Wake up and smell the coffee. The internet is as insecure as it comes - anything you don't feel comfortable sending across WiFi you shouldn't send across the Internet either. WiFi has the advantage that only people in your neighbourhood can break in - that's heaven when you compare it to the internet:-) Encryption exists, use it, you should do anyway if it has to go through the internet - no difference.
Agreed - that's just the difference that I get the impression a lot of folks are missing; mile after mile of block text is easy to get down real fast, what counts is how fast you can type your work - whether that be correctly formatted code, letters, meeting minutes, IRC;-)
'Magic database' it may not be, but don't write the author's words off that quickly. You say the files are little more than CSVs? Perhaps you failed to notice the fact that every one of these "CSV"s are rigidly defined and structured, with field descriptions?
LOL. Rigidly defined and structured? You mean that records have a set number of characters - oh yes you can take 150 characters and divide it up into 5 fields of 2 characters and the rest as spacers, but get over it, someone is someday going to deliver the same phyical file with 10 fields of 15 characters and no spacers. It's gonna break all the other cls, querys, pgms you have on that box, and you'll have to replace the logical files that use it too. Not as rigid as you make out, the field names only matter till you move them... The number of characters per "record" ain't gonna change, someone has just decided to carve the spacers up... Forward thinking decades ago, it most certainly was, and to this day remains useful, but it isn't a magic SQL filesystem like many make out, it's just a filesystem built from the ground up with the idea that it should be made easy to represent the data in whatever way suits.
Agreed - I don't know that much about OS/400 but I know enough to know the author doesn't know sh*t about it - he seems to have picked up that OS/400 has some magic database filesystem - get over it, IT DOESN'T.
What the OS/400 has is a lot of flat files that to me look like csv - you have delimited fields in flat physical files that can be turned into fields if you look at the file using strsql (ie SQL interface to the filesystem) rather than dsppfm. BIG DEAL Now grant it you can have logical files which are to OS/400 what views are to real databases, but this isn't the file system itself as much as the different ways you can look at it - it's like saying that Windows has a "word-processor" based file system because they have tools that can open files and make them look like preprocessed text!! OK grant it, you can use strsql on an AS/400 box to get stuff to look like fields and tables, but like word files if you open them with notepad, they're not fields and tables at all, but files and seperated values.... the only difference is the TOOLS YOU USE TO OPEN THEM
I just got an iRiver iHP-140 with 40Gb of storage. I just finished ripping my CD collection, which compared to many of my friends is not a huge CD collection. I reached 15Gb or so even missing out those I don't think I'd listen to. If you're really doubting please let me have your email address and I'll send you a photo of my CDs. That only comes out to 2750 songs ripped to 192Kb/s oggs.. I figure that even someone with the kind of burger flipping job you have could quite easily fill up 20Gb legally and still be able to eat.
OK, OK, OK. I'm standing corrected. Guess I'm more of a superstitious person than I'd willingly let on. Hit my previous post with "-1, Superstition", cos I just tried it on one of the test machines here (Debian, 2.4.23) kernel, and as this person points out it all just looks perfect. Well, I'll be off to whip myself with linux kernel docs 13 times while walking under a ladder:-D My apolgies.
LoL - don't get your security fixes from a well-known reliable place, be a rebel and download them from some guy's homedir. Now that's what I call security policy!
Have you ever actually used that command? Did it work? Start with man cp and see where you went wrong. I think you might want to look at commands that read the contents of a file and then try and redirect the output to another file.
IDE sucks for important things. it's SCSI only for me from now on.
Wrong.
Working without backups sucks for important things; it's backups only for me from now on.
Come on folks, if it breaks only backups are going to save your butt - if it really is important stuff you'll loose it once then get some backup in place and not care if your wife uses IDE or SCSI.
Yes, but Slashdot has these things called editors. Now if they can't edit badly written items into sensible english, they're not editors but news monkeys.
Re:Why doesn't Sun integrate this stuff into Solar

Sun Opens Cobalt Code

Aside from Genome integration, Solaris userland has been static for many, many years (far too long IMHO - Sun relies upon sunfreeware.com far too much).
Some people like Solaris because of this. Migration is easier when few things change. Others also think that it cost Sun a big part of the workstation market. Some people's good choices are other people's bad choices.I personally am glad it doesn't move too much, but I can see why you're not.
Actually, what I'd like to see is Sun pick the best GNU distribution and wrap the Solaris kernel and libc around it. Sun releasing GNU/Solaris would prove that there is life in the old girl yet.
I disagree. I don't want them to do this because you can do it yourself - that's man/hour's that would be better spent on *real* solaris dev:-) You yourself say that it's all on sunfreeware, and since all sane solaris users use jumpstart and customise the builds, you can have GNU tools on anything if you want them anyway. It's flexible - and I like that. The GNU tools are there is you want to use them (and I agree you probably would:-)) - doing it this way is win/win, IMHO.
P.S. All our builds have most of the GNU Tools available, though not installed, on a shared netfiler. Just about everyone mounts them and puts it in the path before most everything else:-D
OK I'll bite. That your family and friends mean more to you than someone you've never met is not surprising at all. But why should you care more that someone you don't know in Texas doesn't have a job and can't feed their kids than some guy in New Delhi who's in the same mess? Could it be that the guy in New Delhi is Indian?
If you can't care about both, then you can't care about either...
I believe that the Connector requires that Outlook Web Access be available on your E2K server - so watch you don't get bitten by that if you choose not to allow web access to your Exchange.

Interesting stuff indeed - here in Europe one of the things that makes me agree with what you say is the Eurostar (channel tunnel train) from Paris to London. I can leave the house here in Paris at 6:45am (CET) and be in the office in London a little after 9 GMT. You can't do this in planes, airports in Paris and most London airports (horribly expensive City aside) are about 30 mins further away, and on such a short trip that's a killer. It's door to door time that counts, not flight time...
Please give me your secret! Seriously though, given the hawk like gaze that most registrars have on expiry dates, I can't believe you didn't get hounded with renewal notices. Heck - one of my domains is up for renewal in febuary and I've been getting at least one mail a week asking me to renew it. Sounds simply like the person who was the contact wasn't doing their job, so as everyone else on Slashdot will point out eagerly, I think you're just gonna have to deal with it, and that's the best and fairest way there is - I for one sure would be pissed if I registered a domain only to get it taken off me because the former owner suddenly decided he still wanted it after all.
Most commercial unix systems like solaris are based on BSD.
Wrong. SunOS 4.x (renamed posthumously to Solaris 1.x I believe, by the Sun Marketroids) was a BSD based UNIX. Sun bit the bullet and shifted to SysV for Solaris 2.x, hence the renaming and major version increment (though IIRC SunOS 4.x was never called Solaris 1.x until Solaris 2.x came out - go figure). The Sun marketroids consequently spat on everything BSD based explaining how the way ahead was SysV. Before that, of course, they spat on SysV explaining how superior BSD was. Marketroids, you see. The other big players (AIX, HP-UX, and, I believe, Tru64 or whatever they call it now) are also SysV based. This was no doubt one of the compelling reasons for Sun's switch, at the time. Which brings me to my point - please name come commercial BSD implementations that have "very good" [sic] SMP.
