You can use the same mechanism that deploys the airbag to send the alert.
So you say things break. I guess air bags break, too. in which case, you are dead anyway.
I think you would end up with many false alarms with your 'GPS malfuctions=>send fire truck'... (i.e. your battery dies and you end up with medivac helicopter on your front lawn (please take as absurd example)).
It usually suggests that you disagree with a statement, as in usually followed by "I don't think so" or the like.
The quote it seems to be directed at seems to support the view of most tech folks.
To compare the 'internet bubble' with, say, the tulip bubble suggests there is a lot more valuable value added service with internet services than tulips. You buy a $10,000 tulip bulb and you are just making other rich idiots jealous. Making it easy for lazy-lovin' consumers to do less for more results sounds like a better business plan to me.
He's referring to Miranda getting murdered in prison. The suspect was read his Miranda rights and refused to incriminate himself. That case is therefore unsolved.
This is a reason that duplicate 'Ask Slashdot' columns happen. I have similar questions, I ask and nobody gets around to responding. I will grant that this is not much better than the original poster got.
This stuff could be the coolest consumer computer products in years, and yet/. as a whole spends more time dissecting whether preproduction "screenshots" from MSFT are ethical..
Anyway, I mostly posted this, so if I get to the point where I will have to 'Ask Slashdot' directly and get the obligatory "Dude, wasn't that question just asked this millenium?". I can then point them to my post to show that/. did not support conservation of bytes.
I have something of a SAN network set up at home, but it is not where I want it to be just yet. BTW, I am using ADS Pyro enclosures..
Of the os'es installed (latest {Free,Open}BSDs, Win2k and BeOS 5 pro) only the win2k server supports SBP-2, so it is the only machine able to mount them.
Even if another operating system could mount the drives, it would only be able to mount it read-only (assuming it could) since I am unable to get Win2k to mount these partitions as read-only. I am also unable to turn off the write cache, and since windows is not known for its stability, its an almost guarantee for scrambled data.(pointers desired if you have any)
Another thing I wonder about is direct node to node transfers. In theory, I should be able to transfer from one firewire device to another without going through a third party device (like a computer). Maybe the protocol does this automatically, maybe not, but it would be nice to use this for mirroring drives.
How would you compose a sentence to say that a situation is not one thing, but is also not the opposite?
In this case, the poster could not imagine a negative result, but that does not mean he is capable of imagining universality of a positive. Although this might not be explicitly stated, it is usually assumed.
.... This has nothing to do with the scientific community. 'School teachers' aren't exactly your usual hard core academic crowd.
I believe that the scientific community in general is more receptive to change than most. You can come up with worst case scenarios. How about the fact that less than 100 years after a famous scholar was threatened with death for his beliefs about the universe, his views were widely accepted? (galileo)
And where is the proof that is causing unreasonable impact on SSH Corp? We only have a brief statement from the accuser that he has received "significant amount of e-mail" without qualification (x per day for example, had to add 2 employees just to tell these people to buzz off, etc...).
IMHO, it is more akin to a chain letter than an email virus. It causes problems because some people are stupid. It is not because when a person has a question about a problem with a product, it automatically emails every vendor for every piece of software installed on the machine asking for resolution to their problem.
However, this support problem works both ways. Problems with other implementations end up in free ssh forums.
What a coincidence. I was thinking almost the same thing:
SSH Corp will earn my disdain if they don't make an offer to these freely offered products (maybe a license w/ a small one time fee (paid by supporters)), along with an agreement to put disclaimers on site, in docs, etc..
Also, the command line is another world. This has nothing to do with trademarks. If everybody's implementation had to use a different name, it would be confusing as hell. (gnuls kinda takes the beauty out of unix) Sym-link shim-link, it is the same thing. So what if the administrator makes the link, and the administrator does not implement it with a wrapper script that shouts at users when they use ssh that:
YOU ARE NOT USING SSH CORP BRAND SSH PRODUCTS, SO GET USED TO IT!!!! In these cases the basis for your suggestion goes out the window, the same 'confusion' exists.
What bristles me most about this is that 'ssh' is a common name now. Almost nobody says 'So with this service, I get SecSH with it, right?' (not 'secure shell' because that is Tatu's next baby).
So, when ever someone will talk of 'sshing' I will think of how SSH Corp allowed the name to become common, then struck their most able opponent.
A company I am associated with uses F-Secure SSH. F-Secure pays their taxes, but otherwise their product acts in the same ways as OpenSSH. It works and it uses the standard naming convention for the binaries (using symlinks for ssh, but as I mentioned above, it doesn't matter whether you are executing a binary or following a symlink to a binary, it is the same effect). By your standards F-Secure is diluting the ssh mark. The only way to tell F-Secure and OpenSSH (and SSH Corp if they still matter (just kidding, jeez)) is to telnet to the port or with the '-V' flag. Then it is clear what you are using.
If they lose in court it will be because of this delay.
Considering some of the more rabid trademark enforcers and the/. response... I'd have to say it would roll with the punches, along with a lot of name calling. BUT, they wouldn't ignore it as it seems Tatu has been ignoring OpenSSH.
>Who can honestly deny that OpenSSH has been hurt SSH's business?
Hurt as in:
ruined reputation of?
tied up phone lines/email hubs with incessant demands for support of OpenSSH?
shorted SSH corp's stock, making Tatu's stock worthless?
OR, was it competition that did it?
Please counsel, take all the time you need to peruse your client's papers searching for a clue as to how often and how recent 'earlier' and 'already' means.
I don't particularly care in the long run whether I am using OpenSSH or OpenSecSH. 'ssh' has long been the familiar protocol name for that service. If it were so important for other companies not to use the letters 'ssh' how come most (if not all) unices have 'ssh' as the name for the service that uses port 22?
Why would you expect a distribution released 3 months before these application updates were released to contain them? You wouldn't blame RedHat if they still had Apache 1.3.14, would you?
BSD just works when you do it the BSD way (which is explained in the above notes, how to cvsup). The ports 'just work' because alot of work went into making sure it does work, while supplying patches to help with any inconsistencies.
I don't think most of the excellent package management software for free OS'es is significantly different as far as the end result goes. They all work when you use them as designed.
These points do not conflict with this product. Your point one is also applies to this product. Your point 2 is subjective (for 20x the storage, drive will cost 6-8x more (I do not buy the $4-7 floppy drives; and people wonder why they are unreliable)). A agree with your point 3, but that just makes it easier to have compressed utilities on the disk and uncompress them onto the ramdisk, so reading/executing them doesn't require an extra decompression time. And anyway, right now you can get a 64mb dimm for 10-15 more than a 32mb dimm. Sounds like almost free memory.
The problem with HD's is they are too big. You just can't get a small to medium sized HD that is fast (relatively) and reliable (warranty VS 3 day return at computer show)
Also, disk-on-chip is much more expensive than this will be. A 32mb d-o-c costs about $120-130. This drive will be $40-$50 less, and the capacity is unlimited (because they are removable). As far as floppy disk reliability: I'm not saying I would trust any 'ol floppy, but if you were going this route, you could find the best floppy on the market.
I am not sure I follow you on the ejectable jumper on the CD. If it is mounted, you usually can't eject it w/o unmounting. If it is being used, you would need to be very rude (and therefore very privileged).. And when it reboots, (at least all of my machines) the cd is retracted when the bios resets. If you have any persistent writable media as well as the cd-rom, then you just make sure the bios will never be able to boot off that (of course the best thing is to not have it there in the first place).
I found the BSD's to be easier to set up and maintain. In the end that is what converted me. A day will come when tweaking the system is not what you look forward to, you just want something that just works.
Back on topic, I would rather be the person who can answer the basic questions about an OS than to be the one who has to ask for advice. Just because everybody speaks linux doesn't mean some aren't thinking about other OS'es.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Alright, I stand by most of my points: man pages, poor portability, bloat is not good, documentation is good, openbsd easy to follow instructions (its not like most of us haven't religiously copied install instructions on their first unix installs)..
I could have done without the first sentence. Sorry..
All you have proved to me is you don't know jack about BSD. If I were a poet I would sing songs for the BSD man pages, the best I have ever seen, and worth the price of the CD.
I would have to take the 'header' comment as a sign of poor portability on the part of the programmer, making the assumption the the end user is running linux. FreeBSD, at least (perhaps others) runs linux binaries with the addition of a kernel module and the addition of libraries. I will grant that this is not as straight forward as it could be, but the only way to make it simpler would be to install it by default, which most people probably don't need. If you are compiling your own binaries, you already know something, and would probably spend less effort using the ports instead ('make && make install').
The only assumption I will make is that if someone doesn't understand what they are trying to do (presumably what they want to do), they should read documentation. I consult documentation on all sorts of things that I don't do on a regular basis (car maintenance, electronics setup). Anybody who doesn't make that minimal effort wouldn't have been helped much by a cute teddy bear leading them through a touchy feely menu. Oh, and network security for most people is that simple. install OpenBSD. If they don't know more than just installing it, they are in a much better position than if the same person installed any other system (assume same intelligence level, so no comparisons to say "trusted solaris"). Personally, the openbsd setup is the easiest I have ever used. The worst part is the disk layout, which the CD shows a full example of it in operation. I will grant that a clueless newbie would not know about man pages without being prompted by it. If you can get to that point, documentation is not a problem.
Lastly, the same could be said of anything: more experience helps.
I agree that 'Unlimited' bandwidth is a misnomer, but I also believe that so would saying we live in an 'infinite bandwidth' environment. Maybe 'incredibly massively even by ten years from now way way outside anything that we can do for just one person', but not infinite. You have a limited number of cells in your eyes, ears, tongue, nose and skin. They fire at speeds lower than some number I can't say (because I don't know).. Or another way, there are a finite amount of particles either in the universe, or that we can interact with (my fall back position).
My suggestion: replace 'unimaginable [to most non dreamers]' or 'incredible [for 2001]' with unlimited in the article.
