"The Great Global Warming Swindle" used hand-picked old data and replaced the last 15-20 years of several graphs with _made up_ numbers. They lied using false data to support their claim.
Big typo in the first line. Not raid 0. Raid 1 on the file servers. Raid 5 on the backup server, which is kept in a locked room on the opposite end of the building. And raid 1 on the spare, which also keeps a second backup of important files. Our important databases are additionally backed up to tapes, which are stored offsite. And nightly diffs are made of our ERP database, so I could go back and find a record that was deleted say, the middle of last year if I wanted.
5 Samba servers. A DFS root, two main file servers (2x250gb sata raid 0 each), a backup server in another room, and a spare server (our previous backup server). With DFS, rsync, and the spare I was able to upgrade the hard drives in both file servers without downtime.
Samba got our full attention when we installed it on an old, slow, unused server and noticed that it was visibly much faster than any of our Windows file servers. Just clicking around the file shares in Windows Explorer, the difference was like night and day. One the Windows servers, directory listings would always take at least 1/2 second to display. On the Samba server, it was practically instantaneous. It was like local browsing.
Nearly all of our downtime has been hardware related. Our old backup server suffered multiple simultaneous hard disk failures. One of our file servers suffered from failed ram, and I didn't have a replacement handy, but I was able to get it to avoid the bad parts with a kernel boot option, until I could get it replaced. There have been a couple software issues. Our spare server, at a time when we didn't need it, somehow managed to damage its MBR, booting to a blank screen after we rebooted it, but I was able to restore grub with a live CD once I figured out what it had done. I'm really not sure what was to blame for that. And we had WildFire IM server on our DFS root, and it managed to fill the hard disk with error logs one day, but that was a WildFire problem, not Samba or Linux.
Command line encoder/decoder here. I've had no problems running it on Wine.
Just have to wait and see what more people think about the licensing. If there's any legal risk, HD Photo will be dead to me. Though it looked pretty good in my small completely unscientific test.
It's only for audio, very little of the money collected reaches copyright owners (much less the recording artists themselves), and fair distribution of the money is pretty much impossible.
You can bounce a CD off a wall without scratching it. It's not until they land on the floor afterwards, spinning as they slide across the rough surface, that you have to worry about scratches.
A 4.77mhz 8086 with 64kb ram and a 360kb floppy drive maybe cost around $3000 in 1982 (I was a newborn then, so I don't remember the exact numbers). So today, an equivalent system should cost about $6000, based on the CPI. But since today's desktops are typically 10000 as fast, have 10000x the ram, and hard disks up to over 2 million times the size of a floppy, only the richest people in the world should be able to afford one.
On the other hand, I'd expect many more nodes if this was all function calls. It still looks like more than system calls, but much less than all calls. Maybe it includes all.dll and shared library calls. I imagine this isn't an apples-oranges comparison. Static linking could make one appear simpler than the other.
The more modular a program, the more its call graph will look like spaghetti. The function nodes don't indicate the complexity of the functions. I'm assuming these graphs cover all function calls. It looks too deeply nested to just be system calls.
Imagine if the call graph was much much simpler, like just one central node with branches to each system call. Anyone responsible for such a monolithic blob of spaghetti code would have trouble finding a new job.
I've seen these graphs several times already. With a date like "April 14th, 2006", I'm almost sure this is a dupe, but I don't feel like searching to prove it.

He started his own video blog on YouTube like only a week ago. Though I haven't seen any comments on Linux yet.

She's much more appealing than the Linux Guy we had before.
Oops. It said FTC. That's not even their job is it?
The FCC (may as well be called the Federal Censorship Commission) would be wiped out for being 100% unconstitutional.
The last time I checked (XP), the Office license let you install it on two systems, presumably a laptop and desktop.
It's kind of pointless if there's no Linux build. I wonder if it'll work in Wine.
At least they're not using Microsoft's definition of cross-platform: It runs on Vista _and_ XP.

Here's a corrected version of the falsified graph they based half the documentary on, with links to all sources:

There are plenty of open source CAD programs. It's just that none of them are very good.
Today they responded with alternate dns servers to use that don't have that annoying feature.
Let us know how it turns out.
I emailed them a complaint about it yesterday. In some places the DNS redirects started over two weeks ago.
What pisses me off the most is that if I click "opt out", further redirects go to live.com. It's a fake opt-out. There is no opt-out.

Never underestimate the stupidity of average people. That was his mistake.
Oh no! Dear God NO! It's got blinking lights! Run for your lives! It's a BOMB!! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!

"damages based on the marketing value of the video being posted on YouTube for the duration it has been down"
I can't imagine that amounting to very much. I'd ask for punitive damages.
