  1. And how is this different? on Lenovo to Sell Blade Desktops · · Score: 0

    How is this different from existing thin client setups, i.e. Sun Ray's? I realize that this uses blade servers as opposed to regular machines, but still.

  2. What about RFC 1834 on Private .US Registrations Disallowed by NTIA · · Score: 1

    What about the RFC's, it says you have to have the correct info in whois. I realize that in today's world, RFC's have come to not mean a whole lot, but I do try to follow them as much as possible.

  3. My Setup on SATA RAID Enclosure w/ Temperature Monitoring? · · Score: 1

    I am running a Promise Fast Trak 100 Tx2 Pro, it included the RAID 0/1/JBOD Card, and 2 SuperSwap 1000 enclosures. The card is PATA, and the superswap enclosures will allow you to hot swap the drives. Link to Card

    I also have the RAID on the motherboard, but it does not support hot swap.

    Running FreeBSD, I have Samba, NFS, and Appletalk, BIND9, Apache (for some testing), Postfix (for relaying the mail), and other goodies.

  4. Interesting error from the verizon page. on Verizon Taking FTTP Installation Orders · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Server Error in '/FiosForHome' Application.

    Runtime Error
    Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

    Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

    <!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

    <configuration>
    <system.web>
    <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
    </configuration>

    Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

    <!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

    <configuration>
    <system.web>
    <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>
    </configuration>

  5. Depends on the type of machine on Text Based User Interfaces in the 21st Century? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    On my SPARC's and on my Mac running OpenBSD, I have found that the GUI is faster since the frame buffer has limited RAM, and therefor runs pretty slow at times. I have to agree that some GUI's are resource hogs, but with a small window manager on X, its just fine.

  6. Viacom is disrupting my TV on Echostar/Dish Network Pulls Viacom Channels · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I have Charter Cable, and viacom is running ads stating the obivous, that EchoStar/Dish Network is not meeting demands, and airing it on all providers.

    This whole situation does not affect me, why bother me?

  7. Security, what about the CA they use on MS Security Chief: Windows Never Exploited Until Patch Available · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you look at the SSL Certs they use, MS signs them themselves. When did MS become a signing authority? CN www.microsoft.com O Microsoft OU mscom Issued By CN Microsoft Secure Sever Authority O OU Issued On 3/37/03 Expires On 3/26/04

  8. Swap out the platters on Resurrecting Dead Harddrives? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have seen some people take the platters out of a bad drive and put them in another HD. It works, but you have to be extremly careful, as not to scratch the platters.

  9. Re:I attempted it on Homegrown Wireless Media Servers? · · Score: 1

    The client is a P75, the server is a PII 400. The server runs just fine, doing file, print, internal DNS, internal Database, and sharing the MP3's. But on the client, I get high loads because its just not fast enough.

  10. I attempted it on Homegrown Wireless Media Servers? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I up an old P-75 with FreeBSD, using Slim Server from Slim Devices, using mpg123 and mp3lbaster to play the songs. I had a LCD screen to display the Song Title, Artist, and Album. It worked ok, but it needs to be a bigger machine.

  11. Re:Gates versus Europe - Round 1? on EU Rejects Microsoft Settlement Proposal · · Score: 1

    For the common user, ie my parents, having to customize the installation can be a pain. Many people just want it to work, which is what I believe Microsoft is trying to do, they are delivering a product that just works out of the box, the default install, with the additions of Anti-Virus software, and a good firewall is good enough for most people. Now on the other hand, I think that they should have a better customization, in which you can choose what applications you want. Look at the Solaris installs, you customize to your hearts desire, and you get exactly what you want, and it just works.

  12. My experience on What Extras Should I Buy When Buying a Laptop? · · Score: 1

    I have a 15" PowerBook, and when I am in class, I can always use another battery. Having an 802.11b/g card is always helpful. For a bag, look at Brenthaven .

  13. Sun Rays on Large Scale Management - Linux vs Solaris? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    My college uses 64 Sun Ray's attached to a E450. It works flawlessly. They system is able to handle the loads just fine. Haveing a Sun Ray environment enables them to have a central point in which they can upgrade and patch rather than having numerous machines in which to admin.

  14. Additional Material on Extra-Curricular Resources for Students? · · Score: 4, Informative

    At the college I go to school, North Lake College in Irving, TX, the head of our UNIX department made this site: http://snap.nlc.dcccd.edu which is material and courses for UNIX. My college has a UNIX Systems Administration degree, and this is the site in which all of the material that we use is posted. I am also looking for projects/ learning experiances to further my education.

  15. Re:Pushing Pop Music? on Universities Mull Official Role In Music Distribution · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I have to agree with this, if Universities are only going to provide certain genres of music, the I will not pay for that service. It follows the same lines that if I buy a computer, I will not pay for a preinstall OS. To many people are trying to make decisions for the rest of the world. It just does not work that way.
