i also use nagios, partly cause i never could realy understand snmp. it seems if all i need to do is monitor hardware then snmp is great. but in my case we run in-house code and need to monitor linux and win processes that there are no oids for. i mean can i detect if notepad.exe is runing via snmp ?
1) Trends over the years show that almost always in mid term elections in the second term of the president - the other side wins. So what is the big surprise here? [From an op-ed in usa today. saw the same on cnn "To be sure, midterm elections have not been kind to presidents or their parties. For example, since 1862, there have been 36 midterm elections held during the first or second terms of an administration. In 33 of those 36 elections, the opposition party gained strength in the House."]
2) Republicans were on a 12 year streak of control of both houses. When the dems break that record then you will have something to talk about - till then it's just a "reaction" or "protest vote". America is not turning left just yet.
3) News outlets are saying that the dems got a protest vote - people were angry about Iraq and corruption. This suggests that no one was really interested in traditional democratic values such as social action.
4) According to Elliot Wave theory every movement is made up of 5 waves. 3 up and 2 down. So the dem victory had to happen. No upward movement lasts forever w/ out a brief retreat. Since the dominant trend over the past years has been for a republican lead America the dem victory can be seen as a corrective wave before the next one begins. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliot_wave
Notice no one ever bets if the weather will be sunny today over Africa or not. With out ups and downs there is no game. So a democratic victory is part of a necessary process of a greater republican gain.
thanx to McNealy's poor leadership my 10 years of Solaris experience is basically worthless today. Outside of the Armed Forces i have never been to a place where they used Solaris or wanted a Admin w/ Solaris experience.
good thing i started doing skunk projects w/ linux back in '98 so at least i am employable today.
I'll miss Sun and Solaris. So long and thanx for all the fish!
"What saddens me the most, is that the Media plays a great part in forming this image"
umm as if arabs hijacking planes have nothing to do w/ it ? or arabs who blow up israeli busses have nothing to do w/ it ? the media ? they are your greatest defenders !! they won't even call a terrorist a terrorist !!!
so let me tell you what saddens me:
1) 3000 people killed on 9/11 by arabs
2)the death of 1000 israelis in the last few years who were killed by arabs.
3) seeing a woman burried alive because she broke islamic law
4) 17 sailors of the uss cole who were murderd by arabs
which is why the media regualry condems the war in iraq, attacks bush and his administration and spends its time waiting for the next "watergate" to bring down the president
the article while interesting is a sad commentary on how the most Arabs been shafted by their leaders for the past 60 years.
lets talk about an article that wouldn't be so interesting.
"computer life in Israel" it has all the elements of this story
2 countries that 60 years ago were even on the starting line one had no particular advantage over the other. both were backwards at the time w/ no real educational elites to lead them (they both had universities). small populations focused on agriculture, both coming out of a period of being ruled by others (the British) (OT - those were the good ol` days when Jordanians occupied the west bank and nobody complained that they stole the land from the Palestinians or denied them a state - but i digress)
yet here we are 50 something yrs later and Israel has managed to produce and endless amount of tech in computer, medical, bio-tech,etc.. and here we are fascinated by a Jordanian who uses a computer.
notebooks seem to be the way to go since everyone want to be able to work at home. i think i read soewhere that notebooks are overtaking desktops in sales. where i work %75 of the people have notebooks. (out of 50)
although i have been using unix on servers for over 10 years i only switched over on the desktop a half a year ago.
things i miss about windows:
universal copy and paste w/ out having to click on klipper out of the box full duplex sound for all my applications wonderfull tools like openperl ide, sqlyog, etc... click and install everything. no dependencies. why do i have to upgrade Kpilot to install Evolution ? i don't use a palm pilot ?!?! why can various versions of libraries live along side each other. why does the desire to install one piece of software force me to upgrade my whole system ? stupid KDE bubbles that won't turn off.
you get the point.
next time i am going to go w/ winxp on the desktop, vmware to run my own linux wkstn, and secure crt to do all my work in.
frankly w/ all the free/oss software available on windows including AV, and anti-spyware there is no reason to endure the inconvenience of a linux desktop.
His story infuriated MacArthur, who had it quashed.

actually Buffett
1) has lots of un-invested cash since this strategy doesn't present itself w/ lots of opportunities.
2) admits he never got the "hi-tech" thing.
3) most of his earnings are from the insurance companies he owns.
4) currently doesn't practice what he preaches by hedging against the dollar ( he lost $310m so far)
However I saw a quote from him a while back and investors would be wise to keep it mind
"Buffett says investors would be better off if they could invest only a limited number of times, as if you had only 10 tickets that permitted investments in your whole life. Buffett gives the example of a baseball batter just patiently waiting as the pitches sail by him. You wait for the perfect pitch--and then you hit it out of the park."

if we can harness the power of stupidity we will be able to reach places never before thought possible.

if their sysadmin lables the backup tapes is a different story. but i think the data is there.
which would explain how the y2k bug got started.
'nuff said.
btw thanx opera for a great browser. one of the few apps that keeps me on (desktop)linux
Actually, GUI Subversion clients like TortoiseSVN can show diffs for binary files
yet another reason to switch to windows !
this is anti-semantic. does the ADL know about this ?
sun is next !
thanx to McNealy's poor leadership my 10 years of Solaris experience is basically worthless today. Outside of the Armed Forces i have never been to a place where they used Solaris or wanted a Admin w/ Solaris experience.

well if Oracle is shopping, Sun makes a better choice then Ubuntu

look here for more of what saddens me

but what really saddens me is people like you who continue to blame the media, israel and GW Bush for thier problems.
which is why the media regualry condems the war in iraq, attacks bush and his administration and spends its time waiting for the next "watergate" to bring down the president

sorry, but that is how i feel.
1)overcharge for services (i.e cds,concerts and software)
2)donate a small percentage of that cash to charity
3) profit ?!?!?!?
so does that mean we should start calling it GNU\Wikipedia ?!?!
now that they finished the FF toolbar they can get started on one for opera.
hackers will also be able to compile whatever they want as well. not good.
So basically the the job spike created by the dot com era has retraced to where it was before the boom started.
