that this sort of thing will spread around the world.
People, not just kids, doing horrible things like that and entertainment, in whatever form, getting blamed for it. It's the parents who are responsible for the right upbringing of kids. Teach them morals and values, make them understand the results of the actions they do.
A simple letter of apology, obviously dictated by an adult as someone metioned before, won't help the victims and the victims family in any way. Not only should the kids get a decent punishment, but the parents as well. They are the ones responsible for the behaviour of their children.
It's about time people start taking responsibilty for the things they do. Don't know how to raise a kid, don't start on one.
And of course the gun. Where the hell did they get the gun!? The days of revolution in the US are over. Everybody wielding a gun is dangerous as shown here. No wonder there's a lot of crime because any two-bit criminal can get his hands on one and start a massacre if he wants to.
Now I'm not so much afraid of Europe allowing everyone a gun, as the people slowly starting to act in the same way and putting the blame for their faults on tv/games/movies/whatever...
I hope this gets a lot more coverage than the average soapseries and it'll teach some people to think about what they do.
But then I read more often how the educational system isn't teaching the youth to think, but to do as they are told like good droids, so it'll be forgotten soon.
10 servers isn't too bad.
We move got rid of several server last year going to Citrix, and we're moving a cluster and some extra servers to a new cluster, mailserver, sql, etc...
And very soon we'll have a few servers more, and about 36 bladeservers for Citrix connection for users all over the world...
150-200 clients is lucky with 2 or 3 IT people?
Man, where I work we have 4 people for about 400 clients, a lot of servers, and we give support to our international affiliates...
200 clients would be a permanent vacation. *lol*
Ug-ly!
No, that thing wouldn't look good anywhere in my opinion, but then I do prefer the simple, square, black boxes. And the one I bought was cheaper as well...
As I see it they are talking about using computing power in a different way than it is being used now. Instead of focussing on a small part of data and doing a lot of numbercrunching on it, they want to take the whole chunk of data and process it at once. That way scientists might get a more global perspective on things, and might be able to form and/or adjust different theories during the preliminary results. The way that can be done is through a lot of cheap harware in a cluster, but they don't care what will run as OS, as long as scientists will get a better way to do their jobs. It's not about MS, Linux, BSD, VMS or whatever, it's about getting better results and efficiency from computing power.
I wonder how long it'll be before the internet is converted into a real world wide web, and every means of communication will run over IPv6 (or another new protocol)...
No more large bunches of different cables for internet, phone, cable tv, etc... One cable, one protocol would make maintenance easier and cheaper on the hardware side. It'll also make expansion easier like the idea for The Grid, the internet that would expand into space.
On the other side security needs to be beefed up with better encryption, but that shouldn't be too big a problem with enough numbercrunching processors.
Time for a new slogan, "One net, one people"...
Hmmm... I never had any trouble moving swapfiles, only on NT it could still demand a 2MB swapfile on the systemdrive. I moved it once by altering the registry, and even that was no problem.
There is one prohibition against using Z: for a driveletter, and that is that Z: is the standard homeshare in an NT network. But since we use another letter for that, and even better, I am one of the admins I removed that drive altogether, it doesn't affect me. *grin*
When I recieved the new laptop from work, I tore Windows 2000 apart into seperate bits and gave each their own partition (4 in total). (and I mean tear it apart at the "core", not just install programs to a different drive/partition) The system part, ie WINNT directory, stays defragged and clean, just like the Program Files directory. And it has proven itself seeing this thing runs 21 hours a day and I've messed with software a lot.

gimme a break. SCO, WHY WON'T YOU DIE???
:-P
Maybe because they run on *BSD??
Wait, so many replies already, and no-one started singing in a lunchroom with a horned helmet on their head!?!? /. crowd*

This reminds me of this page.
