that would be nice except the National Cancer Institutes re-analysis of cancer incidence indicates that the number of people *getting* cancer is increasing, the apparent recent falling was just do to time lag of disease reports coming in recent decade. The new results: breast cancer up 0.6% a year since 1987, lung cancer in women up 1.2% per year since 1996. Melenoma in white males up 4.1% a year since 1981, the report goes on & on, more people getting cancer, no doubt for technological reasons.
No, no one would want SGI's revenue with SGI's expenses and SGI's debt. $66M cash, $300M debt, book value per share -0.94, return on assets -12%, profit margin -15.37%. Dude, your company is going down in flames. Very sad, I was an IRIX admin and even had Indigo2 as home computer until 2 years ago, but SGI lost its leadership a long time ago in the mid 90's.
I pay money to have a server to run my domains, the government could subpoena all my files I'm storing there if it wanted to. Maybe some cracker could get in there too, either by password or subverting a service. Now google is offering some storage space that could also be subject to the same thing. No big deal. Don't like it, don't use it.
punctuation marks carried an extra charge, while the four character word STOP was free. So the best way to escape STOP would be to use punctuation characters to end sentences.
There is replication (master to multiple slave) for POstgresql, see slony1 , or google for commercial replication and clustering solutions for postgresql
yeah, you missed something. We're in a war on [emotion]! I forget which [emotion] exactly at the moment, but pretty sure either love or terror or something. The [emotion] will never get the best of us on Dumbayoo's watch, no siree!
yup, global warming is about averages over many year, like 0.6 degrees C per decade since the 70's, a couple warm days in a winter month mean nothing, been happening for thousands of years. Heck, today in the past 20 years it's been as hot as 50 degrees F and as low as -26 degrees F in my town.

Love my Ruby, but Perl is still fun & exciting. Even has some advantages over other scripting languages: installed by default in most commercial Unix and open source OS, most libraries, and usually the fastest if execution time is a factor. Of course, syntax looks like line noise and variable scoping back-assword and oo an aftermarket bolt-on, but that's part of the fun.

Lexical (static compile time) scoping in a dynamic language? Something's broken alright, but it ain't Ruby
bollocks meetings! I'd say 50% of the meetings I've had to go in my 24 years in corporate life were completely useless. Most of the remainder were somewhat useful. Too many people suffer from "Fidel Castro" syndrome, using a meeting to show themselves off and pontificate to increase their self-importance. I'd love to see some of these wankers forbidden to hold a meeting for a month, and after a couple training sessions on holding an effective meeting, be on probation and allowed to maybe hold a 20 minute one.
I meant a lander/rover type vehicle for exploration, the Russian probes lasted from minutes to almost 2 hours before they fried (the best that could be hoped/designed for).
are you suggesting a lander on venus or mercury? It likely is way beyond our technological means to make machinery that could operate under such conditions.

I have a plan to get your money out, all I need is a roll of a hundred of the new 39 cent stamps. Send postage paid to me and I'll fix you up.
Living in the midwest, didn't have any problem keeping "cadence breaking" (first time I've pumping called that, btw) skills current, on slippery winter roads and bridges had to do it every year, saved my butt a few times, especially on a ramp where I had to stop and be turning at the same time, you lock the front wheels, you can't steer anymore....
you can force a repair of a mounted read-only XFS (including root) partition. It's just an unsafe practice.
from the man page xfs_repair(8):
-d Repair dangerously. Allow xfs_repair to repair an XFS filesystem
mounted read only. This is typically done on a root fileystem
from single user mode, immediately followed by a reboot.
But the right way to do it (whether running XFS or reiserfs or xfs or ext2/3 or whatever) is to have machine already set up to have alternate root partition.
The SGI developers you spoke with probably were hinting that piss-poor admin practices shouldn't be considered.
not special hardware, such things are built into "real" servers as standard equipment, e.g. HP's ILO boards. Even using a cheap %40 eBay bought PC as a server, there's still plenty of options if trouble needing fsck on root partition, good to have a backup or emergency boot parition anyway regardless of filesystem used. After all, I've had older reiserfs and ext filesystems that couldn't be fixed at all (have to give this v4 stuff a whirl sometime)

shame on you for making such sexist remarks. My wife is so livid she's calling 15 of her friends to tell them what a male chauvinist pig you are.

quite true, but none that lasted even 2 hours. I was thinking of exploration like the mar's rovers, would be cool but way beyond current technology.

not SOL with the right server grade hardware, just upload the CD ISO image to the remote management board on the server and boot from it.
heh, "several" Linux distros, there's over 90 of them!
