I use a
LinkTheater High-Definition Wireless Media Player talking to An open source media server. Running on Linux with a large collection of media ( 8 discs hanging off a 3ware sata hardware raid controller ).
Works very well, I like it, the children like it. Wife has been convinced the media player as a fine idea (eventuallly).
What they might be trying to get at is the segragation of responsiblities
eg. Two people with root access, two different people with "dba" access and another two people people with application level root access. With logs stored an a different machine that only management sysadmins have access too.
Most auditors I have seen don't really understand that root can do everything.
I am half hoping they choose the change control where I grab the FC's encrypted password change the FC's password to something I know, do some work and then put her encrypted password back.
It would be entertaining, our consultant auditor was suprised with what su did.....
The chinese connection is even odder... because most of them are FARMERS in WoW.
Given that china will have different servers to europe and america this is not the case unless they are only selling to themselves.
all our DBs have redundant power supplies. we'll be plugging one side into Internap's, and the other side into our own UPS, which itself is plugged into Internap's other power grid. that way if EPO is pressed, we'll have 1-4 minutes to do a clean shutdown.
I find it worring that they are actually going to do that. If the place needs a big red button it HAS to work. If it doesn't need it don't have it.
It took me 10 minutes to write a bit of perl to store it in a form that the db app on my sony p910i can read. So now I have my book collection searchable on my phone so I don't buy any duplicates at the second hand book shop.
Add me to the list of happy customers, the bar code scanning works very well I use a standard sony fireware dv camera. I put it on a tripod about 6 inch's away from a wall to get the scanning distance right.
As I am from the UK it used to only work for my books but I note version 1.1 can talk to amazon.co.uk. When I tried a random DVD it now works.
So another happy customer who paid full price. I was put on to it at work by a fell sysadmin who had just bought it.

NARRATOR: But the problem Travis faced was to establish exactly how big an effect the contrails were actually having. The only way to do that was to find a period of time when, although conditions were right for contrails to form, there were no flights. And, of course, that never happened. Until September 2001. Then, for three days after the 11th virtually all commercial aircraft in the US were grounded. It was an opportunity Travis could not afford to miss. He set about gathering temperature records from all over the USA.
DR DAVID TRAVIS: Initially data from over 5,000 weather stations across the 48 united states, the areas that was most dominantly affected by the grounding.
NARRATOR: Travis was not looking just at temperature - that varies a lot from day to day anyway. Instead he focused on something that normally only changes quite slowly: the temperature range. The difference between the highest temperature during the day and the lowest at night. Had this changed at all during the three days of the grounding?
DR DAVID TRAVIS: As we began to look at the climate data and the evidence began to grow I got more and more excited. The actual results were much larger than I expected. So here we see for the 3 days preceding September 11th a slightly negative value of temperature range with lots of contrails as normal. Then we have this sudden spike right here of the 3 day period. This reflects lack of clouds, lack of contrails, warmer days cooler nights, exactly what we expected but even larger than what we expected. So what this indicates is that during this 3 day period we had a sudden drop in Global Dimming contributed from airplanes.
NARRATOR: During the grounding the temperature range jumped by over a degree Celsius. Travis had never seen anything like it before.
DR DAVID TRAVIS: This was the largest temperature swing of this magnitude in the last thirty years.
Miyazaki's film's are always beautiful, Totoro is a film that is perfect for very small children. Mine still ask to see it at 4 and 6 years ( I havn't got them to ask for the subtitled version but give them time.... ). Does it have a moral ? , I am not sure it is one of my favorite films though.
I am also please to see Diana Wynne Jones recieving some attention as she is a great author who I have read for many years.
As a relatively small IT manager with at are largest 100 employee's we bought from the little computer manufacturer becuase we could specify exactly our system and they would build it for us cheaply. They also support their machines for 3 years.
I have used them for the last 9 years at different companies and never had a problem.
Just looked at our copy of mostly harmless which I remmember buying for my now wife when it was first published. That man had a squiggle for a signature....
Personally although I have listened to the world service late at night. I think it can be regarded as a bit of a propagander channel. I don't think anything it broadcasts is unbalenced but there are transmitters working hard to try and get the signal where others may not want it to go.
And I think the world service is funded by tax payers directly unlike the bbc itself which is funded by the license fee which is not a tax. You don't have to have a televison you know and I know a number of people who don't.
Darn, I was going to moderate in this thread but I thought I had
to reply to this.
I have meet Harlan Ellison ( I was gopher for him and JMS at a
convention ( with no actors ) many years ago) and I like him.He is
opinionated and his not afraid to let people know what his opinions
are but he is as sane as the rest of us. If you wrote something and
released under a non free license would you be happy to see copies of
it flying round ? Don't make the assumption that all authors are
rich. Their writing is there job and its why they get paid.
I am not saying that I don't download stuff that I don't own but
in general If I want something I will have paid for it. Strangely
most of the things I download are more for the idea that I could
watch them if I wished rather than too watch them.
There was a process to go though to get AOL to do something and
they did not follow though on there obligation. Now what they should
have done and what impact it may have had are another matter but they
did not do what they where supposed to do.
I was listening to the teacher being interviewed on radio four this lunchtime and I will bring the following quotes from the article. Basically Zainab is given optional lesions to children after hours. The school has at least two languages on the curriculum and this is to encourage those who are interested.
Zainab Thorp, a special needs co-ordinator at Turves Green Boys' Technology College in Birmingham, is offering after-hours classes, where pupils struggle through vocabulary and verb tables.
"The reason I'm offering the lessons is to give the boys, some of whom have special educational needs, something to boost their self-esteem.
"They have responded very well and are eager to learn more. It's also very useful if they want to go on to university to study, as it involves looking at some of Tolkien's old manuscripts. This develops some very complex skills."
Okay so our mail relays run a Unix like operating system, but the internal world is an exchange server.
I havn't seen a single problem with this and the first I really knew about it was a member of higher management telling me that they had had 3 virus cleaned today which was quite a bit and commenting on an email that the university had sent him
Maybe trend and exchange work relatively well. Okay lets say trend isn't a bad virus scanner.
Slashdot Mirror
Reading the article it's all about software raid and the performance they get.
... )
The interesting question is what other peices of software that we run will get unexpectedly bad performance.
( I have > 2TB of hardware RAID 5 at home so I was wondering

Dalek was the episode that should how good the show was going to be.
:)
The empty child was scary ( I can say that as a 36 year old
Then they would not count as players on the chineese severs then would they.
The chinese connection is even odder... because most of them are FARMERS in WoW. Given that china will have different servers to europe and america this is not the case unless they are only selling to themselves.
Yup the BBC is one of the best bargains we have here.
I find it worring that they are actually going to do that. If the place needs a big red button it HAS to work. If it doesn't need it don't have it.
Depends how many books you have....

I must be one of the few people who actually like the 17" powerbook I am typing on then. It rarely runs hot and is a sweet little machine

I like practically all of axis's equipment and they are not hideously priced on ebay
I would highly recommend MIMEDefang which allows you to write your milter in perl which is a good thing(tm)_ mimedefang.php

It does make him look more independant which is no bad thing.

Okay so I feel sad I am the only person on ebay doing just that.... I can feel the bad karma already. And I will roll up a fedora test release in a few days time.

Sorry had to post to this. Do you know how moderation works for usenet ?
