And to preempt those that say "Yes you can do this with LVM!", no you can't. Filers can use regular store space for snapshots if they run out of snapshot reserve, whereas LVM just stops doing copy-on-write if it runs out of snapshot reserve, effectively becoming completely useless from that point on. There's a huge difference in convenience there -- with Linux LVM you must constantly watch space usage of your snapshots vs available VG space vs the snapshot volume sizes you're creating. Hmmmm... Maybe if I wrote a daemon/cron-script to automagickally lvextend snapshot volumes that were close to capacity, that might help a lot....
Amusingly, the Geek aversion to dance and/or public situations is similar to that of the Japanese public. A wholy heart-warming and amusing movie about this from Japan is Shall We Dance. It could be found at our local library in the foreign films section and I would highly recommend it.
This seems like it should be easy to implement as an emacs mode of some sort. Anybody know if it's been done / is being done? I'd be remiss to give up XEmacs, thanks.
It works marvellously when it works. Randomized pid, randomized sequence numbers, and soon to have ACL's that define resource limits on just about anything. Really powerful.
When it works.
I've been trying to run it on an SMP Xeon for a while now, and any time the machine exerts itself I have to go hit the big red button. And it's not really a machine I'd like to do "testing" on, so no, I won't help with debugging. What "testing" I've done so far has been nothing but infuriating.
Another few tidbits: all the security in grsec basically completely prevents any JVM from running at all. Ditto UML. (Though UML may also have issues with SMP. But now that I've removed a big variable in my equation of horror...)
Since Rusell Coker has package SELinux for Debian, I will definitely have to investigate that sometime in the near future. I think I'll rack some uptime first to bolster my self esteem.:)
This actually wouldn't work, because you don't have an autonomous system number for a subnet (and AS's aren't given below about/23 anyways). In other words, you'd need real routing protocols like BGP on your border router.
Think about what would happen: say you started up a ssh session to foo.domain.com; the remote server would see packets coming from two different IP addresses claiming to be alternating for the same session. TCP just doesn't work that way normally.
So as I implied, you'd need to fix your IP inside a subnet that is broadcasted on the BGP routing tables.
All you actually need is Squid. Set up a user-visible cache, and parent it to two non-caching proxies on each line. Then just adjust the weighting based on the relative speeds of the lines.
I'm assuming this is all the functionality this little router provides.

In addition to the reasons given by the others, the other reason this is odd is because unlike a "keyboard buffer full" beep, this was a different sequence of beeps. A slow paced beep, like I said, as opposed to the "buffer full" barrage of beeps. You can tell it's from something different. And what purpose does it serve? Oh well.:-)

Along those lines, on most older DOS machines, if you hold down most of the modifier keys (Ctrl, Shift, etc) it will start emitting a slow, paced, beeping sequence. Very odd. Except some Packard Bell's -- they hardlock.
I so hate xine's UI. I detest it. Why can't we have a nice program that does all the formats and has a clean UI like VideoLAN or even aviplay. sinek is a nice start, but xine is/was horribly, horribly unstable.

IBM's TSM/ADSM is very nice. Rather unobtrusive, and last I looked no per-seat licensing, just more expensive server licenses. Also, since TSM/ADSM back up snapshots/revisions the added functionality of letting users retrieve old documents will make them want to opt-in to the backup.
For your scenario, it may still be too expensive. Too bad, really.
Simple.
If I had a nickel for every open source project that some pimple faced youth started up because it'd be k3wl and then never really took anywhere or never had any users, I'd be a rich man. All the data would produce something like a median of 1.05 and a mode (again) of 1.
What are some of the most interesting computing projects you've heard about using MOSIX that could pretty much only happen using MOSIX (as opposed to "plain old" PVM/MPI/etc)?
No, cinematically I think it's better that she just wistfully thinks to herself. Adding more in there will clutter it too much.
But then there's jump cuts and contrast errors all over EP2. Cinematically.
I've used a multichannel Vortex in setting up a NetApp-like box using Linux and LVM and it's an absolute dream. Would've been highly recommended, except they've been acquired by Intel recently and I don't know what direction they've taken (since I've moved on from that particular jobsite).

I turned all the protections off with chpax and it still failed to run. Probably running into the the address space layout randomization.
One of the big drawbacks I've found is that vserver is rather Red Hat specific. And since I run Debian...

Yes, quite true. But many Slashdot geeks just have a P3-600 or something lying basically unused as their l33t firewall anyways. :-)

Interesting article on building Debian from source. Best of both worlds?

Except that "dirs" is the bash internal for showing your current directory stack (cf. pushd/popd). FYI.

Yada, yada. Don't complain about options. Yada, yada. Well, I'll use it when Debian packages it.

No, the older ones are. The newer ones are rebranded AIC. And the model numbers don't help a lot.
