Yeah, but you need to ensure that anyone playing with high current DC sources has some respect for the potential hazards - ever seen someone drop a screwdriver between 5V and 0V buses on a 300A distribution system!?
True - and I'm all for it, but the only issue is that you have a single point of failure - lose your big DC power supply and your entire datacentre (or a chunk of it, like a whole rack or four) goes down. Lose one 'PC' switch mode power supply in a cluster and you lose one machine for the duration, not the whole lot.
1) Webcam scans you at origin. 2) Scan data is beamed to destination. 3) Printer at destination makes a copy of you. 4) Frickin' laser on webcam kills original.
Thanks for posting about Unison - I was looking for a way to backup the data on remote workers' PCs and laptops via broadband to a set of regional Linux servers and was contemplating a Bacula solution but it looks like Unison may do the job with a much easier install.
In your experience, do you think Unison would be worth considering?
Frickin' lasers!
Seriously, though, this is a great shame and has also affected servers hosted by the MailScanner Team - there's a news item on the front page of their site about the fire.
My end to the weekend was taking my 5 year-old son and his 5 year-old 'girlfriend' (the 'girl next door') to a farm park to see the animals, play on the inflatable bouncy castles, ride on the boats and generally get some fresh air.
Welcome to the real world.
If you find the main site slashdotted, I have a link to someone hosting all the docs on their own PC - the guy's name is Frank and he works in some government office in Washington DC - you'll find all the docs in a sub-folder just next to the MP3 and porn store managed by someone called ZoM61e Kar1. . . . . . . . Note to NSA and FBI: This is a Joke. Honest.
I disagree - my iPaq syncs with my desktop calendar, mobile phone diary and contacts, can surf the Web using a decent browser (NetFront), fire up a ssh terminal session using PockeTTY for remote support of our Linux servers, run a Terminal Services session (RDP) for remote support of our Windows-based servers, scan for/test Wireless Access Points and als play MP3 and videos.
For me, my PDA is a very useful business support tool with a clear set of purposes.
Well, my Ipaq has a 1GB SD card which is fine for me and my 'regular listening' music - but on the main argument:
Show me an iPod that can also be used to surf the Internet with a decent screen size, run pocketty (an ssh termianal app) and a terminal services session for remote Linux/Windows server support.
We should have the choice to use a friendly installer - super gurus like yourself can obviously cope but for the average, linux-keen Joe (or Joanna) and 'slowly being persuaded' IT Manager, to be confronted with a pile of rpms with no obvious installer is a showstopper and a kick in the teeth for mass Linux adoption.
Providing no simple installer for Linux is stupid, stupid, stupid.
Someone near to where I used to live painted a cartoon character on their garage door and it made the local papers because it was rather neat. Cue the legal letter from the studios and they had to paint it over.
I used to work for a company that made flight and vehicle simulators. The image database designers and developers used to leave various messages a certain altitude below the end of the main airport runways.
One day we had a customer checking out their aircraft sim and after a test flight and perfect landing, they were confronted by a bunch of rather 'crude' (shall we say!) messages between two of the design team because we'd left the altitude interlocks off and they had 'sailed' the aircraft just the right depth below the runway. Fortunately, they saw the funny side of it but there was a hasty flurry of inter-office memos about message content.

Nice to see technology from 'the land of the f[r]ee' being used to help the land of the not-so-free.
Flambe time!
It's getting too hot around here now - I'm going to shift to other 'hobbies' like child molestation or drunk driving as the penalties are lower.
LOL! Wish I had mod points for you!
Have you heard the synthetic wave tables on my Dell laptop!? Welcome to plinky plonky land.
You may be right but I don't care!
12V 3000A - is this for some new, power-hungry Intel Processor where you have several choices of water-cooled heatsink: Atlantic, Pacific, Indian...
I would comment on the news article but it might be classed as a review and me or /. might get sued for patent infringement.

I understood all of the words but the sentence took a little time.

Yeah - Slashux (Sux for short): You install it on a single drive and a day later a duplicate drive mysteriously appears and - hey presto - RAID 1.
The dilemma is that with all those bugs inside one building, is it a technology museum or a natural history museum?
