The twist would weaken the belt considerably. So would the bending back and forth. And getting the pulleys involved at the angles necessary to keep the belt from rubbing sounds like a mechanical nightmare.
There are limits. Running more VM's on a CPU costs power, and makes that physical device a single point of failure for multiple environments. Balancing such environments turns out to be much, much trickier than a lot of people like to admit: the very clever and sophisticated software to swap around live environments or do load balancing becomes its _own_ point of failure, bringing down entire racks of equipment in intermittent or even complete failures.
And yes, I've had this happen with servers with "five nines" uptime lauded and promised but somehow, never actually written into the contract. It would have been a lot cheaper to simply do a regular backup schedule and have a second rack of more capable, cheaper, failover equipment.
I don't see why you assume this. For many of us, correcting our boss's errors in judgement is not only part of our role, it's protecting the company and our own jobs.
Microsoft apparently saw this as a way to patent manage increasing Linux compatibility, especially that core Samba developer, Jeremy Allison. And you know what? Even though the deal has failed, it worked to slow down Jeremy Allison and his work by driving him away from Novell. So to Microsoft, it was probably worth the money they've wasted.
Or airport fingerprint scanning. Using 10 fingers, rather than just one, should help make the "Gummie finger" forgery technique somewhat more difficult. (Previously discussed on Slashdot, and in articles such as http://news.cnet.com/2100-1001-915580.html) Basically, fingerprint scanners are _all_ easily misled by fingertips made of gelatin with the fake print overlaid on them. The necessary tools are vaguely decent copies of the victim's fingerprint, such as those from police files, a printer, a bowl of gelatin, and some skill with a knife.
But fingerprint forgery turns out not to be that difficult, especially against automated systems that have to auto-correlate such semi-random shapes.
That's odd. All the webpages I create work just fine with flat text, maybe a.css file to capture the style, and no dancing bears of any kind. Keeping the silly behavior on the server side makes them vastly more robust, handicapped accessible to people with text->speech needs or with large typeface needs, and generally keeps their bandwidth and support requirements way, way, way down.
For UI's, I'm afraid you're correct. For backup integration, it's further along because it's a faster and more effective tool for local repositories. Tortoisegit wastn't stable the last time I looked: I'm looking forward to it.
But this is a back-end integration use for LaTeX. That shounds like the sort of backend and use it's built for.
You apparently didn't carefully read what I wrote. "Subversion is awful for detached work: ". If you lack 24x7 access to the Subversion repository, you can't record your changes locally. Couple that with the UNIX clients for Subversion storing your HTTPS or SSH passwords in cleartext, and you have serious issues for detached work.
For local work where you have direct on-line access, Subversion is fine, and addresses most of the flaws of CVS (except for that password storage problem). TortoiseSVN is great: I wish git's gui's were a fraction as usable.
People who want to install 500 clients and have the management tools handed to them in a set, rather than hand-writing their own? People who need half a dozen servers and someone upstream they can whine to when they need a kernel patch to run new hardware, and get the patch provided pre-release? People who want their bug fixes to show up in the next official release? People who couple the base OS to other commercial services, like VMware? (Although CentOS operates just fine to replace the underlyinkg components of VMware ESX: I've done it as a proof of concept.)
Do you mean you have your local repository on your local machine? Yes, that can work, locally. Now publish your changes to a central repository with backup, or vetted by the release master, with the change history. The results are fragile and usually not good.
Subversion is awful for detached work: it must speak to the server to record changes. CVS is no better. git could work, since each person's local copy is a full working repository. It is also terrible about allowing you to flush accidentally recorded debris, or out-of-date branches that have had their files copied elsewhere. It is also about tracking changes from another repository, with their history.
Frankly, Subversion needs to be entirely discarded except for those few projects that are like CVS and where the master server is critical for the 'trunk' codeline.
You're wrong on both counts. Look up BNP on Wikipedia: if that's not British Nazis, it's only because they have far less capable and charismatic leadership. And in the same article, it points out that police have faced dismissal for being members of the BNP since 2004.
It's also potentially massively, massively destructive. Look at the history of the Morris Worm to see how a 'benign' worm, designed to report on security vulnerabilities, can do massive damage worldwide.
I remember that Boston incident: it wasn't a Lite-Brite, it was a hand-built blinking widget clipped to her sweatshirt with wires and things sticking out of it. (Picture at http://hackaday.com/2008/09/19/boston-led-sweatshirt-arrestee-interviewed/). She also was holding something made out of clay in her hand (as it turned out, a rose sculpture). In this day and age, it's very understandable to think "holy cow, idiot terrorist with plastique!!!!". And some of us are old enough to remember when American college kids did noticeable amounts of poorly targeted anti-war violence. (I'm old enough to remember the Weathermen, and Patty Hearst.)
So the security response there was perhaps excessive, but understandable. Please actually do a bit of research before claiming that something was wildly out of line.
Or he could list 'Nazi'. This is not a classic 'Godwin' statement: a number of British police were revealed to be members of the 'British National Party' when a membership list was revealed on Wikileaks (http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2008/nov/19/bnp-list). That's the Nazi party of the UK, and it's illegal for police to be members of it.
Wikileaks is wonderful for publishing criminal or abusive facts that 'those with the secret privilege' would like to never see revealed, and I applaud their work.
ext3 used to work reasonably well for such short-term operations. The change is profound, and noticeable. They're whining because Ted, understandably, didn't give them fries with their Happy Meal, and gave them the "fruit pouch" of better write performance.
Why not send it out to be engraved on stone tablets while you're at it? I overstate, but for filesystems that get a lot of small writes, the '-o sync' introduces a very serious performance hit.
And yet, thee is a way to add it quickly to a domain. The system-config-authentication tool for RHEL does so quite wall: it does require someone with Windows admin privileges to use a password, but this is generally the case for any new Active Domain members.
Seriously, first define whether you're locking down the OS itself to a standard configuration, or doing access control (or both).
Second, save yourself one hell of a lot of licensing costs by using CentOS, which admittedly parasites off of RedHat's server efforts but is in fact considerably easier to manage.
It does sound like anyone bored by the meeting should be running their Lotus Notes in VMware. I run Windows in virtualization anyway, to stabilize hardware interactions with my desktop and laptop.
Rent is expensive. And security, especially shoplifting and employee theft, is a _bitch_ for inner city stores that carry valuable personal items, like TV's and phone cards.
There's a big difference between the two, at least in the US. Drug crime has a large set of automatic prison sentences, and property confiscation laws. DVD copying is a much, much smaller offense, and can even have a hope of being disguised as "legitmate business". The same applies to gun running or funding opposing political groups (whether they're terrorists, freedom fighters, liberators, or 'devoutly religious').
Note that, like buying lottery tickets from winners, selling pirated movies and music and software doesn't have to be profitable. It can be used for money laundering, which used to be a huge need for groups like the IRA and Al Queda, both of which relied on political contributions for their political causes. The IRA collected quite a lot of money from expatriates in the USA and throughout the UK: Al Queda gathers plenty of its funding from Saudi Arabian contributors, like Osama Bin Laden himself.

I only go by Blockbuster to see if there's anything I want in the $5 used DVD bin out front. Sometimes there's an old movie I'd like.
