... How the heck do you back these things up? I've got a 400Gb NetApp filer (network raid array), and backing it up is a royal pain. How in the !#$^& do you backup 11Tb?
Apparently at the annual USENIX conference, there was a talk which mentioned the fact that 1Tb disks on the desktop would not be outrageous in the next few years. That's what I'd need. All of the engineers w/ 1Tb of storage space.
The makefile was easy (took about 5 minutes to whip up), and configure would be a definate plus! Unfortunately, this new version doesn't seem to work very well. I compiled it on both Linux and Solaris -- both versions will get a fatal error on some.wav files (ripped w/ cdparanoia), and if the encoding does "succeed", the mp3 file is basically garbage.
Is there a bladeenc mailing list available? I'm thinking my problem may or may not be related to the optimization setting (since the "compile" file had a different setting than the other set of code), so I'll have to poke around at it.
I really do love using v0.76 though. Have it running during "spare cycles" across the corporate LAN. Was up to 32 sessions going at once.;)
I currently have a Millenium G200 w/ the Rainbow Runner attachment. My idea was to have a decently fast video board that I could do video capture with. So far, I've only really done 2D stuff with the board, and it's darn fast for that.
The video board is only useful in Windows, unfortunately. So here's what I'm wondering:
Does anyone know of plans to support the Rainbow Runner cards in the future? (I don't know if specs are released, otherwise I would know the answer.)
I haven't really found a need for 3d acceleration or OpenGL stuff under Linux yet, so I'd be tempted to purchase the Metro Link OpenGL w/ MetroX stuff before buying a new card. They're about the same price, and I wouldn't need to do hardware swaps again. (Plus, I already use MetroX, so it's not that big a jump.)
Why buy NT 5.0 when I can have Red Hat 6.0 -- it's a bigger number, man!
Wow, you missed the Sun maneuver... They were going to introduce SunOS 5.7 (aka Solaris 2.7), but decided that they needed a bigger number; they changed the name to Solaris 7.
RedHat would be very well advised to avoid even the appearance of trying to corner the distro market. 'CodeWarrior for RedHat Linux' is a PR disaster at best.
Was it RedHat asking that they name it "CodeWarrior for RedHat Linux", or did the CodeWarrior people just decide to do it on their own? If RedHat just made a deal to get CodeWarrior available for Linux, who cares what the title is. The CodeWarrior guys are new to the Linux market, and as such probably went looking for the "market leader". RH is it. At least they know there are 39+ different distros out there. They're probably worried that the title "CodeWarrior for Linux" will cause the people using the "way in left field" distros to call in for support when it has nothing to do with CW.
This is part of the reason that I think a standard that all distros can follow in terms of file layout, standard binaries available, etc., would be really useful. The CW guys could then get away with "CodeWarrior for Linux", and in their "system requirements" section, have "Any Linux Standards XYZ based distribution." Simple, easy. <shrug>
So when's the expected date of the IPO anyway? There's no mention on the press release about it. I assume somewhere in the 90-180 day time frame, but...
Another company I'd like to get in on because I like their products. They're right alongside Network Appliance, Cisco, and Sun.
Even if they are running it on Solaris (or Linux or whatever), and they already have the talent/hardware to run Apache, they won't. They'd rather pay for Netscape than use Apache for free. Because if Apache doesn't cost money, how can it be worth anything?
Don't stereotype every company with this statement. Where I work, we've been using NS server (on Solaris) for both internal and external web sites because the people in marketting were in control of server maintenance. They wanted a nice, simple, easy interface, and NS has that.
My boss and I (UNIX/Net admins), however, were finally given control over the server (and marketting gets content). I've already started planning the switch to Apache, and no one has any issues with it. (One of the marketting guys mistakenly brought up "well, if everyone can see the source code, it must be less secure because they can find the bugs!"... guess how long it took me to correct him?) We're switching for various reasons, mostly because Apache is good (and free), I've been using Apache since it was the NCSA server (and therefore prefer using it), and the version of NS that we have isn't Y2K compliant.
Anyway, point is that not all companies are run by PHB type managers. Some places actually leave the technical decisions to those of us with technical expertise.
M$ doesn't have much to worry about, most consumers assume that M$ makes the better (or best) application sets, so if they make a web browser for linux (charging a nominal fee for it of course), that's what the cattle population will use, even if there is a free alternative.
But... if you're one of the "cattle population", would you even be using Linux? Obviously Windows must be better, so you'd be running 98 or NT.
I don't care what people say, I don't believe anyone runs Linux just because they hate M$ products -- those people would probably want to use a Mac in that case. People run Linux because of a billion other reasons -- more control over what the computer is doing; get to learn about the design of a "real" OS; they're used to UNIX or want to learn UNIX; they need a reliable solution to a problem; etc, etc, etc. Hating M$ isn't reason enough, there has to be something else.

1) know how to break down the movie and put it back on reels
Why does the film have to be broken down? I've helped move a full platter of film before. You clamp down the film so it doesn't sprawl all over the place while you're moving it, and then you pick up the film. Simple, easy.
It is a multi-person job, but it's not very hard to do. Then you just walk the film out of the building. (It would get a little hairy through the doorways, but...)
I'm sure we'll have our share of 2.0.34s in the future, too.
I just have to say that I love that kernel. I have a system that's currently been up for 347 days (plus another 160 if you count the uptime before the power outage...) on 2.0.34.
I've found the 2.2 kernels to be good so far though -- the linux pool at work has been up for just over 64 days on 2.2.2-ac3. 2.2.5 on another box was over 45 days before I upgraded it to 2.2.9.
Pre-ordered mine just because I've been waiting for it, but the "off the shelf" ones would be good for gifts... I know a few people who can get early B-day presents.;)
I won't worry until they start releasing non-GPL software.
Oh-no... Here we go with the "RH is the next M$" crap again. RH is probably getting all of the corporate backing because RH has the largest marketshare of Linux AND is a real company. Who would Dell give money to for Debian? It's like when IBM was dealing with the Apache guys... "It's hard to negotiate with a web site..."
I personally use RedHat because that's what came with the box when I bought it (VAr...) RH is simple to install, simple to use (since we're a UNIX house...) and they're more aiming at the business market than most other distros. (Caldera is business-only oriented, but from what I've heard, it's an older RH (4.2?) with some pretty programs thrown on.)
So... Who cares if people are supporting RH and not Slackware, or Debian, or one of the other bunch of distros out there? RH is a company making money off of free software -- they give out what they produce as free software. Companies can't invest & support all of the different distros out there, so they pick the market leader in the business sense -- and that's RedHat.
If you want to use a different Linux, go ahead. No one is stopping you.
They're not paranoid in this case -- they're still in the denial stage of things: Don't want to admit to anyone that there's an operating system other than Windows.
If the kernel can control the PSN switching, why not make it one of those settable kernel options? Set the default when compiling the kernel to whatever the user wants, and do one of those "echo 1 >/proc/sys//psn" things to enable it.
... I'm glad I call into work for Internet access. Next they'll be saying that calls to a radio station are long distance too since your voice can be broadcast further than your local calling area.
I watched the first few episodes -- and I really liked them. Then after they became a real show, it went downhill. Years later, they're finally going away. Boo hoo.

A group (in this case, a company) who can make definitive and correct press releases about Linux -- new updates, new features, FUD corrections, etc.
I'm tired of having FUD come out, people bitch about it, and the media running the piece doesn't get a correction update about where they were wrong.
