One thing I didn't mention is that our (new) mail system is the Zimbra Network edition running on RHEL (which is available on OS X.)
I think you mean your RHEL is available for Apple hardware. Given that OS X is an operating system, it's unlikely you're running RHEL on top of OS X unless you're doing some funky emulation in which case I'd be curious to know more.
Remind me to sue my neighbours for their house being #41. People are always knocking on my door (#41a) instead, wasting my time and causing a loss of earnings.
A more accurate analogy would be that you moved in first and called your address "Forty 1" whereas they moved in later and called their address "Forty Won", a homonym of yours. Given their widespread popularity, when people go to visit "Forty Won" they mistakenly think it's "Forty 1" and beat down your door.
Check out the first frame of that video. It's captioned "Employees evacuated after explosion at PayPal" and shows what looks to be a Borg-like figure. I'm sure the PayPal collective has gone into regeneration mode and should be back at full strength in no time.
Your comment is not very useful for me, so I'm replying just to let you know that it's not useful. Your reply was a specialized comment for an extremely small minority of readers. What a waste.
We use CARP, pfsync, and ifstated to have two redundant firewalls on two redundant net connections, with state tables all synced up and everything (if the connection goes down we have to get new state because the external IP changes, but for one of the machines/switches/net cards dying, it's totally seamless).
Out of curiosity, how are you implementing failover with different external IP addresses? Or is this for outbound connections only, such as internet enabling an office?
I happen to work for Oracle, so any other database is not an option.
Well, I suppose you could just keep on complaining about how OpenBSD doesn't run Oracle or you could ring up good old Larry and get him to start supporting it. Either way, complaining about how it's not useful for your purposes is about as useful as someone complaining that they can't haul around two tons of construction equipment in a Prius. Right tool for the right job and all that. This isn't your tool.
Probably, but this technique would work on Mac or Linux, too. Actually, the Linux crowd might be a little skeptical of an "installer"... what the hell is that??? You mean make install?
Good point. And how many Linux users download some source code and run sudo make install without any code review first?
Awesome example. However, I suspect some Chinese official would come back with a response of how Google wishes to promote only peaceful images of Tiananmen Square and they had nothing to do with the image results of an American-based company.
If you want good applicants, you must advertise where people can find you! To start with, you must advertise in your local paper.
Seriously, a physical hardcopy newspaper?? As if highly qualified developers are sitting at home in their boxers reading the classified section skimming over the $8/hr burger flipping and retail sales jobs to find highly relevant job postings!
It just goes to show how bloody expensive the US phone market is. For my £30/mo contract ($56) I can spend up to £90 of allowance ($170) on either texts, or calls to any UK landline or mobile. I don't pay a penny if people call me, whether I have allowance left or not.
For the equivalent of £21/month, I get unlimited incoming and outgoing local calls any time of the day, any day of the week. I can combine this with various long distance alternatives -- dial a local number first, pay 3.5 cents per minute for any calls in North America and 5 cents a minute to most of the modern world. It's quite effective... dial a local number first, get a dial tone, dial your long distance number. If you split your long distance calls 50/50 in North America and International dialing, that's an average 4.25 cents a minute which works out to 450 minutes of world-wide long distance for an extra £9/month. So I've met your £30/month deal and got a hell of a lot more from it.
The music pirate steals from the rich and gives to the poor. The GPL violator steals from the poor and sells to the rich. Do you really see no difference?
I think I see. If I copy music from a struggling local musician, it's good. But if I create derivative works from software copyrighted by a $4 Billion publicly traded corporation such as Red Hat and I don't release the source, it's bad. Uh, what's your point again?
But on that drive have a file named "corrupted.doc" or something like that. It is really a Truecrypt file/drive. You mount it manually when you log in and all your important stuff is in there.
Or a hidden file named pagefile.sys. "Gee, must be some kind of system file or something, officer."
You said almost precisely this comment the day IE 7 came out. I remember laughing at your crying.
Indeed, AC is right. Can you get a -1, Redundant for duping your own comment from a week ago?

I'm kind of confused. I was expecting a story about strange artificial intelligence. However, perhaps this discussion about artists and humor can digress into the merits of a font which can distinguish between lowercase "L" and uppercase "i".

Everyone knows that pulling out is unsafe. That's why you're supposed to use condoms instead.
There were several other jokes in this discussion that one or two people may not get. Can you explain those as well? Thanks!
Were eBay affected by this? I've just got an email from them now . . .
Yes, they were. Fortunately, a gentleman in Nigeria wishes to return eBay's money and needs your help.
64,000 GB ought to be enough for anyone?

Sounds like your plan is bloody expensive.
Oh, he's thinking - about how scoring a cheap point by making himself look 'tough' on people percievable as wrongdoers
Since when did Slashdot start bolding spelling mistakes?

When the cake was opened, the Firefox team found it was not quiet finished and full of bugs.
Indeed. The icing is the shrinkwrap license. Underneath it's actually quite bland.
Most controversial stories get tagged either "food" or "notfood".
First post. Mod minus one redundant.
But on that drive have a file named "corrupted.doc" or
something like that. It is really a Truecrypt file/drive.
You mount it manually when you log in and all your important
stuff is in there.
Or a hidden file named pagefile.sys. "Gee, must be some kind of system file or something, officer."

Since then, I have been a sucker for every upgrade -- 95, 98, NT 4.0, 2000, XP...
He at least had the good sense to skip Windows ME.
Did anyone else read that as "David Brin's Lamenet" and wonder what kind of lame-ass peer to peer network this was?
So I guess they're not still flaunting Oracle as being unbreakable?
