    Why would any ISP go that route? Since it has only negative impact on the bottom line (time developing algorithm, more complex link monitoring, no added income).

    * the UTM apparently does attack detection before filtering, so that didn't stop the alerts

    I fail to see how "Problem solved" applies here.

  9. Re: Wow. on Rocket Scientist Designs "Flare" Pot That Cooks Food 40% Faster · · Score: 1

    Because people tend to stir in pots, leaving small scratches in the coating. You also use a LOT more heat under a pot (especially using propane), than putting stuf in an oven, letting things burn to the surface.
    Pots are used where there's a risk of boiling over... Lot of surface/ridges for cleaning up burnt (since flames are licking up the side) milk/cream. Ever tried to clean that on an "easy clean" surface...

    And don't you just love how:

    > Don't dictate what your developers use, if it's possible.

    Which reminds me... At the company I (still) work for, there has always been a relaxed atmospear regarding dev environment. Vi(m), (x)emacs, eclipse aso. But we had a standardization company come around once a year. And they kept telling us that we really should select one environment. That repeated for a couple of years, until a collegue (has now moved om to greener pastures) asked him, if he had ever tried to tell a carpenter "only one hammer"? That shut him up for a while.
    Now the company has given up on the "standards body", since it was a hassle, and gave absolutely nothing back. The only good "financial optimization" they've done.

    > but I've never seen the logic why regular people, ... would ever want to be in debt.

    <sarcasm>Neither do I, and why does they need an education, can't they just live in a cardboard box</sarcasm>

    Where I live (Denmark@Europe), even though the education is free (as in: pay it later with income taxes), the housing and materials aren't, which means either people spend a long (sometimes very long) time completing an education, since they have to have a job simultaneously or they end up with considerable dept to match their university degree.

    And if you want a place to raise a family, you want to buy a place, since the rent will usually be greater in a couple of years for a given size apartment/house than the mortgage payments for buying a similar residence (actually the type of home I have the mortgage payments were actually less than the rent I would be playing from day one).

    While I'm not a fan of debt, I do have some I could have chosen not to have, but at the end of the day, I would have less cash left in my pocket.

  22. Re:What happened? on Data Recovery from ReiserFS RAID Array? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    At the company i work at, we had a scheduled power outage (cable checking in the ground outside the building, and possible replacement). As a result we went to a minimum of running systems. No need to drain the diesel level that fast :-), so we powered of the systems that weren't needed through the night.

    Next morning we powered everything up, and on all systems where the disks were more than 2.5 years (and the disks had been running for all that time), we lost about 20-25% of the disks. We've been told that it was due to the fact that the disks actually went cold, and the reheating broke the disk platters. On most of the disks you could hear within 2 hours of power up the heads grinding against the platters, since the platters were wobbleing.

    As a result more than one system had multiple disk failures, but the backup was good so no problem (except for the deliverytime of 4 hours on the disks).

    That is because the GPS system does not correct for leap-seconds, but as long as all GSP satelites have exactly the same time, it doesn't matter what it is. You can still calculate your position from it.
