We have Cogent Communications at work, and therefore we have 100 mbps over fiber. Glad to avoid the ILEC, makes for a more reliable Internet. The higher bandwidth means more can be done simultaneously; so more users feel that the connection is working fast for them.
I believe the reason that LT discontinued the odd-even numbering was that the "development" kernels were under-tested and provided insufficient grounds for migrating the tree from development to stable.
Are you aware that the LKM team puts out a stable subversion of each release? I.E. 2.6.11 is released, then 2.6.11.1, 2.6.11.2, 2.6.11.3, etc?
As an IT manager, I receive these types of offers on a weekly basis. When I do, I request an e-mail so I can track who sent the request and then add them to my list of suspects.
Any request to scan or security test my network is immediately perceived to be hostile. It's called social engineering and it is one of the most effective security attacks. It's not a good opening line.
If you want my security business, first you need to win my trust with non security work.
Deathstar has nothing on these people, if you can call them people anymore... Zombies probably covers it better, what with their pickled brains and all.
They aren't people, they are clones... probably grown on weyland, no less.

I always wanted a way to broadcast silence at a car that is driving by blaring music. Even if I like it, I wish I could turn down the volume level so I can continue my conversation, nap or whatever that was interrupted by the individual's music choice and volume.
I had imagined an FM transmitter that works on all channels to overwhelm the receiver in the car. Of course, that wouldn't help if they are playing a CD.
It contains security updates. Even though it has a weird version number, it is actually an upgrade. I find it also is a performance boost for my hardware vs the generic bf2.4 compile.
Are any of the Star Wars books worthy of film adaptation? Were the initial movies (Episodes 4-6) adapted from books, or were the books derived from the movies?
This is intentional. When the iPod came out, the main HD-based player was the Nomad, which suffered from horrible performance. This was because the songs were just stored as files with no database. The reason the iPod can search through many thousands of songs instantaneously is because of its song database, which iTunes creates (you actually don't need iTunes for this--any program can read/write the iPod database).
I prefer my iRiver iHP-40 interface, which lets me add songs through any interface (command line, gui, linux, windows (I assume mac)). Later, I can update the database from a machine with their management software installed.
If I want to add songs from another machine, I can do it without having to load iTunes or any other software.
Ok, I'll buy that not all grammar is about user expectations of what sounds right, but a lot is.
In the example you site, most people are over compensating for years of correction. They have been told not to start a sentence with the word me, so they assume (even if it sounds wrong to them) that "mike and me" is incorrect at either end of the sentence.
I maintain that the abbreviation of the proper name changes the way articles and possessives are used in a sentence.
I think that in the phrase
"The UCLA website"
The "The" refers to the website, not to the university. UCLA becomes a descriptor (not sure if it is an adjective) of the noun.
In your example, I believe the "The" refers to the University, not to the website.
Again, I'm still open to discussion. I think I'm even open to saying that both are correct (contrary to the original poster's opinion) in the absence of an Elements of Style reference.
Abbreviating it to UCLA doesn't change the grammar
I'm not sure I agree, but I'm open to discussing your opinion. I think the abbreviation does make a difference.
When I write, "I went to the UCLA," it sounds worse then when I write, "I went to UCLA." I think the "the" should be omitted.
When writing "I went to University of California at Los Angeles," it sounds worse than "I went to the University of California at Los Angeles." In the non-abbreviated form, the "the" should appear.
As I said, I'm open to discussing your view, but I'm not sure I agree with it.
There is a company that is providing this kind of service... I think it is called Akamai. You sign up for their hosting and they basically fight of the zombies for you.
I'd love to know more about the compact electronic high-frequency power supplies. When I googled for the phrase, I received information not specific to residential lighting applications.
1) Maintaining the organization of said backups is not trivial.
2) Having the data means that one must produce it when required by law... not a trivial task to restore and cull through that level of detail.
3) Most people who don't maintain even small backups, don't understand the annoyance, complexity, difficulty and cost.
Two other points:
Older data requires older media... remember that writable DVDs is relatively recent. I've got backups on 4 mm DAT. Quantum has discontinued d8000 QIT drives and that means my 40 gig DLT-4 tapes will be hard to restore in a few years.
Maintaining good backups means maintaining duplicates... 20 mb (or a few gig) of user data grows geometrically when stored as backups.
You're storing 20 mb in your 10 year history of e-mail? I get five times that much in less than a month in only one of the five accounts I maintain. I work for a small company with reasonable amounts of broadcast e-mail (i.e. not a lot).
I haven't even discussed maintaining the SEMANTICS (ie, backup X goes with system Y and held Z kind of data, etc).
