you would still need a primary somewhere, but once you do, the gandi secondary one should automatically get all the changes you make to the primary one.
(i'm not affiliated with gandi or even a customer, only have seen them mentioned on/. as a decent provider)
multiple dns servers does not imply in any way that you are just using somebody's else's servers to store your zone info. even then it is possible to set up zone transfer, as master/slave is per zone. though on slashdot saying "multiple dns servers" most would still assume having control over those servers.
note that multiple servers are needed and used no matter whether you manage them yourself or not - even when you do that yourself, they are still multiple servers (maybe that caused the confusion ?)
this. why do we have a topic like this on slashdot every 3-6 months (well, at least the ones i notice) ?
it seems obvious to me that one is more likely if they are : a) interested in what they do b) can do it reasonably well c) can show both of a and b.
if you are into IT, in high school, university or whatever and have not looked at any opensource stuff before... most likely you are not interested in the field.
by the way, we are in north-eastern europe, and we are looking for people. the problem is that most who apply do not have anything to show*. how can one claim to be into the field and never ever felt a need to report a bug ? i'm not talking about having long patch history for some project or even being a maintainer for another, i'm not talking about writing full documentation for some software (although all that would be nice) - we have people applying who haven't heard about bugzilla. for somebody who actually wants to work in the field, i'd expect them to name at least 3 bug trackers, at least 3 version control systems and have at least a passing knowledge of 2 from each category.
so how are we looking for people right now ? well, we have partially given up on headhunters and look into opensource communities (mostly ours, as we are working on opensource software:) )
* there are some exceptions, people who have little previous experience with practical tools, but can pick them up extremely fast and are good at what they do. there are probably a few in a million, though, so think hard whether you can claim to be one of them;)
code usually will not tell you why something is done this or that way. at most it will tell you how it is done (and even then, not always).
also, even when you think you know what exactly code does, you usually do not see the "big picture". in any software that's more complex than a few operations there will be algorithms that can not be understood from a couple of functions. this is where comments can help enormously, as the overall logic can help to avoid silly mistakes.
the problem with "code does not match comments" is that... the project is done anyway. if that is the case, code quality is so horrible, nothing good can come out of it.
another somewhat interesting thing is that in way too many cases, when talking about slightly more obscure low level operations, nobody really knows how it should work - unless there's a comment somewhere, explaining what and why is done there. yeah, one can figure what the code does, and there might some ugly hack in there. so that is kinda cleaned up, only to discover two months later that the old logic was correct (as impossible it seemed two months ago...), just some asshole did not bother adding a comment about it.
no, when done by a doctor and money is not tricked out (as noted, it's kinda easy to do - "there are these quite expensive and not fully approved drugs... i could get the hospital to finance them for you, but it will take me some time. don't worry though, i'll get them to you later this week, i'm sure i'll succeed"), that is not a scam, and is perfectly ok. _that_ is placebo:)
it has only been attempted to be confused by the crooks behind the homeopathy, who also try to sell herbal treatments on the side. natural/herbal/fitotheraphy should never ever be confused with that scam. and those why try to do that, well, should be punched.
placebo is a method, not the substance. and it could be ethically applied by a doctor, without extracting money from the patient. grabbing money for inefficient substances and claiming that "it's ok because that's placebo" is unethical, pretty much stealing from those who have a health problem.
i believe they have such rights if you pose a threat to the plane. not just because they don't like you or you express your freedoms... on a t-shirt. not shouting, nothing. what's disruptive about a t-shirt ?
including "not letting a passenger on board because he feels like it"
srsly ? well, nothing personal, but sounds like bullshit to me:) or it would be the most sought workplace for any racist against any race. or female/male hater.
or maybe that's just bullshit, and pilot can make such decisions based on actual threats (which, after going through the nude scanner/metal detector and other stuff, would be hard to find, wouldn't they ?)
what's so terrible about the statement on the t-shirt ? did you even read it ? nevertheless, if a company offering a public service is considered to have such rights in the usa... yeah, you're fucked up.
i would say that labeling him an idiot is an indication of some sort of a mental deficiency, though. as a minimum, absolute lack of critical thinking and sense of humour. which is kinda sad.
that would be more like a hammer that only allows you to hit round nails - no square, threaded or "striped". you would have to buy a separate hammer for each type, and for some types they would also be restricted by diameter and length of the nails.
i was flying in europe last weekend and a japanese (i assume. i might be wrong:) ) person sat next to me. at some point i spotted something faimilar in his laptop. it was heroes iii (with hieroglyphs). i pulled out n9 and showed the start screen of heroes ii ('fheroes2 or so the opensource project was called).
we had a few sentence chat on how these two old versions were the best from the series and how 4 and 5 went downhill after nwc wasn't working on them.
i could waste months more time than i have on openttd, heroes 2/3, old warlords, carmageddon 2 - and yes, age of empires 2. openttd is awesome as it's getting recent polish; fheroes2 might do the same for h2. not sure about walrords, but i do have some hopes for the new carmageddon (from kickstarter) to be good as well (not sure whether it might end up being opensource eventually for community input).
drmed games that require monster computers ? not enough time for that.

ugh. their eula is terrible... it's almost like contributing your data to google maps for free :)

srsly ? full face helmet when riding a bicycle ? is that a woosh sound ?
if i'm reading that right, a helmet would have not helped you in any way, though. your face would still be as unprotected as without a helmet
aiee. keep in mind that i haven't tried this and i have little experience with hosted dns :)
as an example that has been mentioned on /. , gandi offers secondary dns server :
http://wiki.gandi.net/en/domains/dns#gandi-s-secondary-dns
you would still need a primary somewhere, but once you do, the gandi secondary one should automatically get all the changes you make to the primary one.

huh ? your comment i responded to said nothing about using multiple dns providers. what was snarky about my reply, i fail to see.

oh, haha. and look at the area around the thumb of his left hand

that does sound a lot like reason one from http://developers.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3101553&cid=41259653 :)
also, if your code can really document _why_ it does everything somebody might have a question about... nah. reason one ;)

really, proven to work ? as in, better than a placebo ? as noted above, working would actually be showing statistically better results than placebo (http://politics.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3096947&cid=41241511). anything else is a scam.

what's the connection between safety and being upset ?
no, that's not a serious question, because i don't think that's even near a valid argument.
srsly ? :)
well, nothing personal, but sounds like bullshit to me

thanks. non-latin could also be cyrillic, greek, indian... i guess "asian script" is the safe bet :)
i might have fallen into a language trap. around here, they all are lumped under hieroglyphics, so i just moved that over to english :)

was going to suggest bacula as well, but came a bit late :)
