Props to you for working on Xen. I REALLY liked Xen and used it in a production system based on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Ubuntu has moved to kvm as well and the documentation for virtualization is full of kvm based tools. Makes it hard to continue using Xen on 10.04, so I have made the painful switch to kvm (I am virtualizing Linux at home for learning & fun).
One thing that was easy on Xen was working with LVM partitions and extending and mounting LVM partitions (in the guests). I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this in kvm (yet).
Anyway, I'm keeping an eye on Xen and will check out the documentation again.
Bitrate for Netflix (PS3) was 5 Mbps. Will have to check now but I doubt they'll go much over 5-8 Mbps. So it will be worse than satellite or cable which are honestly horrible. Any action scene gets horribly pixellated on my comcast HD box. I have a 720p 32" TV and its easily noticeable.
This is a Samsung Epic review, not a comparison with other phones, as far as I can tell.
Err is that why other phones are in the graphs? For a more detailed and IMO better review this page on Anandtechhas wifi only comparison including the iphone 3gs and 4.
How does Dropbox or a million other alternatives not offer a better workflow than emailing yourself documents. What kind of nerd is emailing themselves documents in this day and age....
It could be useful if you could install an app while denying it some of the rights it wants. Of course that could make the app unstable and useless, but at least you had the option to do so and it was your own free choice.
I agree in principle, but I think this would make life suck for developers. Would you really want to deal with the inevitable people saying "I paid for this app and it doesn't work" when the only reason your app doesn't work is because these same people didn't grant it the necessary rights? Supporting software is hard enough as is; we don't need to make it even easier for well-intentioned—but not technically-minded—folks to break things.
Sorry, but this is how it works on iOS. Your app downloads fine. If it tries to use the GPS the phone prompts you for permission. If it tries to message you, the phone prompts you to allow messaging. etc. Works great, maybe google will copy this too.
OS/2: Originally Microsoft developed Windows NT as OS/2 - a microkernel which was OS/2 on the front backward compatible with DOS and Windows, and switched to Windows, only after IBM started to show less and less interest in coding, and more interest in their process.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT)
Wikipedia disagrees and claims it was due to Windows 3.0's runaway success that MS felt bold enough to go on its own. My own recollection is in accordance with that.
Java: Microsoft did not develop.Net, until Sun sued them for license issues, effectively stopping them developing on Java.... and others.
These license "issues" were embrace, extend extinguish by extending Java which was against the licensing agreemmt.
A story is rarely single sided, but it's very hip to hit on MS on Slashdot...
Judging by your 5 rating, it is very hip to defend MS on/. as well.
Disk Encryption is another big part of McAfee. We not only use their software, an update of which caused BSODs a few months ago, but we've also moved to this Safeboot encryption product which is now called endpoint encryption. Intel has recently added AES-NI encryption instructions to its chips which they will likely port safeboot over to.
I like truecrypt and MSE for windows systems myself but I am not an IT director.
Ubuntu 10 has been a PIA for me..... Not to mention that SMB is broke in 10, the GUI is just awful because it doesn't allow for easy 'run as root'. Want to edit smb.conf, you are SOL unless you go through CLI or create a custom link to your favorite editor. I have no problem going CLI only either, except that in Ubuntu 10 everything has been moved into a slew of *.d directories. As a newbie to 10, where the hell is anything you are looking for?
Its generally in the same spot as 8.04. I haven't had any problems finding stuff. I just checked smb.conf was in the usual place.
You use the find command and good ol ubuntu leaves out crucial syntax points in their man pages...Often my biggest issue in Ubuntu is not so much that I dont know what I want to do, but rather, I cant find what I want to do. I ahve pretty advanced knowledge of firewalls and routers but WTF do you do when you cannot find the conf file or force it to reload?
Give ufw a look, it is great. No more messing about with iptables.
For now I think I am going to be sticking with redhat derivatives...seems to be more support there.
I believe CentOS might have better community support on the server side.
If ubuntu wants to win over more windows folk, they really really need to fix that dammed GUI, or at the least work on encouraging the community to be more active. I have 3 separate threads asking for help on either iSCSI, SMB, or NFS. Only got 2 hits and they only posted twice before going MIA. You would think that Ubuntu would be better at supporting communication between windows and Linux.
On the client side, I doubt you can beat Ubuntu, and I'm sorry you're having SMB problems but you should be patient. I had SMB problems with OSX 10.6.0,1,2 that were finally fixed in 10.6.3. Ubuntu 10.4 works wonderfully as a client for me, connecting to corporate Windows and my Samba Linux shares.
Nothing out there is running Android 2.2. 80% of Android phones won't get a legit port of 2.2 to their phone and people will resort to hacks. Obviously, I prefer the iphone.
Putting aside the usual/. tendency, why would you even bother reading TFA? How is this analysis useful AFTER the fact that the ipad has already demonstrated that Windows 7 won't work (for a few years at least).
This solution requires the installation of Flash or Quicktime for h.264 videos. Sucks almost as much as the Silverlight option. I hold out hope that Mozilla will choose to support h.264. Otherwise, I may finally switch to Chrome & Safari.
Yeah I wish this country made a sharp turn away from federalism. Then the "red states" in the middle could wallow in their economic mediocrity while the blue states would be able to power ahead and have money to provide necessary government services.
Is it possible that you are running wine or some other emulator program. The only software similar to an emulator I have is Virtualbox on my 9.10 desktop and it still has the 65536 setting.
Anyone else can shed light on this?
I think this is a little bit of an exaggeration. Or I am very mistaken.
I update nightly on test servers using aptitude safe-update and weekly on the production ones but I don't check the logs it's all automated.
It just depends on the situation, some people might be better served with weekly or monthly cron based updates. FYI, this is Ubuntu 8.04 server with Xen.
This is indeed a problem. Turning root off is quite a hassle but, it has made me a better sysadmin.
Two ways around scp root problem is to either change the directory permissions or use rsync with which you can use sudo.

No one can sell it away like Wideanus did for MySQL?

Yes agreed. I made some incorrect assumptions.
It is unlikely that it is much worse than most smallish p&s cameras. The sensor size (1/3.2") is worse, but there are a number of advances over regular point and shoots. http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/06/sizing-up-the-iphone-4-for-shutterbugs.ars
Personally I think the HDR camera mode is really cool.

It's still going to lead to a lot of small-scale tardgedies.

I am sure that the drooling retards who call themselves Glenn Beck fans are outraged about this decision.
I want one of those broad brushes. Where did you get yours? Ace? HomeDepot?
Ran off my Ubuntu 9.10 fresh installed desktop:
#cat /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr
0 ... Oh shit.
Is it possible that you are running wine or some other emulator program. The only software similar to an emulator I have is Virtualbox on my 9.10 desktop and it still has the 65536 setting.
Anyone else can shed light on this?
This solution works, please see the links below. However I would reccomend seing what your settings are on your system
$ sysctl -n vm.mmap_min_addr to find what your setting is.
On Ubuntu 8.04 LTS servers (including Xen kernels) and on 9.10 desktops it is 65536. Not a big deal.
