Somehow, the fact that the store has high crime is not this guy, nor anybody else who is a "Shopper"'s problem. The store needs to work on having more eyes on the floor and fewer assholes at the door.
I am not imposing anything. They can use whatever they wish. They are the ones stuck as a result of it. There is flexibility in an OS that can be made to do almost anything you wish. I still think a GUI has a lot of merit, but to say that the OS is broken without one is a childish and uneducated way of thinking. The point being made is that not every task needs all the same tools.
In the case of Windows, the GUI is not merely a graphical shell. It is an integral part of the OS. You cannot (except in the case of newer and much older versions) install JUST the kernel and userspace sans the GUI.
As I said before, the GUI is not the OS with Linux. Not everybody is a neophyte and some choose simply to NOT install the GUI or to simply turn it off when it is not being used. Stop assuming the lowest common denominator always applies.
You have gotten too accustomed to having to do things in a GUI to realize that it is about flexibility and choice. With Microsoft (their new server offering and DOS notwithstanding) you do not not have that option. In order to us their OS you need the GUI.
Yes to most of the unaccustomed, an OS without a GUI or with a misconfigured GUI means it is broken, in that THEY cannot use it. That is not the case, however. They should know that it is not broken, is likely easily fixable (relatively, meaning they don't have to nuke and format, lose everything, etc). Linux is flexible. It is not just a desktop OS. It works on servers, set top boxes, pdas, etc. GUIs are purely optional
It is not all about usability by everybody. The OS is complete without a GUI. To say that a GUI must be present for it to be an OS is just simply WRONG!.
Plus, not every linux install is going to be to Grandma's computer.
Please learn what an operating system is. You don't know what you are talking about. The machine is functional without a GUI. You can do nearly everything without a GUI that you can do with a GUI. Some things are even substantially faster at the command line.
The difference is, that Windows does NOT exist without the GUI and Linux does.
The law is too far reaching in this case. They should not be forced to bear an onerous and ridiculous burden. Could you imagine a similar situation where anything you come across must be kept? The law can force discovery of specific things. This is unjust.
Except it is nothing like post its. It is more like you are using an etch a sketch to do your accounting and every new calculation, you shake it. Now you are required to write everything down.
Worse yet, what about a digital calculator.....you can't use one. You need to have one that prints out, etc.
From the reference itself " Software IOTLB -- Intel® EM64T does not support an IOMMU in hardware while AMD64 processors do. This means that physical addresses above 4GB (32 bits) cannot reliably be the source or destination of DMA operations. Therefore, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 2 kernel "bounces" all DMA operations to or from physical addresses above 4GB to buffers that the kernel pre-allocated below 4GB at boot time. This is likely to result in lower performance for IO-intensive workloads for Intel® EM64T as compared to AMD64 processors.
Lack of 3DNow!(TM) instructions: -- Intel® EM64T does not recognize the prefetch and prefetchw instructions while AMD64 processors do. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 2 kernel excludes these instructions in both C and assembly language code and therefore will suffer a small amount of performance degradation."
No, this is not regarding PAE. PAE should be irrelevant with 64bit extensions since it should be able to address over 32bits worth of RAM. PAE was for older generation processors. The issue is that the EM64T spec does not change the addressable amounts of RAM. I wish I had the link from Red Hat about the kernel hacks that were needed to make it work.
By the way, you do not need pointers to address memory, and what I had stated was that in order to address higher than 4GB of RAM, the EM64T chips have a kludge that remaps the higher memory to lower memory via pointers.
Technically correct and wrong at the same time. EM64T has a kludge in the way that memory is addressed. The EM64T chips cannot access memory above 4GB without using pointers.
The box that contains a router.......sold as......the router. Don't be a pedantic douche. Just because a drill has a flashlight built into the handle so you can see better doesn't make it NOT part of the drill. You can argue that the motor of the drill and the chuck have nothing to do with the flashlight, but it is still part of that drill.
YES, why should we support a company that is spending lots of time and money in making the things you use (Linux/FOSS)better. We should definitely not use ANYTHING from Novell...../sarcasm.
How is it possible they have 1 PCI controller when they have PCI Express and PCI X? The T2000 server has multiple slots and at least 2 controllers. I could throw the extra 4 port GigE on the PCI X slot and fibre channel on the PCIe.
However, I still don't plan on going T2000. The Niagara 2 should be a different platform and it will be interesting to see how that pans out.
Not "ports" but controllers. The controller for (2) 10GbE ethernet is built into the chip itself, so you don't have to go to an off chip device to control them.
I have been actively interested in the T1 and T2 series for a while. Currently, my backup server at work is a v880 (Sparc III) with 8 GigE interfaces. I could replace it, and get more throughput from a T2000, but the issue was doing restores would lose that edge from poor single thread performance
The Niagara 2 series is set to have 1.4X the single thread performance, plus the higher simultaneous threads (Though a slightly longer pipeline).
Since I am moving away from tape and going to Virtual Tape Library tech, I won't be constrained by how many backups I can do and avoid over multiplexing. I plan on doing 24-32 (or even more) simultaneous backups to virtual tape drives without skipping a beat. The only thing then will be keeping the network from being over-saturated. Don't have any 10Gbe switches in house yet, but that can't be too far off. I'd likely put in 2 4 port 1Gbe cards and pump them like no tomorrow. I'm getting about 20-30MB/sec from each machine, so assuming 140MB/sec on a GigE port, and 8 of them, I can handle over 1100MB/sec, but doing 32 backups would be about 950MB/sec. It is close, but should work.
My gripe, albeit a small one, is that they chose a generic drive (a hard drive, too) to be used as any drive. In this case, the floppy drive is represented by a hard disk drive. That just looks.....amateurish. If it can tell it is an fd device instead of an hd or sd device, they should treat it as such and have a 2nd icon.

No, touching someone is technically BATTERY not assault. Assault is the threat of an action. Battery is the unlawful touching of another person.
I simplified the fucking explanation due to being tired, sue me.

You mean Red Flag Linux, perhaps? I would venture to guess it comes from the fact that they plan on selling these in the US and the EU.

New evidence supports that in a "friendly" (Moist environment, preferably with some bodily fluids present) the virus can survive many hours.
