But, since most image formats probably don't support embedded metadata
All common image formats used on the web (GIF, JPG, PNG) support embedded meta-data. But this whole "don't index images that contain different domain name" would just hurt the copyright holders in the longrun anyways.
It just makes stealing the stuff easier since you won't be found via google.
Does anyone have any expirience with opteron cpus for servers? How do they perform under server-loads compared to xeons?
We are currently running dual-xeons only (heavy i/o and/or memory throughput, webserver and java servlet engines) and I'm curious how a dual-opteron would deal with that kind of load.
Anyone know any serious, real-world benchmarks comparing the two? Are the Opteron boards mature enough for production use, yet?
Unless you know more about secure data deletion than Peter Gutmann you should use wipe for the job and not attempt to re-invent it. Wipe is open source and has been available for almost 10 years.
Dude, how often do you need to repeat yourself? You made no less than 4 posts to this thread, all saying the same thing.
Yes, 2.6. is not quite stable but at the same time it's not as bad as you make it sound. I wouldn't use it on a server but for most workstation- and home-use it's pretty fine already!
It seems you have missed that 2.6 is the head-branch. That means it's a work-in-progress and nobody considers it finished!
So just quit the whining and stick with 2.4 until 2.6 is finished, mmkay?
Well, you do have a point about the CPU cycle count probably not being comparable.
There are two reasons why I keep pulling this benchmark set when people try to convince me that I should be using BSD for my servers.
1. BSD is beaten by linux 2.6 in all of the benchmarks (incl. those
that measure ms) 2. It's the only half-decent linux- vs bsd-networking benchmark
that I know of...
If anyone has more up to date info I'd be glad to hear about it. Until then (or until someone convices me that the methods used in that benchmark are nonsense) I'll consider linux networking superior to bsd networking.
Well, according to this benchmark linux 2.6 outperforms all BSDs on most network related metrics. Admittedly the thing is quite old now, anyone know how current BSD performs vs linux?
Over here in germany you can buy them for that price (and less) all over the place. You don't get a box, though (who needs that anyways) as they're OEM-versions.
MS has sued a couple dealers because OEM versions are supposed to only be sold bundled with hardware - and lost.
In fact, the bandwidth *is* there. It's just not sold at reasonable prices to Joe Average, yet. Nonetheless within 5yrs your "typical DSL or cable modem" speed will be in the 10mbit range and p2p feeding will probably be as common as unicast feeds or bittorent today.
Multicast would indeed be the better solution but like you I don't see it happen.
In the same way pirate radio simply doesn't exist in the US, pirate TV will not do so either. If more people had access to multicast streams, it would be very easy to set up dissenting sources of media, but that isn't going to happen.
Oh, I disagree. p2p radio of today (e.g. peercast) will be p2p video of tomorrow.
Just don't do what I occassionally do: lpr blah.pdf.
Personally I'd like a working "STOP YOU FUCKING BASTARD BOX FROM HELL"-button. Whenever I print something I don't want to (like: garbage) it takes ages to stop the damn thing. Button-pushing never works. And even when I turn it off AND do the lprm - dance (why does that take so long anyways?) it sometimes picks up printing again after turned back on.
I have yet to find a printer that will actually STOP when I tell it to.

Take care with the "I'm feeling lucky!" button though.
You might be hitting IBM...
Trick? Can any sysadmin even exist without this?!
The occassional ci -l important.conf has saved my ass more than once.
Ummm. Cough. You know, there's this other OS that does everything you want.
Why do you stick with software that doesn't work the way you want?

ha!
your story reminds me of don't shave down there.
What if the two twins are in fact Schrödinger cats?
i think one of these ipod socks goes for $50...
Congratulations, you have just reinvented usenet...
Under US jurisdiction it depends.
Are you a member of congress?
Gentlemen, can you please stop the Ford Mustang analogies.
Please do realize that the issue at hand can not be compared to anything involving a car.
Thanks.

2.6 has been one big regression fest

Well, check your hardware and read the docs.
Many ppl are running 2.4 and 2.6 quite successfully even under extreme load.
"kswapd eating up most of the CPU" sounds like you have an OOM condition.
memory leak?
Well, I did and maybe my statement was a bit harsh.
In fact Linux either beats or is on par with BSD in all those benchmarks.
Happy now?

If anyone cares, here's a (good!) review.
Ha! I thought the same thing.
You could also make a nice hang-man with the used letters disappearing.
Possibilities for (useless) hacks seem endless.
