    You might find something new in the "industrial PC" market but you will pay a hefty premium for the "Industrial" moniker.
    Ebay isn't a bad option though. http://www.nixsys.com/isa-slot...

    It's best you look at webshops that hold "(refurbished) server components" for stuff like this.

    I think those days are over. There is still a lot of demand for old memory in other markets (embedded). At this moment I can get a stick of 2 GB ram for: 50 $ (DDR), 30 $ (DDR2), 20$ (DDR3). I wouldn't call that super expensive.

    Reminds me of all the stupid ISP's Internet portals back in the 90s that also tried to "ease" people into the world wide web.
    Or all those school documentaries that were 3 decades out of date even when they were being made.

    I obviously have some wiring wrong but that just annoys me so so much.

    Nobody likes condescending language. And why does the notification center need to bleep because it's "adding new features".

    A laissez-fair economy sucks as well. It makes the bullies and cutthroats rise to the top without any negative repercussions.

    I can't do that as much as I would like to. All the old PC"s (DOS/Win 3.11/Win9x) at work are control PC's which speak to
    lab equipment over (proprietary) serial/parallel dialects or use old ISA acquisition boards.
    It really sucks when you're locked ancient software and hardware.

    True we have more choice. But I can't maintain my own KDE/Gnome fork.
    And let's not forget that the trinity, cinnamon and mate teams all have their own agenda's.
    And one day you might need to fork the fork and its libs, which again is something I'm not capable of :D.

    In the perfect "best man for the job" world this would be the case.
    But in today's world where IT service is considered a mass commodity item and thus has to be cheap.
    This usually means no training or training given by IT.

  15. Re:How about this on Object Storage and POSIX Should Merge · · Score: 1

    That all works fine and dandy if you "tag" all your data properly in the first place.
    Now you have two data stores to manage: the actual filesystem and the database of metadata.

    I still don't understand exactly what this Object-storage "fad" is all about.
    Is it a a limited special purpose filesystem that hooks into a webserver instead of the normal VFS or other disk subsystems ?
    Now isn't the Range HTTP header used to effectively "fseek/read" in a file.

  18. Re: Translations on City of Munich Struggling With Basic Linux Functionality · · Score: 1

    Is anyone really still running Kde 3.x or better yet Kde 2.x ? Libraries get updated and break compatibility all the time. And while you can use the source good luck building, packaging and maintaining that software on a modern distro.

  21. ECC on Windows Memory Manager To Introduce Compression · · Score: 1

    Doesn't this make ECC memory even more needed ?
    Since compression is the process of reducing redundant information, any bit flip could kill the entire compressed unit.

    That's disk compression not memory compression.

    Let's be honest here. Is a new (inherited debian) init system really relevant to a pentester's distro ?
    No.
