Another vote against rdiff-backup. I have had it die on very large directories with many small files with perl overflow errors. Google for rdiff-backup errors and you will find a wealth of information.
Between Ubuntu 6.06 and 8.04 the rdiff-backup protocol changed and there was no way to get the new rdiff-backup talking to the old one. No switch to change protocol etc.
Bacula is definitely superior, but nothing beats a commercial solution if you have the money and need disaster recovery bare metal restore.
This is almost like an Ubuntu LTS release? I am very happy with Ubuntu LTS for my servers. I think this is a step in the right direction for debian, but I don't see why I would go with a Debian server as opposed to an Ubuntu one.
Still thank you to the debian team for we depend on their hard work.
The function naming convention needs to be fixed as well as the argument lists that you mention. The naming scheme is a little haphazard. Although if you use eclipse or another dev suite, autocompletion of the function names etc does save having to constantly look it up.
Ah, yes, it's all our fault. Sorry, I forgot that as an American I'm responsible for everything that goes wrong in the world. The Somali warlords bear no responsbility at all.
As for Somali responsibility, we know that most human beings are capable of horribly evil things if they have little hope for a good future. I agree that they should work for a better future like most Somali's are probably doing, but resorting to violent criminal behaviour isn't terribly unexpected. This is why I took it for granted. We all know that we need law and order for a reason...
This is hogwash. The last time we intervened was in 1996 when the moderate Islamic courts where overthrown with the help of Etophia plunging the country in chaos. The lawlessness as a result of this is is one of the main reasons for piracy.
I'm not sure if the american govt is just a big lumbering oaf or destabilizes the region on purpose. Either way they fuck up everything they touch.
I want to hear a little about whether mass tapping of wind power would alter climate
I think due to laminar flow and boundary layer the amount of disruption to the atmospheric airflow would be minimal. Think of it almost as though the earth was very slightly bigger in terms of volume.
This sounds like a great idea with the problem that I think there would be issues of liability. The litigious society, among other things, is killing American competitiveness. See below if you have 45 minutes to waste.

This all sounds great and I use free software as much as possible (until recently anyway), but the ipod works really well. The integration with itunes, not managing your library, getting podcasts, etc isn't rocket science but it works as expected.
I am not an apple fan boy but I finally gave in and bought an ipod this year because I liked what my friends had, the others looked horrible and plasticy, and I love my macbook to death. Mine is mostly used for podcasts and npr.
Speaking of things working as expected let me share something cool. When you reduce the column width for the date/time column in nautilus it truncates whatever can't be displayed. On OSX it starts dropping the least significant bits of time off. Kinda neat.
Sigh... Herbert Hoover raised the top tax rate to 73% from 24%. He also introduced a Corporate tax rate of 13.5%. Obama is doing nothing of the sort, and if anything most historions of The Great Depression attribute Hoover's failure to not doing enough on the spending side.
Fed chairman Ben Bernanke's opinion is economic stimulus based and he is a depression expert. He didn't come out and say "omg, we have a financial crisis. Let me cut taxes for teh fix !!!11".
I'm not a fan of taxes or deficits, but the time to raise taxes and cut deficits is when the economy is booming. Unfortunately, no one has the political will to do that. One must spend during long downturns as the pain of not doing so is too great. Spending should be curbed as conditions improve however.
I'm against Obama's plan to give tax rebates to people that do not pay federal income taxes. I'm sorry, but, if you get a rebate for something you didn't pay for, that isn't a rebate, it is welfare and income redistribution.
Just to clarify, it is people who work but do not pay income taxes becuase they make so little. The EIC currently works the same way as well as the Bush stimulus package ($600). There is nothing inherently wrong with this as most of the country prefers a progressive tax rate. OK so this one goes into negative taxes for some but its peanuts.
I don't like how Obama is planning to turn Social Security into a progressive pay system like income taxes. This is a major retooling of the system. He wants lower income people to start paying less of a percentage (possibly down to a zero point?) yet still recieve full benefits. This is an interesting article describing what BHO is planning to do with SS.
Ooh, BHO. Hussein!! Anyway, the AEI is a right wing think tank. Obviously they dislike Obama's plan. McCain's plan is to get rid of Social Security and let us fend for ourselves by giving us a tax credit. It isn't a bad idea to progressively reduce social security benefits in my opinion but we're still missing a solution to people that have inadequate savings or get caught out by decade long corrections or malaise in the stock market.
Why can't they just cut wasteful, federal spending....and let ALL tax payers keep more of their own money?
It is really quite simple. Some people are unreliable with saving their money. If they were given the chance they would spend it. If you say well let them bear the consquences, then you end up with increased crime rates and societal unrest. I don't want that which is why I support a social safety net. For wasteful spending they can cut the pentagon budget by a 1/4.
A serious shortfalling of Western democracies is that if the government (and associated media) manage to misinform the majority of the public to believe a lie, they are allowed and expected to act on that lie.
I'm sorry but this is rubbish. The public chose to be misinformed because Americans wanted to lash out. Afghanistan was not enough. They wanted blood in retaliation for 9/11.
The rest of the world didn't believe in this war from the start as they knew there were no WMD's that were a threat to anyone, let alone the USA half a world away. They knew Al Qaeda had been kept out of Iraq by the Baathists. I lived in Canada at the time (currently in the US) and no one believed that the US govt was telling the truth. The reason they got away with the lies in the US was because the public wanted blood.
The real problem with democracy is that sheeple get to vote
I would like to frame the question as framework versus CMS. When would you choose a CMS for a web site rather than a framework?
In particular, is there really a need for CMS's these days for flexible web site development when there are very capable PHP frameworks out there (Zend, Symfony, cake, etc). I have used the Symfony framework for database driven intranet sites, but I have never used a CMS other than to put up a blog like thingy. Of course, these days many frameworks contain simple CMS's.
I think for most people it isn't worth it giving it a try. Instead they buy an iPod and spend a few extra $. The time saved is enough and they work harder to make the few extra $. Sounds like a good trade off to me.
Time to burn karma points, but why are people being such assholes about the GP/OP. So he may not be the poster child for database experience and administration but there is really no need to belittle him/her.
You can use the microtime() function. Additional details website posted below to check

I think php necessitates the usage of php.net etc because the functions don't seem to follow any kind of sane design or pattern. I mean (hypothetically) array_search() vs search_array() etc.
it seems that Sandisk is at least partly to blame here. Their drive benchmarks are shit in XP as well. All the while other drive manufacturers have written better controller code. Work around it Sandisk and stop making excuses. Show us the linux / OSX benchmarks if those are so much better.
Furthermore, those numbers probably exaggerate the inherent danger of small cars, as this NHTSA study doesn't control for driver population. I would suggest that, since impecunious teenagers and other inexperienced or reckless drivers are more likely to be found driving small, inexpensive cars, their poor driving abilities inflate the compact-car numbers.
Great point, I was also thinking about Minivan and Midsize car owner demographics. Age, gender, risk averseness. As opposed to younger people generally found with SubCompact and Compact cars.
Ugh.... I am a VW owner (2000 Golf) and know several friends with them (3 actually). They've all had higher maintenance costs than what would seem normal. VW has shitty quality as evidenced by various car ratings over the last few decades.
Besides being a Toyota, the Prius is quiter than a diesel (i hate noise), better with braking etc.

Adjust it for inflation and see what it looks like.
It is adjusted for inflation. Also check this graph with a lot more variables blah
Well, right now I'm thinking about taxation.
