I wrote a network monitor (the daemon part anyway) that could do this, 100's per second. It did http(s) and ftp. You have to make it multi-threaded, included the host look ups. The big problem doing that many is that if you get a network outage you will get a lot of events generated which will kill most event managers, so you need a good front end event filter which it sounds like Nagios has.
Monitoring at that high a rate is also good if you have a SLA that's pretty tight.
Another good thing to have is good built-in forensic diagnostics so you don't get paged by operations at 3 am to explain that spurious down event.
I assume a bot harvested the addresses. If there were meta tags saying "hey! we don't serve bots here" or something to that effect then I would think the terms of use would be enforceable.
I'm seriously considering emmigrating somewhere cheap. Think of it. The only reason Indian programmers can undercut American programmers is the cost of living is cheaper there. Two can play at this game. Any suggestions from expat programmers out there?
This kind of stuff is always going to happen. It will never be fixed. The problem is that when you look at has to be done to prevent this, it always ends up at the credit card companies and how they conduct business. They will never fix it. From their point of view, they get a better ROI putting their capitol into other things like giving credit cards to the less credit worthy and money to lobbyists to change the bankruptcy laws so they can screw the less credit worthy, then by preventing fraud. In other words, they would lose money by fighting fraud.
Now, if somehow fraud was to increase quite dramatically, then you might see this change.
but your previous experience as a clerk at the Swiss Patent Office doesn't qualify you for a position of research physicist here at the Institute for Advanced Studies.

There's speed. Slow speed is pedestrian traffic. Faster speed would be vehicle traffic. Being still would be inside a building most likely.
Then there's temporal distribution. At mealtimes, the non movement would be resturants. Right after mealtimes would be restrooms (when you're a tourist knowing where the restrooms are is valuable information). Evening, theatres and bars.
I assume you are talking about a small business. Small businesses and large businesses are different enough that I wouldn't try to generalize between the two. It's large businesses that generally do the most exploitation and try to maintain that through political lobbying.
Small businesses may seem similar, but that's because very few small business owners will hire someone as a peer equal with as big an ego as their own. They prefer someone at a disadvantage, so they're not above a little bottom feeding themselves.
Now that is cool. I have a print of it. It's the cover from Red Rackham's Treasure. They could do it I think. Is there a "clear line" style of film making?
When iSCSI becomes real you are going to see a lot more raid-1 mirroing with one half of the mirror at a remote location. Also using remote tape drives for backup. Currently if you do store your backup tapes offsite, there is still that logistical problem of getting them offsite in a timely manner. Things like if you have 10 partly full DLT tapes at $$ a tape, do you send then offsite right away or do you wait for the next set of backups to fill them up. The former can be quite expensive. Also, since most restores are from most recent backup tapes, sending them offsite right away causes delays in your restores while you wait for the tape to come back. Remote tape backup will solve a lot of these issues.
No, it's what Microsoft wants, a propietary solution hardwired into the hardware. And they're big enough to create a market. Yeah, you could go and create something based on open standards, but you're not big enough to create a market. And so you (and the rest of us) lose and Microsoft has another piece fo the pie.
You would think it would be but looking for work takes up a lot of time what with scanning the job boards for jobs that really exist. I have some theories as to why some of the same jobs stay posted for months and months, and one of them applies to you poor overworked slobs who kept your jobs. And that is that HR wants a pile of hot current resumes on hand when one of you snaps under the workload and quits. Hear that sound? That's Catbert, the Evil HR director, purring.
Basically they just get too greedy, price it too high, and it never takes off. We see this time and time again. Somebody developes some some really cool new technology but it's propietary and they price it too high so it never hits its sweet spot and never takes off. This business is littered with the corps of such attempts.
This whole "digital divide" thing is a moot question. Computing is getting cheaper and cheaper to the point where it will become ubiquitous. Except ironically that by the time we reach that point, the corporations and media will have completed their entire takeover of the computing infrastructure, so none of us will be empowered.
Well, they could build an artillary shell out of corner prisms. Corner prisms would reflect the laser beam back to where it came from. I wouldn't want to be standing near the laser if that happened.
I used to think that. I mean I deliberately got myself laid off in the early ninties because I though being technical was better than stagnating in some coporate drudge job. But I was wrong. This cyclic discard everything old and get only the latest is getting worse and worse. It's job market Russian roulette and statistically you are going to lose because you are not going to have all 20 of those latest leet skills. None of your old skills, no matter how great, will amount for aught.
No, the way to go is to join one of those corporations, if you can suppress your gag reflex, and imbed yourself in the bureaucratic hierarchy which is a self protecting organism. Even when those companies lay off look at who they lay off, the non politically saavy tech types. Middle management stays entrenched and they're surviviors.
Product announcements have been getting progressively more optimistic. Rounding up to the next quarter is a good idea. So when they say Fall 2002 that means 4th quarter which they will barely make. Add 3 to 6 months for general availability. You won't see these things until spring 2003.
Also, check out the controller maker websites like 3ware and Promise. Except for a high end raid cards, they're still talking preliminary. You don't see any mention of plain pci SATA controllers. What you though we were going to throw out all our old motherboards just so we get one with only 2 SATA connectors?

Water Computing

· Score: 1
It was written up in Scientific American ages ago. At least one company manufactured the fluidic logic components. It works based on the Bernoulli effect. A flip/flop would be a Y fork with a micro port at right angles on each side of the junction. The water stream would stay on one side of the fork due to the Bernoulli effect. To switch it, you pulsed the port on the side the stream was on and it would switch to the other side.
I seem to remember that one inkjet printer used fluidic logic. It had a constant ink flow that was recycled thru one side of the gate, and when it wanted a ink drop, it would temporarily swith to the other side of the gate which went onto the paper.
Having build and rebuilt umpty ump times about 3 or 4 pc's to optimise hardware and disk configurations, I can say that Serial ATA will really help. You put 4 or 5 ide devices in a pc case and even with rounded ide cables, cable routing is still a hassle.
But serial ATA would not solve all the cabling problems. You still have that absolute spagetti mess of power supply connectors because they put on enough connectors for everything including those extra optional P4 connectors which don't all get used even with P4 motherboards. I'm seriously thinking of modding power supplies, screw the warrently. Just cut off most of the wires, put on generic inline connectors and build custom wiring setups. None of that piggy backing of y connectors connected to serial ATA power connector adapters, etc...
Wait, I should have taken another shot at searching the web. Here has the following quote.
According to a study by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), a single heavy
truck, weighing 80,000 pounds, can do as much damage to roads and bridges as 9,600 passenger cars. Furthermore, the Federal
Highway Administration estimates that a 90,000-pound truck would create two-thirds more wear and tear on the infrastructure
than one weighing 80,000 pounds.

That should work. Send them a DMCA violation notice. That would force them to take it off.

Harry Potter is in it also so it's based on the 5th Harry Potter novel which was also available in China before anywhere else.

What about the poor slashdotted server? I think there's a whole consulting industry built up now for dealing with slashdot victims.
