I have quite a few Solaris systems plugged into a SAN and I've never seen ZFS automatically grow to fill a LUN I've expanded at the SAN. There are numerous threads and complaints about this on the sun.com forums.
Now, it does automatically resize itself if you create another LUN and assign it to the zpool... if that's what you're talking about.
If you don't want to abide by a specific term or condition, you don't get to use the product. That's just not how a free market works, and you know it.

61C on a video card isn't much to worry about. Using RivaTuner I used to watch an 8800gts creep up to 90C and it never died. Unfortunately, taking comfort in knowing your video cards won't get cooked isn't very useful when you're worried about the other nearby devices.
For what it's worth my old temps were in an antec sonataII case. When I switched over to the antec 900 my 8800gts temps dropped to the 55-60C range. Maybe a new case is the aftermarket part you're looking for?
Seems to me the problem isn't bittorrent. I happen to pay for a 7.5mbit down, 1.5mbit up connection. So does everyone else with my provider.
But, I guess the internet providers pass out bandwidth the way banks pass out money - that is, all the customers have a certain bandwidth to share and the provider simply hopes no more than 10% of their customers (or whatever the number is) will make a run on the bandwidth all at the same time.
How about you give and guarantee me the bandwidth I pay for? You know, the bandwidth in all your advertising and contracts? I never use more than my 7.5/1.5mbit connection, so there should be no reason that me maxing out my connection should interfere with anybody else - if it does that's because it's really shared bandwidth (not the bandwidth that I bought which should belong to me, used however I see appropriate), and perhaps we should look at fixing your infrastructure problems and business model instead of pointing at my usage habits?
That black mark certainly is meaningful. There are very few people who buy houses in cash, for example, and that black mark can be particularly painful. Not to mention companies are beginning to pull credit reports during the interview process for employees.
My Gym accidentally called collections on me (sent in the wrong account number or some crap). Tomorrow I get to go in for a home loan application... can't wait for the fun trying to sort that out.
I was once on comcast because they offered unlimited usage when other companies were charging based on hourly usage. Once I figured out their definition of "unlimited" I left.
If it's advertised as unlimited I want to be able to use 100% of my pipe 100% of the time. That's what I signed up for and if the companies infrastructure can't handle it they need to let use know what quotas and restrictions we're under - none of this vague "majority usage" wording, I want specifics.
It's a programming language for programming a type of CPU called an FPGA.
It can certainly be used to program an FPGA, but that is not the limitation of what it can "program." To clarify for others, Verilog is a description language: you don't build programs with it, you describe hardware layout. It's kind of misleading to refer to it as a programming language in my opinion. Verilog can be used (well, is used) to fab chips.
Anyway, discussing the paradigm difference between C and Verilog is like comparing a Buick to a Playstation. The languages are completely functionally different, and learning Verilog kind of requires you know something about Logic Circuit design outside of the language.
So you think having a couple of tech monkies getting paid $50k plus per year to sit around playing solitaire and waiting in case something goes wrong, even though they didn't develop the browser, don't have the source code for the browser, and likely only know as much as the F1 button will tell them, is a better choice?
No, you should and probably do have in-house IT staff anyway. This wasn't a suggestion to hire another employee to do nothing but support firefox.
Additionally, in house IT support troubleshoot and fix issues with software they didn't develop, don't have source code for - all the time. For example: I didn't write windows. I don't have the source code for windows... I fix windows problems all the time.
There's not a whole lot that can go wrong with firefox to begin with...
I don't know how it is in other or many states, but in my state (Colorado) employment is considered "at will" of both the employee and the employer. The employer's right to fire any employee for any reason is protected, and wrongful termination doesn't really exist.
For example, my best friend got fired for not showing up to sexual harassment training. His company scheduled his training for a day he had off to begin with, and it happened to be he was on his way to the funeral of two girls he witnessed die (in the New Life shooting, actually). Since Colorado is an "at will" state there's no grounds for a lawsuit, even though this is absolutely a wrongful termination.
The company I work for just (as in, this past week) replaced all the fluorescent ceiling lights. fluorescents don't really dim on their own, but each of our light fixtures is a set of 5 bulbs, giving you 6 levels of light intensity (from off to all 5 on, and everything in between).
The point is it's not a terribly difficult problem to overcome, but it's probably going to require replacement of the light fixture not just the "bulb."
"Also, we have to wonder why the US (the country where the Food Pyramid originated) is also where the "fatness" phenomenon originated, and why the countries that start to follow the "american way of life" (fast food, sedentary life, high-calory carb snacks) tend to follow american's fatness. This phenomenon, at least country-wise, behaves like an epidemic."
What is there to wonder about? If your way of life is eat crappy food and never exercise, you're going to get fat.
Caps only need to be charged once, not continually. Power is indeed saved overall because we don't need a constant stream (however small) to be used up over long periods of time while the device is in standby.
yes, this does save power.
The idea is to use the capacitor to hold a finite amount of charge during standby that will be used to flip the device back on. Without the capacitor you are consuming energy at some rate, for however long the device is in standby mode. So instead of using a constant stream of electricity, you store the needed burst of energy and use it when needed.
this is a good explanation except for you assuming I'm using torrent to download/distribute copyright material. Moreover, I am offended at your assumption that I listen to Kanye West.
Anyway, question answered.
I'm not sure if the DMCA says anything about it, but it seems to me that any person looking at any traffic you aren't sending to them is (or should be) illegal. How would this be relevantly different from an illegal wire (phone) tap?
well, getting the pun out of the way and bringing this to seriousness... a bar-coded id, I think, would really make fake IDs more common. As it is now, if I go to a bar or a liquor store or something some guy checks my ID to make sure the birthdate is good and that the picture matches me. If we let everyone get lazy all they have to do is scan it and get a green light... thus all someone needs to do is get an ID that says 21 and the bar-keeps handheld ID checker gives out the green light. Nobody has to look at the picture.
Qwest DSL was my only alternative, too. Glad I made the switch.
7meg all to myself.
I don't get TOS letters for using too much bandwidth in one month.
I don't get fake packets ruining bit-torrent and google.
seems like an easy choice to me.
What *would* be nice is if, with comcast, I actually got what I paid for. They advertise that I can pay them $xx for 24/7 internet connection at yyMbit down and zzMbit up. As long as I'm not going beyond that bandwidth, there shouldn't be any issues. If they have a problem with monthly bandwidth accumulations, they should make that clear to their customers. Beyond that, it shouldn't matter what I use my bandwidth for as long as I'm not breaking the down/up/monthly limits they have (it doesn't cost them more for me to send 2megs of a picture or 2megs of a legal.iso over bitTorrent). Maybe other stuff is in the TOS but that thing needs to be re-written, in my opinion.
And that's why I don't have comcast. My DSL provider doesn't care if I regularly go through hundreds of gigs of downstream bandwidth every month. I pay for 24/7 of a bandwidth speed, and that's what I should be able to use.

Not copyright-breakers, just the type of people the RIAA are going after. It's predatory and this judge is starting to realize that notion.

Shouldn't good programmers have an interest in or knowledge of OSes and PChardware? It's important to know the consequences of your algorithms.

the relay, in it's on state, isn't going to use up enough energy to get excited about.

surprised you didn't get TOSed for hosting HTTP...
Done. I left comcast about 8 months ago for their shenanigans. Wish others had the sense to do the same.
