  1. Re:Lag on eSATA Connectors · · Score: 1

    I've got a AMD X2 server with four SATA II hard drives in RAID 5 configuration connected to my computer over gigabit ethernet.

    Trust me lag isnt a problem at all. :P

    0.09ms ping times mean its faster just to mount the server's drives on to my file system than to use my own hard drive.

    Thats what I do. Just replace old computer with Terrabyte AMD AM2 X2 server. ;)

    Squid transparent caching and ad blocking, Apache, MySql, the lot.

    Even better. If your late for a meeting just fire up a laptop and tell all the cars that there has been a major crash.

    Everyone avoids it allowing you to get to your meeting in time.

    Then they'd be getting too much air. AFAIK someone doesnt need *that* much breathing.
    Its probably better just to take turns doing the compressions since it gets tiring.

    Such a pity that crawlers dont have the ability to read that.

    A human at Archive.org never read that so I cant see how Archive.org is legally liable. A computer cant enter a contract.
    Plus there are well known ways to forbid the crawler from your site but they were not used.

    Both distros (can) use the exact same software yet they are tailored to completely different types of people.

    Too true.

    The good news is that Linux is slowly trickling in mainly in government.
    More and more people are getting exposed to it and they will learn the new step by step procedures out of necessity.

    I agree with you completely. GP's argument is that because Mac can run everything else inside it, it therefore is the ultimate OS.
    Get VMware and Linux is the ultimate OS using the same argument.

    The ultimate OS should be determined based on merits of the operating system itsself, not what other operating systems you can run to get required features.

    Personally as a guy who has on average 6 - 10 consoles open at any one time, Mac OS X isnt flexible enough to be the ultimate OS.
    You just cant get the necessary power from it when you need it.

    Linux can on the other hand adapt to be n00b friendly or power user friendly.
    The fact that you have distros like Ubuntu and Gentoo as two extremes is proof of that.

    On Linux it *should* be daemonizing and doing it in parallel.
    dhcpcd I know for a fact does this but I havent tried the other clients.

  16. Re:I swear... on Victims Fight Back Against DMCA Abuse · · Score: 1

    There needs to be something to stop takedown notices from people who dont like what you have hosted as well.

    I've gotten one or two but I've been able to fend them off mainly because I use dedis.
    I've heard of people on shared hosting where the files just get deleted without warning.
    It scares the shit out of shared hosts.

    Whats the point of having a new internet if noone is going to use it?

    Win2k was released in the year 2000. XP was 2001.
    Believe it or not but XP is identical to 2k under the skin. Maybe at best a point release like 2.6.19 to 2.6.20.

    Funnily enough the NT kernel and the 9x kernel are related. They are brothers.
    NT is just a bit older than 9x.
