I you want to get the attention of your Reps. USE SNAIL MAIL. Most governtment offices(elected offivials state and federal) recieve thousands and thousands of e-mails each day. You will get lost in the shuffle.
You could just use a "ram drive" as a cache to reads off a hard drive and as a small buffer to write to the drive. With a good ups and shutdown software you could get the stuff written to disk before any major problems.
I would get a shop vac and hook it up to the old vaccuum location and turn it on. Then I would go around the house and open the vaccuum inlets ( to clear the debris).
Then get some "pulling string" and tie a piece of cloth to the end and let it go into the tubes, with the vaccuum on (it get's pulled for you) label the ends of the string and secure the "pulled string" do the rest
Now just attach your cat5/fiber to the strings and pull the string label them and punch em down
Just how many ways are there to write "hello world".
I have been programming since the late 80's and every language I learned formally, at a school/uni, they taught the same programs just a different language. (SOSDL)
I would like to see programs that make the student's think not just learn how to do a bubble sort then apply it to a standard data set, the same as the 200 students before you and the same as the 30 students in your class. Of course there will be similarities
Just do a visual comparison. Hmm the machine says it could be a match, let me take a closer look at that. Then if the person thinks the machine is right do something else.
I'm not too sure but, I know you want to try to keep the mirros and the data on 2 separate controllers
I believe this would be an optimal solution get 2 cards
RC = Raid Controller
You need to have the mirrors on different cards
you will get better read/write performance
data for a drive on 1 controller and the mirror on the other, and keep the mirrors and data split between the controllers Ide or scsi, I'm not sure what functions are needed on the card or even if the 3ware cards will support it. I'm not sure how to configure this on the SW side either. But for my new DB server I will configure it this way.
You can lose 50% of the drives(if they are the right 1's it not the data and the mirror)
with raid 5 you can loose 1 drive, then the spare(if installed) must recreate the data before you can lose another drive.
The conversion of DC-AC has a bout a 30% loss
it
a 1400VA yeilds 950 Watts 32% loss
a 280VA yeilds 180 watts 36% loss
on things like pc's not including monitors I feel that the DC-DC power converters could lead to more run time off the same batteries.
Not to mention I have not see any real plans for hooking up soalr panels directly to a battery backup units.
Train somebody to do the backups.
train them to "restart/reboot" the server
"Go away" and to not leave any forwading info for 2-4 days. Check in but not be able to return for another 2-4 days.
If something critical fails and they blame you say I did not want to go but your policy is you need to take time off or stop accrewing PTO.
then offer agin to get a pay off for PTO.
Remember they basically told you go or lose it

Why not look at using a linux based solution like:

this might work I have not checked.

I do not understand how they can change their ELUA after someone already accepted it (I have not because I have not read it or installed it yet).
Don't I have to upgrade their SW or HW and to have to agree to a new ELUA? It is not my fault that they had a fault in it.
Two days ago I was mailed a CC. I did not order it I did not ask for one. Based on what I remember about how the USPS works on things like this it is mine no strings attached. The CD was already in an "open" package that read by opening this you agree...
My question is do you think I am bound by any of DC's requirements provided I do not install the software on the CD and Agree to the License.
Tivo rebroadcasts the show over a particular chanel like 3 or 4 so why not just hook a cable modem to it and do a "direct data dump" over that chanel. Sure it would take some serious coding but I think that it could work.
Cons
Only network when not watching a program
Lots of work
Pros
A real hack
A tivo with a NIC
Or just look for busted laptops with working displays, bad cases bad cables dead HD's, etc. Slap in a NIC, add your favorite flavor of *nix and mout them to the wall. Instant Picture, Video, Messaging cente.
We have 5 Kodak's DC265's
Each has 2x 32 meg cards which have been used for over a year. We Just purchased 1x 64 meg cards for each camera. The biggest problem we have had is people bending the pins on the adapter but that is easy to fix. The adapter's are about $20 each.
So just get a laptop and xfer the pics to the laptop. With 2 or 3 Large Cards and a laptop w/ a Jazz drive you should be set.
besides obious bugs you can check for back doors and the like. even if the origional specs cannot be checked you can see if it meets your requirements. If not you can change it
I feel that open Source can be trusted, because we have the opportunity to check the code.
"His assertion is that Open Source systems such as Linux are developed in too chaotic a system to ever reach a trusted state" Order and patterns are found in chaos all the time, fractals. What makes him think that the "closed Source" software is developed in any less of a chaotic maner? Just because we do not know does not mean it is done in an organized manner
If you are hit you either run or fight (self defense)
I say we develop a protocol for fighting back (self defense and self policing). Part of this protocol should include the education of people to harden their systems. If you system is compromised and used in an attack, because your sysadm did not lock it down then you should not complain when you get "hit back".
If the systems are locked down then at least the wanna be's won't be trashing systems. I know we cannot stop all the crackers but at least let's make it harder for the idiots.
How about the AI takes misspelled URL and compares them to a list that you have previously visited and pick the "closest one" or have allowable misspelling as short-cuts i.e./. => slash.org Something like a plug in.
