Yeah I've been waiting for gigaE installed by them over by ray town for just shy of a year. The only word I hear from them is on the last day of their "deadlines" I get an email saying "yeeaahh so about your gigabit connection...yeahhh that's um not gonna happen we need another 6 months kthx."
ZFS. ZFS in some form. FreeNAS with ZFS, FreeBSD with ZFS. Don't run anything else. Checksumming, self healing, stable, future proof. Don't risk bitrot or corruption or data loss. Just do it.
As far as metadata, thats a bitch. Ive yet to find an open metadata format that is widely supported, and will be around in 50 years.
Im hoping someone here chimes in with a good metadata solution! Ive yet to find one I love.
Cheating and corruption in *India*?! No. Fucking. Way! I expect nothing less in the rape capital of the world.
P.s. my wife is indian and I have first experience with how corrupt and vile that country is. From cops, to repairmen to government officials.
The reason people pirate, and I think if everyone who has pirated software or movies or whatever is honest will admit, is because of price. The free market revolves around pricing being based on what the market will support. Look at Photoshop or Windows. I argue the two most pirated pieces of software out there. For them both people are faced with two options. Pay the TOTALLY over inflated price of the product, or steal it. Software has gotten away with pricing whatever it wants since its inception without regard for the market. There is no PS alternative. And since softwares inception people have been pirating. To me this is pretty obvious. Software is grossly over priced and some people are choosing to steal it. I bet if you reduce the cost of windows or PS to $10 or less piracy becomes almost extinct for those applications. Thats my theory and I bet it would be true. I know people want to be compensated for their work. I have no problem with that. But I don't believe you can be pricing your software for hundreds of dollars and not expect people to "vote with their dollars" and just steal your work because you are ignoring the market and super inflating the value of your software.And that is what piracy is imo it's people telling you your software is SUPER inflated in price and not worth it so either lower the price or accept piracy. I think piracy and price are directly related.
This is my opinion but I am willing to put money on it being valid.
The reason PGP, and GPG as well, fail is because PKI is just too difficult to setup and maintain. I'm sure some nerd who lives in his mom's basement is going to contest this but the fact remains it's too difficult to do in most corporations let alone end users. Making a key, remembering the password, managing keys, revoking keys, it's all just a total pain in the ass. If you truly want secure email for the masses it has to be transparent. This is just a given. People are not going to do PKI. This is the main reason we don't have mass adoption of PGP encrypted email.
The second reason and it's to a lesser extent but still a strong motivator IMO for the lack of secure options for communication are that corporations and governments don't WANT secure applications being adopted. How else can the government spy on you or corporations steal secrets from each other if things are encrypted. This isn't paranoid fantasy land I live in. I don't think any intelligent person today doesn't know especially over the last 8 years that the governments are doing everything they can to spy on you, record you, monitor you and track you. Wether its the TSA, DHS, warrant-less wiretapping whatever we are living in a 1984'esqe society. Seamless and mass adoption of strong encryption and anonymity by the masses would *seriously* curtail their ability to spy on you and find dissidents and evil doers who read catcher in the rye.
So IMO these are the two strongest compelling reasons we don't have encryption for the masses yet. Phil's ZFone project is a good step in the right direction though.
Same here. I have a dual G4 quicksilver and i have never had a problem with OS X or the machine. Ever.
I't has gotten to the point where i am bored, because all it does is help me get work done. And OS X makes working so well designed and easy that doesn't usually take long. So most of my time is spent playing a game or hunting down new music in the iTunes music store. It's unreal how stable Apple HW is, and how efficient OS X is at getting work done.
Why anyone would buy a PC is beyond me. Really.
Just go to the apple store and on the left hand column towards the bottom is a link with a red tag that says "SAVE" and special deals written above it. They are offering some good prices on refurbished hardware, laptops, ipods, desktops etc..
Snag em now before those are gone. It is christmas after all.
If you didn't live under a rock you would have known that.
It's NOT APPLES FAULT CRACK HEAD! Blame the recording industry for making licensing so GOD DAMN HARD!
It's the same story why it isn't available in the UK or anywhere else either. THE RECORDING INDUSTRY CONTROLS THE LICENSING STRINGS! NOT APPLE!
Jesus people blame the right people mmmkay??
Cry more n00b!
Stop using a useless format *no one uses*
Get over it. You made a piss poor choice encoding your tune's in a format that is going nowhere. This is like bitching because you recorded all your movies on betamax tapes and now you cant play them on todays VCR's.
What a coke head you must be.
That's because MJ is trying to compete *against* Apple. And after today all the other music services are going to have their nuts crushed in a vice. It's game over. They were all given notice today. Life support will only keep them around for so long.
Nugget said it best. How you equate the BSD license with your POV above is beyond me. You somehow wave a magic wand and make the original BSDL code dissapear just because someone *uses* that code to build on to. The original code is still available freely under the BSDL. Further code built on top of it by the Evil Company Inc. was written by them and they can lock it in a vault all they want. But the original is still there for you to use freely. I just never understood how people think Evil Co. can somehow wave a magic wand and the original BSDL code they used as a base suddenly goes poof.

MR. POTATO HEAD! Backdoors are not secrets!"
I use Tarsnap. Cheap. Fast. Reliable. *Secure*. Client for almost all major platforms. Source included for the client. Check it out.
Cheating and corruption in *India*?! No. Fucking. Way! I expect nothing less in the rape capital of the world. P.s. my wife is indian and I have first experience with how corrupt and vile that country is. From cops, to repairmen to government officials.
Just stick to being a smelly unkempt hippy and STFU about shit you know nothing about. Kthx!

I live in Wichita and can't wait for that. Silencers, automatic weapons, certain explosives, good times good times.
