That's what you pay for on a land line..
Telco's generate their own power at each Central Office.
Around here (Arizona) that is typically a huge rack of batteries (usually enough to run for 24 hours) plus a large CAT diesel generator with a huge gas tank.
Firefly was good due to descent acting and GREAT writing. The firefly producers/writers also seemed to have some sort of coherent plan or idea instead of the randomness of the Enterprise storylines.
Please don't compare the writing from Enterprise and Firefly..
Anyone else musing with the idea that gmail is about more than free webmail to the world? Maybe it is Google's shot at stopping spam...
I know, i must be some google fanboy, but maybe i am.
I'm just thinking that maybe the 'Report Spam' button saves to a central database. Once Gmail becomes very popular Google will have a very up to date list of the current spam and spammers. Essentially farming us Gmail users for spam addresses, IPs', and language patterns.
They can then offfer out the constantly updated database as a (pay) service to anyone else. They seem to do well with sorting large amounts of data for relevance..
You have a "porn buddy" with whom you have swapped keys. Upon your death, your buddy goes into your house and removes all porn and offending content before relatives can see it.
Why not do the same for your data, since most of it is probably porn?
I use both Solaris and Debian at work. My servers are split about 50-50 with more going over to Debian everyday.
What i like about Solaris is that it is bulletproof. There are a couple of 10 year old boxes that i inherited that still run fine!!
On the other hand patches are a pain, and a lot of apps are compiled from source, making updates a real pain to handle.
With Debian, i can update my systems with a few commands and be all patched up.
I would love to see an apt-get for Solaris as Suns package management is a real pain in the ass.
I love the piece of mind knowing i'm patched against the latest software bugs that Debian (or any other linux) can give me. but i love Sun hardware and the uptimes that i have on some system.s
The dvd set just came out for Firefly the cancelled Fox TV show.
It is/was the all round best TV series that i have ever seen with near Movie production quality.
The acting, sets and writing are better than all but one of the movies that i have seen this year. (Lost in Translation)
Yes, yes i'm trolling a little bit here but have you actually sat down and watched an episode? I would reccomend the DVD set, you won't be dissappointed. (until you get to the end)

Check out Pro-Tools by Digi-design.
THE industry standard audio editing.
It just works, no tweaking the OS or other fiddling around.
Wish i could afford it;)
They have been reported as being other types of missles, not Scuds.
I don't recall the name, but their effective range was 90 miles, which is under the UN sanction limit.
Some type of Naval missle russian '60's tech shit.

DUUURRR!!!
Our labs are quite overkill as well, but we run a distributed GRID package on them.
It is open to researchers and students who sign up.
so while you don't need a p4 2.8 to surf the web, the spare cycles are being used. The grid is becoming quite popular.
(EDU gets some nice discounts from vendors as well, so that's another reason labs are frequently upgraded)

Firefly was actually well written and acted...
Enterprise is just horrid.

what's with all of the modding articles lately?
I ain't feeling no hate for SCO or microsoft lately.
Slashdot sure has changed!

Buy one and support their fight against SCO while maintaining your newer car.

How about backing up your information?
