Actually, I can't. It takes at least an hour for the CD's to copy and unpackage the 4GB of RPM'd applications that I use to do my work, shit I don't have to install separately.
Now if you want me to video tape XP + Visual Studio 6 +.Net SDK + Office + Mozilla/Firefox + gaim + antivirus... then I'll consider it a fair test.
Until our (u.s.a) ill-planned assault on the Iraqi people, it's highly likely Canada would have stood by the U.S. even if Britain had declared open war on us.
Fat chance of that now, with people like you bashing them at every opportunity.
As if storing your evil chemicals in milk bottles marked "POISON" and taking them down to your local village department of public works for toxic waste disposal and handing the guy the nominal 5 quid cover charge is all that tough...;-)
I think you're confused. Pixels are pixels. They don't come in different sizes. Sensors, however, do, and those 2MP sensors on the Nikon have more light gathering ability than an el-cheapo camera, hence the ability to faithfully render things like, purple, for instance (I have a purple hat which NO digital camera I've ever used can render properly).
You KNOW it's bad when Yahoo!'s own filter marks all yahoogroups.com messages as bulkmail spam. All of yahoogroups.com lists are opt-in, by definition not spam...
And I wonder, is that simply because they don't spend enough time training to be boxers, or simply because their muscles are too slow and bulky? After years of martial arts training and weightlifting (not bulking, tho), I'd reason that it's the former...
Honestly, I've never met someone who did. Or maybe we all did it without thinking. I've never actually had to sit down and reason through which was the proper cluster size with a business user based on their projects/products.
Right. Doesn't mesh in practice in either of the 3 Evil Mega Corps. I've worked with. RAID is for first line data availability. If it happens to be fast, then good. Otherwise, people can wait.
And no one is going to restripe an array just because a SQL database slowed down because the average transaction size grew from 8 to 16K.
Actually, from personal knowledge, I know for a fact that [most|many] Mac users spend their time getting actual work done, and not fucking around with their computers or fixing them.
I disagree. I think every computer should come with built in raid 1. I like the trend of things. It means I can build some reliability into the number one irreplaceable stuff on my computers, my personal data. I could care less if an OS fails, or whatever. As long as I can boot ERD commander of my SuSE rescue disk to get that data, just fine.
And if I can pull the drive out because the computer died, and put it in a new 'puter, then even better!
The more I think about this, at a corporate level, the more I'm convinced that high-speed switches are going to start incorporating packet filters on EVERY port.
Already when new vulnerabilities come out my current organization is hot to immediately stifle any machines that suddenly start bursting traffic. As part of a deny first, verify second method, we put the kibosh on Slammer before it even started.
Granted, people were watching analyzers all morning, and at some point, someone (Cisco) is going to make it easy to manage this with their core products, but it's the way it's going. You absolutely cannot trust the computers on your network anymore, especially ones that travel outside your control, like laptops.
On the up-side, autoupdate at least brings us a few good things, even if it fails:
1) Computer is dead, hence removed from the internet, so if the patch fails, one less host to contaminate the rest of us 2) Brings in some poor unemployed computer geek a good opportunity to score $50-100 getting the machine back online. 3) More bad press for Microsoft, and one more disenfranchised Microsoft user, making that Linux thing more useful when said computer geek comes by with his Mandrake rescue CD.
The single greatest thing that will change the face of the software industry to enable what you want happen: Make vendors accountable.
When writing code for the Space Shuttle, the coders understand that not only are up to seven lives at stake, so is a 4 billion dollar irreplaceable piece of hardware.
Microsoft doesn't have that motivation. Neither do IBM, Sun, RedHat, SCO or Linus. Until you make them feel the pain of their neglect, their ignorance and arrogance, nothing about insecure software will change.
Slashdot Mirror
Can anyone tell me what this "commercial licensed 3rd Party software" is??
I've heard lots about it, and except for YaST2, I haven't figured out what it is!?
Hence my propensity for working with that abomination known as vbscript . Die .ASP Die!
I've been working with Progress 4GL for the past 1 and a half, give or take, and it does just that, use a '.' for a statement terminator.
It's quite disturbing, actually.

Photometry? WTF did you come up with that? ;-)
Are those the little gnomes in the camera painting the picture to the disk?

But humans can still outgas, even in the absence of oxygen. Damn anaerobic bacteria... What's decomposition in a vacuum look like...
At least you can't smell the sweet stench of death...

Ah, nothing. I know people who would do it for free.
Remember that 800 meters is .8km. :-)

My humble opinion of course.

Oh, the holy grail awaits...

See, upside all around!
Nevermind the millions who are still using Windows 98, or that bastard step-child WindowsME? Does XP comes with XP SP2?
Laymen don't even know what a fscking Oort is, nevermind that there's a cloud of 'em.
Hell, most laymen can't even name the nine "accepted" planets and know Pluto only as an animated movie star with a lisp.

Hey, man!! Some of us like flying kites, so get your fingers off the wind-control switch! ;-)
They're obviously not putting coverpages on their TPS reports.
90% of my boot time is spent waiting for the RAID controller to sign off on my array health. :(
It's all the bad parts of an HMO for my computer.
