I have a fifty odd year old book I bought second hand recently. It has one or two holes in it where it got torn up pretty badly. However, I can still read it. I probably couldn't say the same thing about a fifty year old computer text file, as it would pre-date ASCII and likely be written on some old format like a punch card, so I'd probably need to buy some specialist hardware like a punch card reader, then write a program to translate the data into a modern format.
I know some 50 year olds who could read that punchcard for you...
There have been too many reports in the last couple of months of people whose machines have lost power, and booted up, only to find that every file on their XFS filesystems has been filled with zeroes.
i cannot see why the filesystem would be zeroed, perhaps a while, which would make sense, since a open(), seek(), write(), close() can result in a file full of zeros, if only part of it is written then that makes perfect sense.
are there any documents or reports of the file system being zeroed? i've never had a problem with it in the years i've been using it as my primary file system.
openbsd is becomming a better network os than the others. depends what you mean by dying. stats can show whatever, but for most people they use bsd's at the firewall level and put services on the hosts behind it. other people use bsd all over the place, but with recent desktop improvements on gnome/kde etc people are moving towards the linux desktop. there are other features too such as brilliant package management which makes distros like debian and rh far less maintenance.
fwiw, openbsd is growing, bgp/ospf are now part of the default install and it's very attractive for network ops, oh and chroot apache is a good move also.
if bsd kernels had a strong drive behind them like ltorvalds then perhaps they would have better device support.
The people who deal with domains day in and day out will know what spam hits the tech/admin contact details. Be sure that ICANN support staff will suffer from this... But doesn't the judge realise that his mail box is partly being protected by RBLs?
There might be positions available at the moment, but it cannot last. There is such a baby boom in India that they will shortly see the problem in Britian currently where the OAP's outnumber the youth, thus pentions is in a crisis. Once the baby boom generation in India reach similar age there will be a problem. It's not going to happen for a while.
This thread is seriously making me reminisce when/. had more quality posts and you were more likely to run into actually informative/insightful posts than everybody trying to make a one line joke. (mod Funny)
I think it's because/. came out when spam became profitable on newsgroups/maillists aroud the same time,/. was spamfree. Those looking for good information probably came here, if they happened to know about it.
BTW, I too was a modem user, did you ever hang on rusty n eddies?
If you think the Visual Studio is a good environment there is no hope for you.
Stuff your arrogance where the sun doesn't shine. ...
I do develop for Linux, too, and it constantly bugs me that I have to switch to the shell, type make/scons/whatever, see the error output, switch back to the editor, look for the file in the file requester, open it, switch back to see the exact error, switch back to the editor.... vi and emacs are damn confusing, gvim is ok, but doesn't have a file overview panel like VS has.
You sir are arrogant. Just type ":make" from vi/vim to run your make script. With output matching you get the same end result that you get from your bloated IDE, but as you already know, vim is a lot faster and lightweight in comparison.
I've only ever programmed with a GUI on Windows -- and I have to admit that I find Dev Studio to be one of the few programs that Microsoft seems to have gotten (nearly) right.
1. Patent the inks.
2. Patent a process to compare competing inks for patent violations.
3. Patent a process for extracting money from competitors for patent violations.
4. Piss off all of your customers.
5. Profit?
You forgot 0.5 patent the process for creating ink patents and 5.5 patent the process of profit from ink patents.
Novel/SuSE, Sun(open-ish), IBM are doing a bit for the opensores also. Don't forget companies which make their money/from/ open source, such as openadvantage.
Ubuntu is a company also, is it not, didn't M Shuttleworth make his money from selling books about open source and had enough left to form the Cannonical company?
It's not so bad, while we have choice to go and buy books which are clean of adverts, and it's not like the text book is the ONLY source of information for these students. I firmly believe that marketing scum should be shut down like this. It really is just shoving their cock down the throats of students.
Whatever the precentage is, it's going to be higher than that which use cscript/bat/vbs. Java is probably used a little more though. I just think that MS should include things that people actually use, from an admin perspective.
I wonder if they're going to go for a school biased distro, although I don't suppose it will matter. Would their choice then lead to other bigger and better things such as using Linux at the firewall/router level also? I'm sure they'd want to use squid. It'd be very nice to see India become a linux house. I better brush up on my Indian though.

what about a shared pr0n collection with afs?
are there any documents or reports of the file system being zeroed? i've never had a problem with it in the years i've been using it as my primary file system.

why not move to xfs? it's a very good performance file system. unless there a rumours of the author being a murderer of course.

America is the world police. They want something done elsewhere in the world, they have it done through the UK.
They can do what they want if the registrar's offices are in USA. The data is stored on a hard disk in the USA then the court can sieze it.

All us brits use public proxies anyways. Nothing to see. We can all read about it in the papers tomorrow.

It's not too clever, it's just being a pain in the ass. They had a print view link, so I copied and submitted it without looking at it.
It's just a javascript form submit. If I could put HTML forms on here I would do that, just like they did... Anyway, my bad.
mod parent down. my bad, doesnt work.

So, does anyone know how to get the video file from youtube? I hate to think they might some day remove this content from their site.
