  1. Re:anti-automation on Automation in the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    True, but often times the assignment of 'keep this running' is viewed very differently from the script that runs out of cron that 'keeps this running'.

  2. Re:anti-automation on Automation in the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    There may also be some concern about 'code' that hasn't undergone rigorous testing and kitting, not to mention any concerns about an auditor highlighting that as a SOX violation.

  3. Re:PHP on Security Fears Over Google Accelerator · · Score: 1

    Those are usually implemented in the form of a cookie.

  4. Re:No......sorry on Has the Data Security Problem Become an Epidemic? · · Score: 1

    Maybe you can't remember 100 PINs, but to mess with their credit you'd only need to remember *theirs*.

  5. Re:Ogre3d on Engine for Collaborative Science Education MMOG? · · Score: 1

    Also, someone has developed Python bindings for Ogre3d (PyOgre).

  6. Re:I may be a bit late to the party here - on Maui X-Stream at it Again? · · Score: 1

    Well, I was just addressing the statement that anyone can demand full source to a program that is GPL licensed, even if that program hasn't been distributed.

  8. Re:Is it really necessary? on Education Qualifications for a Network Admin? · · Score: 1

    "Familiar with ABC and XYZ" could be put on a resume, and might trigger hits on keyword searches as well.

  9. Bad argument on The SCO Trial Through A New Lens · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The author uses some fallacies of his own. He shows how Linux said "you've got X,y,Z, and that is UNIX" and then goes on to say that the Linux community says "Linux is not UNIX". He's keying off two different usages of the term UNIX, which isn't a valid point.

  10. Re:TA Reminiscing on Total Annihilation Remake Released · · Score: 1

    The Core Contingency pack had a Buzzsaw and a Vulcan. Getting one of those was pretty much 'You Win'.

  11. Middle of the day on Total Annihilation Remake Released · · Score: 3, Funny

    Why couldn't the editors wait for the evening hours; now I have to wait until quitting time to play!

  12. Re:A suggestion maybe on Will America's Favorite Technology Go Dark? · · Score: 2, Informative

    The phones can in many cases be switched over, but that feature has been locked by the provider that sold you the phone.

  13. HPUX on Microsoft Sued Over TCP/IP offload technology · · Score: 2, Informative

    I seem to recall hearing that the old HPUX machines had a sort of smart-NIC; the machine could be completely crashed and yet ping still worked.

  14. Re:Thats what I use gmail for on E-mail As the New Database · · Score: 1

    I'll bet that your work has policies prohibiting that.

  15. Re:IPv6 isn't a big deal on Grand Challenges in Networks for the Next 15 Years · · Score: 1

    One of the purposes of the huge address space is to divide it up so that there won't be such a glut of small class-C's that have to be kept in the routing tables, instead it'll be much more aggregateable.

  16. Re:Balderdash, Codswallop, etc. etc. on Does Adblock Violate A Social Contract? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a case for bittorrent.

  17. Re:I'm using md, aka Linux Software Raid on What Kind Of Software RAID Are You Running? · · Score: 1

    Don't ignore it, be sure to run mdadm in monitor mode to tell you when something fails.

  18. Re:Obvious Question on Work Samples and the Non-Disclosure Agreement? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They probably tied the severance package into it somehow.

  19. Re:Well... on BitTorrent Inherently Illegal? · · Score: 1

    Game related material might not impress the network admins (despire the legality of it), but a Linux ISO or programming environment might make for a better case. Anything education related would make for a better case.

  20. Re:Why? on Network Monitoring and Alerting? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If the monitoring server goes down then no pages will go out. In thise case the poster may have meant 'redundant servers' instead of a true cluster. One can configure a Nagios environment such that two systems check on each other, and if the primary Nagios instance goes down the secondary Nagios instance will take over monitoring and alerting.

  21. Re:Addendum : on Arkeia Network Backup Agent Remote Access · · Score: 1

    No tape backup sysem will be able to protect you from losing the last 10 minutes of data. You'd need a RAID or replicated filesystem for that.

  22. price of cheese on Gates tried to Blackmail Danish Government · · Score: 1

    I seem to recall some novel set in the future where there existing a small set of mega-corps. The government couldn't do anything to them because 'they might raise the price of cheese 5 cents and crater the economy'.

  23. Re:Sounds like... on Linux-Based Cat Feeder · · Score: 5, Funny
    Or from another TV series:

  24. Re:Active MQ on Open Source Message Queuing System · · Score: 2, Informative

    XMLBlaster might be a viable alternative. It is written in java but interfaces with corba, xml-rpc and a socket protocol.
