My work is in hosting and administrating a server and client farm. I am both web programmer, system integrator, linux guru, part time designer, programmer, electronicus and artist all-in-one. The list certainly doesn't stop there which makes it a science and me a system engineer. It's a continuesly going learning curve. I've got many books for many years about mail, dns, Apache, Perl, Bash, bibles which have helped me further for about 14 years active unix duty now. It's also a dedicated job where you need to accept overtime, when it's not working you will have to search till it works...
I like to do my work, and that's where the dedication starts to keep your serverfarm also working; liking to do it all, the challenge of getting and keeping it working, whenever it pops to have the stress and guts to get it working again over and over; rinse, leather, repeat; wether you'd be administrating a small or a big serverfarm, the time you put in it would be almost equally; if everything is set up with scripts on the back-end, easy managable or having a accounting officer, getting synched with a local disk through usb/network locally, you could handle from 5 till 100 servers...
All the system administrator has to do is keep his systems updated, tightly controlled; know networking ethics like firewalling with +1 systems, put the databases and websystems on a seperate interface (of the firewall) and stay updates with the newest trends, exploits and technologies to be protected and well from the (evil) internet and stay rendundant for their purpose.
For that purpose only someone on-site would be best for those systems and also someone who knows your internal networking system and resources; which is mostly private company information;) The system administrator can not be afraid of changes and implementations; as long as the management DOES follow and appreciate his ethics, dedication and corporate decisions needed to keep his systems up and running in the air.
The operating systems and social behavior sets a lot
I've chosen for Freebsd and linux, which are very high maintainable and advanced tweakable OS's (already working with since the early versions). If you got a very good system administrator, together with a team working together for a good system maintainability you got the best and smoothest running server farm on-site.
Wether on or off-site, be sure to make agreements with your ceo and/or employees about system integrity like programming perks, php scripts, perl bugs, injects, etc.. with the web programming team; how passwords get used; redundancy; system overusage, misusage, hacks and dealing with this. Keeping the clients clean keeps the network clean; keep the networks and clients clean and you will keep your servers (and customers/employees) happy too;)
why on-site is important?
Still, I would like to keep in mind, an on-site maintainer is the best option for a lot of options where you need local access to your systems with; either that or the required hardware and wiring to keep connected with your farm. Having an extra machine to see the entire overage status of the entire network, packet statistic monitoring and machine status can best be done with an external machine only listening with a RX to the network ; let it respond furtheron on a different interface so you can check your network with Nagios, bigbrother or any similar monitoring tool. MRTG has been working like a charm for many years here.
I've had needed several system restarts of not so needed machines which are "experimental" machines, working in development fases for new projects our tests; your system engineer will sure not like to be driving for that, to be on-site to perform such tests (atleast not without having the right equipment there to hardwire reboot)...
if that happens frequently and you change your batteries that long, replace your cellphone, I don't want to know how your household is doing but I do remember a scene of an entire Ikea house destroyed by an explosion (Fight Club)...
In Holland there is a product called Breaker, which is drinkable yoghurt with pits in it; although the first time I bought it I wanted to open the cap, and squeeze it, nothing came out. I remind you I was sitting in the car. I squeezed harder and suddenly *SPLETCH* all the yoghurt in my face, the car, the seats, the windows. Bad thing, almost nothing of the yoghurt was left after I gently squeezed it again...
A mule does not hit the same rock twice they say;)
A lot of people don't often say "thank you" when something has been done either, appreciation is only within themselves or as far as the arms can reach. Having appreciation of the quality what someone else can do (for you) is something badly valued...
It falls under exactly the same category; try to be happy there are still people like you and me caring about how science (can better) work(s) for you.
Do also mind almost all research which is sponsored by the government will have classified information towards the normal citizen; the corporate culture is being protected well as you can see with patents, laws and acts making a true innovation a lot more difficult in current society.
Experiments which could be against such corporate greed -- errrr sorry, typo: society/government (based on fear, propaganda and protecting the "homeland" for "diccidents who think dangerously against such society") could also stop such research if we, the normal people, don't keep ourself busy improving our own back yard...
I can only thank the parent poster for pushing forward this topic where you should really see this as an achievement of a young mind, where Einstein and lots others have been too when they where young before; not everyone can bake bread or create a Fusion Device (in a (fully) safe way, that's something I got my doubts about too) in his basement...
Still, Einstein lived in a time with other corporate ethics, when things in the mind couldn't be forbidden to think about unlawfully;)
Your version of your trycorder is just too big, telephones are smaller than ever, they already got small and micro dominated too. You better hail to your overlords defining what nano really is, else you won't get a nanostep further in this Star Trek universe where the primary directive might be a solution....
I think this news is exactly where it belongs, since it's also having mixed up opinions/feelings from slashdotters too. I rather want to see these reactions instead of seeing the news on a CNN/BBC site where the reactions come from anyone; not only people working/playing with technology.
You call that a inconvenience or a relief you can't visit a website without (A) protecting your ears or (B) turning the speakers down? I find it relaxing to know I can visit a website without smashing my brains out...
Although; it is because the RIAA wants to set a standard how they think music (artistic works) should be treated; they don't think about the middle-man or the end-user; they just care about what gets back to them and supposedly the creator; who is getting paid a cent from the cuts they take...
Maybe it's better to yell BOOOMB in a a crowded theater with your dick hanging out of your pants ; that way you will get more reaction for sure and it might not be even a lie..

I've got sued by a bank called the Zurcher Kantonal Bank because its letters are also in the nickname "zkboi". The bank ordered me to take down my website; together with a heavy fine charged per day, because I was destroying "their image". While the website had nothing to do with the financial sector and does only contain my diary and articles about things I care about on the world; they still managed to win the case, even when they have registered their trademark -after- when I've started using my nickname on the net.
The next step would have been giving my domain to them; or being pulled out by the Internet registry. It's already possible, nothing new here, the ones with the money will have the most to say already...
There is no such thing as freedom on the Internet ; freedom can be bought or taken by money.
The connection still has to go through an International provider ; that connection to the backbone would be on US or EU soil ; as well, their representation offices are spread over the world; which could be a problem too.

What use is a fancy Ajax web interface when it is so slow?
Like in the matrix.. "Tell me, Mr Anderson... what good is a phone call if you're unable to speak?"
I got a similar picture of Neo having his mouth closed only this time with a chain and ball around his feet;) "Tell me, Mr Anderson... what good is your interface if you're unable to send?"
I've been using the Alpha/Beta/Gamma symbols behind the major.minor version since I've been programming (and thats now over 13 years). Like v0.1a was very early stage, 0.9b was almost a version. At a certain time I even went from A till R ; just because the updates were too minor but too important to be left out of my products at that time; since lots of programs were doors written for Remote Access and Proboard.
Yahoo is to my opinion using the beta tag with all respect ; just as you should respect the beta-tag which means all bugs and glitches will be ironed out in later versions.
Too bad they don't keep version files around so you can see the around-the-clock work of programming such new application towards their millions of subscribers. I don't use Yahoo mail; I don't know what even changed since their last interface; but Beta still means "Beta - in test - to be fixed - with trial and error".
I have been searching for a good sound card myself, started with Adlib, had on the road SB16, 32, Gravis Ultrasound (PRO) and currently I got a Digital Mistique. A very cheap and quality soundcard where you can change the DAC's. I've been using it for digitalizing my vinyl and sampling and the signal-to-noise ratio is pretty low for this soundcard (even with the already existing DAC's).
It supports 7.1, Dolby Live, has a optical and coaxial SP/DIF ; it just works.
With the Creative Labs Audigy I always had the problems that the SP/DIF did not return true surround ; which was needed for me for my productions. This card has true surround which gets exported through its digital connector; instead of with the Creative Labs where you need to buy an additional box to get the 3 speakercables to a true 5.1/7.1 digital connection....
One of the solutions could be to have a small memory cache/cpu on board of the keyboard which gets stuffed by the driver; only making the animated keys to be using cpu load. This way the cpu doesn't need to handle all the load and the keyboard will take most of the load on itself...
