Last time I looked, Debian packages were by far a vast number of duplicates.
For example, PHP was compiled in several different versions in several different methods (with XML, without XML, with..., etc.).
FreeBSD has a php package for CGI based PHP4, Mod based PHP4, and Mod based PHP3. But all of the compile options (components of PHP itself) are flags to be set during compile time and are one package.
Anyway, by bundling this way, a single BSD package may be equivelent to 15 or 20 Debian packages.
So, take the NetBSD repository and double it.
OpenBSD is even wonkier. They'll have a single port that supports several versions of a piece of software (a -devel line and -stable line) as well as all of the compile time options. So it may have 40 or more different ways of being compiled.
PHP has had pretty good Shared Memory support for quite a while. Shared memory is plenty fine in this case since most sites only have a few megs of commonly used data.
Shared memory is a perfectly valid fix for this issue -- but you usually cannot use it on shared hosting packages -- but you cannot do the Java thing either in most cases...
No... But you can get paid by the OpenSource project then donate the money back to them. Yes, you'll still be paying taxes -- but to the project, you're simply giving them dirt cheap labour.
Oh I don't know.. It's a pretty large group of committers (375 or so?).
Anyway, my government tells immigrants whether they may or may not be a citizen, at which time those immigrants have voting rights to elect a new government.
The only real difference is that you cannot be born a BSD Committer -- but must prove yourself worthy first:)
With all due respect, you're not going to make a very good database admin if your experience is limited to MySQL.
Much as I wouldn't hire someone who's sole unix experience was with Linux (for any position other than Junior anyway). You simply learn a slew more tricks of the trade when your experience is diversified. When making a decision, you can usually back it up with a decent reason rather than simply "It's what I'm used to".
Nothing against Linux or MySQL. I've said the same to people who have solely used Oracle on Solaris.
Heck yeah. Even if you have unlimited memory, you still have finite bandwidth between the memory and the CPU. Any *real* reduction will have a speed improvement on all systems.
Anyway, the real trick is to apply those techniques without actually doing any (much) work. Sometimes as simple as a define and some preprocessor work, othertimes you toss a perlscript into the toolchain that builds & compiles the code.
That, or if possible have the technique applied globally by the compilter itself. Send a patch to Sun;)
Can't see why that would bother you. You encrypt everything between the desktop and the server room anyway right? Just like your wireless access?
I bet someone could generally walk in the frontdoor with a laptop and sit in the meeting room to accomplish the same thing without anbody saying anything.
Tis in Canada... Canada isn't in a depression, most would not call it a recession. Inflation was around 4% last year -- and they're recently raised interest rates to keep it down.
There are some industries not doing so well -- but I wouldn't count the tech sector as one of them, anymore.
I'm not sure you could create a bigger gap between these two parties.
However, just like we modify plants to be more hearty with less water and disease resistent, we could modify those folks to function with less food / water and be disease resistent.
For that matter, I'd like some of that. This whole eating thrice a day thing takes a lot of time to do well.
Problem comes with funds transfer. If I buy stuff for you, how do you pay me? If I use your credit info, won't the store quickly realize I'm not the person actually buying the stuff?
Second issues comes with warranty and receipt. Though most major stores will take returns so long as they sell the product.
I dunno.. 17bn is fairly low if you consider what has been spent on 'The war on terrorism' and the estimated cost of another war in Iraq.
What has the ISS cost to this date? The shuttle to design / build? Given these first two components exist, a launch system for lightweight cargo is next. The space plane, elevator, catapult, ideas are for this.
The day China goes to the moon (sooner than you think!) the US will complete a project like this.
It's subtle corruptions most people worry about. If you're doing financial transactions, you do everything you can to ensure that 4 doesn't turn into an 8 accidentally.
With RAM prices as low as they are now, why don't you just shove 4GB of ram into your home computer and let the OS data-cache deal with it.
Nope, won't help your boot time -- but who reboots anymore? Laptops have uptimes measure in months -- even whey they're being carried around during the day.

It's all about the Sports and Hobbits section at the library...
Yes, but thats not exactly at room temperature is it?

Sony does sell audio burners, but they only work with audio CDs. You know, those green ones that sell for about $4 a shot.

Thats not a half bad idea.

Oops... dropping my t.
No... but my first though on Root Server was a waitress with vegetables.
Sorry, let me qualify that the younger 2 have only recently started with collecting :).
And also that most CDs don't have 15 songs -- especially the speciality ones which have closer to 3 or 4.
Funnily enough, I actually know of a family with *at least* that many CDs -- probably closer to double.
There are 4 members of the family, each of whom tends to buy ~ 2 cds a day. This has been going on for several (6 or 7) years now.
You should see their sound system(s)!

The backup process isn't so bad -- but have you tried a restore yet?
It's been what, 5 or 6 years now? They're going to be another decade before their done.
Most certainly.
The big crux is you need a table lock to build the index so that new entries aren't written to or removed from the table during this time.
Heh.. Those came from Network Solutions (the old registrar of .org) -- the old Oracle based solution.
Mind you, NSI hasn't been known for writing robust code, so I'd be willing to bet databases weren't involved in causing the issue.
