I'd love them to have a donate or subscription option just to ensure they keep on keeping on. The text only nature of it all makes it sustain-ably cheap to run on cloud and free to users I guess!
Our CTO exists only to dash madly toward the next shiny thing to appear in tech news. This allows the company to save costs as we're not able to implement anything at all as a result. The old stuff just keeps chugging away doing the job whilst the next new shiny sucks up any free cash/resources that might have gone into updating or improving the existing infrastructure. The business is still under the impression the CTO is doing them a favour because they only interact with IT via him at levels high enough to see change. When it all comes tumbling down we expect to see outsourcing (ala cloud) trotted about to save the day, until of course it doesn't and costs quadruple, again, just like last time. I think I've been here too long omg...

Have it email your password if you don't respond to a few checks in a few months. In lieu of the password, enough clues for family to reconstruct it if you're worried about these guys seeing it should do the trick. E.g First pet name + second pet name + wedding anniversary + favourite color etc etc.
Mod parent up already! That link is very useful. Its a shame opting out of Unity is not a simple button but I guess they want to channel people into trying it and hopefully adopting. Now at least I know what to search for on the forums for other options "gnome-panel" here I come...
I'm amazed someone hasn't organized a Survivalist Cruise Ship of some sort and loaded the boat up with a bunch of trigger happy types who will pay hard cash for a chance to be shot at and return in kind (and then some).
A few innocent looking luxury ships that suddenly bristle with well armed "sports fishermen" itching to test out various high-powered ballistics would no doubt go a long way towards curbing the problem in a pay-for-itself kind of way.
Insurance would be an issue, but perhaps at this rate it already is if you say where you're planning on sailing. Perhaps a deal could be cut there anyway given how beneficial the insurers may see this activity...
The problem with Nokia is that their customer is my Telco, not me.
Apples customer is me.
My Nokia E51 is skinned with the Telco's branding and for a non-techie is pretty hard to remove. It's menu/button arrangement results in me spending money/credit with my Telco if I hit the general "exit" button one time to many getting out of the sub-menus.
It still crashes after a few days and won't show the main menu until after a reboot. Is there a firmware update? Probably, if I go hunting for it. Have Apple been auto-distributing firmware updates since day one? Yes.
The infrastructure is not only provided by Apple to do so, but it's slanted towards the customer not the Telco in what it delivers.
Throw in the infrastructure in place in Apple OS and their willingness to let any application use that infrastructure.
An address book in windows that all apps can interact with because they know it will always be there and comply with a set standard? Hell no, Microsoft Only ftw!
Apple isn't reliant on competing over software so they leave the welcome mat out.
I was wondering how Cacti relates to Nagios. Do the both do the same job or compliment one-another? In four words the post you're complaining about answered that question nicely.
I usually recommend friends spend the extra AU$40 and go for 4GB even though they're running XP. It'll make the improvement that much more pronounced when I throw Ubuntu on there a year or two when XP becomes (more) unusable.
Strange, no hits here searching for McAfee, that's usually the source of sudden performance issues on any machine I've had the misfortune to be running it on...
I'm happy with the skill system, it's like grinding without actually needing to be there. Yes it takes time and yes older players have way more options, but new players can do quite well if you just focus and do your research.
I've started another account so I have another toon to lug ore around, I figured what the hell and set him up with the basics for a Drake. Those suckers really pack an obscene tank and he could drive it in just under 1 month (incl basic learning skills), really rock with it at 2 months. Now at 3 months I'm polishing up his missile skills to 4. Now both mains can fly drakes and really do well through the level 4's without much trouble.
It's also a bonus I can play eve dual screen, 1 session/screen, in Ubuntu and have finally removed the need to keep winxp around anymore.
To say I "was" a dedicated palm user would have been an understatement. My commitment to the platform revolves around the huge amount of data I have have in it. 2400+ addresses and 2400+ memos. Unfortunately that's the problem for me these days. I need a search engine and/or cross linking for it to remain useful.
Palm have been standing still (if not walking backwards) for at least the last 5 years. It's a credit to their original product and thinking that's kept it going this long.
I'll migrate the data into a wiki and move to the first hand-held PDA that lets me view/edit it either on the device or remotely off a website. Any ideas on one that does that yet out there?
Sage here in Australia is alive and vigorously kicking thanks in no small part to a dedicated group of individuals who keep it ticking along very efficiently.
I recommend this annoyingly named book, which is an excellent cover-all on this and related subjects. Really did join the dots for me many years ago and it looks like it's now in its 2nd edition.
The catch with CUOD or Configurable Upgrade On Demand (which I lovingly refer to as Cough Up Or Die) is that you pay roughly 10% down on the extra hardware when you order the machine.
It's vital that you stipulate in the contract that you will pay market adjusted rates to enable the remaining unused capacity. Otherwise you could end up paying near the original price for gear that is several years old.
There are also some interesting ramifications if you source/sell the gear from/to the second hand reseller market.
In the case of pSeries IBM servers it made sense to IBM as (for example) they can sell a machine with 1 cpu when physically the minimum they can provide it with is 4 due to the internal design of cpu/memory/cache.
Doh, I'm just starting #11 after a long break from the series. Given the amount of story arcs is something akin to the weaves in world-gating I really hope those notes are detailed!
I agree the plot did seem to grind to a halt around #8 and #9 but he did start working through the huge to-do list in #10 (hopefully also in #11).
Despite the various failings in the speed of the books, I am delighted with the fantasy world he created and the impress depth and detail he gave it.
I picked a Motorola Motofone F3 up here in Australia on Ebay locally.
It is locked for a local network (Optus) but otherwise works fine and fit the bill for the mate of mine who wanted it.
The battery life is excellent due to the completely basic nature of the device and the eInk display.
Speaking of the display it's very large (unfortunately it appears to be a fixed character size) display makes it easy for elderly users to make out the text in all lighting conditions.
I can happily recommend this phone for those who just want to make calls with a maximum of battery life.
I'm getting confused too given the discussion on licensing around ODF.
At the end of the day I'd like to see a document format that is:
- Neutral i.e unencumbered by patents and licensing that try to give advantage to one or a small number of business parties.
- Able to deal with a reasonable subset of the features available today across the variety of word processors available.
- Able to be extended after a review and submission process allowing all interested parties to contribute.
- Ensures backward compatibility with older versions of the standard to ensure readability now and in the future.
The bottom one being the most important to me.
If your countries' constitution is distributed in this format it should remain readable by future generations unencumbered by licensing, patents, DRM or other obstacles designed to restrict usage to one vendor's software.
People here appear to say that ODF does not fulfill these objectives, anyone care to comment on which ones and why?

One option I'm reviewing at the moment is Pandora FMS
http://pandora.sourceforge.net/
Not bad and there's a pre-built vm you can download to quickly give it a go.

Perhaps this is just the marketing spin renaming of the failed subliminal message implant feature...
At least, I hope it's failed... :)
