  1. Re:You Need to Think About the Two Outcomes ... on Cut Down On Nukes To Shave the Deficit · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Reagan did jack and squat the USSR was broke and falling apart no matter what we did. Commies not only kill people, but also can't run an economy for shit. Jimmy Carter lost for lots of reasons, some his fault some not, adults know that.

    We have enough nukes, no one is saying give them up. Just that we don't need to spend this much on them.

    Boomers are boomers. You could use them as a very expensive way to launch cruise missles, but that is about it. The Bombers are useful for traditional ordinance though.

    1.5Mbps DSL? Is this the stoneages? Would netflix work on that?

    25Mbps/25Mbps at my house and thinking about bumping that up.

    Point it there. Means less payload then going to GTO.

    This is rocket science, so it is slightly more complicated than that, but for some value of works, it works.

    If that is what it takes it sounds fine by me. Better than buying a made in Mexico American car brand.

    Not anymore. I just interviewed for a job running Oracle on OEL on some pretty big Sun hardware.

    Solaris is not really being used anymore for that, except legacy installations.

    Way to totally miss the point. The mac apps could support this pretty easily, just as many linux applications look fine in both kde and gnome. Windows is not the place anyone runs X11.

    Damn. I guess you can still buy BSD workstations, which is genetic UNIX even if it is not trademarked as such.

    Changing window managers is not big deal, but it not impacting Mac apps is pretty lame.

    What does that cost?
    Because dell will let our helpdesk folks replace parts and they charge nothing for that. Even 1 mile is too far to hassle with, how long will your employee be gone waiting for that?

    And eInk has terrible refresh times. On a smaller older reader a human could read the page faster than they could refresh. On current eink this is not true, but they all seem to do that terrible flash to black then the text thing.

    Please tell me you are joking. Linux is huge on enterprise servers. Normally there are windows boxes in the server room as well, but linux is very common in the server room. Do you think oracle is uncommon? What do you think those oracle servers are running on?

    Can't you run X and any windowing system you want inside that on a mac? Then it would be very simple.

    Apple does not sell servers. The X-serve was discontinued last year, I think.

    Lack of onsite service and mail ahead parts makes them non-starters for business use. What do you do just keep a bunch of them around as spares?

    If they are company owned this sounds like something helpdesk grunts can handle.

    rsnapshot does that, fire it off with fsniper if you need to it go into action everytime a file is touched. Would be better just using a COW filesystem though. This is not a problem that should be shoved into userspace.

    Look into rsnapshot.

    Discs can be a backup, if they are offsite and spend most of their time powered off. Anything that is online means one person can kill all your copies from one place.
