  1. Re:Solaris Vs Linux? on Solaris 10 to be Open Source · · Score: 1

    A properly installed and secured solaris server is (at least) as safe as any properly installed and secured linux box.

    sigh

    That is why you have a support contract !
    Sunsupport will solve a problem like that.

    Not exactly what you are looking for but it will give you a clue how much performance an upgrade will give. Digging further back in the archive to say 2001 might be even better.

  5. Re:Inflexibility on Military Develops Liquid Body Armor · · Score: 1

    Yes indeed shrapnel "proof" vests ar hell when its warm and/or you need to be agile.
    They are rather nice when you can just sit down lean your head on the collar and sleep for 5 minutes though,
    or when you dive for cover and land on something sharp and pointy.
    How the actually work when somebody pounds you with a mortar Im happily unaware of.

  7. bottom of the ladder on The Unhappy World of IT Professionals · · Score: 1

    What is lacking in IT is rank and respect
    You can be the company expert responsible for e.g managing routers
    What breaks our roter admin is not the responsibility for managing said routers,
    the kill factor is being caucht in the corridor blamed for paperjams, held responsible for consecvenses of users actions e.t.c
    IT simply the youngest child in the company hiarchy

  8. Re:This only works with poorly designed ATMs on Visual Autopsy Of An ATM Card Skimmer · · Score: 1

    here in Sweden some atm have 3 small spikes ( in different sizes) in a randomized pattern around the card slot to prevent the possibility to attach an external card reader.

    Well attaching something is probably still possible but then you will not see the spikes so it will make fraud harder.

  9. with this, or similar on Good Demo System For A High-Bandwidth Link? · · Score: 1

    http://www.hds.com/products_services/storage_syste ms/enterprise_storage/
    It can handle a lot of FC ports, and it has a lot of controllers who can handle many, many disks and it has the internal bandwith to handle it
    800MB/s from cache / controller
    10,6GB/s internal aggregated Bw
    EMC has similar rigs http://www.emc.com/products/systems/DMX_series.jsp

  10. one size doesnt fit all on Integrated Pocket PC, GPS and Laser Range Finder · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well yes and no, depending of type of surveying you are doing. I think that its impossible to find one handheld today that is an useful tool for all type of survey work. Most surveying use aerial photos as a base, unless they are corrections or add-ons to old maps, or based on magnetical, sonar, radar or other obscure methods. So photos taken by the survey man himselfs are often of interesting details, but 1024x768 seems low (even if it has good optics)
    Geological surveying
    -Soil, large screen needed, can be done from cars, editing directly onto map.
    -Bedrock or any large boulders what youre after you want good GPS accuray, easy data input (text) and a nice camera.
    -Chemical/water surveying, data input device with nice GPS.
    Economical
    -dGPS or better is needed.
    General factors
    -Precision, dGPS is an bonus in many cases but a must in few, good GPS reception will do in most cases ( few handheld/gps combos has that)
    -Price, most heavy duty, waterproof super handheld thingies cost 6x an ipaq with GPS...
    -Another tool

  11. Re:isn't this pointless? on 'Mouse-Tronaughts' to Test Low-Gravity in Space · · Score: 1

    maybe but its cheap, one could tweak their habitat so that they will have to adapt their behaviour, nasa has some real cool viodeos with mice ( or was it rats ) in zero g. I suspect that the point of the experiment is to see if the mice can keep their musclemass and bichemistry in working order, reproduction I guess would be a nice bonus
