted resulting in data loss. http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2007/Oct/02/amazon_ec2_outage_wipes_out_data.html
