The last time I checked, Kali was some sort of VPN to tunnel IPX (NetWare protocol) over IP. It appears to have been popular when Warcraft II was around. Oh well, there are only so many names for things.
Kali/Kahn. Sluggish over a modem, but incredibly fun, and much easier to set up than making Real Life friends with parents that would let them lug the computer around for a LAN party!
Unfortunately these are Western Digital "Green" drives...
I agree. I only buy 5-year warranty drives. Once they've outlived their usefulness to me, I can still re-sell them to someone else with the assurance that the drives have a couple of years left on the manufacturer's warranty.
In other words, once you go WD Black you don't go back.
Does this whole situation affect your choice of file system?
Personally, I would have to say so. This is a very sad story. There is something very morbid about using the work of a murderer.
This doesn't affect my choice in filesystem, nor should it anyone. It doesn't invalidate the work that was done on the filesystem by Mr. Reiser or any other contributor.
That being said, if we were to find out that the murder of Nina somehow benefited the code, then I would find issue with it. If by looking at Nina's splattered blood, Hans was inspired to create a new tree sorting algorithm, then yes, I'd have a problem with that.
Once code has been written, it should stand on its own merits, and be scrutinized only for its own flaws.
Now that I've written this, I'm beginning to reconsider my position on NSA Linux.
Yes, you're right. You've caught me. I admit it, I'm a Karma Whore. I was worried I'd get modded Off Topic because of all the OpenBSD-relevant chatter I cut out to avoid making my post appear as an essay-length diary entry. The truth is, while Linux may have the bells and whistles that often gets me excited, OpenBSD just feels so right. Every time I come across some exciting feature, I wonder "...does it run on OpenBSD?" That doesn't curb my hopes of building an application-transparent cluster with hot node addition/removal without touching a single line of code as the third-to-last step in my plan for world domination. We can always dream.
Besides, I would never miss an opportunity to impress the ladies by talkin' cluster talk.

OpenBSD 3.7 Released
·
· Score: 4, Interesting
Here's the plan:
1. Set up High Availability router with pfsync. (using computers rescued from the trash)
2. Set up a HA Network RAID system using DRBD or something similar. (using more computers rescued from the trash)
3. Build a Kerrighed or OpenSSI Single System Image cluster. (using the latest and greatest computers one can rescue from the trash)
4. ???
5. Profit! (and thus, have enough money to actually buy equipment)
I've already set aside Tuesday evening to upgrade my bandwidth throttling OpenBSD router. I set it up the day before 3.6 came out, so I didn't feel like upgrading until now. I'm tired of the typical hardware failures you tend to get out of computers people throw out (maybe that's why they threw them out in the first place) but mostly I'm looking forward to getting a learning experience hundreds of times more valuable (personally) than getting my MCSE 2003.
Actually DVI doesn't necessarily mean you can use an adapter to get VGA.
I know of three flavours of DVI: DVI-I ("Integrated") has both a Digital and Analog signal. The converter you speak of doesn't really convert anything; except where the pins go. DVI-A ("Analog") is just analog. It's rare, but you usually see these with an HD15 (VGA) connector on one end. DVI-D ("Digital") is just digital.
DVI also comes in single- and dual-link. I've seen some Matrox dualhead cards that just have one dual-link DVI-I connector.
What a coincidence... I'm a Network Support Analyst for a Regional Health Authority (a collective of Hospitals, Personal Care Homes, Community Health Offices, etc.), and one of our server rooms happens to be the old autopsy room, right next to the morgue (which they still use today).
It's quite clean, no strange chemical smells or magnetic fields, but it comes complete with sloped floor with a drain in the middle, exhaust vent, and an extra-large door. Almost everything you'd want for a server room. As an added bonus, there's also direct access to the morgue via a side-door, but for some reason my coworkers choose that area to block with some shelving. *grin* I won't forget the day when I was working in the server room soon after we claimed it when there was some shuffling and banging noises coming from the door to the morgue. Somebody (or something...) from beyond the door tried to push the shelving out of the way! Thankfully, they eventually gave up.
I do completely share your pain that most hospital IT shops are an afterthought, though. Our I.T. Department wasn't even around 10 years ago.
My fisrt MP3 would have to be Million Miles From Home by Dune.
I remember it well... 64kbps, mono, downloaded over a 33.6kbps modem.. Probably within two months of buying our Pentium 133.
I was disappointed it was mono. I had grown used to mods by then. It was very important for music to have a small disk space footprint on a 3.2GB hard drive.

They'll just redefine K, and say that we were referring to Ki all along.
Very true. Sometimes history has to repeat itself. Maybe the self-driving car industry needed a Therac-25 moment. Hopefully it doesn't need another.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I wholeheartedly agree. This is exactly how Geordi got burned when met that alien posing as his mother.
No one wants that to happen to them.

This really reminds me of why I shouldn't consume beverages while reading Slashdot. It was a near-miss.

There has been a free SSH client available for the Blackberry for some time, it's just been hard to find:

Took me a while to find it. A little sluggish & quirky, but it works!
But you are correct, RIM has some serious catching up to do.

There is an excellent command-line GNU tool out there called FileDisk, by Bo Branten.
FileDisk is "a virtual disk driver for Windows NT/2000/XP that uses one or more files to emulate physical disks." ("files", meaning disk images)
His homepage at http://www.acc.umu.se/~bosse/ seems to be down at the moment, or maybe I'm just DOS'ing myself.
I'm sure you can find it somewhere out on the 'net, I did only a week ago.
