Seems more likely to me that he is looking for a case with which to justify selling a non-grid solution to his boss
Exactly. But that's only interesting to him. What's interesting to us is in which cases a grid vs. non-grid solution would be a good choice. However, the poster has such an obvious slant against a grid solution that the discussion doesn't get a fresh start.
it's a little more 'primitive' in some things like package management (*whine* dependencies *whine*)
This also makes admins lazy. I know of one admin that found package management in Slackware a hassle, so he installed basically everything. He avoided installing packages later, however, all that software that can contain vulnerabilities makes a box less secure and less targeted for a single purpose.
I never understood the need for security analysts, patches and all that. Why can't they just install some sort of filter in the internet tubes and be done with it? Maybe a good time to write Senator Ted Stevens?
What I would really REALLY like to come with Perl isn't about the language itself, but about the tools.
Perl has a really nice debugger, but you can't use it for debugging scripted web pages. There are solutions, but mostly they're not provided with the standard Linux distributions. I'd like some sort of online solution that doesn't require lots of configuration.
I'd put a nice big red blinking PANIC button on it. Everytime there's something I don't like, I'd smash that button really, really hard. I'd let it do a kill -9 or something.
What you want is a scanner with a sheet feeder and a GOOD one at that. They're not that expensive anymore, since there are lots of cheap machines which have a feeder anyway due to them having a fax function. This alone will go faster than manually swapping the papers and shooting with a camera.
Don't get caught up in the lists that circulate on salaries. This year, they're a dollar a week and everyone outsourcing. Next year, they show a golden future since lots of jobs come back.
These things come and go in waves. I'm only five years in the IT and I have already recognized this, why haven't you?
By the way, it's bad form to complain about your story submission being rejected.
HP director Tom Perkins, resigned from the board in May in protest of the investigators' tactics.
I'm as much against trial-by-media as you are, but in this case the woman is wrong-wrong-wrong and IMHO should be charged. I'm sick and tired of this cut-throat, half-ethical way of doing business.
But they will make her stay so much hell (keeping he missinformed, talking behind her back, things that would be considered harrasement but hard to prove in court) that after 2-3 months she'll want to leave.
Heh yeah, or something like 'more time for the family' or something.
Hewlett-Packard Co. said Tuesday that Patricia Dunn will step down as chairwoman of the computer and printer maker in January amid a widening scandal involving a possibly illegal probe into media leaks. She will be succeeded by CEO Mark Hurd.
Hurd will retain his existing positions as chief executive and president and Dunn will remain as a director.
Strange. So she knew about illegal practices being carried out because of her request, and then continues to have a seat??
Why is it that I get a visit from the police when I do some good ole' social engineering and get caught? And this woman gets a seat as a director?
This is exactly why almost any shell or virtual private server provider has something in their policies like:
Bouncers, anonymous proxy servers, Wingates, open relay SMTP servers, or other systems or mechanisms that allow remote users to connect through the system(s) to (an)other system(s), are not allowed.

Yet, he says to us: my boss asks me, but I don't feel like it. Well, though shit brother.
And of course, the admin has the final say, however, Slackware doesn't make it easy to quickly install this-or-that tool on demand.

Indeed, well put! So, do I get modded "interesting" too?
This is all nice, but where's the podcast?

While we're at the subject of torrent sites, does anyone have experience with the new Relakks service from PirateBay?

Yeah, and Kinesis doesn't ship to Europe because of EU regulation issues...

Did I say it changed?
