I can recommend this config - I run 4 x 250GB SATA WD's on 2 x Adaptec 2 chan controllers (2 x 2 disc RAID1 - the 4 chan controller is too expensive). The discs are in a 4 slot hot swap enclosure and I have a separate machine with another 3 250's to serve as backup off the main machine. Massive waste of space but I feel really safe (at least when I am not thinking about fire/theft/etc...)
I have a few DL360 Proliants running Gentoo 2.4.24. The first was a bit of a struggle to get up and running (compaq scsi etc...) but the others have simply been able to use the configurations and precompiled binaries from the first. New servers deploy alarmingly fast these days, much faster that ghosting windows boxes or [gasp] installing the long way with a seemingly endless succession of reboots...
Traditionally the free market has made money out of the infrastructure by eliminating excess capacity and cutting back on "excessive" maintenance. All comes apart when that excess is needed due to a failure elsewhere in in the grid...
Nothing funny about that, I'm in exactly the same boat. For some reason management has the idea that a system that lasts for 15 years without upgrades is a *GOOD* thing...
No nation has a clean past (or even a clean present for that matter).
Their power waxes and wanes as does the popularity of any given political and ideological system. Many go quietly (British Empire for example), but many don't (like the Romans). The question left to us is whether the American Empire is going to realise it's time has past and make way for the new contenders or whether they'll contest and drag the world down in a fit of childish spite.
Indeed you could expand that to almost any argument raised for or against any advancement whatsoever. You could even say that people who seek education are unfairly selecting against those who do not have the inclination to better themselves. As the argument rages we'll find the justifications for what is allowed/natural v's what is not/unnatural will become more and more surreal...
we respect our freedoms, we have no problem with supporting governments who have no respect for the freedoms of their own people, that is the problem - the double standard...
Off the cuff I haven't found any large scale db of the type you are looking for, everything I have seen is limited to player compatibility with the types of media rather than the specific brands.
It gets even more complicated when you realise that I have 2 different brands of DVD+R/RW burners and the disks they burn are not the same even when using the same media. I have a Sony S7700 that plays datawrite media when burned in a ricoh burner but has problems when burnt in the other (aopen I think). Disks burnt by either play fine in some other players but I've seen a lot of anoying inconsistencies..
What you really need is a list that cross references burner to media to player - potentially a vast number of possibilities.
The only reliable tactic I have found is "try it and see..."
The advantage is that security code does not have to be maintained in each class independantly
This is precisely what I use AOP for. Whilst there is tremendous opportunity for spaghetti coding, so long as you adhere to some reasonable standard of layout and documentation it works out much more maintainable for certain design patterns.
whilst the RAM and NICs will not be overly expensive the real cost will be in the 12 port gig switcher. Doing some large scale networking recently I've had occasion to handle a few from a couple of suppliers and the decision we had to make came down to whether we really wanted gig or could live with 100m and 3 or 4 extra servers.
All things being equal I'd put the value of the switch higher than the entire setup as it presently exists...
Have to be worried about sensitivity to damage - your average CD is reasonably resilient to scratches (provided they're small and your EC is good) but once you start really pushing the data densities a spec of dust could occlude gigabits. May have to bring back caddies - new hermetically sealed vacuum caddies...
Becomes sorta like a hot potato, gotta pass it on before you get arrested for something in it's history...
Interesting point that by the DPA in the UK you are absolutely responsible for any data found on your PC drives (regardless of new or 2nd hand status) so technically when you buy a 2nd hand drive from a company (inc insecurely erased data) you may actually be legally purchasing that data...
you should give marvel a chance, some of the storylines (ignoring the whole superpowered thing) can be quite interesting from a sociological pov and have quite a bit of relevance in the world today. That said that goes equally for a lot of areas of fiction...
Your point is a good one (though one that is frequently made and almost as frequently misquoted) and pretty much inapplicable as people just don't see the world that way - both good and evil are abstracts that only have context against eachother and the line that divides appears to be based on personal perspective...
You could just as easily say that "letting someone walk down the street unmonitored" is as bad as "letting a terrorist walk down the street unmonitored". All that differs are the possible consequences, that and the fact that the government really can't tell the difference between the two...
Many asian countries refuse to recognise copyright or IP rights in the same way the US did until about '54. Some even have regulations restricting flow of capital to foreign powers (a common way to avoid paying royalties to IP owners that don't keep an office and certain % of their company in the local country) which I think is perfectly responsible practice for nations not wanting to be taken advantage of too much by larger ones...
So I don't really see why they would be any more fazed by the DMCA than the WTO provisions already ignored (or creatively sidestepped) especially when the laws are not even in effect there.
I don't think the basics of x86 are covered by IP restrictions anyway so it's all beside the point really...
Grey Area is a better choice - you can even keep the nickname "Meatfucker", sure anyone who has used a computer in the last 10 years can relate to that one...
the entries would have to be kept with a trusted 3rd party as there is no such system that guarantees the data will not be changed. I guess it could be sort of like security certificate companies, holding the data in trust for everyone and their sole duty is to ensure that it is correct.
As far as I am concerned - nothing you manage locally or hold entirely on your own hardware would be acceptable, you cannot provide a strong enough guarantee of the integrity.

Agreed, even though I am quite taken with AOP (though it has taken some time to really come up with real world applications for the theory).
In the end, however, it is still limited by the ability of the programmers who are using it - as is OOD/OOP and indeed any programming style at all...

"oragami" is the last word I was expecting in that particular context (not that I'm knocking it, I can just think of a few better...)
can still remember the text almost word for word.
That, more than anything else, completely screwed all my experiences with the early VR setups in the 90's. My expectations were too high...

oh yeah - damnit - forgot Farscape too! fscking fox...
