you mean the anoying can you hear me now? guy really exists? maybee if were luckey, he will have an unfortunate run in with steve "dud your getting a dell" guy.
or perhaps the maytag repairman can fix them, he has nothing to do anyway...
U571 wasent that bad a movie. it had holes, but i felt entertained at the end, and didnt feel like i had wasted my time or money.
U571 is horribly inaccurate. that many depth charges would have surely broken the boat up. after the second one, the crew would be deaf due to the concussion. Also the near misses with the torpedos were posible, assuming they used contact and not magnetic detonators.
U571 was a made up story based loosely on facts. Pearl Harbour was the facts presented in a revisionist manner. I consider the truth mistold to be a greater insult to those involved then something made up loosly on facts.
they had a control, temperature data dateing back 100 years or so. the weather service keeps track of all the temps for a day on record, so what theses guys are saying, is that there seemed to be greater change in those days, then the average on recent record.
i am curious though, there was a lot of dust and stuff kicked up when the towers went down, how did that affect weather paterns in the area?
Apple announces new rack-mount server -- updated live by Jim Dalrymple, jdalrymple@maccentral.com May 14, 2002 12:00 pm ET
MacCentral is providing live coverage of today's announcement by Apple of a new rack-mount server. Information from the announcement is being published in reverse-chronological order, with the oldest info posted at the bottom. Please click on your browser's Refresh button to get the latest information.
The server event has ended -- MacCentral's coverage has concluded.
RAID is all about data protection -- all critical components are redundant. Dual RAID controllers -- drives, power, cooling -- all redundant. 14 independent hard drives, and each RAID controller connects to seven of them. Each has an independent ATA controller that goes to the heart of the system. 128MB processor cache in the RAID processor. Redundant drive cache, redundant fans. Will be Available by the end of calendar year 2002.
Steve introduces Alex Grossman, Director Server and Storage Marketing:
* 3U height * 14 drive bays * 14 120GB ATA drives - in same hot-plug format as Xserve * 1.68TB * Dual 2GB Fibre Channel on system * 400MB/second storage throughput
Steve: One more thing...
Technology preview of something we're going to roll out around the end of the year. A product called Xserve RAID, an amazing companion storage product.
Now, Steve introduces two customers.
ClearChannel -- Bobby Harris, director of creative technologies. We have 3000 Macs and three guys taking care of all of them. Content-creation with nonlinear, graphics prepress houses, and it's going to be pretty amazing to click a button and administrate all of them We're buying 40 of them, and I can't wait. The IT guys will be envious. I'm glad there's a tamper lock and alarms on them, because I think we're going to need them.
Genentech -- Guy Kraines, vice president, Corporate IT. We got to use them, and we've got some observations. First, this is not a desktop box with rack-mount ears. From the physical design, the hot-swap capabilities, the remote monitoring -- this is a data center box. My guys in the data center are fully accepting of it. They did it right, right down to cable management. Second, performance. The G4 itself is a heck of a processor, especially with what we do. Velocity Engine doesn't just do Photoshop rendering well -- it does matching of genetic code really well too. The single most common application in bioinformatics is Blast. I'm not going to give you numbers today in terms of what we've done, but let's just say that this is not just a measurable improvement, but a meaningful improvement in helping us do what we need to do.
Introduces Russ Daniels, vice president and CTO, Software Business Unit, Hewlett Packard OpenView: industry-leading services management solution. We monitor critical management data, analyze it and present it to you. We're thrilled to bring that capability to this new platform. OpenView is a multiplatform, multivendor technology, and makes heavy use of open standards.
Introduces Mike Rocha, senior vice president, Platform Tech, Oracle: Oracle 9i on OS X -- we very excited about this hardware. Oracle is about low-cost clustering. Future releases will be on-time, synchronous. When we use UNIX native support, native APIs, optimized for this hardware, we can synchronize our releases so that our customers can have unified database versions across different hardware platforms.
Steve Jobs returns to the stage
Target Markets:
* Education -- We think there's a great opportunity for us here. * Creative -- Apple continues to be the platform of choice. * Biotech. * Video.
Three separate offerings: premium support plan, the service parts kit and professional service offerings (custom plan for larger customers).
What do customers want? They wanted 7 things:
* They want products to work. Apple spends a lot of time testing products for reliability, and dual-platform customers say the Mac is better than their PCs in this regard.
* They want really expert technical support. When they have a problem, they don't want to get on the phone with someone who's just been trained for three weeks. Consumer Reports tech support survey results: IBM 61, Compaq 62, HP 62, Gateway 71, Dell 72, Apple 73. And the very best when it came to support staff, and in limiting wait times.
* They want problems solved, not a lot of finger-pointing. Hardware company refers you to software company, software company refers you to hardware company. Apple is fundamentally different, because we're designing the entire solution, hardware and software.
* They want access to us, not 8-5, not banker's hours, but every minute, every day, all year long. As it turns out, we do this today at Apple for some of our customers, so we have experience here.
* A group of them wanted to be self-sufficient, particularly in the hardware area. Xserve is simple and fast for servicing -- pull it out, replace parts.
* A group of them said they wanted on-site support and don't want to touch anything. And we also do this today, for a group of customers, so we feel pretty good in this space.
* They wanted speed. Really, really fast. In fact, the group that didn't want to touch anything wanted four-hour on-site support. We don't do this today. We've majored in learning how to do this in the past several months. And today, we're ready to do this. And for users who want to do this, we're providing them with a spare parts kit, so they can change stuff out themselves.
Server support is really hard... Applications running on servers are mission-critical. There is a lack of hardware-software integration on most servers, said Cook.
Now, Steve introduces Tim Cook, executive vice president of Apple support and sales.
Publishing demo: Canto Cumulus server.
Server load demo: 400 simultaneous streaming connections, 50 percent server load, 211 megabits per second throughput, all on one server.
A demo of Blast, used in genetic research to try to find matches in fragments of genetic code. Not only will Blast run on XServe, but on clusters of Xserves.
A demo is taking place now of a Sybase database of NBA statistics, served through WebObjects.
Server solutions demo: File and print, Internet, Web, Mail, Workgroup management, Database and applications, Media streaming, Computational clusters.
"Edit Notifications" button lets you be warned, via e-mail or page, if something goes wrong with the server. It can be configured for single servers, or a whole groups of servers.
Server Monitor demo: We see a list of all running Xserves on a local network, with a series of green "lights" showing server status. Green buttons refer to current status of the drives (all four bays), power, network connections (2 built-in and any others you add), fans (both of them) and software lock. Clicking on the green buttons shows you info about status of those parts of the server.
Begin demo of Xserve and OS X Server
New software: Server Monitor -- this is how you manage the hardware.
OS X Server and Xserve provide a completely headless operation, SMP optimization, UPS support, 2-terabyte file system support, Net-SNMP and MIB II, for OS X clients. Management tools include Server Admin and Server Monitor, Unlimited clients (windows server requires expensive server licenses).
Mac OS X server also includes Mac Manager 2, NetBoot, NetInfo, LDAP connectivity, Server Admin via SSH
Internet and security: BSD, IP firewall, DHCP, DNS, SLP.
Internet and Web services: Apache, QuickTime Streaming, WebObjects, Mail (SMTP, POP, IMAP), WebDAV, SSL, PHP, MySQL, Java, CGI, Caching Web Proxy.
File and print services: Mac (AFP), Windows (Samba, SMB/CIFS), Unix and Linux (NFS), Internet (FTP, WebDAV), LPR/LPD and SMB/CIFS printing.
OS X provides an Industrial strength platform: protective memory, preemptive multitasking, symmetric multiprocessing, industry-standard BSD networking and software RAID.
Phil is talking Mac OS X Server -- we wouldn't have done this on OS 7, 8 or 9 -- the Unix of OS X is key.
Phil Schiller has just come on stage.
Compare this to the competitors:
* Dell PowerEdge 1560 $4277 - 3 bays * IBM eServer X330 $5186 - 3 bays * Sun Fire 280R $19590 - 2 bays * Xserve $3999 - 266MHz DDR SDRAM, 4 bays means more total capacity
Apple is taking orders today and the server will ship in June
Pricing & Availability starts at $2999 for two standard models: 1GHz dual 256MB DDR and a 60GB hard disk for $2999 -- 1GHz dual 512 MB DDR with a 60GB for $3999. But most people aren't going to buy a standard configuration -- they'll configure it themselves on the Apple store.
Security: enclosure security lock, intrusion alert and software lock (FireWire, USB and CD-ROM can be locked down)
We also have hardware monitoring, where we try to alert you to what needs service. We monitor drive status and pre-fail, temperature (processor and enclosure), fans, power supply and network link.
You can service an Xserve in seconds. The units literally just slide out [like a drawer]. There's no top to take off.
SMART drive monitoring, so we can do predictive failure on drives. The servers will have hot-pluggable drives that pull out of the front of the device in a custom-made carriage.
"This is the fastest architecture we've ever built," said Jobs.
We're going with ATA because they're just as fast as SCSI and they offer real benefits in term of largest capacities.
Storage: 60GB and 120GB ATA/100 drives. (We support 4 drive bays, so that means 480GB max in a 1U server.)
The server will have a dual 1GHz G4 processor, 256K L2, 4MB DDR L3 caches. System controller with custom ASIC done by Apple. Built-in: Gigabit Ethernet and FireWire. That controller has up to 2GB DDR SDRAM. (This is the first time that we know of that that SDRAM has been used in a 1U server.) In addition, it will have a PCI slot with gigabit Ethernet. This means server comes std. with two gigabit Ethernet ports. Quad ATA/100 drives, all on independent controllers and all have independent channels into system controller; a CD-ROM and 2 64-bit/66MHz PCI slots.
Customers want to do:
* file and print * web and email * database * QuickTime streaming * Computational (for example, Blast)
What they want from Apple:
* Dedicated server platform * They want it to be rack-mounted * They want a lot of storage flexibility * They want serviceability * And they have to be able to manage these things remotely, so they want great remote management.
Though we're not on every desktop, we are in every Fortune 500 company. AOL Time Warner, Genentech... but Xserve is designed not only for business, but for education.
"It's a 1U server solution designed from the ground up, and customer driven," said Jobs.
Apple is now the largest UNIX developer in the world, said Jobs. We've seen a tremendous stream of innovation this year. We're going to add another piece of innovation today from Apple, and we call it Xserve.
People face there monitors so they are visable to windows. i cant belive the number of first floor offices i see where the monitor's display can clearly be seen with the the naked eve through the window. so dont point your monitor outside.
Tempest is a real risk, but you have to evaluate how sensitive your information is and is a tempest attack likely.
the easiest way i think to reduce these attacks to to put up a big fence around your facility, atleast 50m from any window.
hmm, im not very familier with bsd and darwin developments, but i wonder if apple will follow suit. i just checked my 10.2.4 and it has rlogin, and perl. Perl is quite usefull, but i agree it shouldnt be part of a default install. the rtools are a big risk, and rightly should be gotten rid of. with ssh and secure versions of most of these r tools, there existance is moot.
Apple prides itself on the power of unix, simplicity of a mac, and i think it works great. (havent touched my pc in weeks) but i question if a desktop os really needs the rtools.
A community Freenet i am a member of uses sequential userid's in the aa001-zz999. it becomes really easy to spam members as all you have to do is vrite a looping incramental script and you can hit 60,000+ id's
at work im the first 6 chars of my last name 1st initial. it works, except for the boogerj@..:)
you said it goes around raleigh... apparently all the way around.. is it really that odd that a circle meets up with its self?
you want to see screwwy highways, go to Montreal Canada. built in the 60's 3 lanes each direction, through town, elevated and no sholders. oh and very short on ramps and off ramps, leading to or from the slow lane, or fast lane with no consitency at all.
and for la piece de resistance, all the signs are in french.
ok, that solves how to have different ips, but how do other routers know that i part of a subnet is not with the rest. this means routers would have to advertise individual hosts in their routing tables. can you imagine the overhead to do this?
also vlans divide broadcast domains at layer 2 (mac addresses) layer 3 addressing usually follows the vlan but doesnt have to. think of each vlan as a hub. you can run 2 different subnets on a hub ie 192.168.1.xxx (and 10.15.3.xxx) but machines wont be able to communicate at layer 3 (ip) without a router (or vlan trunk)
It Cant Be done. dhcp is easy, but there is now way to route an ip packet to a laptop that is not part of an contiguous network, ie the 205.211.44.xxx subnet exists in ottawa, but my laptop which is a member of that subnet is currently in washington, is not gonna be able to have packets routed to it.
i suppose it could be done if you wrote a gateway that useses a netbios like layer 2 protocol (using mac addresses) and proxying requests and responces from layer 3 (ip) to layer 2 (MAC) Hope that makes sence.
Well i question numbers like that, lets look at a recent case i had. I did something stupid. i left my home machine with an unpatched IIS server exposed to the internet. i was careless, and nimda bit me. it traveled through non password protected shares, and also infected 2 other machines.
Clean up and repair took 4 hours to make sure it was gone. if this was me doing this for a client, that would be 85$/h * 4h thats a 340$ expenditure to clean up. if its an email virus, and a few people get infected, a few diferent times the cost adds up quickly
NT4 is a very secure operateing system. in fact it is rated to the DOD's Orange book Standard for data confidentiality. this is something that linux has yet to achive.
However, this goes all to hell the miunte you plug that box into a network, or install other apps on it.
NT4 IS more secure then linux, just not in a useable fasion
have you tried that? sometimes the bios will tell windows to expect video. also, try disableing the video drivers in device manager, and then removing the card.
there still like this, the hoops you jump through to exchange an adb dongle for a usb one, almost 4 years after the imac did away with ADB. Qurak has yet to catch on, that macs dont come with ADB Anymore
How Many times has cancer man been killed? Remeber, this is the x-files were talking about. a person on this show, is not dead until you see a body, in peiceis on the ground.
and even then its not garunteed that they are dead

Eurocom Does. Also one of their laptops has a built in memstick / sd card reader
it can be done. use dyndns like normal, however when you create the dns record for yor tld, in stead of creating an a record to an ip, use a cname to the dyndns address.
I dont like windows based anti-virus software because it often requires infected parts of the os to run. i have seen Norton not clean stuff up properly and out right miss things witht the latest definitions.
Personally i use the free version of f-prot from f-secure it runs in any version of windows, is updated weekly, is free, and works.
ICravetv was legal in Canada. In Canada we have the concept of the public air waves. any signal passing through them is fair game, to anyone, as long as we dont devuge what we saw.
a lot of people get free direct tv in canada because we buy the equipment, bur the access card, and pull signals at will. its all legal to do, we just cant talk about the show at the watercoller the next day.
i crave was shut down do to lawsuits launched in the us by us networks and the nfl.
I work For a local college who has a substanial laptop program. 50% of my job deals with fixing them. A few Points to remember
-Structral integrity exists only in the laptops completed form, them bend and flex quite abit unless they are all togeather.
-Putting your stuff on the keyborad is a bad idea. you forget its there, and close the unit, or drop it, Cracked case, cracked lcd, broken keyboard, eask $2k dammage (and you may think who does something that stupid, i see it atleast once a month.
-Drop survivability, good on carpet, not so good on floor. lucky damage is a cracked case (relatively cheap to replace, or can be crazy glued if small) ulucky is a cracked lcd
-laptops will take a fairamount of small bumps, and stacking, but keep in mind hard disk platters dont like alot of motion, so remember to backup regularly.

you said it goes around raleigh... apparently all the way around.. is it really that odd that a circle meets up with its self?
you want to see screwwy highways, go to Montreal Canada. built in the 60's 3 lanes each direction, through town, elevated and no sholders. oh and very short on ramps and off ramps, leading to or from the slow lane, or fast lane with no consitency at all.
and for la piece de resistance, all the signs are in french.
it was canadian..
just goes to show what can be accomplished when we have snow for so long..
so yep.. this guy did have alot of free time
ok, that solves how to have different ips, but how do other routers know that i part of a subnet is not with the rest. this means routers would have to advertise individual hosts in their routing tables. can you imagine the overhead to do this?
also vlans divide broadcast domains at layer 2 (mac addresses) layer 3 addressing usually follows the vlan but doesnt have to. think of each vlan as a hub. you can run 2 different subnets on a hub ie 192.168.1.xxx (and 10.15.3.xxx) but machines wont be able to communicate at layer 3 (ip) without a router (or vlan trunk)
clear as mud?
It Cant Be done. dhcp is easy, but there is now way to route an ip packet to a laptop that is not part of an contiguous network, ie the 205.211.44.xxx subnet exists in ottawa, but my laptop which is a member of that subnet is currently in washington, is not gonna be able to have packets routed to it.
i suppose it could be done if you wrote a gateway that useses a netbios like layer 2 protocol (using mac addresses) and proxying requests and responces from layer 3 (ip) to layer 2 (MAC)
Hope that makes sence.
Well i question numbers like that, lets look at a recent case i had.
I did something stupid. i left my home machine with an unpatched IIS server exposed to the internet. i was careless, and nimda bit me. it traveled through non password protected shares, and also infected 2 other machines.
Clean up and repair took 4 hours to make sure it was gone. if this was me doing this for a client, that would be 85$/h * 4h thats a 340$ expenditure to clean up. if its an email virus, and a few people get infected, a few diferent times the cost adds up quickly
NT4 is a very secure operateing system. in fact it is rated to the DOD's Orange book Standard for data confidentiality. this is something that linux has yet to achive.
However, this goes all to hell the miunte you plug that box into a network, or install other apps on it.
NT4 IS more secure then linux, just not in a useable fasion
Most Campus resellers will sell you a mac at educational pricing regadless of who you are. its a great way to save a few hundred dollars.
The only hitch is these resellers cant sell online
i cant wait to see the pricing on theses units, they look amazing feature wise.
have you tried that? sometimes the bios will tell windows to expect video. also, try disableing the video drivers in device manager, and then removing the card.
:)
you could also use linux/bsd/*nix
there still like this, the hoops you jump through to exchange an adb dongle for a usb one, almost 4 years after the imac did away with ADB. Qurak has yet to catch on, that macs dont come with ADB Anymore
How Many times has cancer man been killed?
Remeber, this is the x-files were talking about. a person on this show, is not dead until you see a body, in peiceis on the ground.
and even then its not garunteed that they are dead
Eurocom Does. Also one of their laptops has a built in memstick / sd card reader
Many PC Manufactures had LCD all in one units prior to the iMac. Eurocom, IBM, even the Gateway
exixted prior to the iMac.
What makes the imac special is the arm, and how you can ajust the lcd in any direction you please
plus its ultra cool styleing.
it could be imitated, but imposible to reporduce.
it can be done.
use dyndns like normal, however when you create the dns record for yor tld, in stead of creating an a record to an ip, use a cname to the dyndns address.
www.ziobrowski.net works like this
I dont like windows based anti-virus software because it often requires infected parts of the os to run. i have seen Norton not clean stuff up properly and out right miss things witht the latest definitions.
Personally i use the free version of f-prot from f-secure
it runs in any version of windows, is updated weekly, is free, and works.
ICravetv was legal in Canada. In Canada we have the concept of the public air waves. any signal passing through them is fair game, to anyone, as long as we dont devuge what we saw.
a lot of people get free direct tv in canada because we buy the equipment, bur the access card, and pull signals at will. its all legal to do, we just cant talk about the show at the watercoller the next day.
i crave was shut down do to lawsuits launched in the us by us networks and the nfl.
I work For a local college who has a substanial laptop program. 50% of my job deals with fixing them. A few Points to remember
-Structral integrity exists only in the laptops completed form, them bend and flex quite abit unless they are all togeather.
-Putting your stuff on the keyborad is a bad idea. you forget its there, and close the unit, or drop it, Cracked case, cracked lcd, broken keyboard, eask $2k dammage (and you may think who does something that stupid, i see it atleast once a month.
-Drop survivability, good on carpet, not so good on floor. lucky damage is a cracked case (relatively cheap to replace, or can be crazy glued if small) ulucky is a cracked lcd
-laptops will take a fairamount of small bumps, and stacking, but keep in mind hard disk platters dont like alot of motion, so remember to backup regularly.
