Right back at you. We tried out a Dell server at work (2650 iirc). It crashed 3 times during the install (kickstart), and then within an hour of putting any load on it. Needless to say, the server only stayed in the rack for about 2 days before we shipped it back.
The IBM xSeries, OTOH, perform flawlessly for us.
So from my POV, the Dells are cheaper, but they're also less expensive.:)
IMO, get the vendors to give you a test box and play with them. Go from there.
At ApacheCon 2004, there will be 3 presentations about SpamAssassin: a 3-hour tutorial covering SpamAssassin as a whole, a 1-hour talk about the new features in 3.0, and a 1-hour talk about using the new SQL features.
Sorry for the plug, but I thought may be interested.:)
It's certainly possible to do so, but by our definition, viruses aren't spam, so that's why "... mails containing viruses often fail some spamassassin tests.":)
It would be semi-trivial, though, to write a plugin to push out application/* parts to clamav or something and score a rule hit if clamav flags it.
The devel work on 3.1 is (currently) including a generic "find binaries" plugin which would let you search for generic snippets of attachment such as Microsoft executables, ZIP attachments, etc. It's more for demonstration than standard use, but...
As an FYI: SpamAssassin 3.0.0 handles the redirectors internally, so http://example.com/?http://myexample.com/ becomes 2 SURBL queries: example.com and myexample.com.
SA will also deencode parts appropriately, so that doesn't help them either.:)
There are definitely some ways to get around this type of thing, but we'll deal with that when we get to it.
I had the same concern when I got a notification about the upgrade. I ended up calling them to say I didn't want the new phone, but they told me that there was actually no requirement to send the old phone back and if I wanted to keep the new phone in case the t68 died or something.
Their product is basically a highly optimized MTA with built-in personalization capabilities. As far as I know, the box is just a "standard" server-class PC. Probably running BSD or Linux.
The personalization stuff is basically the ability to give, say, 1000 email addresses and a message, and also some macro values (first name, last name, etc,) for each address. If the MTA connects successfully, it rewrites the message on the fly for delivery. The big upshot here is that you don't need to submit each individual mail to your sending MTA, and therefore it doesn't need to handle thousands/millions of files in the spool directory.
I'm sure there are more features than just that, but when my employer was looking at them, that was the main feature I remember.
Actually that's a fallacy as well. The X tons of "plant material" went to feed the cow, not make it. At least, I haven't seen a cow made of hay, but I haven't been on a farm in a while.;)
just to correct myself... apparently the echo is in fact a compact. I don't know where I read that it was a subcompact, but http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/noframes/18610.shtm l shows that the 2003 (I also checked 2000 and 2001) Echo is a compact. mea culpa.
Yeah, I say the same thing. I want US gas prices to be $2-$4/gal. With the current ~$1.85/gal price, the local newspaper had an article titled (paraphrased) "Soaring gas prices make people reexamine walking to get around."
But most Americans tend to feel entitled to lots of things, including cheap gas prices, and I'm not really sure why. People don't seem to complain about the $6/gal price of bottled water, but somehow $2/gal for a liquid that lets you go in an hour what it would have taken over a week of preparation and travel 100 years ago is just completely outrageous.
Just to add to this, I checked out the Civic at a recent local alternate transportation festival here in Eastern MA a month or so ago. It was a nice car, if you like the plain sedan sort of thing, but my biggest problem was the steering wheel... Even when adjusted all the way up, trying to get in the car caused my leg to hit the bottom of the wheel. I had to contort the right leg while trying to sit down and then straighten it out once I was in.
The Prius has no such problem for me. It's also much roomier feeling (if not in fact) than the Civic.
Another main difference (besides the powertrain) is that the Echo is a sub-compact and the Prius (2001-2003) is a compact. So I'm not surprised/happy the echo gets decent MPG, but it's apples + oranges.
letters telling them they are denied use of gcc, samba, apache, perl and all the other mainstays of modern computing that are released under the GPL. I'm not suggesting engaging in any illegal activity but what is kneaded here is attack
errr... apache is released under the ASL (Apache Software License), and perl is under (surprise) the PAL (Perl Artistic License).
you can see the pattern of going from GPL to any other license that allows multiple copies to be made/advocates free distribution, but don't assume all standard open-source software packages are GPL.
I'm getting spammed by Kerry. I signed up for some online petition he sponsored, which apparently also signed me up for his newsletters (it didn't say anything about that), so I tried unsubscribing. Then I got a second mail. So I tried unsubscribing again. Then I got a third mail, this time I just responded, according to the mail, to the campaign manager, explaining that the mails are considered spam and they need to remove me from their list.
I just got a fourth mail. So now I just treat them as spam and report them with all due speed.
Last year I had to rush over to a client to look at why they couldn't send email with their lawyers and, ironically, the firm I worked for (which was an on-going issue).
Turns out that a previous admin blocked all the "reserved" nets, including the 65/8 net which the lawyers and my firm were in.
Blocking these seems like a good idea, but it tends to get neglected and only causes problems in practice.
Remember, this is the same group who fought tooth and nail against the Clean Elections Law (publically funded candidates who meet certain requirements). It passed by a long shot by the voters. A few candidates met all the requirements, but they didn't want to give them money, and they didn't budget any money to give out. After a lot of fighting, courts ruled that the state had to sell a number of assets (vehicles mostly) to fund the candidates. The people already in office have war chests, they don't care about funds -- but hey if they can stop people who may be good candidates but lack funds, well... why not? Stupid politicians.
XFS also allows you to grow the filesystem live (ie: mounted). This is great for those of us who use it in conjunction with a volume manager (I use LVM). lvextend to enlarge the volume, growfs to enlarge the filesystem. No downtime required.:)
It's also a 64-bit filesystem, so you could have extremely large files and filesystems, although my understanding is that the Linux VFS system can't handle the large sizes right now (1Tb max filesystem for instance). XFS is the standard filesystem for SGI's IRIX which doesn't have the restrictions.:)
Actually, ranged weapons are allowed if they're tethered. Battlebots Regulations, top of page 48. To be fair, however, things like lasers, electricity weapons (tazer, etc), explosives, liquids, etc, are not allowed.
I'm currently working in the IT industry, and have a fairly decent job at the moment. However, I find myself interested in cooking more and more, even entertaining the notion of a career change. I'm not sure if it will ever happen, but I should have a plan if my current job disappears, right?
So here's the question (it's actually two questions, but they're fairly related): What advice would you give to a person who wants to become a chef as a career choice?
Related to that question: what advice would you give a person who wants to become a better chef personally, short of changing careers? Watching cooking-related TV shows and reading books (including yours of course) only gets a person so far. For instance, how useful are things like the FCI's Amateur courses? (The FCI webpage for those interested...)
People on FN tend to have a "day job", seemingly any of: being a chef, running a kitchen/restaurant (which Tony Bourdain said on a recent "A Cook's Tour" is the majority of a chef's job), etc. What do you do for a "day job" when not working on Good Eats? I know of Be Square Productions; what do you folks do/work on there? Do you work outside of TV?
Alton, love the show, love the book -- keep on rockin!
First question: There are several people on FN which have multiple shows (Emeril, Flay, and Rachel Ray come to mind immediately). Has there been any discussions about a second AB show?
The rebate form is still available from Amazon (see another product listed in the rebate form such as PartitionMagic) listing Jaguar. Unless they post or otherwise make it known to those who have ordered/who are ordering, that the rebate is no longer valid (which according to the Mac OS X 10.2 page hasn't happened), they need to honor it. Otherwise how is it different than bait-and-switch?
I ordered it from them pre 1900PDT on 7/31, so according to the article it'll still be honored. If it's not though, I will dispute the charge through my credit card company since it's clearly a rebate for which I qualify, and I have the document to prove it.
I don't know the legalities involved, but I assume that they're ok if they announce the rebate no longer applies before the product is charged.
Well, the First Amendment protects your right to criticize the government, not listen to music how you choose. This law doesn't guarantee you any rights either, it just limits the rights of these folks to not inhibit what you do with your own stuff.

Extrapolating from this, I'm not worried about OSS Solaris killing off anything -- it looks nice on the outside, but has no substance inside. ;)
