The only people writing it off are people who have never had to maintain real production environments where downtime is money. I trust Solaris far more under load than Linux.
ext3 has a 4TB partition size limitation, 1TB filesize limit, and requires a fsck every X mounts.
Those are all very real limits. A >4TB raid isn't unreasonable these days, 1TB filesize is plausible (if for whatever reason you wanted to run Xen using file backed storage for guests instead of LVM)... and running a fsck on a huge disk just sucks.
So yeah, maybe not compelling for you, but compelling for a lot of us, myself included. That's why I'm burning a copy right now to check out.
The answer is given to you in the question in a multiple choice test. One of the choices has to be the correct one, which means you can trivially bruteforce it.
You can make a pretty good guess at interconnect based on the cost (if it's there, I don't care enough to read the article)... remember to add a factor of 2 or 3 to the price to account for the edu discount...
And? All that shows is that he's making poorer decisions with what to do with his time than he did X years ago. It says nothing about the quality of slashdot stories, which I agree has gone downhill.
I agree with most of his points. I don't care about the new layout, but everything else happens frequently. I guess it's just nitpicking, maybe if they didn't call themselves editors I'd cut them more slack on the dupes, advertisements, bad summaries and spelling/grammar/factual errors.
I seem to recall there being other issues with using XvMC as well, although for the life of me I can't remember what they are now... but why would you? Almost anything can decode MPEG2 at DVD res/bitrate with no real problem, and you could spec out an ultra-low-power media box for that without any difficulty.
HD content is an entirely different beast, right now you need a high-powered dual core CPU (as a minimum) to decode 1080p content even at low-ish bitrates. My AMD64 3200+ only does 720p with a bit of room to spare, and at relatively low bitrate. A hardware assist would be *much* appreciated.
... but hey NVIDIA, when can we get purevideo support for Linux? I appreciate you folks fixing the black window bug and all, but having accelerated x264 would be incredible.
In Nova Scotia and Ontario, flashing green means you have right of way, and that the other direction has a red light. Unsure about other provinces.
So far so good.
In British Columbia, that same signal means the intersection is pedestrian controlled (press a button, light changes eventually), and otherwise behaves like a 4-way stop... which is fine, except if you're a Nova Scotian who has no idea the same signal has a *very* different meaning, and almost get killed by a logging truck that you suddenly realize has no intention of stopping.
Idiocracy is a terrible movie -- it's like Fox had a grade 8 social studies class try to write social and political satire. The only redeeming quality is the intro; after that the quality drops like a rock.
For future reference, crotch injury and fart jokes are pretty much the antithesis of a 'smart' movie.

I understand that when all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail, but that's not the problem SPF was meant to address. All SPF does, all it's meant to do, is say "these are the servers that are allowed to send mail from this domain." It makes no statement on whether the email is spam or not, just whether or not it was sent from where it's supposed to come from.
What you want sounds like greylisting. This is different.
So what happens when you receive an email from a big site like Sympatico, Hotmail, or any number of other places that have farms of SMTP servers, where your message isn't guaranteed to be resent from the same IP?
This also requires users to install software to use effectively, and features CAPTCHAs which are a usability nightmare and not nearly as impregnable as the author thinks.
All that effort instead of just adding a TXT record to their domains.
The versions it reports are for an autoupdate feature... and the $_SERVER and php/database settings are (I imagine) used to figure out what wordpress settings are common. How soon they can remove support for old versions of mysql and php, how many people use cgi instead of fastcgi instead of mod_php.
The smaller gear we use has standard-ish connectors. Positive, negative and ground go into a terminal block, which in turn gets plugged into the device. That may just be a Cisco thing, I'm not sure -- even then, it's only on the relatively low draw devices with high gauge wire that use it.
The bigger stuff is all lugs, which I guess you could call a standard, but it's a nightmare to wire. Cut and crimp positive, negative and ground, fight with heavy gauge wire, find suitable ground points, or make your own if you have to... and then rinse and repeat for the B feed.
That's one of the things that bugs me about OpenBSD: the ludicrous distinction between local and remote root exploits.
Yeah, maybe you've got some ultra-locked down OpenBSD machine that doesn't actually do anything, but for most users, that latest phpBB bug that you ignored? It just effectively made the latest local kernel exploit a remote hole. For almost all users, the differentiation between local and remote holes is blurry at best. Minor vulnerabilities can and will be chained together to create a big problem.
... but that's okay, this is just a local hole, right?

"The so-called 'electronic barn-raising' will take place May 5 and involved more than 200 employees."
Either the date or the tense is wrong.

It was bad enough when it was just Moore being a pompous blowhard, but now we get to look forward to this kind of drivel from both sides of the aisle?
This is what passes for front page news now, huh?
No kidding.
Just look at Minamata (methyl mercury) and the tragic story of Karen Wetterhahn (dimethyl mercury).

Replication. None of the replication options for Postrgres are particularly pleasant, especially when compared to the support that's built into MySQL.
Not necessarily.

Good times, good times.
I'm not sure you understand. At no point past the first 15 minutes or so is the movie insightful, amusing, or in any way redeeming.
Even the first 15 minutes isn't particularly insightful, but at least it's funny.

You changed the outcome by measuring it!

Tempest in a teapot.
Solaris rate limits RSTs it will send. This makes it slightly harder to kill a machine using an ACK flood. How is that relevant?
Sort of.

DC sucks.
Except a trust metric turns anonymity into pseudonymity, which counteracts part of the point of TOR.
