From a bit of digging around I assume it is this site: http://guildbuildersinc.com.nyud.net/ (coral cache) or guildbuildersinc.com Although you can't really see much on there without logging in.
I'd be interested to hear views of anyone else that has seen the book, as the only review on Amazon is by the same person as on here.
The issue with this is it makes deploying disk images across a network a lot more hassle, rather than just being the size of the data it's the size of the whole partition.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Trying to maintain a network with windows (mostly XP) and Linux machines, and standardised images make this a lot easier.
AFAIK Atos Origin have run the backbone for the olympics (winter and summer) for quite a few years now and the main systems are reused/tweaked for all of them.
Is there anyone at the BSI we can complain to about this? It might not change the voting results but I had hoped that the UK at least could have conducted things in a more sensible manner.
That's the same issue I have:(
Hopefully they should be announcing the p5 (or whatever they will call it) later today, which is rumoured to be similar but running symbian.
Gives a very good synopsis of UK healthcare.
Complaining about the NHS can be something of a sport over here for the papers, but it is actually far better than most people give it credit for and I'm glad we have it.
Sucks that you have to pay to recieve calls:s
The only time us europeans pay is when we're in another country and using roaming. And then we get the option to disable incoming calls..
In a way I sort of see what the parent says. Myself I'd much rather mark the location on a map and use traditional methods to find it. If you know what you're doing with a compass in a lot of areas you can get more accurate than gps. Only you have to work a bit more for it.
I'm not disputing the fact that it's not as easy as follow the gps and then you're at the cache, but I'd much prefer the extra challenge of not using GPS. Far too often when taking people outdoors or teaching kids to navigate I see people up in the mountains, lost because their GPS batteries have run out. A couple of hours learning how to navigate, and my kids can find their way around without any problems:) And do some more work on micronavigation and they'll beat a GPS unit when in feature rich terrain.
If I placed a geocache I'd put it somewhere where following a straight bearing would lead you into a rock face you can't go past and then have the gps signal crap out. That way you'd have to find your way from there to the cache using a compass;)
I often use dog tags, for when I'm climbing, kayaking etc. You don't always have a wallet on you..
That said, during day to day activities I carry a wallet and don't bother with dog tags..

What's On Your Network?

We do this on our home (5 guys at uni) network - whenever someone comes along and plugs something in they can access http through our proxy bu that's it. It's not hard to get around though, but for our use it does the job
I'd like to see anyone try and invade switzerland.
I've spent a lot of time there, and as well as having so many people trained and equiped with rifles (seriously, every house is not far off the mark) the ENTIRE country is built like a fortress. Bridges, tunnels and motorways are all designed to make strategic defense easy - there are contingency plans for each section of transport route. And every bridge/tunnel has points for blowing and blocking already planned out and marked. And the explosives to do so are kept not far away.
I'm not swiss, but there's a reason why during both world wars and all the other european wars none of the countries got anywhere near switzerland...
Nope, a HUGE problem over there is the number of people using AC, which raises the temperature of the city a hell of a lot, making more people use AC etc....
Now if the building is cooler they don't have to use as much AC right?
Sorry for the late reply, been away for a bit.
We don't actually pay for the data that then leaves janet - we just pay a flat rate. As long as it is deemed academic (from and academic computer or via our campus proxy) we don't pay for it, regardless of whether it later leaves the janet network.
The rate we pay is actually calculated based on the uni's size and income, not the bandwidth.
Yes, but routing all our traffic through janet means we pay nothing for that. That includes http, ftp, and ssh from uni machines. From halls, which have no direct external link to the net - everything goes through the proxy on campus, so that also isn't charged. Thus, more than 90% of our Uni's traffic isn't paid for (other than monthly or annual charges)

https://www.gandi.net/faq/view_question/313 What worries me about Gandi is that they don't offer auto renewing and the restore rates if it expires are pretty steep...

I was wondering the same thing when reading an article saying they were pumping the water back into the lake. One dead lake coming up...
N.O. really isn't anything like Holland, and the same rules shouldn't apply.
Thanks to this article it's now advertised here as well...
Bit tinfoil maybe, but some good points...

Where did you get hold of a 12U floor standing rack for $30?

But what is needed is a way of preventing them from occurring in the first place...
It was Ford who gave the auto to everyone.
That's a bit different to inventing the car though. Although he did invent something - the assembly line process.
