I had Verizon not want to install DSL because I was went with Speakeasy. I finally said, IT really doesnt matter to me, and they tech installed DSL *THAT DAY*. I switched after to Speakeasy, but at least I got my DSL installed.
People break rules, even if the company has policy in place.
Both Presidents are at fault. Both presidents failed when they had good chances of snagging him, clinton on numerous occasions, and bush with Tora Bora.
Can we count the 7 months bush joined office and didnt do keep up the weekly security meetings? Took 9-11 to get Bush to do his job, which he still hasnt done.
I disagree, the idea of a virtualized OS's, with Vmware ESX, is you can assign resources during runtime, ram/cpu's... Sometimes you want a couple more CPU's or more ram.
1 youtube video can max out a cpu? Sheesh, this is the thing people are talking about, how can you have a multitasking system when every application spikes the cpu. Seems Hyperthreading was a nice limp along until dual core, now we need more.
You need a core just for IO! I'm using a dual core, and even its being pushed to its limits, I cant wait for a quad or dual quad core to actually make a system multi-tasking friendly.
BTW, This isnt a windows bashing comment, this happens in linux too...
I got my first c64 at the age of 12 in the 80's and a 300 baud modem, seeing BBS's and downloading demos and sid tunes, was great. I enjoy these books and the BBS Documentary (worth the buy), lots of stuff pre-Internet that people never experienced. Rehashs some good times as a kid not many people know, and I'm not even freaking ancient yet.... Not talking punch cards or wireing my own computer, or begging for mainframe time.
Trying to fit your entire OS on a floppy (amiga days) Downloading Demos and mods. (HA after Number 5 is alive on the 64!) Single line BBS's for tech support Fido 40 column screen sizes Upgrading to zmodem (ya, that was good) Multiline Galacticom boards with multiuser chat. Waiting all night for a file to download and its only 100K in size. BBS's turned ISP's. Door games
No. DVD and analog are doing fine for most mainstream applications.
Fine is a rather broad viewpoint...
Im viewing HDTV on my 32 inch LCD widescreen, and dvd's dont come close in quality. But I'm using comcast and their HDTV package which includes almost every primetime show in HD.
This is slightly offtopic, but its regex related. Where are the regex training programs for windows/linux? Or even regex tools to parse data and help you design your expressions?
Seems like a typical thing thats always overlooked. I saw regex buddy for PC, but it missing awk/sed/bash regex.
While reading a book helps, a tool for the inexperienced would help train and get the job done.
Thats the problem with getting people to vote, first they need some education on who/what to vote for.
And with the republican/democrate duocracy, you always vote for someone evil. Both want to ban your rights, but for different reasons. Its a shame, we need more independants and other parties to start winning...
And top it off, all the bi-partisan politics, no progress ever gets made.
Actually, I suspect that books that could be banned in the US are, Terrorist handbooks, Hate Crime sponsered howtos, Drug use information and Simulated child porn.
Since they are outlawed and used to put people in jail, I think that counts as Banned.
Ive been running applications people access on their cell phones (or blackberries) for years.
Its been common to run a backend server (tomcat/apache/oracle/Java) and use the phone as the frontend, and allow webaccess for easier changes.
AJAX is free, easy to use, and people are using it now. Not even going into first revisions of software and bugs that are associated with new software, or licensing fees.
That Adobe flex uses coldfusion, we stopped using that and migrated to Tomcat.
I was using All Seeing Eye, but Yahoo bought them, and havnt updated to many new games. Xfire has always been active updating games, but the user interface is a dumbed down.
As a old tribes player, the game is old enough that there isnt always a full server, or the servers are password protected. Xfire lets me play that old game.
Whoa, Consoles just work? Ive had my fair share of xbox dvd-roms go bad, and PS/2 lock ups. To be honest, PC games are cheaper on sale week, and a PC can do a lot more than just games. And I havnt seen world of warcraft ported to xbox or ps2.
The games I've had to update where online games, all games I've bought for PC work out of the box, unless there are multiplayer patchs (which also include new maps/etc)...
While a console is nice for some games, I'd rather have a mouse+asdf keys over a joypad controller anyday.
Yup, Nagios is great, and you can customize it to work on anything. I dont see a reason to buy an expensive professional enterprise solution when Nagios is an enterprise solution.
Plus when you start using it, you find your self adding new scripts to monitor more and more because its that easy. I'm using it to monitor tcp/udp ports, processes, oracle rac instanaces, oracle queues, swiftmq queues, hardware nics, hardware stats, memory/cpu/etc, log sizes, etc.
So, not sure why I'd buy Netcool when Nagios is free, and works great. The time you spend configuring Nagios is cheap and easy. And it works with netexpert too.
I like having a nice dashboard for my NOC, so they can keep a good eye on the health of a service, without lots of training.
Over a year, Divorce is final (thank god) last month. And Washington state, almost bad as Ohio.;)
Tired of seeing biased laws and news about men. Its as if its open season on men (white men), cant poke fun at anyone without a backlash, and theres no mens groups, LETS BASH MEN... It seems perfectly acceptable to bash men on TV. Guys are too stupid, Women leaving men at mcdonalds because the other guy is sexier, Guy cant find directions, Guys are criminals..
Oh well, I hope my sons never have to go through this hell, and places like slashdot which has a big male population can see these laws and get out and vote. 5-10 years, lots of these guys on here will be fathers, and maybe VOTE and help change this country of ours (or theirs)....
My email address is on my profile, if anyone wants to email me about fathers rights, etc...
I know first hand how courts abuse fathers, I went into a divorce after 14 years to a cheating spouse. I made the mistake of letting my ex move back in with me, she promptly (day after) filed rape charges and took custody of the house and children. It was a great move on her part, i automatically had to go in for eval for abusive men.
Even though, I passed my eval with 0 change of violence, they said I could use counseling because my parents where divorced, and thats a factor on abusive men. I'm contesting that.
Until someone here goes through a nasty divorce on a longtime marraige and treated unfairly just because your a guy, dont tell me I'm flaimbait, I earned the right to talk about how I was treated.
Everytime I pick up my kids, I call the cops to let them know I'm sitting in my car infront of the house, just so she cant claim anything. I also never go alone.
Think is funny, all this crap going on about men, but I have 0 criminal history, and I'm in a class with criminals on how to control your anger to not raise your hands to women.
I was guilty, guilty of being a man in divorce court.
With women claiming rape and abuse in divorce cases which are civil cases, these men would now be marked as sex offenders. Even though 99% of the time its false, just to win custody and child support.
I cant wait for gay marriage, so they can experience divorce, those people just love to vote. Hell, lets have more legal imigrants in the US, they like to vote too, since it seems Americans cant seem to vote. Is the only to get America back is to give it away?!
i feel like a traitor, but should i at least look at ubuntu?
Debian is mostly generic builds, but you miss few of the gnome/kde tweaks and third party applications.
I always end up getting applications that are not in the repositories, so it comes down to the best installer. Command line and rescue mode, Debian, Graphical live boot cd, Ubuntu.
But, I'm really impressed with Ubuntu's forums and support (Which is one of the things mentioned in the article) Some developers don't support through the main channels due to politics...
People have owned pitbulls for years, before pitbulls it was Dobermans. Banning things because people do criminal behavior means someday, everything will be banned.
BTW, I have yet to see a new story about a pitbull bite with someone without a prison record....
I've been playing since beta, and checking the stats on my server, the number of total online players have been going down hill for the last year.
Many of the large guilds are gone, they dont play as much, and people just pop on to talk to friends.
I cant wait until the expansion when they disconnect honor/rank from pvp'ing and allow smaller groups for instances. Non-instance pvp, The casual player suffers from wow's (l33t guild) attitude.
I think many people are just paying but not playing, soon people will finally just cancel the accounts.

Honestly, if a VM requires more than 3.6GB RAM

What they dont say, an Nvidia 7800 GT is twice as fast as an ATI 800, 140 bux or 100 bux, 40 bux buys a lot more power.
