Technically, you could boot into single user mode. Hell, this was good old IRIX, I doubt it even used shadow passwords. A MO disk boot and boom, a null password for root!
Though a better question is why the hell did it throw the breakers, and where were the localized APC Battery backups? You figure something THAT important would have 3 different backup power systems.
Maybe that's why they went with a radioactive substance with a half life of 138 days? Though, they must have known they would have detected the radiation, not to mention the stuff is radioactive enough to leave traces. Even if it was after a year, I bet someone would wonder why the hell there is a bunch of Palonimom 206 in his body.
I "could" believe the CIA might have a hand in this; I tend to believe more in incompetence than skill. There have been ALOT of political assassinations in Russia of late and I think that Putin, or whoever is pulling his strings, was just overconfident. I have yet to hear of a hostage situation that goes well because of Russian security forces (Beslan or Dubrovka) It doesn't sound like the kind of government that makes sound, rational decisions.
If it wasn't the Russians, its VERY hard for me to think otherwise, it might of been Alexander Litvinenko himself that did it. Maybe he made a mistake with the dosage? Gets sick, finds a radioactive substance that is ONLY made in Russia? He is suddenly upgraded from a dissident to an "enemy of the state" right there.
A more disturbing question however is what are we going to do about it? Even if we did trace it to the reactor to Russia, what do we do? Europe is stuck by being reliant on Russia for their gas supplies. US has more issues with Iraq and Iran to worry about it. Not to mention being a veto power in the security consol, where do you think demands of an investigation are going to lead to?
Russia could just come out and say they killed the guy, but with the power they pushed on the Ukraine on energy supplies, the Russians have much more leverage.
That sums it up right there. I work as a service provider for Dell, btw. But I have worked on IBM as well.
I will say, without a doubt, IBM has (or had, don't know after the buy out) the BEST online manuals for replacing parts that any laptop. With Dell, I have to go to the DCSE page and log in to get any documents, its all open with IBM.
That being said, many MANY of Dell's parts can be interchanged between different brands of there laptop. Consequently, it makes the parts cheap to pick off ebay when the warranty expires.
It's why I get Dell, even if it is a bit pricy. The warranty is worth it and after it expires, parts can be had cheap of ebay.
Production on one of Fox Atomic's first films -- a remake of the 1984 cult classic "Revenge of the Nerds" -- has been shut down after Emory University in Atlanta, where more than a third of the film was to be shot, backed out of its agreement to allow Fox to film on campus. It's believed that Emory officials ultimately balked at the raunchy nature of the project.
Fox was alerted to the issue four days before the shoot was planned to start on Oct. 9. After attempting to shoot at other colleges in Atlanta, the decision was made to call it quits and figure out a new plan.
Production is now officially on hiatus, with the clock ticking, considering that winter (and snow) is approaching, and much of the film is set outdoors in autumn, back-to-school weather.
A Fox Atomic rep said that Fox was still hoping to release the film in August and that all of the cast and crew -- presently being flown back from Atlanta -- remain intact.
"Revenge of the Nerds" is planned as one of the debut releases for newly launched Fox Atomic, Fox's teen-oriented genre label. The label's first release is "Turistas," which bows Dec. 1, followed by "The Hills Have Eyes 2" on March 2 and "28 Weeks Later," which unspools May 11.
Also in production at Fox Atomic is the comedy "The Comebacks." Quick Google Source Here
Sounds like they didn't want to make a winter movie. The REAL question though is if they are going for next August, how good is this movie really going to be? They have to change colleges and set up completely somewhere else and if they are waiting for after winter, that's only a few months of shooting
Odd about this production company. They are making two sequels to moderately decent movies (The hills have Eyes" and "28 Weeks Later" and their first movie "Turistas" is coming/out now (ref: here) Are they just rolling the dice to see what movies stick?
1> A+ (Mandatory for ANY tech job)
2> Dell Desktop + Laptop Foundation (Can't work on warranty dell parts without it)
3> Dell ESF1 (Same for the servers)
4> Working on CNNA
5> Want Dell ESF2 (also EMC cert)
The EMC cert is where tech money is at. Because of the requirements needed for it, you can get hired at any data center shop if you got it.
Someone broke in my home, stole my laptop, TV and an 80 pound safe. It was painful to see my AIM messagener come up saying someone just logged on under my account. All I could do is just change the passwords.
Few days latter, it looked like they got my checking account out of my safe and used it to pay the electric bill. Close to 800 bucks. I got the money back from the bank, but the cops did nothing with it.
People wonder why apathy and cynicism is chronic in our society.
Yea, its why I asked about it:P Biggest drive I have seen is a 300gb 10k RPM SAS drive. But havn't seen a drive bigger than that for SCSI or SAS.
I deal with alot of Enterprise hard drives and its intresting to note that if you put a 300gb U320 Segate and a 300gb SAS Segate, they look exactly the same except for the interface.
Will there ever be an upper limit to hard drives? I know we just started using perpendicular technology, but there must be some kind of physical limit to the platters.
Another question is why is it hard to find SCSI drives in these high capacities? Or at least in newer SAS drives.
I doubt this is going to be true. The development of multithreaded applications is starting to get more common with the duel cores now. Why is it so hard to believe in a few years software will be dropping more than 4 or even 8 threads at a time, games or otherwise?
Heck, even opening a thread/memory space per website could prevent the entire thing bombing because of a bad site.
I would suggest, with that kind of load, something that has great Visualization software. I work at allot of different data centers and I can tell the ones that are organized are the ones where you can just glance at a screen to tell what's up and what's down. To find a computer by just typing its host name and it telling you exactly where the port is and where the current routes are.
Even with the setup headaches, its all a one time deal with just a little maintance every time you change out a switch. Even then, with good config backups that downtime is eliminated.
Not sure that's even an option. I don't think most commercial wireless AP's handle more than 15-20 people at once without a slowdown, and even if you stager to fill all 15 channels, the wireless traffic will just drive everything to a crawl. It also doesn't help if everyone is using WPA2, I don't know of many reviews on how well an AP can handle the encryption traffic.
You missunderstand the poster. He said he wanted each drive "box" as a RAID0, but all the "boxs" in one big SAN RAID0 array. If you lose a single drive in one of those boxes, you have to replace the entire box. (or the drive, still the whole thing gets rebuilt).
While, I understand "why" you would do that, FC is VERY fast and should rebuild fast, its still kind of silly to do it that way.
I want to say its the BEST GPS I have ever used...
But its also the WORST one. God. The maps in that thing are ALTEAST 8 years old. Major interstates are not on it in Dallas. The only hope for TOMTOM is that the rider dosn't use the same maping company that the normal TOMTOM's run. But I am not going to use it till I know.
Bleh, just rather buy the $99 map update for my Magellian 700. Why bother blowing money on something with bad databases.
Its going to be an "eh" movie. I mean look at it, just watching the trailer it looks like no one cares about acting in it.
God, at the very least they could of used teleporters for the excuse everything is going to hell. That whole "something in the water" story is getting old.

I hadn't thought of that. Hummm.
Though, even if there was a contract, I doubt they want to sue over it. If they did, it might hurt their chances at other colleges.
IF this thing gets of the ground.

You forgot one.
3. They are waiting for the film crew of the History Channel to finish recording.
PS - Why the hell were you modded "funny"?
Stupidity IS more abundant than hydrogen after all...

Sorry its FONE Bleh. Still wonder why no one ever maintained it
The MIT Website has taken it down, but I remember it working somewhat well between two IP address.
Was it just too far ahead of its time?
Its going to be an "eh" movie. I mean look at it, just watching the trailer it looks like no one cares about acting in it.
God, at the very least they could of used teleporters for the excuse everything is going to hell. That whole "something in the water" story is getting old.
Seriously, who REALLY uses the V-chip on the TV. That one was free too.
Now they are talking about software?
It strikes me funny, that you have to buy something to limit the games that you buy.
You could just STOP buying Doom3 for your kids.
They just went live too. Seriously, now that there is a place to go, they want eveyone to go THERE and pay instead of somewhere else. All for money:P
Not that the trademark isn't a valid issue, just posably the reason for doing it now, instead of then.
Already slashdotted, and its not even the first Post yet.
Any reviews so far?
