I've got just one question: Does it support XFS yet? We use BackupPC, which generates millions of files, and easily fills an ext3 filesystem with inodes. This is the only thing that's keeping me from switching to RHEL/CentOS from Fedora.
I just got home today to find that my Nvidia card on my MythTV system has 3 blown caps (probably through no fault of NVidia). I'll probably be picking up an ATI card to replace it. It's well worth it to have the piece of mind that my card will be supported in the future.
Uh. Yeah. I don't think I've worked for a single employer who hasn't done this. To honestly think otherwise is to simply mislead yourself. I think that most managers who reproduce these articles on the copy machine figure that it's a limited distribution that falls under some interpretation of fair-use. Regardless of the strict legality of it, it's most certainly a commonplace activity which isn't even given a second thought by most people.
Hell, the way I see it, I rarely read AP or UPI, or some other PHB newsprint if it weren't for these. I usually get my news from other sources. They should be thankful that my boss drops this on my desk for them. At least then they get the ad revenue without the cost of distribution (when the ads are left in place).
From TFA: "Now, consider that without on-screen controls, the entire screen could be devoted to content."
I read this as I notice that the article only fills maybe 25% of my screen, due to some column-size constraint placed upon the page by the blog software. How about allowing me to make use of the interface I already have before getting all nit-picky about menubars and buttons taking up relatively minute amounts of screen real-estate?
Ok. That explains it. The only connection that I could see between this and Google was the fact that Google's facilities are well-known energy guzzlers, and hybrids are perceived as energy-sippers.
Really, this carbon-offset fad is BS. If I piss in the pool, but pay you not to, does that make the pool cleaner? It's the environmentalist equivalent of indulgences in the religious context. If you really drink the environmentalist Kool-Aid, you'd stop pissing in the pool to begin with, and find a way to power your massive datacenters off of solar power, wind power or some other totally ineffective technology.
Either that or get over it and put your money to better use.
Once again, the question I have is: Why is it every time a Slashdot story is posted negatively portraying a Republican, the (R) is prominently displayed as if it were the scarlet letter "A"? However, it seems any time a story is negatively portraying a Democrat, the (D) is strangely absent.
Next thing you know you've got people blindly blaming the Republican party for idiotic actions of a Democrat governor.
Back to the point, the real issue is that here yet another Democrat sees government as the solution to society's ills, not a return to support of faith and morals. They shift focus from the problem: Dual-income families struggling to support government greed, unable to spend adequate time raising their own children, forced into giving them to the government school to raise (yet another tax drain).
ClamAV might work. THe only downside is that it doesn't yet have a real-time process scanner. If you can keep people from executing what they download before scanning it for viruses, ClamWin might do the job. You could manage the virus updates via your logon script, or just use the normal internet update. Plus ClamAV works on your Linux boxen too!
I've asked people what the point is of certification or even a college degree in IT if the people holding the paper don't necessarily know what the hell they are doing. If you ask me, it seems that most PHBs are PSE educated and have an innate need to justify the thousands of dollars and valuable years spent at college or tech school. Therefore, they only hire others who hold equally useless pieces of paper.
Am I bitter? Nah.;-)
It would seem to me that professional references should stand above all when it comes to hiring for IT. The best judgments of a techie are the results he produces, not the acronyms behind his name.
What happens when you allow the federal goverment to seize your income without representation? They seize even more.
Today, the Supreme Court once again invented new law, ignoring all previous precident, which allows the government to take your property in the name of goverment-imposed "economic development". This isn't even eminent domain. This is a private venture.
Let's take a look at the Judges who had opposed this ruling:
- Reagan appointee Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist
- Reagan appointee Justice Sandra Day O'Connor
- Reagan appointee Justice Antonin Scalia
- Bush 41 appointee Justice Clarence Thomas
And those who ruled for it:
- Ford appointee John Paul Stevens
- Reagan appointee Justice Anthony Kennedy
- Bush 41 appointee Justice David H. Souter
- Clinton appointee Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
- Clinton appointee Justice Stephen G. Breyer
Take a guess at what party is the face of the new Socialist movement.
When was the last time you heard someone tell you they wanted to carry on the family tradition of a particular trade.
My brother took over the family farm just a few years back. Since there's only 1 family farm, 10 sons, and a ever more efficient farming industry, that pretty must rules out the likihood of me personally carrying on this tradition.
How many college students move back to the small town because its "home"?
I moved home after I lost my job on the other side of the state. I'd been meaning to move back for a few years now, and that was a good opportunity. However the town is only 600 people, and I'm a tech worker by interest, so that pretty much rules out actually working in the immediate area. I'll be moving to a metro area nearby to save on the commute to my new job.
How many of us devoutly carry on our family religions?
Check.
Or how many of us think about retirement when we get our first job?
Check.
I have a theory about this type of reaction. I think people who react like this tend to be from more populous areas, or at least grew up in one. Most heartland and rural Americans are actually pretty grounded in where they came from. It seems however that those who come from more populous areas tend to be the ones that are cookie-cutter.
I'm not so concerned about scenery when I'm just trying to avoid getting in a life-threatening accident. I spend a 1+ hour commute to work daily to the Twin Cities. I don't think I've seen a city yet that's so unnecesarily jammed on a regular basis. And to make things worse, I'll be looking forward to an ice storm on the way into work tomorrow.
What amazes me is that MNDOT thinks that 2 lanes on either side of the highway is good enough for one of the largest metro areas in the US. The exits and onramps could use some better planning too. I'd just recently moved from eastern Wisconsin, and my job there took me to Milwaukee frequently. 3 lanes were pretty much standard everywhere on the highways, and I think I'd only once been in a significant slowdown in the 30 or so times I'd been driving through.
I honestly think that MNDOT intentionally designs the roads pooly to discourage people from using private transportation, at the cost of hudreds of car accidents and lost lives every year. It also explains why they would put in a light rail system that doesn't even pay for itself.
Yeah. Driver's licence (assuming it has the current address) and a bank statement, utility bill, I think pretty much any financial statment with an address on it. I'm think that any state's driver's licence would work, but I could be wrong on that because I've always been a Wisconsin resident and wouldn't really know either way from experience. Actually, now that you mention it, having a WI licence sounds like it would be a reasonable requirement. At least, one would hope.
Vote early, vote often! Uh, forget that I said that... I sure hope that none of our municipalities' ballots have chads.
What's really relevant here is that Wisconsin went to Gore by only 5700 votes. Wisconsin could have just as easily been implicated in the same mess as the Florida votes debate.
Slashdot Mirror
Did this news story make anyone else immediately think of the movie Impostor?
I've got just one question: Does it support XFS yet? We use BackupPC, which generates millions of files, and easily fills an ext3 filesystem with inodes. This is the only thing that's keeping me from switching to RHEL/CentOS from Fedora.
Certainly less risque than the Peta ad, yet rejected for political content: "Imagine the Potential"
I can't help but think of one of my favorite The Soup clips every time I hear about the LHC now.
That's a f'ing JONObrow!
Sorry. Couldn't resist.
I just got home today to find that my Nvidia card on my MythTV system has 3 blown caps (probably through no fault of NVidia). I'll probably be picking up an ATI card to replace it. It's well worth it to have the piece of mind that my card will be supported in the future.
"Congress and others protested its apparent use as an unauthorized citizen tracking database."
Meanwhile, Congressional approval ratings drop to 18%.
"Companies do not do this all the time,"
Uh. Yeah. I don't think I've worked for a single employer who hasn't done this. To honestly think otherwise is to simply mislead yourself.

Excellent! I've been waiting for ClanWin to do this. It's great to see that it's already available! Thanks!

Looks like the EPA might have to update their pH scale.

Compare this ruling to the Bush v. Gore ruling.

Well, I'm personally thankful that they didn't hack US Bank accounts.
Confused? So was I.

So much for scenic drives.

I love Pudge. Does that count?
How about a reduced bounty on the ISPs that knowingly host spammers?
Does your driver's license have some sort of non-citizen indication?
Yeah. Driver's licence (assuming it has the current address) and a bank statement, utility bill, I think pretty much any financial statment with an address on it. I'm think that any state's driver's licence would work, but I could be wrong on that because I've always been a Wisconsin resident and wouldn't really know either way from experience.
