Its intersting, reading your post made me think about my own viewing habits. I certainly pay for cable every month, but my tv viewing is limited to DS9 (never saw it before), cooking shows (good eats mainly), and Angel.
I am watching effectivly long plot driven stories (Angel moreso than DS9), and cooking shows which really makes more sense than learning cooking out of a book.
Also of note is that I don't watch commercials. I have a mythtv box, and the commercial skip is worth the 500-600 dollars I spent on it.
Think about it, thats now what google does. Google takes tried and true web technologies (search, mail, maps, news) and then makes the lots better in terms of ease of use and functionality.
Think about it - I had a yahoo mail account years before gmail even was started, yet gmail kicks yahoo's interface up and down the block. Same with google's search. There were lots of search engines out there that did an adequate job, they weren't breaking new ground when they made theirs, even if it returned better results. Again, same with maps, just that the interface is SO much better than mapquest or equivilant.
I will grant that news is a 'new' thing, even though all the content was already out there, and it is just aggregated. How it does that is cool, as is the google suggest thing, thats a really cool use of technology.
Basically what I'm saying is that google doesn't always innovate, they focus more on the ease of use rather than on the 'new hotness'
Sorry to be shilling for the company I work for, but we can do exactly what you need. Indicative Service Directory can collect constant data, but then only upload to the central collection server once a day, or even less frequently if desired.
Depending on what you are doing, but for that size of deployment, give Indicative a call/email.
I do testing for them, and we really do have a very cool system going. We monitor the systems, the network, and the applications. We have pre-defined tests for almost anything you could think of from simple http tests to fancier cisco router tests, to perfmon integration. We monitor Weblogic and Websphere, and soon are going to be able to monitor other app servers as well.
So ya, give us a call and inquire about how we can set you up. This is by far the easiest product to use in the monitoring field.
Have the scientists concidered that maybe its just a stage 3 civilization that's getting ready to pWn us?
Maybe its just a bunch of Matrioshka brains...
Or just wussy dyson shells....
I am taking a class right now focusing on Linux C++. As far as I can tell, C++ is rather standardized (nowhere near Java though...).
The things that are standard are the basic syntax and structure (declaring variables/classes/everything). The other thing that is standard is the STL and a few standard functions left over from the C days.
The things that aren't standard are the system libraries. So in windows when you use MFC and similar (I don't program windows, don't jump on me about windows junk), or in linux when you program against GTK, or QT, you need those libraries in Windows. Similarly, if you wanted to compile windows apps in linux, you'd need those windows libraries. The problem being that you can't get windows libraries in linux.
Wine tries to provide those libraries to already compiled programs so that they can run, but honestly it isn't very good for anything non-standard (but definatly getting better by the day!).
Hope this clears up the universe and shown you how programming windows via windows apis is a bad idea in terms of portabilty.
You are 90% of the way there. You use almost all open source software (short of the security stuff).
Switching to linux for you isn't necessarily the thing to do if the system you have right now works fast with no interuptions/pauses and doesn't crash. I doubt you would notice much difference if you did an install of Fedora, all the same programs would be there, gaim, firefox, thunderbird...all FOSS.
For some people, the switch really wouldn't bring them anything. Its the people who do what you do, but instead use IE, Outlook, Aim (with WeatherBug!). They are the ones having their computers crippled by spyware and viruses. They are the ones that benefit by a usable Linux Desktop.
Both of my brothers in high school have gone through beginning python class. Just to let you know, your idea is reality at least somewhat (Fort Collins, CO)
You're wrong, they don't count viewers either, except through Nielsen ratings, which would actually seem to account for torrent watching (not that there are any commercials left) via the survey method of data collection.
Obviously, the solution: be smart and identify problems early, and solve them early, but publicly identify and show the problem at the last minute, go back to your cube, read slashdot for 3 hours, and then check in the new code and claim your raise/vacation time/complimentary release t-shirt.
Because I have an ipod and I love it and just put music on it. But when I'm at home, I want to listen to music on my linux media center. As soon as itunes comes to linux, I'll stop cracking my downloads.
Or, let me propose another way of looking at things. I am horrified at what happened over in asia, and have given the money that I can (being a relativly poor college student, a few hours of work worth). I have done what I can.
Now, do you expect me to now spend 24/7 mourning the loss of those people. Maybe a second a piece? How about I just move on, and know that I've done what I can.
Moral of the story: don't question people's motives when you have NO idea whats going on.
Not as far as I know. It is anti cheat software supported by such big games as America's Army and others.
What it does: scans the harddrive/memory checking for known hacks and cheats. If it detects something, it tells the game server you're connected to, and the server kicks you off. It also updates itself with new cheat definitions (think virus definitions...)
Also note: for 25,000 dollars, you can buy your company a nice intern or 2 at a very good salary who will do your bidding. I mean, 2 interns working 15 hours a week each at $16/hr = just under 25,000 dollars. What a deal, now you have tech monkies who do your work instead of microsoft taking 25000 dollars.
Sounds like a plan to me.
isn't it recommended you have 2x ram as your swap? so that'd be *does difficult calculations in head* 26TB of swap. You really don't want the kernel killing off processes because you run out of ram....that'd be bad.
I go to Colorado State University (Computer Science of course) and I live in the dorms (well... a single dorm room I guess). Anyways, back to topic - they offered for everybody to buy wind power at $17/year. They buy enough wind power to power an average dorm room (I should have bought 40 bucks worth because I have more than 1 car in here) and dump it into the general power the university buys.
I did it, and it gives me a little bit of warm fuzzyness.
You do realize fraud is still illegal under a "perfect" libertarian government. Companies are not allowed to lie in order to make a buck. (especially on finacials)
Wow, what a crappy site. Almost all the stories are about Kerry's vietnam record. I know that I don't care. There is a little bit more to presidency than what you did during a war 30 years ago. Speaking of which, didn't Bush (of the appropriate age at the time) not go at all?
This site is nothing more than propaganda (not that I think Kerry is a saint) and on one topic. If they wanted to be influential in my mind, they would have some stories that don't revolve around medals and enemy fire.

Well, they sure didn't hire me for my english skills...
And it really is a good piece of software.

As long as the monkey doesn't have a nipple fetish I think we'll be fine.

Well, the website name is www.colostate.edu (because colorado.edu is CU in boulder, those bastards)

Ya, just like the electric cars still use gas, you don't want 100% conversion heat->electricity, but 10% > 0%
