  1. Re:I Hate War Rooms on What Would You Want In a Large-Scale Monitoring System? · · Score: 1

    I actually have most of this with Nagios. We are monitoring over 400 nodes with over 1200 services. I set up a soap perl script to create a ticket in our Numara Footprints support database. From there we use footprints escalations to email after 15minutes of downtime. and again after 1 hour. It will also email when the ticket is closed(host is back up). This allows us to do complex associates of users(say, bill gets all email issues, tom gets all issues at this location, etc). It also allows us to do some very complex reports and graphs using the footprints interface.

    i meant incentive for the person doing the hacking......

    this smells like a "to be spun into marketing copy" stunt.
    that's exactly what they're doing. They want to make it look like their security process is top notch, but by giving an incentive they would have had more people testing it and it would have looked a lot better. like i said, most linux geeks don't want to see linux compremised, so they probably wouldn't even try. and the people that do know how to compremise it wouldn't want to tip them off.
  4. Incentive? on Linux Server Break-in Challenge · · Score: 3, Interesting

    is there any reason to do this? you would think that the linux geeks out there wouldn't want it to be compremised. especially since there is no reward or prize of any sort. most people that are capable of doing this wouldn't want to.

  5. Need to hurry up and get back out there on Astronauts Face Bleak Odds For Spaceflight · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's amazing how far we've come in the past 36 years. We were once going to the moon, now we can't even go to space! We need to get up there, no matter how we get there. Be it spaceshipone, or the shuttles, or something new. What NASA really needs to do is stop canceling all the good ideas for vehicles. They'll let the planning and testing go on for 8+ years and then nothing comes out of it.

    apple doesn't run macworld....they don't get money from higher attendence

  7. Re:Imac on Some iPod Fans Dump PCs For Macs · · Score: 0

    i get about 2.5 hours watching a dvd on an old powerbook g4, which apple claimed had 5 hours of life(i get 6-7 when i'm doing other stuff) since apple claims 6hours for the ibook you should get atleast that. and it's pretty easy to switch batteries too, since mac laptops can switch batteries while sleeping...so just close the lid, switch the battery, open it up and you're good

    mac is true command line.....mac os x that is....so learn before you comment

  14. Re:version numbers on Macintosh... The Naked Truth · · Score: 1

    it is a marketing thing for sure..but you must remember that most of the code in os x came from OpenStep which came from NeXTStep...so it is probably even higher then a 10.0 release...it's been around for a good 14 years if i recall correctly. i personally think adding an x to the name of an os is better then going from 3.1->98...
