Uhhh... bs? Given the very few amount of Nobel Prizes handed out every year, this isn't exactly something that would be hard to track down. And I don't' believe for a second the *prof* wouldn't immediately notify the proper powers that be at the Nobel Foundation of his previous associates theft and plagiarism.
Get over myself? I'm sorry, some of us have real jobs, and we travel for those jobs. The electronics I *feel* I have to travel with just so happen to be vital to that job. Welcome to slashdot, where geeks actually USE technology.
There's a reason we're called BUSINESS travelers. We're ON THE CLOCK while traveling. Work IS traveling. I'm glad you feel it's your duty to disrupt those of us actually earning our paychecks.
Fortunately, the content of your posts makes it obvious you're anything but a frequent flier. And you're just running your mouth. Should you sit in business class and attempt to prevent anyone from working/using their laptop you'd be promptly removed from the flight. So troll on brotha.
If you offered them cell service for half the price with that more expensive phone I *HIGHLY* doubt they'd balk. Especially when they figured out they could buy a used phone off of ebay and still use that cheap(er) service.
Let's see, at the checkpoint I get to:
Pull out my laptop, take off my belt, take off my shoes, pull out any other electronic device that may have an optical drive.
I get to pull out any liquids I may have and stuff them into a plastic bag if I haven't already done so. I get to try to grab enough bins from a pile that's shared between five lines and hope I grab enough the first time around. This while having at least 10 other people trying to do the same thing.
You generally get to try to balance all of this at the same time as well since they expect you to be ready by the time you get to their little conveyor. Oh, then you get to try to figure out a way to watch your baggage go through the scanner to make sure someone doesn't decide that macbook would be much better in their care than yours.
So you get pulled aside for a scanning booth, while your luggage is going through their conveyor. Can you believe I was too busy trying to make sure my $5,000 worth of electronics don't get stolen to notice a "magazine sized sign", that was most likely posted in such a way that they could usher me past without noticing?
Hell, I know what I'm getting into when I go to the airport, and that sounds like a BS way of informing me of their new procedure.
Cisco says they have a great new hardware firewall that will stop *ALL* malware. You just need to sign a contract indemnifying them should you have a malware outbreak on your network...
...I'm in a serious company, and nothing I said advocated using cheap hardware. In fact, the entire point, which you missed entirely, is that wasting money just to see the result of hacked shitty hardware is a *BAD IDEA*. And doing so should, and most likely WOULD result in the loss of your job...
Sometime after you graduate high school and get a real job you'll probably figure out that every business has a budget. You get to justify your expenditures on that budget to your boss, who reports to his boss on up the chain. Good luck justifying your purchase with "Well it's not my money, what do I care?".
Pretty close.
"opensolaris" was supposed to be akin to "gnu/linux". Opensolaris being the kernel and userland tools. Then subsequent distributions could be built on top of this.
THe uproar was indeed that Sun decided to call their own distribution based on the opensolaris core "Opensolaris", and rightly so. It confuses everything and everyone. As a longtime member of the community, I would expect nothing but a blank stare from any *newbie* trying to understand the opensolaris scene.
SO... this is akin to Redhat trying to call their offering "Linux". Well... what version of linux are you running? "Linux linux"... horrible marketing decision on their part to say the least.
Their reaction wasn't "I wonder how they do that", their reaction was "Our primary *PAYING* enterprise customers have no need for this feature currently. While we understand the community would like it, we cannot dedicate engineering resources to it. Here's the code, have at it.
As for all the other vendors having it... it's *not that simple*, regardless of whether you want it to be or not. The very nature of the copy-on-write filesystem makes it extremely difficult to just expand the raid.
PS: you're more than welcome to add a single disk to a zpool, you just won't have raid protection. The reason Sun currently considers the setup *OK* is because their enterprise customers don't add disks one at a time, they add them a tray at a time.
Does this mean I can just tazer someone to death and it's not a murder? After all, they weren't killed by a tazer, they died of excited delirium. Surely I couldn't help that!
I won't even *illegally download* metallica's music. I turn the station if it comes on in the car. After all their bullshit with Napster, I've permanently boycotted them and I go out of my way to get others to do the same.
I guess I disagree. I'm on several of the opensolaris mailing lists, and they're ALWAYS busy. And not just with people from Sun, people from all walks of life. To claim that opensolaris has failed is preposterous to me. I guess I don't quite understand what this mans idea of *success* is, but apparently having users and contributers from both sun and the public abroad isn't *success*.
Is his complaint that the majority of code comes directly from Sun? If so... let me just say *DUH*. If you have thousands of PAID programmers writing code, nobody is going to waste their free time re-writing from scratch. On the flip side, there's TONS of public side-projects, I can think of several around zfs like the automatic snapshots. Or maybe that little side project called nexenta.
I think I understand what his issue is... he doesn't even know what the opensolaris community is. By his definition, one distribution of linux is a measure if its success or failure. Last I checked, when we talk about linux, we're encompassing ubuntu, redhat, suse, slackware, etc, etc, etc... Guess what, the same holds true for Opensolaris.
So... basically, it sounds like a linux zealot casting a stone because he's most likely upset that Sun wont' release solaris under the GPL so that linux devs can start ripping code.
The constitution only bars such a state when it is followed. The executive branch in this country has made a point of proclaiming they are above the constitution and the checks and balances it lays forth, and nobody has done anything about it. It's nice you think a piece of paper will somehow protect your freedoms. The reality is quite different.
I just want to point out you completely missed the point. Questioning the ruling party IS a crime in nearly ALL fascist states. THAT is the path we are currently heading down, and THIS is yet another example. Give away your privacy, think of the children!
Is the president a democrat or a republican. How exactly does one *set* a president anyways?
br
Perhaps you were referring to a PRECEDENT? I realize this is *just the internet*, but COME ON.
Yes, it's expensive. It turns out that the US absolutely DWARFS those *smaller countries* in GDP as well. It might be more expensive... but we have the money.
Seriously, can we just stop doing this everytime there is a new release of windows? When XP was released it was "OH MY GOSH, NOBODY LIKES XP!!! WINDOWS2000 WILL BE AROUND FOREVER!!!!". Now we're doing it all over again with Vista. There isn't a pattern or ANYTHING. Like maybe large enterprises that move at a snail's pace tend to adopt one rev behind.

Clearly the guy in the benz. He's out a good $50,000.

So I take it you don't fly often.

HE didn't leak ANYTHING. HE simply HOSTED the content. Subtle, but VERY important difference.
Except that *good lawyer* will probably end up costing you well north of $10,000 when it's all said and done if it goes beyond mailing a threat.

More than partially flame-tastic and incorrect.

they want to QUESTION THE RULING REGIME OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. you think its a bad thing the police know about them? fuck privacy.

You'd think being news for nerds, we could at least get "QWEST" down. That's pretty frigging sad.
Maybe the next headline can be "In other news today Sysco just launched a new core router".
