  1. Re:Slashdotted, but... on Teach An Old Athlon New Tricks · · Score: 0
    This is a perfect example of why IIS "friendly" error messages are generally a Bad Thing.

    Because, you know, "access forbidden - too many users" is just so cryptic. I would never think to increase the capacity of the server or the max users setting on IIS. (Yes, I looked up the error code's meaning, which would normally appear on the English versions of the "friendly" error pages.) In addition, there's no such thing as a "friendly" IIS error page. You may be thinking of ASP, ASP.NET, or even IE, and the "friendly" pages are simply designed to not reveal your code to outsiders (in the case of ASP[.NET]). Learn something about your target before you bash it, even if it is a Microsoft product.

    Wow, I thought the story said "illegal."

    Popup ads are still legal.

    The next Slashdot story will be ready soon, but subscribers can beat the rush and see it early!

    Check out BXML for a binary encoding of XML to efficiently carry scientific/array-type data. Feedback appreciated.

    Why not just ZIP, RAR, or otherwise compress the file? Does there need to be a separate standard?

    Scott Bakula (Bacula) was on Quantum Leap and is currently on Star Trek: Enterprise. Sorry if you didn't pick up that it was a joke. It should work as you state.

  7. Re:this is retarded on Build a Multi-Output MP3 Server? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Like I said with regard to the costs, you have to license the music regardless. Putting it through a computer jukebox is just an expression of that license that requires further costs. Hence, you must compare straight CDs to licensed music + the media access system for a computer. You cannot compare the storage for copyrighted media to the cost of licensing the media.

  8. Re:this is retarded on Build a Multi-Output MP3 Server? · · Score: 1
    Since the CD option costs more per-song and is more inconvenient (since you have to change the CDs every 70 minutes), I'd judge it inferior.

    Most of a CD's cost is not the media; it's the licensing and fees. Try adding in the cost of licensing 100GB of music, and don't tell me you got it all off MP3.com.

    Bacula only works with Quantum [Leap] hard drives, which should be an adequate solution for the Enterprise.

  10. Re:SALVAGE SALVAGE SALVAGE on Novell Nterprise Linux Services Announced · · Score: 1
    I've yet to see any other x86 network OS with a standard utility like SALVAGE which can undelete files regardless of the application which deleted them.

    Windows Server 2003 has file shadowing services that allow restoration of previous versions. This, however, requires a 2000 or XP (to the best of my knowledge) with the shadowing software installed. Another option is Executive Software's Undelete, which covers deletions of all types, including the ones you mentioned.

    45 days up, and climbing fast

    The only way your uptime would climb more slowly is if you increased the server's proximity to a black hole.

    I hope it checks with my calendar to make sure I'm free for that friday night concert!

    The API call for IsSlashdotUser() is much easier and altogether, just as accurate.
