Huh. We (as a small >40 person business) just went from fast ethernet to a gigE backbone with fastE to the workstations for less than $5k, and it dramatically improved network performance. Of course, a) we tend to toss around 300Gb datasets pretty casually and b) we already had Cat 5e wiring in place (new building).
I suppose I just assumed the point of the article was that Samba beat Win2k3 under high-load conditions, which in my mind includes gigE.
Funny how the exact opposite situation occoured for a consulting business I worked for once...
We had to rip out the Win2000 Active Directory tree and replace it with simpler Linux/Samba/OpenLDAP servers because the administration of the Linux machines was much simpler.
Think back to when you first learned AD if you think I'm trolling. It takes (in my experience) about three-four months to get to the point where you truly understand it enough to make changes, and if you don't need even 10% of the silly features involved, Linux is so much easier to handle (so would Win2k PDCs that were non-AD, but I have my biases)
Y'know, there is this new thing called "Gigabit Ethernet". So I'd say if your network is the bottleneck you can go from 100Mb to 1000Mb pretty easily.
On the other hand, if your network problems are bottlenecked by microsoft's awful SMB/CIFS implementation, then go directly to Samba (do not pass go, do not install Windows 2000).
Dunno where you come from, but slots in Vegas and Atlantic City tend to run closer to 92%-98%--that is, in the long run if you spend $100 you will win back $98 of it.
Of course, you have to factor in the megajackpots into those odds, but they're not as bad as some forms of gambling.
...that's why this is only the second successful recall petition, despite a recall having been attempted every election for 90 years (since the recall statue was put into place).
*nods* Yeah, you're right. On the other hand, I'm not sure I agree with that in its entirety. Whether I start with the code or not, it's possible to do an honest re-implementation. Of course, Vryce doesn't strike me as all that reputable (having met the guy), and anyone who'd make $80k/yr. on a mud and not pay any of his staff more than a pittance is not ethical in my opinion (why I wandered away in favor of volunteer muds)
The really sad part is that there are numerous relatively original sections in Med's codebase, and NO ONE LIKES THEM. (I'm thinking Adversary, in particular).
To keep this on the real topic, go play Ancient Anguish. (ancient.anguish.org). It's fun, and run entirely by the players (your donations buy you toys, but not power (last I checked), which I think is more ethical for a non-paying mud).
While they may lead to more LEO satellites, they also make it easier to retrieve/repair obselete and broken LEO satellites. I suspect it will even out.
I'm in full agreement. IMHO, "virtual" crime that happens within the parameters of the game should be punished only within the confines of the game.
If I hack the game and take your stuff, I'm criminally liable. If I beat your character up legitmately and take your stuff, I'm legally in the clear (but maybe the guards in the game engine then kick MY ass and give you your stuff back.)
Y'know, I'm gonna go read the link, but I would be really surprised if there was much Diku code left in Medievia at this point...I was a builder for them for a while, then a coder, and the source code I saw is radically divergent from the Diku sources I've played with.
Personally, as a SysAdmin/System Developer I signed an agreement that involved a 5-year non-compete clause, but as I can count the number of agribusiness weather forecasting operations out there on one hand, I wasn't too worried about it.
I think it must be an error in your configuration. I have had zero rpt zero errors using Mozilla 1.2 and Mozilla 1.4 viewing Slashdot. And believe me, I post a lot and read a lot.
Well, you can't have it both ways--in a prior post you mentioned the feds would be pissed if they saw your actual income.
You are required to report all your income, y'know, even the stuff you mentioned as being made by ebay--I see $43k in earned income that you're admittedly not paying taxes on, for a start.
*shrugs* But then again, I'm libertarian. I oppose my tax dollars being used for anything but national functions (like defense, and...maybe a small judiciary that only gets involved in inter-state disputes. Maybe), not all this grant bullshit.
*shrugs* Of course, I'm sufficiently radical a libertarian that I believe dissolving the federal gov't entirely is probably the best course of action at this point. Fewer loopholes = fewer fuckoffs like you stealing my money via taxes.
*snore* Far better a system where such grants as you leech from are completely eliminated. Privately violating the spirit of the law while externally following the letter is just as reprehensible as outright tax evasion and cheating, IMHO.
It takes very little effort, even in this economy, to be not poor. I went to public school and a state university, paid my own damn tuition (with help from my parents, who make $30k/yr each on a small business they started with Dad's savings from his stint in Vietnam), and I have a nice apartment, a new car, and money to save on my own less than two months after graduating college.
And yeah, it is jerks like you who're taking my money. 20% of my paycheck is a lot when I'm only making $30k/yr myself. I'd LOVE to see Forbes' flat tax proposal go through, and while I'm not poor, my fiancee and I are definitely lower-middle -class until she graduates college.
I believe that it's only GSM band phones that are a problem with some very specific varieties of medical equipment. I don't think any 3G or *DMA phones cause problems.
For once the american's incompat. phone system is useful? =P
You did read the earlier analysis--they're looking at multiple page serves per vhost per second every second. 24GB in logfiles alone from one. Now, speaking as a admin for a (VERY) small hosting company, my customers don't pay for that kind of stuff.
But if they signed up for a monitoring service like this...it's on the customer's head, methinks.
Honestly, left/right would be nearly as useful as surround sound. Most dogfighting (not missile engagements) where you need these senses takes place in a single horizontal plane.
If anything, it'd improve one's formation-holding to be able to "hear" the echelon behind and to the right rather than having to look.
Scale point potentially taken, but dogfights (which by definition are short-range maneuver combat) is generally less than 3 miles range. Not dozens of klicks.
Umm, I think they're discussing converting radar data to audio position data, not using sonar as a sensing mechanism. =P
Just out of curiousity, are you ignored a lot in middle school? Does ranting stupidly on slashdot give you feelings of power that almost make up for the fact you're uniformly rejected by your peers and members of the opposite sex?
While it doesn't migitate the damage, if you're going to compare operating systems, you need to compare servers to servers, not web sites to web sites.
Maybe the best way to phrase it would be something like "23,000 sites, running on 2,000 linux boxes, were hacked; compare to 4,500 sites running on 3,900 windows boxes."
If by "impossible" you mean "not feasible with current budgetary constraints", sure, I'll agree. But I could think of a few (expensive or otherwise politically unacceptable) ways to handle mid-phase missile intercepts without even having to muck with discrimintating decoys out of the cloud.
And honestly, the report you linked to is highly uncreative about the prospects of boost-phase intercepts (which could also be done from a space-based platform), although it DOES claim they're feasible.
Oh, and North Korea freakin' BRAGS about having missiles, and shoots one off at least once a year.

Being a linux user with a dual boot, the realities of linux gaming mean I pretty much have to reboot to switch to windows if I want to game anyway. =P
As I read the article, Internet voting is only going to apply to absentee voting...so most of the comments are invalid.
Feel free to correct me of course.
*nods* Yeah, you're right.

Crazy Ivan from C&CRA2...
"...Ivan's not home."
"Happy BIRTHDAY!" *plants dynamite*
Still cracks me up every time I hear it.
Tanya, by contrast, was just annoying as all hell.
*snore* Far better a system where such grants as you leech from are completely eliminated. Privately violating the spirit of the law while externally following the letter is just as reprehensible as outright tax evasion and cheating, IMHO.
Bah, listen to you. Admitting cheating yer taxes.
It takes very little effort, even in this economy, to be not poor.

Doesnt' happen with me, latest version of Firebird.
Maybe you have your system fonts set ridiculously huge? Or maybe you're talking out of your ass--like EVERY OTHER COMMENT YOU MAKE. =P
Just out of curiousity, are you ignored a lot in middle school? Does ranting stupidly on slashdot give you feelings of power that almost make up for the fact you're uniformly rejected by your peers and members of the opposite sex?
Yeah, I thought so.
It wasn't offensive.
It was just the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
And that takes serious effort. =P
