Fat lot of good that did. Banning guns is like moving a Deer X-ing sign because you want the deer to cross elsewhere. It is stupid. Those who abide by laws will not have guns. Those who do not care about laws will still have them. This puts them at a disadvantage along with advertising to criminals that their prey is defenseless.
Places where gun ownership is encouraged have shown a decrease in violent crimes. The problem is not guns nor is it law abiding citizens. What we need is a ban on criminals.....
This isn't anything critical like fixing a problem with their DRM. This only hurts the end users, not anybody they are beholden to RIGHT NOW in order to attempt to become the supreme overlords of the livingroom, like they so desperately want to be.
He is a schill. dada21 often claims how he is some millionaire with these new concepts and ideas. I don't buy it. I think you should question it too. He sounds like a hired snake oil salesman.
Understand it is a propensity for these actions and not a guarantee that they will occur (unless you look at it from the point of view that a few will do so,when given the chance, out of a much larger whole.).
Why is it that people must assume that if there is an explanation for something, that it must shoehorn into every circumstance. Yes, there are very rich and powerful corrupt people. That is for a slightly different reason. I never did say that ALL cases of this type of behavior are linked to the relative inequality between classes/countries.
People want power. They want to be better than others. Tell them that they are and they will believe. This is not fiction, though it does not work in every case. It worked for the Nazis. Look for it elsewhere. The patterns don't have to be PERFECT matches, but they all seem to link up.
They don't break the law because they are poor. They are not poor, relative to their environment. They simply see "us" as being able to absorb a loss easily, or don't care because of jealousy or simply greed and desire. This is not native to India, Pakistan, Mumbaba, Detroit, or anywhere. This is part of human nature.
As far as rich people being crooked too, they are also doing it to "get ahead." Part of another psychological issue is the fact that many people have a hard time knowing when they have "enough." Whether it is wealth, power or anything, really, people have a hard time stopping. They want to be better than others, and then lastly better than they are now
When you pay someone a wage, that relative to those of the people they deal with, they will become angry and resentful. The point of moving offshore is to save costs because the cost of living is so low, making the wages low.
Thus, the people who know they are making a great deal less than people in the UK or US feel that they are doing this to equalize themselves. It is a psychological phenomenon. People don't just want to do well, they want to do better than others.
As well, my company has 2 servers running an Active/Passive Win2003 cluster for Exchange 2003 and have had no hardware failures at any point on these systems. We liked them so much, we went with an almost identical setup for our VMware project to consolodate all our old Netburst architecture servers to the AMD64 based servers running as VMs
Ok, here is why. You can run multiple versions of the same operating system to test various deployments of software. You can run various versions of various operating systems and sandbox them, as well as taking "Snapshots in time" so if you want to test out some link some friend (moron) sent you, you can snapshot your install, click..become infected...and roll back without worry.
You can also buy a decent server and actually UTILIZE it. It is better if you buy 2 or 3. That way you can run whatever OS you need (relatively) on that hardware and not have 8 or 9 servers running at 15% because the vendor of the application you are serving will not certify it running with any other piece of software on it.
You can also migrate in case of a failure, or just lift the server off the hardware without worry. Your company has HP Proliant 185s and the leases are up. They are buying 385s to replace them. You simply move the images to the new machine and start them. The process saves tons of time, uses less electricity than several boxes, and you can also do disaster recovery by backing up the images and storing them at an off site location. If a disaster takes out your data center, you fire up the copies at the co-location and are back in business.
But other than that and a few more things.......its just cool to have without any real benefit....
your math sounds like it is off. If you figure an average of about 25 miles per gallon (and it helps when dealing with hundreds), you will get 14x25 miles on those gallons of gasoline. That figures into you going 350 miles. Many cars do NOT get 25mpg as well as nobody running their care down to total fumes on a regular basis.
Some here still care. People like to believe the bed-time stories they are told (many are made up). I don't claim to have the answers to the problem. I just think that more people need to stop worrying about their shiny new car, or their plasma screen TV and worry about their fellow humans.
This means be a good neighbor. Watch out for each other, while at the same time, minding your own business (as long as nobody is getting hurt). Learn to protect yourself and those you care about. And, if you feel that you can do so and be RESPONSIBLE about it, get a gun, learn to use it and pray that you never have to.
I say that we give them a complimentary "Punch in the Neck." They are entitled to exactly one "Punch in the Neck" every time they step over someone, and think they are hot shit compared to the rest of us. We all come from the same place (relatively speaking). Nobody is above us all.

your "SIG" is funny. I prefer my CZ though :)
My sincere apologies to Rocky Horror fans.
Dude, that is such a ripoff. Saving oil that should by all belief run out by now and have it last longer? Mother-F'er that's Channukah

Doh, should have said "is lower, relative to"

You can have speed increases with mirrors (albeit they are read speed increases, not write speed increases).
Also, you will get redundancy and fault tolerance with striping if it is done with parity (ala RAID 5 or RAID 6)

So how, then, is this better than SuSE? SuSE has all this plus Novell behind it and people using it.
Glad to see another person saw that wonderful movie. I'm taking it back!!

Well Hello, Mr Cheney. I was wondering when you would arrive :)
Be thankful I had just finished my breakfast or it would be ALL OVER my monitor after that comment.
so CIFSMOUNT is not available to you in *nix?

But will it get blown up in a fight against the Wraith? I think it may have a chance to blow up all on its own thanks to our "Low Bidder" technology :)
Where did you get VMware Server 2?
"This man has no disk"
It was a great game (and a dumb one too) and I wish I still had the CDs
