  6. Re:Do your research... on Data Center Move Goes Awry for TypePad · · Score: 1

    My real question is if they really have that many servers, that much traffic, and are pulling that much power.. have they ever thought of hosing in more than one data center.. they could have set up a few servers at the new place and slowly move over services with out people noticing - instead they did a major swap and now getting screwed by their lack of design, forthough, i don't know.. jsut seems dumb to me..

    I still use a StarTac they can only triangulate me when i make a call.. i keep having to fix the phone (replace the screen the wireing harnes) but it works.. funny thing is that if i disconnect it or switch services it is aginst the law for them to reactivate the phone because it doens't support "E911" which is where the phone can transmit it's location when you place a 911 call.. yea.. orginaly i was keeping the startac becuse i like it and i had all the damn stuff for it already.. but i think i will keep it for ever or atleast until the government makes it agisnt the law for them to take my money if i use it.

  11. Re:Do hosting companies have a survival instinct ? on Microsoft To Enter Hosting Business · · Score: 1

    I don't mind hosting exchange for users... the web mail for 2003 is nice... and the outlook2003 cached exchange mode is nice... even for large number of users... the trick is.. for all mail that come in and goes out... i have some slackware boxes handling everything... mail comes in to send mail.. and is handled for spam/virus then passed to exchange.. user sends mail exchange forwards it to send mail and it handles the rest.. i know it seems like an odd way of doing it but it is quite nice.. you have exchange which is nice for work groups and companies but none of it's flaws in the fact that it can't handle mail with the rest of the world right.. And when exchange might happen to die sendmail will buffer so nothing is lost...

  12. Re:Turn off all the other featurs on Does Visual Studio Rot the Brain? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    i know many people that code.. some of them ar die hards and want notepad/vi/joe others want a full blown ide and try not to look at code.. the die hards are the ones that make quality software the others make nice looking stuff.. personaly i fall just short of the die hard.. i am mainly in windows so i use editplus, a wonderful app.. and only open VS when i want to play with laying out forms because well it makes sence.. personaly i hate the way they have the code interface.. it is almost like they don't want you to be there

  13. Re:pay raise.. did i miss something on Are Skimpy Raises the New Normal? · · Score: 1

    what i was saying is you agree to a rate.. if you want more you tell them they say yes or no .. you stay or leave. when you get a loan do you expect them to change the rate on you just becuse they feel they need more money..

    it has to works both ways..

    as for retirement i do plan on working to the grave.. even though i do save for retirement i have no intentions of quiting.. i have seen too many people waist away doing nothing when they retire.. if i can be productive i will.

  16. pay raise.. did i miss something on Are Skimpy Raises the New Normal? · · Score: 1

    The way the market is going for Sys Admins I don't get pay raises... at my current job they are just paying me for more of the hours I work... but right now I am caped out so I might try and take a day off here in the next year or so..

    I don't expect more money than I agreed to... if it isn't enough money for me to work there I don't - I feel that when you agree to a pay rate that is what you get.. If you prove to go above and beyond and make it worth it for them to give you more money then so be it, but be happy with what you have... all I know is I make twice what my wife does and she is a school teacher, they expect her to go above and beyond for nothing, in fact less than cost of living increases.. And you know that 1,500 they are supposed to get from good old "W" for doing good with the no child left behind... she saw less than 600 of that due to "special" taxes.. That in my mind is someone agreeing (forcibly) to something and getting shafted.

    So as far as I am concerned... if you can feed your family and keep a roof over your head and set a little back for rainy days you are doing well. Else find a new job.

    personaly i run the p4 northwook chips they run a hell of alot cooler than the presscraps and honestly they are just as fast.. when intel move from .13 to .09 i think they messed up - instead of using less power and making less heat they went the other way - hell even my daul 2.4 xeons (the old 533) only consume about 180w - i don't know where they are going but i hope their mendra thing comes soon..

  19. Re:insecure software on Insecure Code - Vendors or Developers To Blame? · · Score: 1

    I would have to agree with this.. but some times as a coder you just can't think of everything - hell there is always some way you can screw something up.. atleast any software big enough to sell for real money... either it is going to take forever to get software out there or there will be bugs.. but then again nothing is perfect that is why we have diffrent versions.. we make it we use it we see something wrong we fix it.. it is the a$$'s that use it see something wrong and exploit it that need to be beat across the head with a brick, don't start charging me becuause i didn't think of every posiable way to breake something.. it just isn't humanly posiable
