300GB is expensive to store? What year do you live in?
You can get 3TB drives for $115. Building a Raid out of these is cheap and easy. Besides by the time these come out you will be able to likely transcode the video to a better type and save lots of space. As we do now with transcoding dvds to h264.
We already have PS3 games on blu-ray that have to install to the Hard drive to deal with the seek times and supposedly have the same data in multiple places on the disk. This should be even more of that fun.
It does not matter what messages it contains, the writing is awful. It could be the best social commentary ever written, but the writing is still awful.
I am not sure why the writing styles of so many writers that English Lit majors adore are so terrible to read. I think it is some sort of hipsterish bullshit.
I understand the need for history and seeing how the novel as a work evolved, but some of these writers seemed to be trying for Vogon poetry.
If you aren't cheating, you aren't trying. I just wish we would be totally open about it. Since we can probably assume all the runners are at least trying to do something like that, we can just ignore it.
This is like trying to find a winner for the tour de france that was not doping in some form, good luck. That sport is more properly referred to as cheating on two wheels.
I was assuming he would be trying to sneak in behind someone.
I had to chase a verizon guy out once with a rack rail. He walked in after someone else. He later claimed I was going to assault him since I picked up a weapon. My employer stated he could leave or be arrested for trespassing. He was on the wrong floor, somehow conned the front desk to let him in and then followed someone into the server room. I only picked up the rack rail when he refused to leave and made threatening motions to me, he was also a good foot taller and had to be 100lbs heavier than I am.
Actually where I work there is very little tension. The devs do their job, sysadmins do theirs and we all get along. None of them would be so stupid on purpose. They make mistakes like everyone does, but they are not purposefully like that idiot above.
Nokia cuts its own throat and now has no one else to blame. Elop will quietly move back the MS once they are done. Exactly zero people will be surprised.
The devs know me because I am the one on their case for trying to do dumb stuff. Like adding a column with a default value to a table that has billions of records. They of course try to do this during the day. FSM forbid they think about making their code treat null as the default value or that they do it at a later time or test it on the test environment.
How is this a scam against Cisco? They won't let you put smartnet on a used device, so not like they have to support it. This is a scam on Cisco customers, not Cisco.
Smoking was something I gave up at the same time. It just irks me that they trust me so little and expect me to give up so much for generally so little. I will say for enough money everything would be negotiable.
We are in Buffalo NY and it is not too bad finding them, but the pool of decent folks is small enough you quickly get to know a lot of them. I bet if you offered enough and relocation it would not be too hard to find takers.
Nope, the point is it mirrors production. We are surely not letting you screw that up for everyone.
If that machine was yours you would handle maintenance, monitoring, backups and all the networking for it. Good luck with that and remember any unlabeled and unaccounted for cable in the server room will be cut. This includes pulling the power plug and cutting it off as well.
We do pretty much just RHEL. Got rid of the last HPUX machine ages ago.
Why does the company care about it though? Pirating software is a federal crime, I don't see any rules against that in most employee handbooks.
For the record I have not indulged since college, but I still will not take a drug test for a job. You can't inspect my house either. I like my privacy.
No, you are not allowed to do any of that for good reason.
You will fuck over the other apps doing that, since like all devs you won't care if your changes break anything you are not working on. You can ask nicely after proving in the test environments that it does not cause any harm.
RHEL is not UNIX. I am not a UNIX admin, just a Linux one and I can tell you that.
Only 7 years here, but I can tell you about run levels till you fall asleep, write perl mortals can read if they really try, and I don't even know what to say about being afraid of soft links. I would think the new laws in Colorado would make it easy to find sysadmins. Assuming company policy does not remove that huge advantage.
$1-2k per year? What POS are you hosting that on? How are you paying for backups or redundancy? How are you handling maintenance? I don't want to be a dick here, but you sound like a typical developer. They generally have no idea what goes on to keep their crap working.
This is why virtualization exists. For 99% of software it does not need its own hardware and virtualization makes redundancy cheaper, backups easier and life simpler for everyone.

Sure it does, but newsflash people are still writing new works and translating the old. I don't read Dante in the original either.

Welcome to my world. I work for a smallish company and wear a lot of hats.
Why is this a big deal?

Which helps Nokia not one bit.
MS could never make a dime on phones and would be fine, Nokia is not in a good place.

You read the article?
Do you know where you are?
Have him fired. He does not deserve that job.

How about all the ones I have ever met save one?
Not just the ones I worked with.
I think my sample size at this point is not too shabby.

Containers are not new.
Silly devs.
Been there, done that. Won't being doing it again.

This hardware does not support OSS, if you wanted OSS you should have bought hardware that supported it.
By what magic is OSS going to work when drivers are missing and there is no released documentation?

Hey numbnuts, go look at the syslog machine. If you are too stupid to log to syslog properly maybe you should be demoted to trainee developer.
Perhaps you should question your employers hiring practice and maybe look into filing a complaint with the DOL.
There are lots of American sysadmins that can curse at you all day in American English just waiting to fill those jobs.

Sysadmins don't care, that is the helpdesk team's problem.
