  1. Linux Expo on What Would You Recommend for IT Training? · · Score: 1

    San Francisco, CA Linux Expo August 14-18 next month. Great place to go for seminars, training, certification, and to find out more about what's going on in the world of Linux. For more info... http://www.linuxworldexpo.com/live/12/events/12SFO 06A

  2. Re:Little in the way of structuring data on Inside the Google-Plex · · Score: 1

    As long as standards are maintained, each server is configured correctly, and the infrastructure is theirs, isn't it really just a matter of what you can develop as an addition? Until they create a new version or release that utilizes a different infrastructure to support new standards and add more functionality wouldn't it be repetitive and a matter of what server controlled which processes?. Or they just create new hardware that utilizes the services provided by their web presence. Specific servers would be handling certain processes and so many would have to be placed throughout the world to keep up with latency. Even then each server is built to work together with old and new constraints, fuctions, procedures, table spaces, segments, java pools, and any global code on searchable data that has been collected and then stored in clusters. Wouldn't it just be a matter of where to get the data and how to most efficiently and effectively store it in a parallel fashion?
    The functionality needed for standards that are no longer supported would be phased out. Tags and libraries used in the code are most likely categorized through use of logic and a meta dictionary while temporarily storing the files based on the sites' structure, parsing through it, storing it in an array, and then commiting relevant data to their cluster to later be included in an index, have stored procedures allocate the information to several different servers and commit it a second time in one set of procedures, so it can be queried upon keyword searches within 24 to 48 hours, but I really don't know. And all or most of this is probably done in parallel by organizing code to continuously processes segmented data. The only thing I can see as being excluded is global code.
    Just a bunch of thoughts. It probably also depends on the technology that you are using.They have gone and made their own hardware to index your sites for you among other things. You could always do that yourself using UNIX and DNS. However, that is the nice thing about databases as well, they can't search through what they don't have permission to see, unless they somehow get access which would be entirely possible with the technology that it takes to crawl the web if you aren't securing your space on the wire with some logic.
    Does anybody know if they use beowulf at all?

    I wish more companies were capable of operating like that.

  4. How special on Lawsuits Fly Over Google Founders' Party Plane · · Score: 1

    It's sad that people even read this stuff. I mean, really, the only reason that anyone would care about this is simply to let people know that they can afford to go to court with a contractor. Contractors are brought in to do work. Most the time the founders of the companies themselves (especially on this side of the globe) have no idea what it is that they want. And as for the very first argument. It said they had 1200+ emails that what was it.... "Mr. Jennings, 67 years old, says the allegations are groundless. He says he was wrongly fired after trying to alert Mr. Schmidt that Blue City was going to be overcharged for some materials used in the interior of the plane. Mr. Jennings says allegations that he wasn't sufficiently involved in the project or accessible to the plane's owners are false, and has over 1,200 emails related to the project to disprove them." I believe that's what Kevin J. Delaney at the WSJ wrote. So, there probably weren't just 1200 emails that was just the amount of emails that disproved their publicly stated reasoning that lead to his termination. So apparently he was involved in the project and accessible to the plane owners. I would almost guaruntee that it doesn't matter to these individuals, as they have money. So instead of acting like descent individuals with money and letting someone they signed a contract with finish their obligation to the company, they blame the contractor for internal problems with the project and let him take the fall instead of themselves. Isn't that how it always goes? Wouldn't they have so much more to lose for overspending and breaking budget on a party plane for the company? If he actually accounted for his time on contract using activity based accounting principles I wonder if he would have truely even been being paid enough for his time. It certainly would clear up any judgement the judicial system could not radicate. So yay for the corporation once again. For stepping on the little people. For knowing where to place blame. For being more of an anonymous coward than any man righteous enough to be independent. Where are the leaders and why is it that every time we get one we lose them to wealth, politics, media, and their own ego. I don't know what to make of the situation, but it definitely sounds familiar.
