Same goes for any other type of server, you just make sure that any non deterministic parts of your server calls are shared among the cluster. How you do this is up to you (memcached/database) just make sure it's 100% replicated.
Then when one machine stops doing what it's supposed to (or looks like it might), your heartbeat script writen for the occasion kicks in, rotates the offending machine out of the cluster and, if you really have the budget, rotates a spare into it's place which then syncs with the other machines and off you go.
For the first problem, the 'save settings' has been replaced by the profile system. When you modify the settings your actually changing the current profile, so that might explaine some things. Don't use profiles myself but there.
As for the terminal size, not to say but I can't see a use case for having a fixed size, and IIRC the 'save window size' thing is done outside the application, ie it's a standerd, probably window manager, thing.
I don't know if you realise, but you just used the words 'abuse' in regard to you interaction with the video game with the intention to cause 'terror'.
Your depiction of the actions in itself blurs the frontier between reality and virtuality.
You aren't 'moving pixels arround', that's what happens in tha game, but that isn't what you do when playing. When playing you provoke suffering and take pleisure from it.
Just for clarity, what is the supposed position of the monkey relative to the darts and the dartboard and can this arrangement constitute animal cruelty?
Where I work, we keep them forever. We don't have the volumes that the GP has (we handle 100G full backups monthly).
All Full backups are stored on an external disk, every 3 months the disk is changed, so nothing is ever erased.
Incrementals/Differentiels cope for changes during the month.
If you only noticed after 6 weeks that you screwed up, either your work was on the internal SVN Document repo, or you have to sort it out yourself by reverting to the last full.
For the GP, this kind of setup would run at 4*1TB Disks monthly, or at 2000EUR monthly. That's the cost of peace of mind.
No, if you work for 3 years on an album, you get 3 years wages, which you can then save/invest/buy land with.
And that land, which is a tangible asset, is yours forever, until you sell it.
Yes exactly, I'm sure that the Iranians know as well as you do that they deserve to have the bomb more than the US, after all it would only be for defensive perposes, and it's not like they've ever used one

A Company Wiki keeps track of often used Documentation, (Contact info, shopping lists, often used procédures), and a SVN Repository for everything else (project info, the weekly agenda (since we need to see older versions).
No I was suggesting sending them a read-only document, and have them email the changes back (page 3 paragraphe 4 change...)
And I never said the problem was only with the technologie, just that technology is very usefull in pre-empting this kind of stunt when used correctly.
A company where I worked got done over by this before I arrived.
They asked a client to look over a contact, and to put changes in red. The client only put some of the changes in red, and my company finished up paying half of the clients banking fees in the process. By the time this was discovered, it was to late to change the contract that had been already signed.
That's why sending changeable documents outside the company is a Bad Thing.
So the windows EULA that forbids resale of OEM licences only applies to me if I copy the software (ie use it). If I don't use it I can ebay my OEM windows licence? That would be good. Unfortunately the EULA's power over first sale doctrine has been upheld (at least in NYC IIRC). So ebaying it would land me in deep trouble. Why should the GPL be any different?
A Linux distributor (ie some who buys and sells CDs, not someone who copies them) is still bound by the GPL to send the source code to any one of his clients who asks for it. He can't just turn around and say:I won't do anything go search the net (OTOH, he can just send an email with links to the relevant sources, but he's on the hook in case one of them 404s).
BTW: Samba has already revoked a GPL licence, notably SCO's, this hasn't modified OSI's stance on the GPL so I can't see what revoking Novels licence to the gcc toolchaine and userland would change.
No, the terms said that they'd distribute Suse vouchers, in the same way that they distribute Certificats for their own software.
If I go to a finance company, and get a loan, or even some free cash for something (which is the case in your dell example), then the finance company is off the hook.
OTOH if the finance company says 'Hey, we've bought a load of vouchers, why don't you have some', then the finance company is selling on a product that they've already purchased, and hence are distributing.
Well mabey in the states it's different, but here if I give you a voucher for coffee/software/kite/whatever I'm as legally responsible as if I was distributing the item.
To touch a nerv, if I distributed a voucher for a free handgun to a minor in the US, shouldn't I get busted under the gun laws as if I had actually given him the gun?

But it does, it's called the placebo effect!

You do know that you can re-arrange your Amarok any way you want, don't you (yes you can even remove the central zone if that's your thing).

OK, I'm running 4.4rc so I might be able to help.

No, this means that 1/3 of your pay check goes to pay for roads, Iraq, Afganistan, Isreal, corp of engineers, water company, electric grid etc
Benefits only make up a tiny part of the whole
BTW, facile is french for easy, and isn't snooty at all :P
Other than that you're spot on.
Reference to the G[GG?]GP: I met my wife in the same way, we'd been out of touch, then an IM leads to phone calls and voila :).
This might just be the tipping point into investing in Rock Band 2 for the Wii.
Smart move in any case.

One word for you: inline
There, that takes care of your overhead.
If you need 15 variables passed, than you probably need to:
a) Regroup them into logical constructs
or
b) Ask yourself why your code is using 15 unrelated bits of data and clean your algo up.
Sorry, but there is no place (outside asm) that a goto should be used. It's just a bug waiting to happen.
Correction:
The reason Norton is on any PCs is because Norton pays PC companies to install it by default AND IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE.
Cleaning viruses off by hand is easier than uninstalling Norton.

At my company, we have a mixed approach.
A Company Wiki keeps track of often used Documentation, (Contact info, shopping lists, often used procédures), and a SVN Repository for everything else (project info, the weekly agenda (since we need to see older versions).
That keeps almost everything in check.
David
I don't know about that, 6 billion light years away seems pretty remote to me!

I'm not, I'm just saying that a read only format has advantages in a business context.

Let's just say we differ then since for me the one who enters the contract is just as guilty (if not more so) than the one who does the deed.

I never said they were, but what the GP was rabbling on about with voucher!=distribution doesn't apply. And that is what I was pointing out. David
